Stan Kyles
Nashville’s pitching coach for the past few years.

Hey, I heard it's Stan Kyles
Not sure about that one, though.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
really?!
stan kyles is black?
I think I automatically imagine all minor league coaches, especially pitching coaches, as looking like all scouts. both are all (in my head) 45-55 year old white guys, still trying to look athletic, but getting a little pudgy.
Also, cheese.

After looking at the Brewers chain
I figure all minor league hitting coaches are failed minor league infielders.

Gamel added a double just for good measure
He’s only hitting .727.

Thanks Billy...

you clearly don’t know me at all.

I hope mountain man can keep it up in the 6th and 7th
He’s been notorious for blowing up during those innings.
Red Alert
I’ve been watching him long enough to know when Bush needs to get pulled, why doesn’t the manager…?
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
You've been watching Bush a lot longer than the manager
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
Some guy at the game told me that Macha is the wrong manager for the job
I was like, at least wait a month before passing judgement.
He wouldn’t give me a reason why.
oh lawd.
let’s see these base runners get held.

when is baseball going to have replay that actually reviews calls that matter
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
he did, it beat him. thats all that matters
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
Hell
They can’t even show replays of close calls on the scoreboard at games. Its in the Umpire’s Union contract with MLB.

by Dikembe Meiztombo on Apr 11, 2009 8:15 PM CDT up reply actions
that's retarded
how hard would it be to put it up and show the call was wrong and change it
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
i may be a union man
but i wonder what it’d take to get some scab umpires
by sowingwildoats on Apr 11, 2009 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions
wouldn't take much
but if you’ve seen many minor league & college games, you’ll know that the quality of the officiating would go WAY down, far enough that it wouldn’t be a good trade-off for accepting more replay/review stuff.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on Apr 11, 2009 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe if we buy enough stuff from Joe West
We can influence his direction of the umpires union.

I understand why they brought Bush back out, on 83 pitches...
… but that was incredibly predictable.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Apr 11, 2009 8:16 PM CDT reply actions
in reality
it could have been much, much worse though.
by sowingwildoats on Apr 11, 2009 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions
in reality they didn't score a run
"Cubs fans boo again – 99% of these people can’t see the plate." -Ueck
I'm even okay with sending him back out...
but waiting with the hook until three baserunners have reached was a wee bit too much.
Not even that
He got to face Hoffpauir, too. Sure, he struck him out, but still.

We always knew he gets to kiss his sister after a homerun
But does she let him feel her up if he walks, thisyear?
Corey appears to have icepicked the portion of his brain that urges him to swing at sliders

Gameday makes it look like none of the pitches were close
so it may have been one of those unintentional-intentional walks

Is anyone watching the Frozen Four. Boston down 3-1 with 3 min left empty net and scored 2 goals, last one with 30sec or so left.

Faster than writing it out.
Also, you can’t predict when streaks start and end if you haven’t figured that out already. It took me like 4 posts to point that out when we could’ve just watched this week.

I would take advantage of that deal if they weren't so disgusting.
I’d rather eat a McDonald’s burger.
Brian and Bill too polite to outright say it...
Willie Randolph must be happy to be on the other end of a bullpen implosion involving Heilman.

What exactly happened?
I think they were so screwed up they broke gameday…

Ball was in the dirt and both Fielder and Hardy broke initially
Fielder went back. Hardy didn’t.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
I approve of DiFelice getting another inning.
Of course, that’s partially on Bush for making the last batting out of the 6th inning, but still…
Well that was a different kind of home run
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
It didn't even make it into the crowd
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
They should just have RJ Swindle on the team
and keep 2 Lefties. That way you don’t have to worry about saving one:)
