Heavy speculation that he'll be traded or allowed to leave via waivers soon. Dodgers beat reporters apparently heard him telling people to take a picture of him because he won't be around for much longer.
-
It's really a shame that Manny Ramirez might not be around for tomorrow's game. He's practically been the Brewers' MVP tonight.
-
I've actually thought Macha's bullpen management has been one of his strong suits this year. He consistently uses Axford in multi-inning, high-leverage situations. He's done a great job of trusting Zach Braddock, even after a bit of a rough start. He's used Loe to get out of some really tough jams created by the starting pitcher (and unfortunately, that's happened so much recently that he's started to wear down). His handling of Hoffman after he finally removed him from the closer's role has been very good, too. There are a lot of things to be angry with Macha about, but I don't think bullpen management is one.
-
Odorizzi started the 8th with pitch #80, for those worried about his pitch count. Very efficient so far, especially for so many K's.
-
Cain's been swinging a hot bat and Gomez has shown no ability to bunt, so I have no problem with them swinging away. Sometimes things just don't work out.
-
Yeah, the Gomez HR cut the deficit to 12. He spent the entire series hacking for that homer to try to show the Twins what they gave up on. At the time I didn't mind it because that entire series was brutal and I was just happy to see a Brewer show that he cared.
-
There was this from McCalvy at the end of January this year:
-
With the bullpen having to cover so many innings the past couple days, I can't blame Macha for keeping Parra in through the 6th at all costs. Extremely short starts from Gallardo and Narveson were part of today's problem. With that said, when you have two outs and the pitcher on deck, there's no excuse for walking a punchless slap hitter like Durango. Parra's total lack of control has been part of what's made this stretch so baffling.
-
Wow, talk about a quick hook. Might as well use McClendon for a few innings if you're thinking about adding Gomez to the roster soon.
-
Well, .260 wouldn't be a bad year if he could manage a BB% higher than 6%.
-
Clearly Cappy is the REAL ace. /2006
-
Yo's control through the first two innings is just about the worst it's been all year. The two pitches that Gonzalez and Headley hit out in the first inning were almost identical hanging curves in the exact middle of the strike zone.
-
Among the Brewers with a higher OPS+ than Feliz are Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, and Chris Narveson. Randy Wolf was only a couple ticks behind him when I looked the other day. I think Robin is right, though -- after Lopez's defensive gaffes basically cost the Cards the first game of the Brewers series, I'm sure they see defense as a bigger issue than anything at third base.
-
That and the idea that this offense could probably stand to lose Prince and not fall off all that much. They're currently 2nd in the NL in runs scored with Prince and Braun both having "off" years. Sure, they might not be a Top 3 offense anymore without Prince, but they're still likely going to be above average.
-
While Axford clearly didn't have it today and I normally would support removing a guy before the lead is blown, Hoffman's about #12,000 on the list of guys I'd want to see called upon in this spot. Need someone who can get a strikeout, with the way the defense has been playing this inning.
-
That pitch pretty clearly hit the bat, and not Ryan. Doesn't stop him from acting like it hit, him, though. Don't know how the ump could've missed that, the sound was so obvious.
-
I would say Braun would be a no-brainer for Cardinal fans, but then does Holliday move to right? EDIT: I'm assuming that's why they didn't include Fielder, because his position is taken. I bet Braun finishes last in that poll, and it has nothing to do with on-field production.
-
It sure didn't look like she was, which is odd, because in TV everyone wears the makeup (yeah, even the guys) to cut down on any glare you might get from all the lights. I was more fixated on her inability to read a teleprompter, though.
-
I'd like to see the Brewers kick the tires, but I don't know how much interest he'd have in the Brewers organization. Houston is said to be interested, and he's from the area, so it seems like he'd more than likely enter their system if they feel he's healthy.

Francisco Rodriguez arrested for assault of family member
crewcrazy replied to DannoMac21's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is what the Mets are trying to get out of, if anyone's curious: 2010: Rest of his $11.5 million 2011: $11.5 million 2012: $17.5 million option that vests if he finishes 55 games in 2011 or 100 games finished from 2010 to 2011. Can't blame the Mets for slightly blowing this out of proportion and trying to get out of the contract. What a toxic organization to be a fan of right now, though. -
While AW continues to be brutal, Tom H. was on fire last night when it came to the Covey news. Kudos to him...he continues to be very good when he's breaking news.
-
The classy thing to do would be to just lay down in these two games and let the much-more-worthy Cardinals continue their hunt for a division title.
-
Haudricourt tweets that it was a Covey family decision to not sign:
-
Covey's commitment to San Diego wasn't seen as ironclad. When he got drafted, all comments from his camp were about how he wanted to start his pro career, and up until this hour, everyone in the know seemed to think a deal was going to get done. This really came out of the blue...I really don't think the front office is to blame here.
-
Bummer. By no means an easy play for Rickie, but it really would've been nice if he was just able to keep it in front of him. I guess this doesn't sting as much considering they had no business being in a tie game to begin with, but it still stinks. Good riddance to Coors Field for the season.
