Where together, we can learn to spell Treanor and Oeltjen, but probably not Schoeneweis.

That's not wallpaper.
Rubie has poor bladder control.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Does this go against the rules you posted yesterday?
or are you above the law?
or are bladder control jokes fair game?

Rubie knows that if I was trying to be mean spritied
I’d focus the attack on Marquette. :-)

Marquette High School?
I hear they have a pretty good football team. Don’t know of another one.
Rubie, You graduate from Marquette High?

I'll go with
this instead.

I still think Treanor is the best option, for reasons that have nothing to do with marital status.

I'll go with
solidly catching Misty May from the back.

Aren't the pitchers supposed to be ahead of the hitters at this point in the spring?
A quick check of the scoreboard shows the Mets, Cardinals, Astros and Marlins combined for 53 runs today.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
How many walks/HBP and how many errors?
Applying Simpsons and Star Wars quotes to Brewers discussions since 2009.
The Astros scored 15 without a single walk.
But all told, 26 walks, 4 HBP, 4 errors.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
So it’s not just hitter success, there’s some pitching issues and defensive problems. Not much defensive problems, but the 26 walks seems high.

Former Brewer prospect, IIRC?

Looks like Zach Bradford is in
(mistake intended)
Nothing.
My radio might be bad, I’m not getting anything AM wise. Or the lead walls, one of the two.
How far will this one fly?
That sounds like something you'd find scrawled in a mens restroom.

Sadly I don't think it's the Virgin Vault anymore
I believe it’s co-ed now.
Yes, really
Liz Waters was the last single-sex holdout. It’s been co-ed for probably 4-5 years now.
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
You should be able to get it in Madison
but I’m not sure what station.
I cannot comment on your radio… did you get it from an adult store?
Well, it is a very good radio except for AM generally.
It’s got a crappy tuner that I have to move around myself to find a signal, but it isn’t working anywhere in my dorm room.
I just went with the Gameday Audio.
Definitely worth the investment, this way I can take it to class!
How far will this one fly?
Eh.
I would just skip class if I’m not going to pay attention at all. Can I get gameday audio for a month, just for spring training?
I've had it every year since I was a sophomore in college.
I use it a lot. The first year I had it, I listened to at least part of one game by every major league broadcast team, including three innings of an Expos game in French.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I have no idea.
20 bucks for the whole season isn’t bad, I’m not sure if there’s a cancellation after spring, but I wouldn’t see it being worth it for gameday.
How far will this one fly?
Afternoon games are on 1070
Even in Madison, they don’t preempt Limbaugh for baseball.

Probably not in Madison
But you don’t have to wander too far outside the city limits before you’re back into conservative turf.

I once cut a thing out of the paper
that lists all the Brewers radio stations in the state and keep it on the fridge at my moms so I can call and ask for them when we need it
I think it's possible the JS site has a current list.

This might be Scarpetta's only spring training appearance.
I have a hard time believing they’ll keep him around once minor league camp opens.

Iribarren, Cain and Oeltjen due up.
The heart of the order for the 2010 Sounds.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
He is out of options
But I’m pretty sure he could be outrighted if he clears waivers. And I think he’ll clear waivers at this point.
This would be his first outright, so he doesn’t have right of refusal. That starts with your second outright.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Would that would remove him from the 40 man as well?
Or does only a DFA do that?

