how do you go from one hitter to being unable to finish the evening
he did this to himself with that error that was a single
Looper went all Manny Parra on us

So...
… if we hang on, is this a game without a winning pitcher?

or
winning fans
"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."
Presumably McClung will get the win
Unless the official scorer gets cute again and tries to give it to Sanches.

Is it possible to have a game without a winning pitcher?
And if so, how?
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 3, 2009 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions
No
If the starter doesn’t last five innings but his team never relinquishes the lead, the win goes to whichever reliever pitched most effectively in the judgment of the official scorer.

Did they change Braun's grounder to a hit?
If not, why are any of those runs earned? Hardy’s out would have been the third.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
It "resets" when a reliever enters
Even though there “should have been” two out, Penn entered the game with one out so he had to get two would-be outs before runs could become unearned.
Sorry that sounds so confusing.

What's up with these horrible text questions to the broadcast?
What makes a relief pitcher unavailable? Are these Joe Morgan chat questions?
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
theyre sent in by the same people
who try to sit in seats that aren’t theres in the first inning, start the wave during a rally, stand up as soon as the pitcher gets into his stretch and other totally cluless behavior
I always sit in seats that aren't mine to begin the game
I don’t see what the big deal about that is. It’s not like I put up a fight when told to leave. If whole sections didn’t wait until the third inning to arrive, it would be even less of a problem.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Ug, I just think it's rude
I have no problem with moving seats, but just think you should wait an inning or two. Just my personal thoughts
I don't get the 3rd inning arrivals...
… or the 7th inning departures. Half of our section cleared out in the 7th on Sunday, and it was a great game. They missed Hoffman!
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 3, 2009 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions
On Sunday some guys showed up next to us in the third and were gone by the fifth
I also really like the people that leave with two outs in the 9th, as though that start will somehow help them
Plus, it’s never taken me more than 15 minutes to get out of MP, so I’m not sure why you’d leave early anyway
I got booed by my family for refusing to participate in the wave on Sunday.

dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Part of me loves the idea
The other part of me is happy that both red-beard and red-vandyke are waiting in the wings for when the starters get into trouble. Guess if Burns can fill one of those roles I’d be all for Seth in for Manny and Manny taking the “since we’re safe… guess you can pitch” role that Julio had been filling
I agree...
… but the value of the relievers is diminished if our starters are giving up 5+ a game.

I think so too
If we don’t fall apart and are in the playoff hunt, I’m thinking Doug will overpay to resign Cameron.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
I hope so
I understand his age and possible decline in play but I do feel he’s a leader in that clubhouse. Afterall, he started the untucking and I think he adds to that swagger (aside from Braun). Whether that move is financially smart, is questionable, but I’d like to see it done.

I smell a major trade in the offseason to get a pitcher
The uncertainty that adds is enough to keep me from outright predicting what you just did, but I agree, that seems like a very Melviny move.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Probably too much to hope for.
But it would be nice. If we wait beyond this offseason on Prince, his trade value starts to diminish in my opinion. But I would think, barring a disaster with Escobar this summer, Hardy won’t be a Brewer in 2010.

That would not be for very long
He is a big man.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Seems to me the choice is to deal him or let him walk when he's FA eligible.
If getting a pitcher is the goal, Prince is the best bait we have, aside from Braun, and we all know Braun isn’t going anywhere. The only other possibility in my opinion is Hardy, but I’m not sure he’ll draw as much in exchange.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 3, 2009 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions
I think Hardy is a huge trade chit

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.
Of course...
… the willingness to trade Prince probably hinges in part on Gamel’s performance this season. There really isn’t a possible replacement for Prince’s bat in the system right now aside from Gamel, and that’s a pretty big if.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 3, 2009 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions
Even if that's true
I still can’t see Prince staying in Milwaukee a minute longer than he has to. If that’s the case, and you can get more than a couple of draft picks…
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
We'll find a way
A Suppan-esque contract into his 40s.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
And yet very easy to overpay for a to-be 37-year-old
Especially if you’re counting on him continuing to provide premium defense as a large part of his value.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

i still think he’ll come cheap.
