BRRROK!!!

More crappy pitching and defense. Rosario, the starting pitcher, made two of the four errors, but he was actually initially charged with three before the scorer changed his mind and gave on to Robulack, the first baseman, instead.

Light schedule all around the minors yesterday. One name did stick out for me, Damon Krestalude. Is he considered a prospect? I saw a quick and dirty scouting report on the intertubes that said his fastball velocity is around 87 and his curve is a plus pitch. I just picked up on him because I think his name is pretty cool but the scouting report made it sound like he might worth something.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

From Brewerfan
Krestalude is a tall, projectable pitcher with a very good frame that is expected to put on 15-20 pounds as he continues to fill out his frame. He has a nice and easy delivery that leads many to believe he will only continue to add velocity to his fastball which currently sits in the upper-80s. Both his curveball and his changeup are nice pitches at this stage in his development, giving him a very nice body of work to build on.

He’s probably the pitching MVP of the Baby Brewers at this point, sadly. Man, that team is terrible. Anyway, he’ll be one to watch for sure next year.

Baby Brewers

It seems as if the Arizona Rookie League team is always terrible. Since the Brewers went back there in 2001 the franchise has never had a winning season and is a composite 157-234 in seven years. Last season they finished 19-37.

Yeah, they're always bad

They seem particularly embarrassing this year, though.

Last year

their problem appeared to be throwing strikes. If I remember correctly just about everyone on the staff averaged 5 or 6 walks per 9 innings. This year it sounds like no one can catch the ball.

good memory

K/BB for the AZL Brewers pitchers last year: 392/383. Holy crap. No other team even had half as many walks as strikeouts.

Check out Santo Manzanillo’s 2006 season.

Thanks, was wondering if he has the ability to add velocity and if he’s working on that now.

Seth Lintz debuted today: one scoreless inning with a hit, a walk, and a strikeout.

Scarpetta was dominant, 5 K's in 2 IP

Second career appearance for him. Hitaniel Arias, jealous of the attention paid lately to Erik Komatsu, hit his second career homer also.

Neglecting to mention the inside-the-park home run bunt?!?!111?!!111?!

No wonder you’re only a marginally deserving all-star..

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

I hate when people call plays like that inside-the-park homers

There were two errors.

And they actually won the game!

Scarpetta got the W.

Now that it's over, how will you remember the Brewers' season?
  • A rousing success. They made the playoffs, something they hadn't done since before many bloggers here were born.
  • Mostly satisfying. If you'd told me 90 wins and a playoff berth at the beginning of the year, I'd have taken it, but the limp the finish took some of the sparkle off.
  • Great on its own, but downgraded after accouting for context; with Sabathia and Sheets most likely having thrown their last pitch for the team, the Brewers may have blown their golden opportunity.
  • I'm left feeling unfulfilled. I think the team was capable of a lot more than it showed. With a healthy Sheets, who knows how far they go?
  • They're the crappiest bunch of crap that ever crapped.
