good job ***Scoop
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
Actually, miscommunication
So it’s mainly my fault.

Yeah.
There’s pretty much no way he’s under 270.

Damn!

Super Cold
Up in TR 1st base side. It was nice in the sun tailgaiting, but was far to cold up in the wind. Worst part was I didn’t bring my sweatshirt.
My wife made fun of me for grabbing a fleece on the way out the door...

Yovani
40 pitches through 2.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Well if he pitches a few more innings like the first one
He can probably get through 6-7 innings total

I don't know
But the Reds are 0-for-8 when they strike out.

A Kendall AB always makes me appreciate a big inning more.
You see, big innings would never happen if everyone sucked as much as Kendall.

Baseball didn't have a dead ball era.
It just had a period where everyone hit like Jason Kendall.

Why would you pinch hit for Yovani?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
So, I haven't been able to watch the game until now
I did hear Gallardo go 2-0 on everyone and his mother, though. What’s going on? Tight zone? Seems like he’s getting a lot up, too; is he?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Couldn't say for sure
As I’m just listening. :-)
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Tying run at the plate
Stetter is ready to come in. Time to make the change?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Macha says so, anyway.
Double switch, Hall in to play third.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Poor Gamel

Um, run doesn't score?
Okay.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
wow
why is that dude still on third?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."

I need to leave in a few minutes for more wedding stuff.
Can you do the recap today?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Actually, no
I have to leave in about half an hour.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Ok.
I guess it’ll have to wait until I get back to it, then.

"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Even though it would be fun to see,
let’s score another run or two so Hoffman doesn’t have to pitch on his bobble day.
Who foresaw Owings going more than an inning longer than Gallardo today?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
I thought Owings only went 5.2?
Gallardo had 5.1
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Yeah, math fail
I’m trying to build a garden in my mind.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
math
is on our side
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
That sounds pretty mysterious, eh?

A bit.

But now how will we argue that he's better than Pujols?

from baseball to hot dog eating
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Phillips sure falls down a lot

he gets knocked down
but he gets up again
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Stetter faced five batters, right?
If so, this outing is tied for his second longest of the season.
He faced seven batters on 5/5, when he went 1.1 innings and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Hey guys
stop the little league plays
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
nice
was Prince playing 1st?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
44594 fans in attendance
Not bad.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
There is a distinct top 9 for attendance this year
The Brewers are part of that group at 9th at the moment but there is a reasonable chance that they could end up ahead of Boston by the end of the season. It is bodes well for the team to remain competitive if they can keep people coming to the games.
Pretty solidly in ninth too
The next closest is the Giants, but they average more than 3000 fewer a game

The bullpen
has been really, really impressive. Julio excluded. But as I recall he hasn’t been too bad lately. Someone should do a “best bullpen in MLB” post. Not me, of course. I’m not qualified to do that kind of thing…
