  2. I think you're wrong about that (because I believe it would be Heether, and that's an appropriate role for him). And I think we are pretty close to seeing it happen.
  3. Jeff, Mat, Prince and Trevor: Your thank you notes are in the mail!
  4. I've been big on the Bedard idea. I think that BrewersProspecus is right in that Seattle really isn;t that much in it and they don;t want to even risk Bedard coming back on a arby deal. I think they trade him for something less than Gamel, Escobar or Lawrie. He's a lefty with awesome stuff and he's just what the Brewers need. If it happens, I would be thrilled. You're making some good points dude, but chill out please. TooLive is making good points of his and wasn't attacking or insulting anyone with his observation/opinion and admited that it was based on nothing more than a cursory glance at OPS.
  5. Not a must win game, but just another pathetic showing. Once Cameron kicked that Kendall grounder the Brewers just went away quietly.
  6. Oh, yo. You're not even gonna get through five, are you? EDIT: Thankfully, I'm wrong. How nuts will the board go if he comes back out for the sixth with 102 pitches already?
  7. What a stupid play. Holy cow, am I so sick of this team and the way they are playing lately.
  8. Hmmm, well you've talked me down a bit on this end. The MLE stat, that just seems crazy to me but it's probably the fact I have a hard time buying 27-year-old AAA guy.
  9. From McCalvy's Tweet: Braun on comments about #Brewers pitching: "I wasn't trying to call anybody out." ... "I apologize if I offended anyone in the organization." EDIT: Heard the whole statement on Homer: Uggh, also gave the dreaded "taken out of context" explanation. Did say he owned up to taking responsibility for it and that he and Melvin are "cool."
  10. I'm concerned that McGahee and Counsel can't sustain where they are at and will end up being less than Lopez in the second half. If it doesn't take much, I'd like to have him.
  11. I'm not sure what good calling out anyone in a public forum does. All it does is put the person on the defensive and make them feel like you are trying to embarrass them. Particaularlry when the player is paid more than you and has a longer contract, it's just dumb. Regardless, Braun is going to speak on this at 4:25 per McClavy's twitter: AdamMcCalvy#brewers Braun to address reporters at 4:25 p.m. CT about his spat with GM Melvin. Might be just a quick statement.
  12. Per McCalvy, Parra has been moved off the list of probable starters for Nashville: http://brewersbeat.mlblog...rs_headed_back_to_m.html Could be that he's going to be the starter and that the Brewers were just freeing up a spot because Koshansky has been stinky, OR ...Parra could be part of the trade.
  13. A public scolding is never something a manager in any company should ever do to employee. The possibility for harm far outweighs any good that should come with it. Managers need to have more measured and thoughtful responses to stuff like this. It's not about being media friendly, it's about handling a situation that comes up the right way. Melvin failed miserably.
  14. Ooops, my bad. Man, you guys who keep up on all the minors stuff ... Great job. I thought I was relatively on top of things, I really had no idea.
  15. Something is telling me Josh Butler. Just a gut instinct.
  16. That fact is that DM should've known better. It doesn't matter that it happened one time. His comments extended this story by at least two days now (yesterday and today). If I worked on the Brewers PR staff, I'd want to throttle DM right now. He should have told all those hard-working front-office folks privately that he was pissed at Ryan and told them he would let him know how he feels about his comments. He should have talked to TH about it (saying no comment would have extended the story too). He should have said something to the extent of "Everyone in the Brewers organization shares Ryan's competitive fire and desire to win. However, I was disappointed with how he expressed himself following Sunday's game. I am going to sit down with Ryan before the game on Tuesday and express that disappointment to him directly." Yadda yadda yadda. Then after the interview, he should have told TH that would be his last public comment about the incident and let that be that. Braun was out of line with what he said, but Melvin's reaction was just piss poor managment.
  17. Yet he's still hitting .300 with a .363 on base, and would provide the Brewers with an everyday second baseman. Everything you cited sounds like a perfect player to buy low on. All of this was the same reputation he had with the Nats, and when the Cards picked him up last year he had an OPS of +.950 the rest of the way. I heard Sutton on the Dlist a few months back and Albert Puljos told Sutton that he likes Lopez and he's looking out for him. Now, that's just one guy but I'll take Puljos' opinion over a bunch of radio yakkers looking for someone to blame the D'Backs cruddy season on. I don't want the top prospects traded for him, but if the deal is right, I'd gladdly welcome him to the team
  18. Yeah, this rumor seems like some Cardinals fan's wishful thinking.
  19. There's absolutely no way that happens. Have you seen Ludwick's stats this season? The Cards couldn't get the Indians to take Ludwick straight up for DeRosa. He's not even an everyday starter in St. Louis. There's just no way.
  20. To be fair, that content is from the AP. It's the AP's error.
