Another leadoff double. The Crew is sure to score now!
-
I'm not worried. The Brewers great offense will figure out a way to get at least 1 run out of this game.
-
Everyone invoved in this game should just count themsleves lucky if this thing ends and nobody is killed at or behind the plate. Just one of those days for the catchers, umps and hitters.
-
I don't know if it's impressive or simply indicative of our collective mindeset as Brewer fans that I logged in to make a smart comment about the Cordero debacle and it had already been mentioned in the first few posts of the thread.

I was wondering Is Braun playing Hurt?
pebadger replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Clearly he doesn't care and he's just collecting a paycheck, just like Suppan was and Hoffman is. Stuff happens, and even the greatest performers of a given skill don't always understand the what/why/how of what they do. The injury could be a factor in the current struggles, to a degree large or small. Maybe it isn't. The team's results don't seem to be affected too much by Braun not hitting. I'm guessing that if he gets back in 320/330 range with his average they still won't be within shouting distance of .500. -
Gomez speed was key, but I can't help but think that this was a fitting end to this series between these two teams.
-
Not catching the ball is becoming a real problem. Should have had an out at third last night, too.
-
At this point I'm willing to settle for fewer than 5 HR allowed in 4 2/3. If that continues Society Insurance will be forced to run a Hard Hats for the Bleachers promotion. Innovative Safety Program!

Parra Replaces Bush in Rotation Sunday; Bush "not pleased"
pebadger replied to Funketown's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's fair to blame Macha for the aggregate pitch counts to a degree, but I'm guessing more of that falls on the pitchers who either cannot throw strikes or who don't throw strikes. Th numbers logan posted are interesting. Have to wonder if the difference in marginal "success" rates between hitters and pitchers in the same general categories has more to do with the differences between players across categories or the accuracy of the categorization by scouts and others doing those types of evaluations. -
The best part was actually having folks wearing Brewer gear sitting right behind teh plate.
-
Maybe the Crew should have kept Suppan as a hitter.
-
The long journey begins with a small step. Heck, why make it more than it is. Now let's get the Cubs Miller Park monkey off our backs.
-
Nice job Bushie and Loe. Gotta love the Xerox commercial. I'm tired of this meeting and want to go home. I've got it! Let's destroy the economic lives of a large number of our employees buy canning them and hriing Xerox!
-
Bush flips a frisbee up there at some point in ths AB? What are the odds? Idea for a running gimmick at Miller Park: Somebody bust out the old Milwaukee Braves gear, beat a drum and start a "rain dance" as soon as the Brewers are ahead after 4.5 complete. The existence of the roof only amplifies the point being made. No more racist than the mere existence of the Washington Redskins.
-
Add the qualifier " down by less than four runs" and I'll jump right on board. Me and this season's Brewers are starting to resemble an abusive relationship. I miss having them on this afternoon and am looking forward to the idea of them being on tonight, but I'm apprehensive about the whole thing at the same time.
-
That's about as well as the non-Gallardo Brewers can pitch. When they aren't winning games like this it's hard to imagine them getting anywhere close to .500 at any point forward in this season.
-
What's more frustrating? Popping up a bunt for an out, or successfully bunting the guy over, then failing to get the runner in? It seems like those are the only two paths on the Brewers flow chart. If anything, this knowledge renders the bunt failure is less infuriating.
-
Is the lack of commenting indicative of a reluctance to jinx this thing? Sorry if this is the one that does it. Certainly one of the top 4 or 5 games of the year so far.

If you believe it to be true, then you should be able to define what those qualities are that led you to that conclusion. And if you can define the qualities, they can be objectively tested. Maybe one day someone with the time, data and mathematical insight will be able to write it down on paper. That said, because an idea has not yet been put in a properly testable form does not mean that it is not so (though of course it also means that everyone is free to dispute the efficacy of the idea). Much of what we now see to be oh-so-simple in our world was made so only through the insight of people we now recognize to be of the genius catagory. Even with as much as we know, both in terms of investigative technique and the ultimate conclusions that can be derived from investigation, we don't know everything. I think there is a danger that we may sometimes become too complacent with the advances that we have made and that we may allow the huge amount of data we do have in front of us to blind us to the fact that perhaps we are missing more.

Well, at least BA and Rock needling the classy Cards a bit. Almost made this worth watching.

Do any of the stats sites have a comparison of teams run scoring distribution and the variance in their runs scored? Frankly, I don't think the Brewers offense is all that good. They have the potential to be explosive, but they are not at all consistent. I'd also like to know which teams struggle worse offensively than the Brewers do against the better quality pitchers. I know all the statistical justifications for characterizing baseball as more of an individual sport than a team sport, but I firmly beleive that there are as yet unquantifiable synergies that derive from the better integrated collections of individuals that we call a "team". I don't think this year's Brewers have any of that. Wil be intersting to see if anythingn like that develops at all, or if the team drifts farther into a "Royals hoping to be Yankes or anything else" sort of mojo. I'm sort of getting that sense already. Now what? The World Cup starts in a week, and by the time it ends maybe things will have changed enough that I can get excited about watching the Brewers again. If not, it's not that long a wait until the fall seasons start cranking up.

I went to dental school with Manny.
-
I'm perturbed, wish Joyce would have gotten it right, but do not want the call overturned. Whatever happened, happened. I can live with baseball expanding instant replay, but my gut reaction is that they will initially get it wrong when/if they do. Baseball is just too dynamic in terms of continuous action when the ball is in play to come up with any kind of really good, comprehensive system on the first time through.
-
Yeah, anybody who was questioning Hardy's defense (and there were some) has to know that they were likely wrong when a team constructed like the Twins trades for JJ to be their number 1 guy at a position like shortstop Always thought JJ was a much better organizational fit over there than Gomez was in Milwaukee (which is not to comment on either's general value as a player).
-
I give Josh Johnson full credit. But at some point, if you're going to win games and win series, you have to beat the Josh Johnsons of teh world or find a way to touch up the pen after he's gone. Need Braunie to come through huge here. Seems like it's been too long.
