Brewers on ESPN
I feel like they’ve been nationally televised more this year than they have in the last 10 years combined. guess that’s what happens when you make the playoffs (unless you’re the Bucks)
McGehee
Why drop Casey from leadoff? He’s hitting like crazy, let’s see if he can keep it up rather than going with Counsel. I like that Corey is batting behind Prince though.
"You combine the fact that they're good at everything and we're good at nothing, it's not going to be a very pretty outcome." -Ryan Braun
feels like a lifetime
since we saw this kind of start to a game.

Woo hoo!
Nice jack by Braun. Maybe this will be the momentum shift to get us on a roll again!
As I type…PRINCE! Let’s hope that this continues.

i wouldnt mind
tearing through their bullpen and tire them out for the series…
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
Boy for once the ESPN guys are sucking up to the Brewers
and Milwaukee in general. They are saying that Milwaukee has some of the best fans. The clubhouse is nice and cool. The guys are awesome. Etc.
What’s got into them? I’m worried…

Well this is a pleasant surprise.
JUST got home from driving back from the NASCAR race in Michigan to see Braun’s home run.
Good sign?
Go brewers!
this is on ESPN, right? I might have to find an excuse to go home early and go to a sportsbar or hang out in the weight room
Cliff Lee
Anyone see him in Brewer Blue this season?

I really hope so
Or Bedard, or someone. The Brewers really need an outside-the-club option to bring into the rotation. Apparently they’re ruling out giving Parra a shot on June 27th. Dillard is better in AAA and McClung is better out of the pen IMO.
by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 6:24 PM CDT up reply actions
I think it is the brewers best option
He is likely the best SP on the market, now that Peavy is down. I truly think that Melvin has to make a move for this guy or someone of equal caliber. I like them as much as the rest of us, but Looper, Bush, and Suppan are not going to lead us to the promised land. Another stellar SP is a must if the brewers want to make the playoffs, and beyond
I actually think
Suppan is an average pitcher. You never know what you’re going to get. He could blow up or give you 6 solid innings. But it’ll all average out and he’ll be around .500.
Bush and Looper are above average pitchers. They are both solid, throw strikes, and keep the team in the game more often than not. Gallardo is a solid #1.
It would be nice to have a 1-a and 1-b like last year (Sabathia and Sheets) or even a nice #2. I see Bush and Looper as 3-4 type pitchers and Suppan is just an innings eater at the back end.
I agree though, they really need to make a deal. Unfortunately I think this time it may require one of our big league players. I just hope it doesn’t mess up the chemistry.

just as i was reading
that soup was an avg. pitcher he throws a cake down their throats… lame.
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
true
I still think he’s above average though. That doesn’t change the fact we need to trade for a pitcher.
by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 6:31 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think they need a bat to replace weeks
They have enough infielders. McGehee has proved he deserves a shot. Counsell has been solid. We have Gamel and Hall.
Pitchers are more important. You can win with a serviceable backup at second. You can’t win with 4 starting pitchers and an automatic loss every 5 games.
by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 6:34 PM CDT up reply actions
that what i thought
with how well mcgehee has played and with as poorly as parra has pitched it shows that an everyday player can be replaced easier from within
depends
Id rather get Lee if its not a half season rental. Whats he got left on his contract? Two years with him and YoGa to top a rotation would be nice.
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
You get Lee if
a) The Indians look so effed up that they don’t think they can contend in 2010, or
b) The offer is so big that the Indians are willing to give up having a top-10 starter at $8MM.
Option A is pretty non-sensical, and I don’t think the Brewers can afford Option B. That is, they COULD, I’m just not sure they’d want to. It would be a more expensive than Sabathia.

