    Brewers have gotten great production from the guys who were supposed to be in AAA (Villy, Yo, Braun, Spurling).. makes you wonder if it can continue with Parra, Thatcher and Balfour later this year.
  2. Trowekamp
    Prince Fielder homers (30) on a fly ball to right center. Yep it is only July 13th.. don't look now Barry..
  3. Trowekamp
    Who on this forum was arguing at the beginning of the year that keeping Braun in AAA for 30 - 40 games would only be a one win difference versus starting Counsell / Graffanino... Brewers would be up 7 - 8 games right now if he broke camp.

    I don't pair them up as much as keep an running pitching staff and add / remove as the season goes on: SP: Yo SP: Parra SP: Inman SP: Jeffress SP: Braddock RP: Thatcher RP: Balfour RP: Salas That way I don't necessarily get disappointed as usually this list all have something good going for them.. with Yo now in the majors and Braddock on indefinite DL the list starts to thin out with Dillard and Hammond having down years. I guess I would add Garrison and Amundsen..

    Nice pitching all the way around.. Guerrero in Rookie (6 IP 3H 0R 1K) Jeffress in A Ball (6IP 3H 1R 6K) Garrison in A+ (7IP 1H 0R 7K) Miller in AA Debut (6IP 8H 3R 4K) Parra in AAA (5 IP 6H 2R 4K) Totals (with Garrison still pitching): 30 IP 17H 7R 22K Well is far from dry...especially considering that McLendon, Braddock, Inman, and Rogers aren't pitching..

    Braun can make 20-30 errors this year and that bat is still worth it.. Braun on the hunt for Pence
  7. Trowekamp
    I was disappointed the Brewers have left 7 runners on base in 4 innings until I saw the pirates had left on 6 in 3..a clutch hitting extravaganza going today.

    Conversation on the mound: "So this guy owns you so far, how about we just walk him and Fielder and take our chances with Hall?"
  9. Trowekamp
    Hart needs to bomb one so Cappy doesn't have to run.
  10. Trowekamp
    Mench, Miller, Counsell, and Graffy are turning into a solid bench.. they look a lot better in smaller doses.
  11. Trowekamp
    When your batting average equals Roger Clemens career win total you are having a good year.. hopefully it ends up in the Walter Johnson zone..
  12. Trowekamp
    I think it was reference to Cappy's pitch count... I think Yost let Villy go last night because Gallardo can throw today.
  13. Trowekamp
    I agree about the blackout restrictions.. when was the last time a blackout caused someone to purchase a ticket - 1990? With all the ways to follow the game on the Net today what is the point? Unlike every other business that tries to distribute their product to the widest possible audience sports leagues continue to do the opposite.
  14. Trowekamp
    I know it is early and a small sample size but it is saying something when you make Prince look like the second best hitter on the team.. The question is am I talking about Hart or Braun?
  15. Trowekamp
    I am sure it is combination of late enough to catch people who are leaving work early and early enough not to overlap with July 4th festivities / fireworks...
  16. Trowekamp
    Nice to hear people actually wanting Graffy and Miller included in the lineup.. good sign that the entire team is start to click offensively. I almost wish the all-star break wasn't upcoming as I have a feeling you could see a month of baseball where the Brewers average 6 - 7 runs..
  17. Trowekamp
    As an example of why Peter Gammons is a demi-god he had mentioned in his blog in spring training that as impressive as Howard was that Prince would surpass him because of the age difference and all around hitting ability. I think he also mentioned that Prince had an outside chance to knock Bonds / Rodriguez off the Career HR mantle.
  18. Trowekamp
    I do have to say that I love when the IGT's get on a cheese sandwich pic roll.... something unique and infrequent.. kind of like a Youman start..
  19. Trowekamp
    Now if I was that guy from northsidebaseball.com I would just make that Prince photo my signature and post 5 times a page to annoy everybody. Thank goodness I am a Brewers fan.

    From Tom Verducci's article: 1B: Prince Fielder, Milwaukee At 23 he's on track to become the youngest player ever to hit 50 home runs, eclipsing the 24-year-old Mickey Mantle's record from 1956. sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tom_verducci/07/03/insider.allstars/1.html

    Great picture of Prince on http://cnnsi.com right now..

    I know that the higher ERA's are now gone (Dessens, Capellan, Aquino) but from Woogies IGT: Gallardo - 2.79 Villy - 2.83 Cordero - 2.90 Wise - 3.09 Spurling - 3.20 Shouse - 3.20 Turnbow - 3.68 Also this doesn't take into account inherited runners and there is still concern about playoff type relievers (i.e. dominant on back to back games against same club) don't we have to be happy with where they are at. If you told me before the season this would be the stats halfway through I would have been very happy (amazed that Spurling is at 3.20). So why do I look at Nashville and think that come August, Parra, Thatcher, and Balfour would be better fits with Villy, Wise, T-Bow, Coco (I am assuming that Gallardo will be in the rotation the last month or so). Is it just the fact we are spoiled with a wealth of relief options or are these guys playing over their heads? I don't want to be one of those fans who forget what the bottom felt like but also think it is important to take your shots at a World Series title when you have one since the window of opportunity comes along infrequently (twice in 50 years) or can be fleeting (i.e. Chicago White Soxz). So in summary I think I have been a little to hard on the current group so far but also think their is opportunity to have a better bullpen in the second half and playoffs.

    By the way I would just like to thank everybody who posts of not overloading the threads with redundant graphics.. the graphics on this site are usually relevant and funny while I was annoyed at northsidebaseball with all the graphics in people's signatures.. the guy doing the play by play posts was particularly annoying. nothing like the same picture of Zambrano 150 times in 1 IGT...
  24. Trowekamp
    I think almost more important than chewing up the bullpens the last two games is to beat up their two young starters who have been excellent for them so far. Hopefully this starts them no a downward slide.

    My Comcast Menu says Twins-Detroit for the Twin Cities (I am in Eagan)... so we get screwed over again..
