  1. Intentionally walking Reyes to get to Castillo? Oof.
  2. For as good as the home plate umpire's strike zone was last night. The guy tonight has been terrible.
  3. John Axford tonight = http://www.rememberwaybackwhen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/dastardly-whiplash.jpg
  4. Escobar and Gomez walking in the same game. Over/under on that going into the season was probably 0.5.
  5. Why are we intentionally walking Jeff Francoeur? Is Macha really that stupid?
  6. I will continue to profess my man love for George Kottaras.
  7. Raise that trade value, Corey. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  8. 10-17 Tiebreaker: 2 + 2 +3 = 7
  9. Apparently Ken Macha read my post in the lineup thread on the major league forum. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  10. Well, at least it will be excited to follow the pitching from Huntsville on down tonight.
  11. Some of you may not like Haudricourt, but as long as he keeps churning out tweets like this, I'll be a fan.
  12. Sending Estrada down doesn't do anything. We need to create a spot on the 40 man for Capuano.
  13. I couldn't tell either. The camera angle had me excited, but how many times in the past couple of years have we been screwed where the camera makes it look like it's going out only to have it be caught at the warning track.
  14. This was the Yo I fell in love with as a rookie. Keeping the pitch count down, not walking guys and maintaining a good strikeout rate. He has the stuff to throw strikes and not have to nibble and he did that tonight. He needs to keep doing it.
  15. I agree. He's been fantastic. COREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A WIN FOR YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Is it safe to call Frederickson a wasted pick yet? 3 hits, 2 walks and didn't record an out. That's now 28 walks this year in a little over 15 innings.
  17. Lefties hit better off of Santana in his career because his changeup runs right into the sweet spot for most lefties.
  18. Link A couple of questions for you, colby. 1. Have you heard anything about the Brewers being linked to Sale? 2. Do you think there's any chance he drops to 14? I guess I just don't see it, but I figured you would know more than me. I know his mechanics aren't the greatest, but you have to think if a lefty who throws in the low 90s with a good changeup and the kind of results Sale has had that the Brewers would take him and more likely, some team picking before the Brewers would take him.
  19. True, but then nobody can say "we had to throw in Cruz because we couldn't get a year and a half of Cordero for just a half year of Lee without adding something." That's one of the main arguments I've seen as to why that trade wasn't bad. So the fact that the Rangers were willing to expose Cruz to waivers obviously means they didn't think too highly of him at the time meaning that we really didn't have to add Cruz. And we shouldn't have considering the numbers he put up without us even giving him a chance at the major league level. And I still contend that trading Lee for a reliever wasn't a good deal no matter how you look at it. If that's the best you can get for Lee, just keep him and take the picks.
  20. Morlan pitches his first inning for the Stars and gives up a run on two hits.
  21. Under, though still not worth $8 million. Around 4, but not worth a two year, $7.5 million deal. Under, probably around 4.75. Over. 4.3-4.5. Slightly under to push.
  22. We had a solid pitcher in our organization and we traded him for an old utility infielder. How is that not a loss? If we trade Manny Parra to the D'Backs for Augie Ojeda but Parra breaks through with the Tigers instead of the D'Backs, does that make the trade any better? No, it was still a bad trade because you traded what turned out to be a productive, young, hard throwing pitcher for an old utility infielder. Maybe it's just because I place almost no value in relievers at all that I don't like that trade. I mean he gave us 90 innings. Is that something we're going to celebrate? And the Cruz thing goes back to the DLR thing. So just because every other team (including the Brewers again) made a mistake by not claiming him, that somehow makes the trade better? No. We gave up an all-star outfielder as a throw-in to get a closer for 1.5 years (and thank goodness it was only for that long or we would be looking at another huge contract for a reliever) and two bad outfielders. Sorry, that's not a good deal.
  23. I don't see this. He won the Sexson trade, the Franklin for Villanueva trade, the future considerations for Branyan trade, the Podsednik for Lee trade, the Koskie trade, the Shouse trade and the Sabathia trade (although you could probably put this in the to be determined category depending on what LaPorta, Bryson, Brantley and our picks do) and the Torres trade. He's lost the JDLR for Graffanino trade, the Lee/Cordero trade, the Davis/Estrada trade, the McClung/Balfour trade and the Lopez trade. Still to be determined is the Linebrink trade (though I and many others didn't like that one). The David Weathers trade was kind of stupid. The Hardy/Gomez trade. Everything else was basically crap for crap.
