    An offseason trade would be fine by me. Hart still struggles with the outside curveball too much.
  2. bobskube
    Is Jose Valentin available? He's better than Hall and Yuni.
  3. bobskube
    Trust me-I'm all about partying. Hall just does a little too much and it takes away from time he needs to improve on the field. He also blows off coaches recommendations regularly. A very stubborn dude who is lazy. You can choose to believe me or not. However, I would not be totally surprised if Brewers considered Hall because of his familiarity with the club. Although, Josh Wilson looked good today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Also, do you think coaches would call him lazy to the media? Never.

    I wouldn't even swing. Thanks Coughlin!

    Don't like Axford 3 days in a row but we have really no choice.

    There were a few pictures that surfaced of Hall partying at some nightclubs. Nothing too scandalous, but since he was struggling on the field, that somehow translated into "Bill Hall partied himself out of Milwaukee." When I think of "cancer," I think of a guy teammates can't stand and want gone. That's not even close to being Bill Hall. Billy not necessarily a "bad" person. However, he is a late night partier that thinks he is better than he really is. Is very lazy. Doesn't make adjustments except LASIK and his batting stance every other day. This is straight from current Brewer coach. Trust me. "Cancer" maybe not have been best choice of words. Maybe "Self-Centered Primadonna" better.

    Is this in blue? Yes-Betancourt bad and needs replacement at deadline. But Hall has a bad attitude that the Brewers do not need. Hall thinks he is far better than he actually is and is perpetually lazy. This comes straight from one nameless coach with Crew.
  8. bobskube
    No Bill Hall. A cancer and a bad baseball player.

    Here is my unpopular lineup. (At least against righties) MorganHartBraunPrinceRickieMcgeheeLucroy Betancourt Rickie has served his time as a leadoff man and done pretty well but it is time to optimize his talents. He only was thrust in the leadoff role in the Yosty years because they had no other options at the time and he has kinda stuck. I think batting behind Prince would help him flourish even more. He would still see a ton of fastballs too. I think it is an advantage because (a) he is better than McGehee, (b) he is not a rally killing DP hitter, © he can steal bases ahead of Mcgehee so they can avoid GIDP. I think Morgan can be a solid traditional leadoff man. ---BS

    I actually think Brewers will get through this. Call me crazy but I still see a good team. One week does not a season make.
  11. bobskube
    I am the biggest Hart hater (and biggest Weeks supporter) on this site but I will give him time. It is far too small a sample. I'll be patient for once. I'll save the Bill Hall comparisons for now. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    TLB: We finally agree on something! I have backed Rick since day one and it was not always easy with all the harsh criticism that he has gotten. I know I have been a severe critic of Hart, JJ, Turnbow, and especially the worst player ever (Bill Hall); but I have stuck by Rick from the beginning. It was obvious he had tons of talent but he needed to figure it out. I really believe the leadoff role hurt him quite a bit initially because he was taking far too many pitches to get on base. How many times did he take two strikes down the middle and then swing at a dirt ball on strike 3? Nice to see improvement there even though he might be sacrificing a few walks. The thing is...I still think he will improve even more. I look forward to watching it.
  13. bobskube
    Good, I'm really sick of Almonte/Kotsay and Gomez batting 2. I just hope they are being real cautious, but he needs ABs.
  14. bobskube
    Hmm...I wondering the same thing. He should be playing unless something isn't right.
  15. bobskube
    Guys, he scares me to death. His arm slot is not consistent at all. I am not at all a Ken Rosenthal fan, but I actually agree with him. He mentioned that scouts said Axford was awful in spring training and he looked lost. I agree with him. He looks like he has no confidence. Mark me down as being beyond worried. On the other note, kudos to Brewers for Braun deal. Fantastic!
  16. bobskube
    Derrick Axford? But seriously, this team needs to be more proactive than reactive with Axford or we will have another Turnbow on our hands.
  17. bobskube
    I often think we make too much of charity at times during the regular season. I know this sounds a bit cruel, but I just want our players to stay out of trouble and play well. I know it is good PR for team and it reflects great on community, but the priority during the season should be winning baseball games. Take charity time during offseason Corey and prove that I am wrong about you this year!
  18. bobskube
    Then why are we even talking about this? It's strictly opinion. By the way, when does this injury become fishy to the rest of you? 2 months? Just curious. I could be totally wrong about this and will admit it once Hart is back and playing like 2010. I've been wrong before and will be wrong again.
  19. bobskube
    Sorry, I am not a MD. I could be wrong on this completely. Or...I could be right. We will really never know.
  20. bobskube
    Greinke could play now if he was a position player. Has to take full course of therapy to get back as a starting pitcher. No comparison. I had same problem with JJ and Hall and I got ripped for it on here too. I'm used to it.
  21. bobskube
    I want him back too but this one seems a bit fishy. Either this is more serious than Brewers have let on or Hart is a little soft. By the way, I am not jumping to a conclusion. I am just openly questioning situation.
  22. bobskube
    We really need him now to balance out the order and he has been out with a strained oblique for what now...six weeks? And we still have no idea when he will come back. Have any of you heard or seen that before? Also, other players (Dunn, Holliday) will come back from their appendectomies in less than two weeks. Hart takes two months that occurred at end of 2009. (Matt Cassel only missed a week too and he could have played but they kept him out for precautionary reasons.) What do you all think? I think he is a little mentally soft myself. Thoughts?
  23. bobskube
    I agree, Straw. The Almonte & Reed carping on here, the assumptions they're major difference makers, using your quite-relevant '82 Brewers reference point, is the parallel to asserting that Rob Picciolo & Marshall Edwards made a huge difference by their presence on the team vs., say, a Bob Skube or someone else. Picciolo & Edwards made little difference at all. Edwards, despite his speed & defense, was a bit-part player at best. Picciolo was the only regular roster guy not to homer that year and really hardly ever played -- kinda the '82 version of Enrique Cruz from whatever year that was or of Mike Rivera this spring: not enough playing time to matter, no matter how you slice it. Edit/addendum: I'm not debating the difference in the level of access to information now vs. '82. We know why folks are able to get into these discussions/debates. I'm just saying that in '82, Picciolo & Edwards really didn't make any difference. It's quite possible that the same may be true for Reed & Almonte (though I happen to like both those guys). . . . . And at least this is better than a few years ago where the debates were all across the diamond but for our starters rather than the 6th IF & 5th OF. A Bob Skube reference! Yes!

    I'm in! Right CF bleachers. Great times! Ive had a great few weeks-Packers-Bears tix; Super Bowl tix, and Brewers-Red Sox tix. Very nice!

    I was there in 2008 and I was stunned at the amount of Brewers fans there. It was awesome on Saturday until Suppan allowed 3 in the first immediately. I would highly recommend anyone who missed out last time to go. Very easy to get to from downtown and very restaurant and bar friendly. Atmosphere inside stadium is incredible. It is a must to cross off bucket list.
