    I think he was referring to defensively... even so, I still call that a wash.
  3. zzzmanwitz
    It all evens out in the end. I'd rather have the busy part of the schedule at the beginning of the year while the team is still fresh. More off days in the dog days of summer.

    wow... if all those things end up being true and they go 80-82, i'll be amazed. That is one of the most negative outlooks i've seen on the Brewers this preseason.

    Bring in Hawkins to send a pea at one of their heads.

    I honestly think all that this means is that they know what Suppan brings and they want one more look at Chris and Manny going against Major League talent. Not that one game should make or break the decision.

    Sorry for my oversight.

    Lawrie is Raking. Escobar could be every bit as good as Hardy. The jury is out on Gamel (even though I still think he will perform at a high level). Lucroy will be a solid ML Catcher. I think any of these pitchers could turn into solid if not above average ML pitchers: Braddock Arnett Odorizzi Rivas Peralta Loftgren Scarpetta Rogers Jones Heckathorn Axford Butler Anundsen Jeffress... I think the talent is there to reload the team if Fielder and Weeks leave.

    I'm going to use my 2000th post for something positive... Brewers go 92-70, win the Central, and eventual World Series Champions!

    I understand that it is not the only thing they cover, but if you are getting paid to cover sports in a city, you would think that you should have at least some knowledge on the most popular team in said city. He has admitted to having none (which is admirable, I would argue that the majority of sports talk show host know very little in general). I just hate sports talk show hosts in general. If you are getting paid to do something, try and put some effort into your craft.

    (I'm not trying to bash Ellerson, but he has even admitted on the air he knows next to nothing about baseball.)Then why is he a sports radio host in a city where the main draw is the Milwaukee Brewers??? Ugh...

    The Frozen Four is in Detroit. That could have been a tough atmosphere.
  13. zzzmanwitz
    Yes... Was pulling career numbers. Sorry I wasn't clear.
  14. zzzmanwitz
    That seems like a pretty big leap, especially since Doug Melvin only speaks in GM speak.
  15. zzzmanwitz
    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUCKY!!!!!

    Gallardo got rocked today. Maybe he should start in the Bullpen.

    Its just really hard to draft and develop young pitching. From 2000-2007, only 94 pitchers have been drafted that have at least 10 wins, an ERA below 5.00, and a WHIP below 1.5. 4 teams have not drafted on of these players. The Brewers only 1, Yovanni Gallardo. If I raise the Criteria to 18 wins, 4.40 ERA, and 1.3 WHIP, there are only 23 players drafted that meet that criteria. Year Round Drafting Team Player G W L ERA WHIP 2004 1 Angels Jered Weaver 110 51 27 3.73 1.25 2000 17 Athletics Rich Harden 135 50 29 3.39 1.24 2004 24 Blue Jays Jesse Litsch 51 20 19 3.83 1.30 2003 3 Blue Jays Shaun Marcum 89 24 17 3.95 1.28 2000 1 Braves Adam Wainwright 149 46 24 3.17 1.26 2004 2 Brewers Yovani Gallardo 54 22 17 3.57 1.29 2001 2 Cardinals Dan Haren 196 79 62 3.61 1.18 2001 1 Cubs Mark Prior 106 42 29 3.51 1.23 2000 8 D'backs Brandon Webb 199 87 62 3.27 1.24 2006 1 Giants Tim Lincecum 90 40 17 2.9 1.15 2002 1 Giants Matt Cain 138 44 51 3.53 1.25 2005 42 Indians Tim Lincecum 90 40 17 2.9 1.15 2002 4 Marlins Josh Johnson 86 34 16 3.4 1.29 2000 4 Nationals Cliff Lee 194 90 52 3.97 1.3 2002 6 Orioles John Maine 99 40 33 4.22 1.3 2002 1 Phillies Cole Hamels 116 48 34 3.67 1.18 2000 3 Pirates Chris Young 131 46 34 3.87 1.21 2000 16 Rays James Shields 118 43 36 4.01 1.23 2002 1 Royals Zack Greinke 177 50 53 3.73 1.27 2004 1 Tigers Justin Verlander 132 65 43 3.92 1.28 2005 2 Twins Kevin Slowey 56 26 15 4.39 1.28 2002 2 Twins Jesse Crain 305 32 20 3.5 1.27 2003 2 Twins Scott Baker 111 43 33 4.27 1.26

    Narveson pitched 136 innings in 2008 and 122 in 2009. I think it would be pretty reasonable if he pitched 160 innings this year. Only three SPs pitched over 160 innings for the Brewers last season. Looper - 194.2Gallardo - 185.2Suppan - 161.2Parra - 140Bush - 114.1 If we look at our our additions, I doubt the Brewers would expect 200 innings from Narveson. Wolf - 214.1Davis - 203.1
  19. zzzmanwitz
    Again I'm going to say, no decision should be made on one game. Even if we are basing this on this spring training, Parra's ERA is still over 1 lower than Suppan.
  20. zzzmanwitz
    I'm still holding out hope for Narveson...
  21. zzzmanwitz
    I forgot about my 30 bonus points for Melvin, Macha, and Sharpie.
  22. zzzmanwitz
    Well, if i'm gong to rain on Suppan... He pitched the next two innings scoreless.
  23. zzzmanwitz
    Suppan's first inning today. 3 H, 1 B, 2 ER, 0 K Also, and Error on a pickoff throw...
  24. zzzmanwitz
    15 out of 25, 209 out of 325 according to TH's projections... ugh
  25. zzzmanwitz
    I'm guessing the difference is that most hitters are righties. 2 or 3 LHPs in the rotation are good to mix it up during a series, but 4 is too much (unless they are all Randy Johnson type pitchers). Performance is performance no matter which arm they throw with. I'll take a rotation of 5 LHP if they have good ERAs and WHIPs.
