Actually
Jeff Suppan is the bomb, counting down every second until he blows it or the gun pointed to your head, forcing you to dig the ditch.
Bill Hall just kinda reminds me of the Sandman from Spiderman 3.

The first part of that answer could be horribly misconstued
to mean that Suppan is even within shouting distance of “average”

I wanted to say more
That he can be good for two pitches to two innings or more, but you just never know when he’s going to screw up completely

Couldn't have said it better myself.

So how long until Swindle is optioned

Maybe Hoffman will get to pitch. Though I’m hoping we’ve traded him for something good by then.
Be hopeful!

The last time the Nats scored 14 runs...surprisingly:
July 20th of last year against Atlanta

I feel like I deserve a refund for my ticket tonight
Anyone agree? I paid to watch Suppan give up 10 earned runs in 5 1/3 to the worst team in baseball. Anyone?
Should I write an angry letter?

Good advice
They aren’t going to refund your money if you send in a letter because every game is a hit or miss event.

I wonder how 2010 season tickets are selling

In terms of ERA+, Suppan is still our second best starter.
90 going into tonight. Just another sign of how bad things are.
Braun took second on defensive indifference twice tonight
Yet another sign of how tonight’s game went.

Here's an arresting thought
Josh Willingham – 8
Milwaukee Brewers – 6

And Willingham did it in only 2 innings

so, 2010...
Braun – ?? – Gamel / McGehee / Hart / ??
McGehee/Gamel – Escobar – Weeks – Fielder
Salome / Rivera
Rotation: Gallardo / Parra / Bush / ? / ?
Pen: Stetter, Coffey, McClung?, Villy?, ??, ???
not too many holes, but the holes need to be filled with some quality parts.
i think there’s plenty of talent on the team it just needs to be used properly and they HAVE to just eat the cost on Hall and Suppan after this year
Unfortunately
Melvin is going to stand by Suppan for better or for worse.

Although he hides it in his competence
There’s a little bit of that crusty Yost demeanor in Melvin. Just ask Moustache about bloggers and the Internet, and you’d swear he was channeling Ned Yost.
"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!"
They're going to need Hall and Suppan's money to keep him
And since he leads the HR count, Prince seems untouchable to me

trading them is out of the question
but, especially in Hall’s case, I think freeing up the roster spot for someone even replacement level would be worth it.
At least this should effectively end the trade talk
by dishingoutdimes on Jul 27, 2009 10:38 PM CDT reply actions
not such a bad thing
a sac fly would have won it, but the grand slam means soriano will get more playing time
An absolute gem from Tommy H
This was the accurate assessment of the Brewers’ starting rotation by a scout tonight: “They’ve got 1 good pitcher — Gallardo.”

It's true
Can’t the Brewers look into human cloning and just use five of him?

God
I’m embarrassed to be a Brewers fan after tonight. There is no excuse for tonight’s game. I hope Macha had a nice closed door meeting after this debacle
"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."
I should've held off on purchasing MLB.TV
Until this week. What a waste of money so far. The only win I saw was last Tuesday at PIT, 2-0. I was at the game on Saturday. Two shutouts in the last week. Unfortunately we are 2-4 in that span.
I’ll still be watching the games though. I don’t know how many more Suppan starts I can handle though. When is Yo pitching next? Thursday?
"I’ll give him a badge and he can be my deputy." -Sheriff Melvin appoints Deputy Braun
Whoa...
Macha said “he was one pitch away” in the post game presser.
I kid you not.

If you lose like this to the Nats
You should have to face Relegation like you do in English Premier League Football.
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Be positive.
Let’s pretend that this years July is last years september, and that we’ll be totally okay.
Or, we can be the JSonline blog, where we’ll just extrapolate out, and pretend that this months results are going to continue indefinitely, and we’ll finish 45 games under .500.
Seriously. If we’re still 6 games out when the ship starts to turn itself around, then I think we’re in ok shape.
Koolaid, anyone?
Heroin
Helping to dull the pain of bad Brewers loses like tonight since 1897
Cue the Lou Reed song Perfect day cook up and forget that Suppan has one year left on his deal after this year
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Parra at least has the potential to someday be good
and Bush was a horse for a good part of the season before he got hurt
and Looper found Claudio Vargas’ Magic Amulet Of Run Support so it doesn’t really matter how he pitches :3
His stats might be good
But we have crap pitchers. Look at how he consistently plays and honestly tell me that you are happy he’s on the team.
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender!"
RIP Nick Adenhart - Stop Drunk Driving
Right, but no one is calling for Bush, Parra (okay maybe) or Looper to be released, or dumped, or tarred and feathered.
It’s results that matter, and when it comes to Suppan, he can’t pitch well enough to not be despised by everyone, even though his results haven’t been as bad as his teammates.
Not saying the other pitchers have done well by any definition, but I sense far more hatred for Suppan than anyone else, and I’m not so sure it’s deserved.
Today, it may be deserved, however…
Pretty much, yeah
I guess that’s what happens when you make more than the rest of the rotation combined. And, yeah, I know, you don’t have to get into the whole that’s what pitching cost in free agency, blah de blah de blah.

Grand slams happen
I can get over that those. It’s the old “walking in a run” that drives me crazy - that if you get to the point where throwing a ball means giving up a run, and you can’t throw a strike anyway.
"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!"
Especially if you were ahead of the guy 0-2
Sadly, the grand slam wasn’t hard to see coming after the strikeout to set up a way out of the inning.

I was at the "game" tonight
Maybe I’m misguided, but I don’t blame soup for this loss. Up until the 5th inning tonight, I had been a pretty happy Macha supporter, but it was clear to EVERYONE that Soup had lost his stuff that inning, I couldn’t believe he kept him in. And then he batted for himself with a man on second. Un. be. lieveable. I almost had a hernia. And then he started the next inning, leaving a ticking poop bomb for the bullpen RIGHT AFTER the brewers got it to a one-run game. Now I know the bullpen did its best to stink as well, but I maintain that had they gotten to start with a clean slate at the beginning of the inning after Soup SAC’d, then things may well have been different. Not saying we would have won, but we must have had a better chance. So no, I’m not angry at Soup, I’m pissed as hell at Macha for bumbling that game away by leaving soup in about an inning and a half (45 minutes?) after it was clear he had lost his stuff.
Bah.
On TV
They talked at length about how Macha needed Suppan to go deep into the game. Though perhaps not to give up 10 runs in doing so.
"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!"
So call up another pitcher after the game if you have to
Or have Trevor Hoffman throw an inning in something other than a save situation (gasp). Yeah, it sucks when you need four innings from the bullpen before a short start but it sucks more when you’re unwilling to use one of the arms out there.

It's bizarro 2008
2008: Good through April, turn to crap in May, great in June and July. The season’s high point was just a year and three days ago when the Crew completed that epic sweep in St. Louis to pull into a tie for first. Then they went into free fall mode.
2009: Crap through April, great in May, crap in June and July. The season’s low point seems to be about right now. Maybe it’s time to go on a tear.

so...
you’re saying we’ll drop most of the games in the last week of the season?
And will finish in 2nd-to-last by a couple games?
by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 28, 2009 3:10 PM CDT up reply actions
Ouch
it was a hard one to listen to last night. I hope that the Crew can get their head out of their a@$ and play some ball. Since the All-Star break they have been a totally different team. The pitching staff has been worse actually. in the past 30 days the Crew overall ERA is over 5 per outing. It is kinda tough to expect the offense to dish out 6 runs every night(but that would not helped last night). Due to the fact they did do that .
