PrintLadies and gentlemen, it's almost time to say farewell to Maryvale for another year. Join us at 3:05 today as the Brewers try to clinch a winning Cactus League season against the Diamondbacks.
Follow the jump for today's pitching matchup and conversation on today's game!
Randy Wolf (1-0, 1.13 this spring) is making his fifth "A" game start of the spring, and has only allowed a run in one of his previous four. Last time out, he allowed just one hit in six innings against the Rangers.
He'll face off against Ian Kennedy (2-1, 2.79 this spring), making his sixth start. He was effective last time out against the Indians, allowing two runs on five hits in six innings. He's struck out eleven opposing batters in his last eleven innings.
As of this writing, I don't have a lineup for today yet - check the comments and it will likely magically appear.
Enjoy the game!

Easiest contest ever
Guess who wrote today’s “Manager’s Briefing” at the JS?
Here’s the first paragraph:
Unless something else comes along that the Brewers feel they can’t pass up, they’re 25-man roster is unofficially set (the club doesn’t have to turn in an official roster until midnight Sunday for their Monday opener).
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Wow
Ignoring the fact he wrote “their” as “they’re”… he’s basically saying nothing newsworthy… or even noteworthy.
Well, Haudricourt's mentioned that fact a few times...
I won’t go so far as to criticize the intended content, I think that’s a pretty commonplace statement in all end of spring training articles.
Shruggity
Well, they do a Manager's Briefing every day, news or no news.
It’s just the completely obvious grammatical error that a high schooler shouldn’t make, much less a professional writer.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Heh...
It wouldn’t be his first mistake of that nature (e.g. their/they’re/there, your/you’re, etc.)… and I’m sure it won’t be his last.
I do realize that type of news is probably the norm towards the end of ST, but I find the way he’s worded it very awkward and confusing.
Something along the lines of…
“With Spring Training coming to an end, the Brewers appear to have their 25-man roster set. Teams have until midnight Sunday to set their official rosters.”

Moved the office outside again today.
One of my neighbors is mowing their lawn. WTF?

None

I sometimes use the lawnmower to bag leafs

That is a pretty common problem in my neighborhood.

I can't imagine the grass needs mowing yet.
Maybe he’s using his riding mower to thatch or aerate the lawn or even spread fertilizer/weed preventer?
yep.

He's using a push mower
but I suppose it’s possible.

This weekend I will fire up the lawnmower to pick up leafs and crap...
By “I” of course I mean “the boy”

this time of year i use the lawnmower to take care of the accumulated dog poop issue in the back yard
when it’s nice and dry it just turns into fertilizer
Yeah -- Lawnmowers are good for cleaning up a lot of things.

yeah -- you have to clear all the stuff off the grass so the grass can grow.

and some kids — so there is a lot of poop on the yard.

FWIW
The Pirates lost again today and will finish Grapefruit League play at 7-19. Washington won today to get to 10-18, so the White Sox (9-16) and Rangers (9-17) are the only other teams with a chance to finish the spring with less than 10 wins.
Actually, the White Sox will finish at 9-16, since they’re playing their AAA team today.

Be honest
Did you double check your they’re/their in the last sentence to make sure you nailed it after ragging on AW?
Didn't think to check
Good thing I got it right.

Anyone going to the exhibition game tomorrow?
rumor has it the roof will be open.

Those night games in April could get pretty chilly
nice to have the roof closed to keep some warmth in.
Do they make sweaters with the Brewers logo?
BTW – I can’t imagine what that first night game for the Twins will be like in that new stadium. Average low for this time of the year is mid-30s.
I'm sure they make Brewer sweaters
But really, you should be wearing a BCB hoodie.

Would it look bad if I wore both hoods up?
Or as Braun has showed me… I could wear a hoodie over a Remetee, over a sweater, over a dress shirt.
Remetee ALWAYS goes on the outside.
Otherwise you look ridiculous.

I wonder if that refers to that shirt he's wearing (over his regular clothes no less)
Or the fact he has alot of back hair?

But I’ll be in there in June for my wedding.
My step-uncle had the great advice that if you play $30 hands of blackjack for 5 hours, they’ll comp your room. Thanks, Tom. I’ll remember that as I put down my entire life savings to play 100 hands of blackjack.
I would love to see you play 5 hrs of blackjack on your wedding night.

Phoenix Allergies...
As the storm moved in last night, there was a LOT of wind, pushing around the pollen and crap. So it’s quite understandable for his allergies to flare up.

I'm not a fan of April Fools jokes
But that would be a pretty phenomenal one…air a few innings of a Brewer broadcast, then reveal that the game was rained out and they’ve been making it up for hours.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I sort of wish this game was made up
I can’t imagine Wolf is working on anything this late in ST… hopefully it’s just him getting one of his bad outings out of the way.
Huh
So apparently the Brewers have talked to Jermaine Dye within the last week, and discussed Corey Hart with the Nats.
Interesting.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Dye really shouldn't be on an NL team
If they got him cheap and basically used him solely for pinch-hitting, and only emergency starts in the field, I suppose that could be okay, but otherwise I don’t think that move would work out.
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
I think we've had this conversation before, somewhere
But I’m pretty sure the maximum value of a pinch-hitter only type guy is so low that you’d have a very hard time getting a veteran like Dye to take it.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
I'm not saying they'd be able to get him to take it
I’m just saying that’s the only situation I could see it working out. There was something on fangraphs where they had Dye as, if I’m not mistaken, the second-worst fielder in MLB over the last three years. Dude just can’t play the field anymore.
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
He might be passable in RF if he's platooning with Edmonds.
Hart is pretty expensive to be a platoon player. Particularly if they have plans on eventually replacing him with someone in the minors.
That's probably what they were considering him for
I haven’t run any numbers, so this is a gut feeling, but I suppose if you think Hart’s just going to be an absolute bust this year, Dye might be a marginal improvement. I’m skeptical, though.
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
I'm wondering if that's why Edmonds hinted about retirement.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Found it
Jordan and I discussed it here, in reference to Hideki Matsui.

Since Ueck and Cory don’t let Kent do pbp, we’ve likely listened to the last Kent inning until next spring.

If they go any farther down the depth chart in the last few innings
They’re going to have to call back some of the guys they released yesterday.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
So, let me get this straight
The Brewers want Cain to play in Nashville this season, but he’s opening the season in AA because, with Logan Schafer out, they don’t have anyone to play center?
Is there not an organizational-fodder type guy out there capable of playing a couple of weeks at AA so Cain isn’t stuck a level below where he belongs?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Corey Hart might have some free time on his hands....

I can't tell what's going on.
I love Ueck for a variety of reasons, but if you’re actually trying to follow an ST game, you’re better off just waiting for Gameday to update.
