    I should qualify that as other than LaPorta of course, who will sign because he's got no place to go if he doesn't. I would really like them to sign #6 Daniel Merklinger and #11 Cody Scarpetta yet but other than that I"m pretty indifferent to the rest. They've alread signed an avalanche of picks, so gimme my 2 pitchers and I'm a happy guy.

    Haters! I had to laugh, every 80s hair band video instantly came back to me seeing that list of bands, you know, when MTV actually played videos. I hate to say it, but if it was in WI I'd be there in a heartbeart.
  3. TheCrew07
    heck I'd be happy if he cut his second half strike outs down under 60, that would be a heck of a first season, considering the other strides he made I don't care if he bats .250 the rest of the way.

    All it takes is a little faith...

    When was the last time a thread wasn't filled with negativity? Some of you need to go do something else for awhile and cool off. Seriously, in games threads are no fun when everyone is bitter and fatalistic.
  6. TheCrew07
    Ahh yep you're right, for some reason I was thinking we needed a win, but we don't.
  7. TheCrew07
    I must say, I find the negativity around here astounding for a 1 run and now tied ballgame.
  8. TheCrew07
    1.5... if they lose the second it will be down to 1 wouldn't it? A half a game either way when you aren't playing? I was just going to post how disappointing it was that there was no BC game.
  9. TheCrew07
    Cause it makes sense to have your best pitchers in the bullpen? He sure looked crappy last year down the stretch, amazingly I had forgotten how bad he was starting. It makes much more sense to bring up the kid that hasn't pitched more than 155 innings in his career and has trouble pitching more than 6 innings without hitting 100 pitches and insert him into the starting role.
  10. TheCrew07
    These in game threads are starting to remind me alot of August last year and 2004.
  11. TheCrew07
    No offense to you but why hasn't Villy earned a shot at starting? He's like the Corey Hart of the pitching staff.
  12. TheCrew07
    I just stopped by to say that this notion that Villy best serves this team out of the pen drives me nuts. The kid can flat out pitch and get hitters out. Long term he belongs in the rotation, end of story. The bullpen is fine this year, just as it would be for Yo, but I will supremely disappointed if he's not a quality starting pitcher at some point.
  13. TheCrew07
    I posted that in the 4th... Yo's first run was a hit batter, a walk, and then a 2 out single. His second a home run, walks and hit batters coming around to score are the worst.
  14. TheCrew07
    Yo is just okay thus far, sigh.
  15. TheCrew07
    Ahh I get it now Mass, I was wondering why here and there as well, but didn't know how to qualify it. Thanks.
  16. TheCrew07
    Well statistically speaking this has been his best season by far in his career. Stats below. www.thebaseballcube.com/p...ring.shtml Not that I'm unopposed to him, but he's been pretty crappy in spring training where a guy like him has to excel to get a roster spot. Balfour and Thatcher would be my first 2 promotions. Balfour had MLB success before a series of injuries nearly ruined his career, but he looks to be back on track. I don't want to pigeon hole Thatcher as LOOGY, his splits are nearly identical vs R or L batters (ERA excluded). I think he can give us what Shouse does and more. Shouse just never has done it for me, he seems like a gimic pitcher which other teams are starting to figure out. I still have a hard time believing his career ERA is just above 4. I tend to favor relievers that can go multiple innings on a regular basis and besides Villy, how many of those do we have (excluding closer and setup guy)? Capellan seems to be up to fill Dessens role, I'm not a big Wise or Shouse guy by any stretch. Balfour, Thatcher, Sarfate, Yo, and Oxspring would meet my ideal criteria for this seaon, but I'd rather see Balfour, Thatcher, and Yo (if need be) be called up first. Oxspring has been encouraging, but he only has 12 innings of MLB experience under his belt. I'm not sure how to explain this, but I think we could deepen the pen by reducing the number of pitchers and adding more quality arms. I've always favored a longer bench as it lends itself to more flexibility at the plate.

    I'm having a heck of a time going through the draft pick thread and finding the new articles on the players. My suggestions, which are things that worked well in the past. 1. 1 thread that just lists the draft picks, the first post above 2. 1 thread for each 5-10 players with the picture and player info. It's not so bad when you guys are updating the list into bold signed players, but when information is added to a player I have a heck of time finding the player post that was edited. I realize it doesn't make it as easy to archive in the future, as you'd have to archive multiple threads instead of just 1 so feel free to disregard if it's too much trouble.

    I don't know, there's a tollway in IN or OH that's just as bad. The concrete was like 4 feet high, so in the little car I was in you basically saw treetops and sky.
  19. TheCrew07
    Woogie must like or respect Verlander, no hateful/funny picture of him.
  20. TheCrew07
    Awesome sig Aracko...
  21. TheCrew07
    I'd like to see what the college boys can do... I hope LaPorta bounces right to WV or BC. WV would be good, even if he's lights out and gets bumped up to BC right away, at least that way they can't say they were bypassed by another top prospect.
  22. TheCrew07
    When you start sweating it helped reduce the glare some I think, I would have worn Sunglasses if any of my coaches would have let us though. Also Pitchleague is right on the money, us outfielders looked big pimpin wearing the eye black smeared all over the place. Especially since we all had great speed and stole bases with head first slides. Strawberries on the elbows, eye black, dirt, and sweat all mixed together all over your face... now that's baseball!

    haters! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I like Phish, but it seems they get more credit than they deserve at times. I love OAR though, I bet I listen to A Crazy Game of Poker at least once a day on average.
  24. TheCrew07
    I agree BJ, I just can't bring myself to get off his band wagon, though I keep posting against calling him up on the MLB forum. He's just not ready yet in my opinion, but man if he can harness that stuff... Thatcher, Balfour, and Sarfate would be great additions to the pen.
  25. TheCrew07
    Ohh my wow, BC is absolutely crushing Palm Beach, 11 runs thus far, all earned.
