It must just be the way MLB Gameday updates then.

They must only list the out pitches in the pitch count, because right now it says bottom of the 2nd and Jeff Suppan has thrown 3 pitches.

by KittenMittons on Mar 4, 2010 2:42 PM CST up reply actions  

He threw more than 3 balls to the plate.

However, MLB only recognizes 3 of them as meeting the defining criterion of a “pitch”. It’s actually being quite generous.

To be fair though.

Even if he’s just a crazy free-swinger at the dish, maybe the goggles can help his defense. If the ball is blurry at 60 ft. 6 in. then I imagine the 200+ ft away fly ball must not have been too clear.

I doubt it.

Hart is the Brewers starter in RF… even if he struggles. If anything, the Brewers might decide to trade him if they decide to move Gamel to RF, but I don’t think they see Gerut as anything more than a 4th OF.

Well, if you're going on upside

I think he’s got more than Schoeneweis.

That aside, he’s a big, physical lefty who throws hard and could develop into a starter. And if he doesn’t make the team, you have to give him back for next to nothing. So I’d rather keep the lottery ticket and stash him in the bullpen than the guy who’s old and may not even be league average.

In regards to Narveson, I’d put it relatively even. Lofgren has more upside, Narveson is moderately closer to proven.

As for Braddock – he’s got roughly 30 career innings above A ball.

That a team that leaves lots of runners stranded is a victim of bad luck more than anything else…that said, I haven’t looked at the numbers, but I actually don’t think the Crew was any worse than average at that, at least last year…

I give up on Firefox

GameDay is all screwed up looking… players’ pictures cutoff, scroll area doesn’t scroll all the way… had the same problems last season too.

I’m going to take a break and install Chrome now.

by sjlee on Mar 4, 2010 3:48 PM CST reply actions  

I like Chrome a lot

only problem is it has problem with playing some media, like espn360

by theBrouhaha on Mar 4, 2010 3:49 PM CST up reply actions  

Ok...

Where’s the Home button in Chrome?

by sjlee on Mar 4, 2010 3:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Weird.

I just finished installing it at work and I see it now, but at home for some reason that button is missing.

by sjlee on Mar 4, 2010 3:54 PM CST up reply actions  

Hmmm...

I’ll have to see if I accidentally turned it off at home. Thanks.

I know

I have it at home, but I was willing to still give Firefox a chance at work.

by sjlee on Mar 4, 2010 3:50 PM CST up reply actions  

I used Chrome for about two weeks

But it always seemed to struggle with Gmail and Google Reader (strangely), and I use those a lot, so I went back to Firefox.

It's been a few months.

I still have Chrome on my Netbook, but went back to Firefox on my laptop.

But no adblock plus (to my knowledge).

And no Ubiquity. Not many people use it, but I find it helpful.

Firefox Add-on

Wikipedia
Basically, I can highlight a word, type “DEF” and it will look up the definition without opening a new tab. You can also search google, yahoo, amazon, youtube, and google maps. Real convenient to highlight an address and just type “map” and it’s there in google maps.

However, it is not updated to work with 3.6

John Axford is the master of unlikely situations.

Final game of last season, he picked up a save after Trevor Hoffman blew one.
First game of spring training, he blew a save for Jeff Suppan.

He's getting nickeled and dimed to death.

I was operating under the assumption that the Brewers would hold the lead until the ninth so Ryan Rohlinger could hit another walkoff home run.

Huh, Steffan Wilson’s in. Missed that one.

Ueck's tendency to prefer storytelling over game-narrating really shows in spring training.

New Giants catcher is Steve Holm.

Dammit. One letter away from a STEVE HOLT reference.

@extrabaggs: Hey Prince Fielder, was the HR celebration worth getting hit with a pitch? “You’re damn right it was worth it,” he told Brewers scribes.

his attempts

To spell all the names of the subs is funny, though

No one told prince the “little trip” was a secret:

@Haudricourt: Prince Fielder just told me that Brewers met with agent Scott Boras on Wednesday to discuss extension. Said no offer was made.

It's spring training for everyone.

Gorman was good about laying on the couch so I could work until now, but he’s getting restless. He’s picking up toys out of his box and bringing them to me one at a time, hoping he can find one I want to play with.
