    You mean one with an arm?

    And with that grand slam, David Freese is now batting .375 against the Brewers and .162 against everyone else.

    And 6 pitches in and we're losing as Holliday swings at a pitch at his ankles and gets a hit.
  4. trwi7
    6 pitches, 6 strikes, 3 outs. Hilarious.

    Should've started yesterday so the smell could waft to the Cardinals dugout.

    Had a storm today for about 30 minutes. All the geese (and their babies) were taking shelter on the island.

    Not a doctor but my brother hurt his big toe when he was younger, didn't think anything of it and got up the next day and it was really swollen. Went to the doctor and turned out it was broken. Not saying yours is but it's possible. If you don't want to pay for a doctor's visit unless it's necessary just wait a couple days to see if it gets any better. It's only a toe. If it doesn't get better they'll give you an x-ray and then if it's broken a little two hole sleeve thing that fits around your big toe and attaches to the other toe so it's stabilized. Can you take a picture? I remember what my brother's toe looked like when it was broken, so that might be something for me to go on.

    No there were more, I think I counted like 55. You said that a few ever make a difference at the MLB which would mean 5-10 (at most in my definition of the word) which I said is a load of crap and it is.
  10. trwi7
    I'd have to look through every top 100 prospect list to be sure but I'm pretty sure this statement is a load of crap. I just randomly looked at the 2006 list of top 100 prospects and I counted 41 guys who gave at least a couple of quality years of production at the MLB level in some capacity. Justin Upton Stephen Drew Chad Billingsley Justin Verlander Matt Cain Prince Fielder Francisco Liriano Howie Kendrick Alex Gordon Ryan Zimmerman Carlos Quentin Nick Markakis Jon Lester Chris Young (OF) Troy Tulowitzki Billy Butler Hanley Ramirez Carlos Gonzalez Jonathan Papelbon Homer Bailey Phil Hughes Anibal Sanchez Russell Martin Ryan Braun Andrew McCutchen Edinson Volquez Jered Weaver Jason Kubel John Danks Elvis Andrus Adam Jones Cole Hamels Gio Gonzalez Jay Bruce Dustin Pedroia Kendrys Morales Josh Johnson Ricky Romero Andre Ethier Glen Perkins Matt Kemp Several all-star players on that list as well.

    And to add Sanchez to the list. He had a 1.63 ERA last year in 71.2 innings between Huntsville and Nashville, allowed only 2 homers with 2.8 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9. I would take any of those three plus $1.5 million over K-Rod. This is all because of experience and it stinks.

    Figured the washed up retread would be called up.

    If that is the quote you are basing your statement off of that is a giant leap to make. A handful of anonymous executives being surprised Lawrie was on the market hardly means that Melvin didn't shop him around at all, which is the assertion you made. First, I doubt GM's call every single team before trading a player. Secondly, we have no idea what teams those executives represented. They could have very likely worked for teams that didn't match up personnel wise with what Doug was looking for. Not every team in the league had a Shaun Marcum type player on the market that off-season and even fewer might have had a need for someone to play second base. How is that a leap? Executives likely means GM's and some didn't know Lawrie was available. It doesn't hurt to let every GM of every team know Lawrie is available. I think it's pretty clear that that didn't happen.

    Other locations that expire in 2014 Buffalo Charlotte Durham Indianapolis (why did we leave there in the first place?) Norfolk Pawtucket Rochester Syracuse Albuquerque Colorado Springs Fresno Las Vegas Memphis New Orleans Oklahoma City Sacramento Salt Lake Tacoma Tucson I would imagine some teams won't be available due to proximity to their big league clubs (Colorado Springs, Pawtucket, Tacoma etc) and I would imagine the Brewers would want to avoid the Western PCL teams like the plague. Edit: Just read Indianapolis moved on because of losing teams.
  15. trwi7
    Do you know this as fact or is this just speculation? Unless there is some quote from Doug Melvin out there where he said "Toronto was the only team that I called about their pitching" I have a hard time believing your statement to be true. I've read on more than one occasion that Anthopoulos was after Lawrie for quite a while which means Doug had the flexibility to shop Lawrie around to other teams before circling back around to Toronto as a fallback. http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/2010/12/06/some-execs-surprised-lawrie-was-available/

    Not MLB but funny so it gets posted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Tn5Hyibpk
  17. trwi7
    I'm pissed that we didn't even shop Lawrie around and settled for an injury prone pitcher two years away from free agency.
  18. trwi7
    Segura is one of the few reasons to tune in and watch this team on a daily basis.
  19. trwi7
    He's probably a .750-.775 OPS guy at this point, Hart is better and younger, so if we wanted/needed to sign a 1st baseman, we should probably just go with the younger, better guy who has expressed interest in signing with the team again.
  20. trwi7
    Jeff Hem said he was 90-91 and only 11 of his 20 pitches were for strikes. I wouldn't bring him up.
  21. trwi7
    His job is to bring runners in, not get on base. Page 14 of the manager's handbook. Not sure if srs.........but no matter how you slice it, a guy with a .273 OBP is killing the team offensively. Whether he's hitting 8th or 4th. His job is to not make outs. I was hoping the manager's handbook comment would indicate that it was sarcasm.
  22. trwi7
    Am I supposed to be excited about those numbers?
  23. trwi7
    NBC is thrilled that the Bruins made it through though.

    Great point. Teams are always looking for bullpen help at the trade deadline and since Henderson is cheap and will be for another year or two, he'll be an attractive trade chip to contenders. Plus he has closer experience™.
