I am not saying Arod didn't use roids but whenever I see claims of muscle growth automatically linked to steroids I tend to scoff at it a bit. I know most people don't like to work out but I dont' think they understand how unremarkable that muscle gain is, especially for a top athlete. I went from a 150 pound football player as a junior to 175 pounds by my senior year without gaining an inch of height, 20 to 25 pounds of muscle isn't impossble, especially in high school or early 20's. I worked out 6 days a week for at most 2 hours at a time usually more like 90 minutes. I even got fat and out of shape during college and again at age 24 packed on 20+ pounds of muscle in less than a year all without steroids or a personal trainer. While it's true that not all muscle growth are the results of steroids, it seems reasonable to assume so in this case. The report says that as a sophomore in high school, he went from barely being able to bench press 100 pounds to benching over 300 in just 6 months. I'm not that in the know when it comes to weightlifting, but it seems extremely unlikely that a 16-year old could improve that much in that timeframe -- he tripled his max.

Scherzer is actually an alum of the Northwoods League's La Crosse Loggers...I believe he's the first Loggers player to ever get drafted in the first round and the first Loggers player to ever play in the Majors. Definitely exciting to see him go up against the Brewers for anyone who's been following him since those days. I know the folks in La Crosse develop an attachment to a lot of these guys and like to follow them through the minors.

Can we play the Pirates every day? Please? Amazing job by Yo this afternoon. Perhaps Ken Rosenthal was onto something in his preseason predictions. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thanks Woogie. I saw the mlbtv graphic extension in the IGT guide, but didn't know if you had one for a 12:05 start...the only one I saw there was 1:05, and I didn't think to try it. Thanks for the help.

Doesn't look like this game will be televised (according to MLB.com's preview), so I left out the media coverage graphic. Make it 15 in a row over the Bucs, gang.

Still waiting for one of those patented 16-for-20 Hardy hot streaks to kick in. Once he gets going, this offense will be scary, especially since it seems like Braun's locked in already.

What's happened to Ollie Perez?
crewcrazy replied to Web Jim Edmonds's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
For what it's worth, I believe Ollie is one of the pitchers who's been blaming his early-season struggles on pitching in the WBC. He pitched for Team Mexico, but I don't have the numbers on IP for him. There's been some speculation in New York that a lot of the problems are just mechanics. Paul Lo Duca was on a sports show out here, speaking from experience as he caught Perez when he was still in New York. Lo Duca proposed that Perez's herky-jerky delivery is basically a recipe for disaster when it comes to control because he'll struggle with release points and arm slots, and when he starts thinking about that stuff too much on the mound he tends to lose his precision. The New York media is actually floating the idea out there that the Mets should yank him from the starting rotation and put him in the bullpen, but that'd probably go even worse. He'd be almost Turnbow-like in that role...they're probably better off seeing if they can send him down to AAA for awhile to work out his mechanics, even if he signed a $30 million deal. -
Looks like we'll be in for another wild one. I personally can't wait to get the heck out of Houston, but hopefully the Brewers can find a way to steal one.

With a win and a Cardinals win, the Brewers will pass the Cubs in the division standings. It might be early, but let's keep climbing the standings. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Cubs DFA Luis Vizcaino and call up Jeff Samardzija
crewcrazy replied to yoshii8's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
At the risk of getting too far off topic, I decided to look it up. In 2004 it certainly appeared to be the case -- he had an ERA of 7.19 during the day and 3.86 at night. In 2005, the numbers were 6.45 and 3.89. Obviously, you're still dealing with small inning amounts and ERA isn't exactly the best barometer, but at a quick glance it definitely seems that way. As far as Vizcaino goes, I think I'd prefer to stay away. I'm comfortable with how the bullpen will look after Hoffman's return, even if he isn't the shutdown closer he used to be. Let Vizcaino get picked up by someone like the Nationals. -
I don't know if he thought it was intentional or if it was just frustration with getting hit so often during the series. It was, what, the third or fourth time this series alone? Even if it's not intentional, it gets frustrating, and Prince isn't the kind of guy who hides frustration well. Of course, we can only hope that this leads to him getting so ticked that he hits 5 HR in the next 3 games. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Awesome to take 2 of 3 from the World Champs, even if they're struggling. Hopefully this gets the team going a bit...now let's take 2 of 3 from the 'Stros and get ready to dominate at home. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
-
I don't think Fielder getting hit was intentional. Lidge seemed to really be struggling with his command that inning...wouldn't be surprised if one got away from him a bit. In the Hart at-bat he spiked a 95 mph fastball, so I wouldn't doubt it just being a mistake.
-
Yeah, Howard got me worried for a second, especially with that high camera angle on MLB.TV. Same goes with that foul ball from Werth. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
-
Every time Brian mentions something, Bill should elbow him in the ribs as hard as he can to knock the air out of him. That or whoever's producing this game needs to cut his mic every time it sounds like he's going to say it.
-
No chance, unless he pulls off a Jeter-like run and leads the Phillies to like three more World titles. His career line is .276/.332/.439...I don't see it happening.
-
His curveball is the best I've seen it since that Toronto game. When you have guys like Utley flailing at it, you know it's going.

Comcast really needs to stop showing the line score. Just an observation that doesn't really mean anything... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Apparently Raul Ibanez is Comcast's "Phillie of the Week". Whenever I see Ibanez, I can only think of two things: http://i27.tinypic.com/28akex2.jpg http://www.thefightins.com/wp-content/images_02_09/meechone/IbanezError.gif

Hamels is looking sharp so far. That changeup is as nasty as ever.
