I'll be honest: I missed most of today's game in an ill-fated attempt to cook Irish food. Based on the bits of the game I heard and the box score, though, here's what I know:
- Rickie Weeks led off the game with a home run off Aroldis Chapman, the only hit Chapman allowed in three innings of work. Weeks drew walks in his other two plate appearances, posting a 5.000 OPS on the day.
- Doug Davis also had a solid day, posting four shutout innings with three hits, a walk and three strikeouts.
- Angel Salome, who had previously been reported as out for a few days with an ankle strain, made a pinch hit appearance and grounded out.
- Adam Stern hit his first home run of the spring in the 7th to stretch the Brewer lead to 5-1.

Should have made Guinness Mac and Cheese.

Poor Guiness!
Couldn’t you use chicken?

Game Center
How accurate is game center’s pitch count? When I tuned in DD had only thrown 11 pitches to get through the first two innings and only 25 (or so I think) to get through his four innings of work.

not
most ST games have been 3 pitches for a K, 4 for a BB, 1 for a HBP, 1 for hit/out
plus a bonus pitch for a WP.

weeks
wouldn’t his slg be 6.000? It is TB/AB right?
"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."
good to know
thanks

Kip Wells
I’d say he needs to pitch better or he won’t be in the majors to start the year…but then I remember pitching poorly hasn’t hurt his career yet.
Failure is just success rounded down.
yeah...
I forgot to bring up my typical “Kip Wells??? he’s still pitching? He’s always sucked” line that I whip out every time I see him in a stats box.
I couldn’t believe he was on the Cards a few years back…then the Reds and still hanging on there? Aside from perhaps 2002-2003 he’s always sucked (ERA, K/BB and I’m assuming FIP+). Dude almost has 100 losses career…I don’t care what team you’re on, that’s an average of 9-10 losses a season, including 2 seasons where he wasn’t a starter and another where he didn’t play that often. I know sometimes the offsense behind you sucks…but DAMN.

just so you know
I look at more than W-L, but that’s the first thing that jumped out at me when I first determined that he sucked about 4 years ago. I see with the advanced metrics, he’s no better.

I really like that he led the league in losses twice in 3 years
Failure is just success rounded down.
that's either skill
Bad GMing, or bad coaching.
Leading your team is losses either means you were a) unlucky WRT run support or b) worse than everyone else. Leading the league in losses means you’re either a) unlucky+on a bad team or b) worse than almost everyone else. And yeah…doing it twice in 3 years (for two different teams no less) probably means b, especially if the teams weren’t last in their division (which applies in 2007). I’m sure there were worse pitchers that weren’t given the ball every 5 days, but yeah…that’s just grusome.

You have to be good to lose 20 games
Unfortunately, Kip Wells can’t even claim that.
Failure is just success rounded down.
hey, when you find something you're good at
you stick with it.