by Getting Yosted on Mar 4, 2010 4:44 PM CST up reply actions
We're getting into moderately foggy territory here
TheJay may stop by and correct me at any moment, but here’s my understanding.
The Brewers could DFA him and remove him from the 40 man entirely, but he’d be a minor league free agent after the season unless he was added again before then. He’s been in the minors long enough to be eligible for minor league free agency.
But, they can also DFA him for the purpose of sending him to the minors without removing him from the 40 man – it’s effectively like applying for another option for him. Teams don’t typically claim those guys off waivers.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Outrighting boots him off the 40-man roster
If he is not added again by the offseason (October 15 is the date for guys who accept second outright assignments, so it’s probably the same for first timers, too), he could be a minor league free agent.
Designating a player for assignment boots him off the 40-man roster in all situations. I’m not sure what you’re thinking of with your last paragraph…maybe option waivers? Even though he had options remaining, Dave Bush had to clear “option waivers” in 2008 because he had been in the majors for more than three years. Option waivers are special because you can pull the player back, but that’s neither here nor there right now.
Ah, ok.
Option waivers is what I was thinking of. Is that not an option with Iribarren?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Well, they might get another shot at Brandon Medders down the road
Because he’ll probably spend a chunk of 2010 in the PCL too.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Guess I missed him.
I’ve heard of the guy, guess I just assumed the eighth inning guy in the second spring training game wasn’t a likely roster candidate.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Not really
Medders pitched 61 games in MLB last season… he’s probably a bit higher quality pitcher than those three will face in Triple-A.
Ranging from Giants players going to work at a grocery store
and Kent screwing up players. Gotta love summer.
How far will this one fly?
He made some comment about Sandoval, too
Something about leading the Giants in hits, RBI, and tacos – man can he really put them away.
So I just got done working, how are they doing?
Unless someone has a gamestats link, hows the pitching been?

Losing... 3-4
GameDay has the boxscore

Axford imploded in his inning of work.
3-5 now
Smith just let them tack on a run in the eighth.

Everyone but Axford pitched pretty well.

Might be the only day all year that Suppan is only the second most overpaid starting pitcher on the mound.

This might be an interesting poll
I disagree. Zito is clearly making more than he’s worth, but how much more? He was a nearly 200 inning/4.00 ERA guy last year…on the open market today, he’d probably get roughly the nearly $10/per Randy Wolf did. So if that’s true, he’s overpaid by $7-8 million annually.
But if Suppan were cut loose today, I think he’d have a hard time finding a minor league deal. So you can count his full salary as wasted – he’s roughly $12.5 million over his value.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Or...
… you could just conclude you don’t want either of them on your roster at all, in which case having Zito around is worse than Suppan (at least financially).

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Mar 4, 2010 9:49 PM CST up reply actions
FanGraphs has Zito at 2.2 WAR last season.
That’s half a win less than Gallardo, and .5 wins better than the second most valuable Brewer pitcher (Hoffman).
He’s overpaid, certainly, but Zito would be a nice asset to have around.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
That's a convincing argument if your alternative...
… is the 2009 Brewers pitching staff. But I think the choices are better than that.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Mar 5, 2010 1:16 PM CST up reply actions
I'd guess just about every team has at least a starter worth less than 2.2 WAR
If they don’t, you’re right, they’re going to win 110 games and Zito won’t help them.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Pardon me for disagreeing with you.

It’s with the fact that you’re wrong. :-)

I think you're a lot angrier about this than I am
I thought it was an interesting discussion.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
If that's true...
… then I suppose I am. Though angry might be too strong a word. I get annoyed fairly frequently, but angry pretty rarely these days. The fact that most of my wordier comments tend to come when I’m annoyed probably makes it seems like I’m constantly angry, so I don’t really blame you for concluding that I’m in that mood at the moment.

Well, that and the fact that you called my emoticon "disingenuous."
All told, though, I think the whole Suppan v. Zito argument is an interesting one, hence my comment above about it making an interesting poll. I’d be curious to hear what people think: Would they rather have Suppan, and completely flush $12.5 million, or spend more money on Zito, but at least get a tangible return from him?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
That's because I thought it was.
Not because I was angry.

I'm surprised they're not doing pregame shows in spring training
The stuff they’d talk about for half an hour before the game might be as/more relevant than the last three innings of the early spring games.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I think you just answered your own question.
They need something to talk about for the last three innings

Anyone know who's pitching the ninth for the Giants?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I'm out of here
Time to head home and listen to the game on XM. Nice start to the season… can’t wait until the A’s game against Sheets.
Over under on Sheets starts this year is at 20.
by BrewCrewBrian on Mar 4, 2010 4:59 PM CST up reply actions
I'd have thought more than 20 was a reasonable bet...
