I remember that Okha game, now that you mention it. Always liked that guy. Remember when he ran the Sausage Race.
-
Nice play by Prince to get out of that. (Big believer in positive reinforcement).
-
What the?!?
-
Sombody just won huge on the first GS pool. And they aren't even splitting the pot.
-
I have to ask CO. Did you actually see the play that McGehee scored on? I'm all for being aggressive, but that was akin to Andorra declaring war on France. And Spain. Simultaneously.
-
We should just make the best of this and start a Yuni drinking game. The rules practically write themselves.
-
That was as long a bomb on such an easy swing as you'll ever see.
-
Except that didn't appear to be a called play. If it was, it was a very poorly executed by Casey. It was just bad baseball, all the way around. Somebody had to "win" on the play and the Brewers won the coin toss.
-
Boy this ump's zone is tight. Lots of very solid strikes called balls so far. How Casey was safe on that, or why he was even running, I have no idea.
-
Boo hoo. It's a day game. Catch teh ball. And nice hustle from C Hart in right backing up that play. Shouldn't he be in shallow anyway in this situation?
-
With any kind of bench option, Cory should take up PH duty tomorrow. Unacceptable.
-
Without waking up screaming and drenched in sweat? Zero.
-
I'm not even that worried about the hitting. Even if you think Kotsay is marginally better offensively (and I don't), the defensive tandem of Morgan and Gomez is so far superior as to make the offensive dimension of the argument moot.
-
Thought the same thing yesterday, endaround. No real reason not to put Gomez in CF and Morgan in LF.

Greinke: someone talk me off the ledge
pebadger replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't think he's tipping his pitches. I he's just been scouted well and guys are waiting on certain pitches. then they are driving them. There was a comment earlier about most mistakes not being hit and ZG was just unfortunte in that regard. While the first part true, if you're looking for a pitch that is a mistake, as opposed to seeing a mistake and then trying to hit it as you realize it, I think you have a much better chance of driving the ball. If anything, Greinke is just not "effectively wild" enough with his mistakes. I don't think he's surprising anyone, so when he misses he misses in a pretty defined zone in which hitters can feast. I don't beleive it just bad luck repeating in the Chicago, New York and Minny starts, at least to the extent that we can significantly attribute his results to the "luck" component of the equation. What happened in each of those games was very similar to what happened in the others. Guys with talent get the benefit of the doubt, but he's just very hittable right now. -
There was no way they were putting Braun in today. I'm 99.9% confident the streak had zero to do with it. I guess the only solace I have is knowing that statistically we have nothing to worry about with Greinke and the road thing is just unhappy coincidence.
-
Don't feel bad, Casey. Perkins was nasty and you had a better AB than the big man.
-
Small sample size, but Fukushima has 1 shutdown and 2 meltdowns.
-
To be fair, I don't think the ideaa was for Bill to give a dissertation on all the possible permutations of a given plate appearance. The simple question, on its face, was to ask whether you can lose your streak if you make a plate appearance. Yes, you can lose your streak if you make an appearance and don't get a hit. You also might not lose your streak if you don't get a hit. But if the possible outcomes are hit/no hit, yes, you lose your streak on the latter.
-
They are near the top in the NL Central because they are in the NL Central. Toronto would be near the top of the NL Central. So would Baltimore. The Angels. The Mets. The Nats. The Rockies. I don't know that the Brewers are a playoff contender in any division other than the NL Central.
-
I don't want the team to perform to expectations. The goal in life is to exceed others expectations, and more rewardingly, your own.
-
Greinke can be upset all he wants, but only to the extent that he can be professional enough to not let it affect the way he pitches. Anything else is just "woe is me" whining. If things happen and it's not your fault, people will recognize that soon enough on their own. His job is to take care of what he can take care of.
-
It's a good thing him that Craig Counsell is not a horse.
-
His peripherals are great. It's good thing, because peripheral vision is the only way he can see most of those balls flying out of the infield at supersonic speeds.
-
This was completely expected.
