Yes he should, that doesn't mean he can and RRR has to realize that. RRR also has to realize that when the corner infielders come crashing in on a bunt you have to change your strategy. You have to tell him after the first pitch that he has to show bunt and then pull the bat back to give the Cardinals doubt as to whether or not he's actually going to bunt so they don't come crashing in towards the plate. Even if he pulls the bat back as the pitcher is in the wind up, that puts doubt in the minds of the infielders and LaRussa as to whether or not he's going to bunt. That should cause the corner infielders to play back more giving Yuni more leeway for the bunt so it just has to be decent to good instead of perfect.
  2. Once again, after the first pitch and how the Cards were selling all out for the sacrifice bunt, I'm not sure how it was the right decision. At that point you just have him show bunt to draw the infielders in again and then let him swing. Even one of his patented pop ups to the right side has a chance to fall for a hit the way they were playing.
  3. He should get the start on Thursday. He's the only one who's ever faced Dickson.
  4. I just wish our manager was smart enough to not play him. And since he's not I wish Melvin would stop combing his mustache and DFA him.
  5. Not when the Cardinals were basically standing on top of Betancourt by the time the pitch reached home plate.
  6. Good thing we got the gritty vet who specializes in grounding out to 2nd here.
  7. That is just awful. Why are you bunting there with the infielders that close?
  8. I think the main point should be that he shouldn't have had to turn two.
  9. Movies? He's already thinking about Los Angeles. Pretty obvious where he's signing now.
  10. More innings like the 1st inning though. Lots of hard hit balls in the 2nd.
  11. Suggestion to change our name from Brewers to Tin Men.

I've got to think that this is some type of publicity stunt. I haven't noticed her for too long, and I'm assuming you don't just waltz into seats like that- not to mention the enormous cost (even for one seat). She has a single season ticket because she wants to keep score and pay attention to the game which she couldn't do if she didn't go by herself. Plus, she drives from Oshkosh. I'd say she's pretty hardcore. I don't know why she'd do it just for publicity.

Menace II Sobriety wrote: I think that Melvins' main point was that signing early can get you to the big leagues and the big money quicker And if Melvin thinks this he is completely wrong, especially with pitchers. The flame out rate is too high to not get every penny you can in a signing bonus. If that means you start your professional career a couple months late, so be it.
  14. That 6 weeks isn't important at all if they stick him in Helena or Wisconsin. Even the 6 weeks in the bullpen in Huntsville or Nashville would be almost meaningless. Also, why would they waste a 40 man roster spot on a player they just drafted when it's not necessary?
  15. Polish Falcons wrote: Does anybody know around what is the ratio of Cubs fans to Brewers fans at Miller Park for this series? I used to hate it when it was like 50/50 or worse but imagine now there are far less Cubs fans. Hopefully when the Brewers play at Wrigley it will be 50% brewer fans there. Just from the sound of the crowd it sounds like at least 85/15 Brewers.

There should be a list of things at the top. If you go two to the left of the smilies there should be a square with what looks like a little picture inside, click on that and then click on add from URL and then a little box will pop up and then you just paste the URL in there.
  17. Anyone look at the yahoo standings? They have the magic number next to the Brewers in the standings.
  18. You have no...marbles! http://www.slamonline.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sam_cassell.jpg
  19. Why the hell is Hawkins throwing anything other than breaking stuff to Soriano?
  20. Hoping for a Taylor Green pinch hit appearance.