Damn
"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."
Well, the one thing about Bush
He does give up home runs
by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 6:29 PM CDT reply actions
question:
does mat gamel have any speed? For example, if he was on a team not coached by Macha, how many SB would he get in a full season.
PS – i just realized how awful his K/BB is – 23/4 – that’s just sad mat
i think the umpiring
has been especially horrific across the board this season.
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
just want to point out a quick stat
Tampa Bay Rays total stolen bases = 105
Milwaukee Brewers total stolen bases = 18
That is sad. I really don’t believe that one ML team is just that much faster than another one. Is this really the Brewers philosophy?
drafted
i’d have to say its the brewers philosophy…l can’t recall ever having a great baserunner but sure have seen more then a few that can hit ’em over the wall
most teams can hit HRs
i’m not saying that i don’t like the way the Brewers play ball, i’m just saying that that’s a huge discrepancy. plus, it’d be nice to eliminate some of those patented Ken Macha late inning Double-plays
It would be better to compare the Brewers stolen bases to league average not the highest.
Macha addressed this issue with an adequate response
It's always appropriate to post anything related to Kafka.
i'll give you that point
I’m all for sabremetrics and what not. I’m just trying to say, we’re the milwaukee brewrers. not the oakland a’s. and i could swear i recall macha not wanting to play that way but beane made him.
The Rays record is clearly based on their pitching
not on their offense, which has scored 80 more runs than the brewers. plus they play in the AL East
Interesting stat
4-9 followed by 26-11 followed by 4-9 again
Time to rip off another 26-11 stretch.
by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 6:38 PM CDT reply actions
the last 4-9
just seemed like it could have easily been a .500 stretch but some things just werent happening anymore. Awfully nice to see the Crew still atop the leaderboard after it all.
::Personally, I think we got hosed on that call:: Uecker
Rock talks about Bush winning his first three decisions

This game
has the feeling of one of those Brewer games where everything is in sync. Like we hit a 2-run homer in the first, they hit a 2-run homer in the first. They get a 1-2-3 second we get a 1-2-….nevermind…:(

also, just got back from the gym
and I had my headphones plugged in to listen to the broadcast – they had the ESPN feed on.
And while they were pretty complimentary to the Brewers for the most part, there was a part through the second inning in which they went on a long diatribe about how smaller teams have to bring up talent and people always talk about how you have to grow pitchers, but it’s more important to bring up power. They said you know, you can’t always make the Sabathia trade and went on about how you had to have bats, but never ended up saying “And that’s what the Brewers have done.” I mean, it sounded like our blueprint, but they didn’t give us credit for it and in the end it sounded like they were admonishing us for not following their formula and I literally said aloud in the middle of the Downtown YMCA “That’s what we do!” I was really annoyed.

My bad, it's all lumped together in one painful memory of Brewers pitching
Is Suppan still donating for every strikeout again? He should change it to every walk.

who do we have to trade for him though

As long as you're on board
with the whole paying through the nose thing — he’s looking awfully cheap for 2010, and the Indians would seriously be jeopardizing their 2010 season by moving him.

It's probably more likely he trades for Vicente Padilla because he's a Ranger and some other BS redeeming quality

Its crazy to see the trade talk by other teams' fans
White Sox guys were talking about Bartolo Colon. Indians fans were talking getting some good prospects for Pavano.
I don't get why people talk about trading for Brad Penny or signing Tom Glavine

Game change
The Milwaukee Brewers game on Monday, June 29 versus the New York Mets has been changed to a 6:08 p.m. (CT) first pitch in order to accommodate a national telecast by ESPN. The game will be seen locally on both FS Wisconsin and ESPN.

They pushed the game back three extra minutes?

by dishingoutdimes on Jun 15, 2009 8:07 PM CDT reply actions
strategy my friend
Guys who are around .200 are secretly lurking so you walk them to get to the .300 plus hitters.
I'm not a big believer in this voodoo
But doesn’t it seem like the team just plain plays better when it’s NOT in first? Consider their best baseball in the last week of the season last year, when they were chasing, and again earlier this year. Maybe I just can’t get the slow air-out-the-balloon experience that was 2007, but I was hoping secretly that CLE would lose before that game started yesterday.
In a good way
Because Aquino is bad, and we know this firsthand.
