Oh boy.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Wow

It took a really heroic effort on Stetter’s part to get sent down in favor of Zach Jack.

He's extremely quick and good.

Alright

let’s start taking bets on the first time Ned will insert DiFelice or Jackson in a situation with a leverage index above 1 (average).

7th inning tonight?

Also, cheese.

Ned being Ned

I bet Jackson will get to blow two games, and DiFelice will warm up in every game of the Boston series and not get to make his ML debut.

I liked when Chris Mabeus' parents came from Alaska

to Cincinnati or wherever the Brewers were, in hopes of seeing their kid make his big league debut, and Ned didn’t get him in a game.

He's extremely quick and good.

Are you sure it wasn't Rickie Weeks that got sent down?

That’s the rumor I’m hearing, so everyone drop him from your fantasy team.

Hearing it from roguejim?

He's extremely quick and good.

Oh I get it

You mean “recalled,” like “hey, I recall when Zach Jackson was a promising prospect.” Yeah, I recall that too.

Surely you don’t mean he’s on the major league club.

Hey, do you recall that time Zach Jackson almost hit a home run on the first pitch he saw in the big leagues?

That was pretty cool.

He's extremely quick and good.

Sheesh

It must be nice to be left-handed. I wonder how Tim Dillard feels.

You know, I was recovering from the shock of seeing Lindsay Gulin's name on Rotoworld this morning

Reading about how he just might see Milwaukee sometime this year and thinking to myself, yeah, okay, whatever. But apparently I’m the one who’s crazy. And yet Steve Hammond toils at AA.

He's extremely quick and good.

Also

Matusz > Crow

He's extremely quick and good.

that's all well and good

but can Roger Kieschnick pitch?

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on May 16, 2008 10:32 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Kieschnick...

I bet Brooks can still hit and pitch a little. Someone turn on the Kieschnick call.

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Actually

I’m broadcasting the Kieschnick call on multiple frequencies 24 hours a day. Like the folks who are sending radio signals into outer space hoping to get a reply.

Alas, I’ve gotten no response.

Also, cheese.

I run SETI@Home on like ten computers.

We should design a distributed program called SAHPA: Search for Alternate-Hand Pitching Ability

He's extremely quick and good.

But I bet he is holed up without any electronics in some Tibetan monestary perfecting the arts of pitching and hitting. I think the only way to get to him might be to send someone to find him. If I didn’t have an exam this afternoon I would volunteer to research the best method for this, I was thinking along the lines of ace venture, but I should probably at least study a little…last undergraduate exam ever.

Exactly

Dillard didn’t really look good at all last year, but he’s been pitching well this year. I don’t know if he’s changed something or if it was just the move to the bullpen, but the Brewers really should be giving him a shot. Jackson has looked pretty bad this year.

Sam Narron got promoted to Nashville

Not Steve Hammond, as I would have preferred.

He's extremely quick and good.

He can take the opportunity to ask...

Lindsay Gulin what the next five years of his career will likely be like.
