    he definately did what i didn't think he would do and put a catcher in as dh to have a righty orientated lineup. Hopefully it works. I like giving Estrada the night off from behind the plate so he can catch tomorrow afternoon.
  2. patrickgpe
    i just thought someone was drunk when they did that, guess you learn something new every day. We were definitely pwned last night

    id be fine with Hart in the leadoff and TGJ 9th. Ned played the percentages yesterday and it failed miserably. The only rightly of the bench would be our backup catcher who is not DHing. It has to be Jenks, Gross, or TGJ then. I would just prefer to go with TGJ. can he be worse than counsell in the leadoff spot, i think not. Gwynn is batting 300 against lefties, and .281 against righties. Now you might say that is only in 20 at bats, which is true, but to say you will have shaking baby syndrome if he bats lead off may be a little extreme.

    thats my point russ, there is no good dh option against a lefty. My guess is that he will go with an OF of Mench, Gross or TGJ and Hart. Graffanino at 2nd. Hall DH. there is really nothing you can do, like you said but take a defensive upgrade at 3rd or CF.

    i agree that saturday's game was worst. My problem with the lineup is that it appeared that 9-1-2 were automatic outs. If you want to play Gross, Graffanino, and Counsell fine, but spread them out. Secondly Braun said after the game that he was fine to play, so his wrist was not an issue (according to 1250 this morning)
  6. patrickgpe
    hopefully Ned learns from last night and goes with a lineup similar to this 1. Gwynn CF 2. Hardy SS 3. Braun 3B 4. Fielder 1B 5. Hart RF 6. Estrada C 7. Mench LF 8. Hall DH 9. Counsell 2B doubt it though. I am sure Gross will be DH again. He will play the percentages again, which means no TGJ atleast.

    while it is clear that we didn't put out the best 9 hitters possible, you do need to tip your hat to Verlander. By the 6th, I already prepared myself for the pending no hitter, because his stuff was so good. Graffanino was taking defensive swings all game long. There were only 2 well hit balls all game that i recall. Throwing out a rookie, may not have made a difference, but i don't see the point of giving him 2 straight days off. Though you can point at Ned for throwing maybe your 2 worst hitters on the roster 1 -2. That goes against all baseball thinking. They may have been hitting the ball better of late, but why not throw out your lineup that got you 22 hits, instead of this shell of one. I don't really remember a brewers team ever changing lineups as often as Ned does this year. I really wish he would keep something and run with it.

    well i know graphics in signatures are not looked well upon here. I dont think the people here are the people thats teh problem, its the fringe fan that we need to get to spend their lunch breaks and free time voting daily.
  9. patrickgpe
    yeah he is putting on a clinic, Suppan has been OK (minus 1 pitch( but Verlander has been that much better.
  10. patrickgpe
    that lineup is pretty ugly. I know consell and graffanino has been playing better lately, but i don't like them batting next to eachother. I don't like gabe in the 9th spot. I honestly would rather see Braun DH and hit 9th. As others have said hopefully bating behind prince behind jj will get jj going. We have to get the hitters going that were going when we were consistently winning, like Jenkins, Estrada, Hardy, etc

    had a 6 pack last night and wasn't really a fan. It tastes alot like summer shandy. There is that same sprite aftertaste.
  12. patrickgpe
    i dont think there is anyway he won't be in and with a short right field porch he will be swinging out of behind
  13. patrickgpe
    they are there in the top 5, but Prince is the only one with a real chance as of now. Voting has gone better for us than i can ever remember up to this point. Steve Phillips just said on BBTN that while Prince may be a runner up to Pujols, he may be the MVP anyway. So atleast some love from that show.
  14. patrickgpe
    The latest all star updates came in tonight and Prince is only down by 47000 votes, I hope everyone on this site continues to vote 25 times a day. mlb.mlb.com/news/article....lotResults EDIT: Title. -PF

    I agree that this is a baseball website, though whats the point of discussing the election on here. I appreciate that we can discuss Milwaukee sports or current events here. On account that we couldn't even discuss the death of Jerry Falwell without it out getting out of control, the 2008 election would be ugly. I appreciate that i can discuss baseball with knowledgeable baseball fans, but whats to gained of calling people who don't agree with your political viewpoints an idiot. This is not a general discussion forum, so it Brian and the mods want to ban such a discussion, I think those that want to can find somewhere to do it.

    Pedro i would like to throw my hat in the ring as well.
  18. patrickgpe
    i would like to see teams be able to trade picks. The brewers could of moved down to get LaPorta and probably got a second round pick in it. I know it would become a mess with 50 rounds, but since every other league permits it, i don't see why baseball can't.
  19. patrickgpe
    i got the red braun replica jersey. I really like it and got alot of compliments when i wore it to the game last sunday.
  20. patrickgpe
    i think someting needs to be done to get more picks on day one. for televising it we went from usually 20 rounds on day 1 to 5. I know you can't start any earlier if you want people out west to watch. i know you can't have the rapid fire draft like in years past. maybe stretch it out to 3 days. The world draft would be nice as well and that would eliminate the posting system that we have now which doesn't allow most teams a chance to get the best international players.

    i am intrigued on the zarraga pick. anyone know how signable he is?
  22. patrickgpe
    yeah that is weird. I know its going to be a long day with having to make 45 picks. But make them. I hope we don't stop till 50.
  23. patrickgpe
    for those on facebook: join this group matt laporta is a beast
  24. patrickgpe
    i think the biggest complaint on the pick is that most of us don't know who he is and were shocked by the pick. I sure as heck was when i saw it while on a boat and following the draft on my cell. You have to trust Z on these picks. He has a favorable track record. This site would of been happy with Parker or Heyward. but that doesn't guarantee success.
  25. patrickgpe
    I've done it before, but its really a pain to keep track and cancel before you have to pay. I only enjoy the preview issues so its not worth it to me.
