I always thought that after he hit Pujols, that ensured him a roster spot. I don't see a lot of upside in McClung. I'd be happy if he was cut. You can't teach velocity. No, you can't teach velocity -- but you can clobber it at the MLB level if you can't locate your offspeed pitches. -
What's the Going Rate for the Tooth Fairy?
Fatter than Joey replied to brewerjamie15's topic in Off-Topic Forum
$25? -- Really -- I would think your kid would be buying teeth at school for $5 and putting them under their pillow for that sort of coin. I'd be suspicious around tooth #50 -
Yeah I would -- Except I pretty much run around and shoot my own guys and then get lost.

Wakefield pitched pretty well last year.

This is the biggest reason we didn't trade any of the pitchers for a couple of prospects. I sort of doubt it -- My guess is the biggest reason was that we didn't get any good offers. Vargas could rescue this team this year but most of the offseason, posters could not wait to get him out the door. Vargas will probably suck, and will probably not rescue anything. I'd be ok if he would have been traded for something.

Would Lowering the Mound Prevent Arm Injuries?
Fatter than Joey replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Who's "Sir" in the letter? Me -- I asked him what he thought. I demand that sort of respect from Cy Young winners. -
Pudge today may not be as fast as he once was.

Would Lowering the Mound Prevent Arm Injuries?
Fatter than Joey replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Here is Dr. Mike Marshall's thoughts on this.... Dear Sir, That Dr. Raasch cares what Nolan Ryan has to say about anything proves that he is not a research scientist. That Dr. Raasch does not understand that baseball pitchers spend years to master their baseball pitching motion with regard to the height of the mound, such that, when they threw on lower mounds, their pitching rhythm would remain the same as they have used for years proves that he does not understand motor skill acquisition. Basically, this (research) study is ridiculous. The cause of the unnecessary stress on the pitching shoulder and elbow lies in the injurious flaws inherent in the 'traditional' baseball pitching motion, not the height of the baseball pitching mound. The cure for rupturing the Ulnar Collateral Ligament is for 'traditional' baseball pitchers to pendulum swing their pitching hand all the way up to driveline height in one smooth, continuous movement. The cure for irritating the front of the pitching shoulder is for 'traditional' baseball pitchers to move their pitching hand to driveline height at the same time that their glove foot lands. Therefore, lowering the mound would not decrease pitching arm injuries and practicing pitching off flat ground between pitching off the mound in competitive games, because of the muscle memory that baseball pitchers develop relative to pitching off mounds, would increase pitching arm injuries. Sincerely, Dr. Mike Marshall -
My son loves battlefront, and I will play cooperatively with him.

I didnt see Marquette getting hosed by the refs, I just saw them get beat on a great shot by Lopez. Yeah -- Besides that last shot Lopez took, he got 2 very easy entry-pass layups to start the OT -- Marq. couldn't guard him.

what what! chat Don

Go Marquette!

I don't think it is likely.

1. Villenueva becomes a designated rotation stooge 2. Dusty Baker gets more out of his team than Yost 3. Doug Melvin gets canned.

and if running with reckless abandon didn't result Right, like Prince running halfway to second, or a guy on third running on contact with a drawn in infield, or mosquitos.

If Braun were to bat third with Fielder fourth, Braun's base stealing potential greatly diminishes because Fielder is a home run hitter and will not see as many pitches. I am totally against the Brewers running a whole bunch-- especially to the point where the lineup is adjusted for it. Fielder needs more protection than Braun in the batting order because Fielder is more of a one-tool hitter I think Fielder is every bit as good as a hitter as Braun.

I stopped watching Fox News in the morning because a Penthouse Pet was doing the weather. I boycotted Fox News a long time ago -- however maybe I was a bit hasty.... Crush 'em like a bug Brian...

Good luck with the birthday! Make sure that those drums you put the nuclear waste in are secured rather tightly -- according to my research, sloppy nuclear waste disposal is the Genesis of zombies.

Chris Narveson... any chance he wins a roster spot?
Fatter than Joey replied to packer4rob's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think the only way Narveson breaks camp is if there is some sort of combination of injuries+trade. I'm sure though he will be on the Brewers radar in Nashville though. -
Is Rickie's Production A Concern?
Fatter than Joey replied to afeter's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No kidding..Watching the game today, Weeks is just not a good fielder. Not to pile on, but I was not impressed with either Hardy or Weeks (especially Weeks) -- I realize that Munson isn't going to get a lot of starts at 1b, but they sure didn't help out Sheets at all yesterday. I'm afraid Weeks will HAVE to put up crazy OPS numbers to justify his position in the field -- at least 2b, -- I'd be willing to see how he does in the OF if a spot cleared up.
