It is a pretty good season when the biggest thing we have to complain about is our 8th hitters and 6 and 7th pitchers out of the bullpen... Good news is in September when it will really count Braun, Gallardo, and Thatcher will be in those roles.
Graffy must have decided to give the Brewers a reason to not call up Braun.. of course Braun is 3-5 and now batting .321 so I think is too little to late.. when is interleague again? Can't wait to see Ryan DH.
I would love Dillard instead of Dessens.. the long mop-up role seems something he would be perfect for.. I find it interesting that the Brewers could take first and have a lower payroll next year after dumping: Jenkins (7mil) Mench (3.5 mil) Graffy (3 mil) Coco (5 mil) Miller (3 mil) Dessens (1.7 mil) Total: 24 mil
Mike Jones has returned.. 3 IP 4K.. I don't hold out hope for him someday in the starting rotation but would be great if he developed in a power bullpen arm in a year or two...
One more from Soup and then turn it over to the Nasty Boys. On a cold night I think they let him throw 2 more (120 pitches) and bring in Cordero for one..
I am sure Lou is thinking my new favorite quote: " God give me the patience to accept the things I cannot change and the intelligence to dump this guy's body where not one will find it after I kill him. "
Villy!!!! So you think if we use Hart and it comes down to it we go to Dave Bush to pinch hit? Only if it is a lefty otherwise Yost has to hit Capuano otherwise he will get roasted in the IGT because he didn't get the right matchup
Silver lining today.. only pitchers unavailable tomorrow are Dressen and Villy.. everybody else can go again.. not sure the Cubs can say the same thing.
Yep...not a smart move there Billy. Has anyone else noticed that Bill seems to be "stuck on stupid" this year? I was going to post something similar.. do you think it is: a. trying to justify a new contract b. reverting back to his undisciplined ways now that he has security c. trying to do too much to make up for his defense...
