Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Thursday Open Thread

Brewers are off, but Cubs and Cards are in action.

At the moment, the Cards and Tigers are tied at 1 after seven complete, and the Cubs are down 5-0 to the Orioles after three.  (Hey, that's only 5 Geovany Soto RBIs from a tie game!)

7-0 now

That is going to be a lot of Soto RBIs but it is still possible. Really wanting the cards to lose though.

Gameday

Weird. The batter designs at first made me wonder if it was early advertising for the LLWS or something.

Marquis

His ERA is now above Dave Bush’s. That’s got to be a blow to the ego.

Cards take the lead

Pujols went 4-4 with a walk in his first game back.

He's extremely quick and good.

Yeah, Jake Arrieta too

The Brewers drafted him in 2005, but he didn’t sign.

He's extremely quick and good.

Nothing like a kid born in the 90's making the World team

to make you feel old.

Hold on

He’s an extreme case. He won’t even be 18 at the game.

by Hyatt on Jun 26, 2008 3:53 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He is there though

and even without him the birth years of just about every other player are starting to get pretty damn close.

The Cubs are beating the Brewers

The Arizona versions, anyway. Arias with his first professional XBH.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jun 26, 2008 3:13 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Haha

What I didn’t notice about Arias’ double is that he got thrown out at third: “Outfield assists: Willis (Arias at 3rd base).”

He's extremely quick and good.

He really does love Milwaukee

after all!

Cardinals lose on a walk-off walk

I’ve been waiting to use this:

Cubs

So much for the Soto RBI’s. Blanco pitch hit for him and picked up one.

Does anybody else get nervous

whenever the Cubs put a runner on, thinking its the beginning of a 12 run rally?

by Getting Yosted on Jun 26, 2008 4:43 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

a bit..

But that’s starting to fade as the Cubs show some weakness. I’m more concerned about us at the metrodome.

by SgtClueLs on Jun 26, 2008 4:44 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm not concerned

For those concerned about Prince’s weight, I hear he is on a new diet. It consist entirely of hitting in the park home runs. I hear he will start phase 2 this weekend.

Hey Jeff

Just wondering if you were still planning on bringing back the list of links to related brewers and other quality baseball sites around the wide world of web.

Michael Brantley

He left Huntsville’s game tonight with a leg injury after stealing second.

He's extremely quick and good.

Good day

the team in first in the division, in front of us in the WC, and in back of us in the WC (Marlins) all lost.

Gagne

had to be pulled before he finished the first inning. A couple of hits, a walk, and a wild pitch, he got two outs on 29 pitches before they brought in Choate.

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

by Jordan M on Jun 26, 2008 9:10 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

what's the "rule"

on length of rehab assignments? Can we just keep him there the rest of the season, please?

by MadJimiBrewha on Jun 26, 2008 9:11 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think they get two weeks

This was supposed to be his last one, but they almost have to give him another inning.

Right?

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

by Jordan M on Jun 26, 2008 9:15 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i think it's 30 days, actually

I know it’s 30 days for rule 5 picks.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Jun 26, 2008 9:15 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You're right:
According to the Rules, players on a Disabled List “may be assigned to a Minor League Club for the purpose of injury rehabilitation for a maximum of 20 days in the case of non-pitchers and 30 days in the case of pitchers.”

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

by Jordan M on Jun 26, 2008 9:18 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

His performance has been of the rule 5 quality

so I think we should get to treat him as such.

as it happens...

Choate also ended up throwing 29 pitches, but he managed to get through 2.1 innings with that. No hits, no walks, 1 K.

I can’t say I’m particularly excited, but I guess the Stetter/Choate roster swap can’t be far away…

by Zeyes on Jun 26, 2008 10:29 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I hope

we don’t see Gagne on the big boy team for the rest of the year

I think he's joining the team in Minne-haha land

Could be there right now. Not sure how you can suck at AAA and somehow be trusted in important games. I’m hoping Melvin realizes he just blew it, claim that Gagne has some season ending injury and be done with it.

by ol Pete on Jun 26, 2008 11:07 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Heh

One of two outings coming back from injury is enough to say he sucks at AAA, huh? Pretty quick hook there. I hope he spends more time in Nashville, but I wouldn’t say he sucks at AAA.

by TheJay on Jun 27, 2008 12:31 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you're right

I’m saying, that if he does suck, I hope it doesn’t turn into one of those protracted Turnbow sagas. When I watch him, he seems to have all the ability necessary to be a really good closer. I’m still hopeful. But if he is broken mentally or whatever the hell happened that he can’t go out there and compete, forget him and move on.

Another ESPN blurb on Sabathia

This time from Jayson Starks:

Here at World Rumblings Headquarters, we’re hearing the same noises that our buddy Buster Olney has been hearing—that the Brewers loom as one of the most serious potential bidders on Sabathia, even if he’s just a rent-a-starter. The Brewers have a deep system. And principal owner Mark Attanasio has made it clear to his baseball operation that it’s time to go for it. So if Sabathia winds up somewhere other than Milwaukee, said one baseball man who has spoken with GM Doug Melvin, “it won’t be because they’re afraid to give up their prospects.”

He's extremely quick and good.

will Prince

feel threatened that there would be a bigger eater in the clubhouse?
