PrintSome things to read while writing an angry letter.
If you went to bed at a decent hour last night you missed a pretty good Brewer game, as they downed the Angels 12-2. Kirbir stayed up late to write the recap, which you can find here.
Randy Wolf had a great bounce-back performance last night, loading the bases in the second and third but escaping with minimal damage, and allowing just two runs on three hits in seven innings. In-Between Hops noted that it was the first time Wolf has allowed fewer hits and walks than innings pitched this season, and Disciples of Uecker noted that he got 14 outs via ground ball. Joe Saunders, meanwhile, allowed 14 fly balls to the Brewers in his 5.2 innings of work.
Most of the early offense last night came off the bat of Ryan Braun, who hit the third grand slam of his career and the first ever off of Joe Saunders. It was the Brewers' fourth slam of the season, tying them for the second most in baseball. SgtClueLs has identified the source of Braun's power.
The other home run in last night's game was also interesting in its own way: Casey McGehee (who was last night's DH) hit a fly ball to the wall in center that would have been a double against most center fielders, who never would have had the range to get there. Torii Hunter leaped at the wall and made what appeared to be a great catch, but the ball popped out of his glove and went over the fence. Sam Miller of the Orange County Register wonders if Hunter is starting to lose it.
In an unfortunate note, Angels shortstop Erick Aybar left last night's game with a hyperextended left knee after a collision with Casey McGehee at second base. The report linked above says no MRI has been scheduled and Aybar is day-to-day. Casey McGehee is taking some heat for the slide (which Halos Heaven called a "chump take-out slide"), but the play was clean and Torii Hunter had this to say about it:
"He tried to break up a double play," Hunter said. "He couldn't do anything about it. I like it; that's the way we play the game. I respect it. Aybar is one of our better players, and we don't know how his knee is. He says he's all right. I hope so."
Hopefully Aybar will be fine and we can put all of this behind us.
Other notes from the field:
- With Randy Wolf on the mound last night George Kottaras got his second straight start at catcher, and broke out of his slump by going 2-for-4 with a double and a walk.
- Four batters were hit by pitches last night, including Randy Wolf's 75th career plunk and Craig Counsell's 20th HBP as a Brewer. As you might expect, Plunk Everyone was all over it.
- Braun, Wolf and Corey Hart are leading FanGraphs' Star of the Game voting.
- Here are last night's MLB.com video highlights.
- Last night's game was the first meeting between the two teams since the Brewers won a 1-0, 17 inning contest in 2004.
The Brewers picked a good day to have first round pick Dylan Covey in attendance. Covey was in the clubhouse before the game and got to try on a uniform and meet Trevor Hoffman for the first time. Covey's dad is handling negotiations for his son to preserve his possible amateur status: He told Anthony Witrado that he's hoping for a $2 million signing bonus (slot for the 14th pick is $1.7 million), but is confident the two sides will be able to get a deal done.
He's not getting the level of national attention one might expect, but Yovani Gallardo is putting together a great season. Baseball In-Depth notes that Gallardo is one of just four pitchers that have thrown over 20 innings in May and June and posted a sub-3.00 ERA.
In the minors:
- The Brewers demoted both of their top selections from the 2009 draft yesterday, bumping Eric Arnett down to Arizona and Kentrail Davis from Brevard County to Wisconsin. Arnett (who is 0-11 in his pro career) posted a 6.87 ERA in 56.1 innings with Wisconsin, while Davis was hitting .244/.380/.341 for BC but struggling to stay healthy.
- The Brewers have agreed to terms with eighth round pick Austin Ross, according to Battlekow.
- On the field the affiliates went 0-3 again last night, and are now 0-10 since Friday. You can read all about their futility in today's Minor League Notes.
- The Nashville Sounds have a profile of outfielder Adam Stern, who grew up as a big Devon White fan.
- The Brewer Nation has an interview with 34th round pick and Grafton native Conor Fisk.
- Andy Seiler gave the Brewers a C+ for their draft, and ranked them 25th.
- Brewerfan.net reports that the Brewers have signed RHP Marty McLeary to fill out the staff in Nashville. McLeary is 35 and last pitched in the majors for the 2007 Pirates. This season, he posted a 10.85 ERA between AA and AAA in the Blue Jays' organization.
- Neither is probably a threat to exercise the option, but Brewerfan.net notes that A.J. Murray and Trent Oeltjen can become free agents if they're not added to the major league roster by June 15 (today) and July 1, respectively.
On power rankings:
- ESPN moved the Brewers up one spot to 23.
- Craig Calcaterra has the Brewers at 24.
- MLB FanHouse dropped the Brewers one spot to 27.
If you've got a moment this morning and you haven't taken the time to do these things yet, there's still time:
- Ryan Fagan of The Sporting News would like your help interviewing Rickie Weeks.
- This week's BCB Tracking Poll is still open until noon today.
Somehow, we managed to make it through the entire day yesterday without a notable transaction, even with my somewhat expanded definition of "notable." Weird.
Casey McGehee's home run last night was one of several strange happenings in west coast games last night. Mark Townsend of Bugs & Cranks has a roundup of what you might have missed if you went to bed early, including an earthquake and a strange ground rule.
From the unexpected to the completely predictable: With Ned Yost as his new manager, Jason Kendall is still catching every day: Royals Review notes that he's caught 92.4% of Royals innings this season. No other catcher has caught more than 84.2% for his team.
Elsewhere in bad former Brewers: Jeff Suppan is going to start for the Cardinals today against the Mariners.
Mark Mulder was rumored to be a Brewer for so long that he feels like a former Brewer: He officially announced his retirement this week.
We've all been there: The Common Man has a guide to attending a game with a disinterested partner. I'll actually go ahead and dispute one point: I've taught my wife to keep score, and it can keep her interested for innings on end if it's not too cold.
Maybe you can dazzle your significant other with your surprising knowledge of physics? Mike Fast of Beyond the Box Score did the math and estimates that a baseball needs to be thrown at least 26-28 mph to make it from the mound to home plate.
Two pretty good baseball movies enter, but only one can advance: Twinkie Town wants to know if you prefer 61* or Eight Men Out.
If you're in or near Appleton this week, the Timber Rattlers are on the road but the WIAA State Tournament is taking place at Fox Cities Stadium: Rattler Radio has the schedule of events.
Here's an aggressive promotion: When short-season leagues open play next week, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports that the Rangers will have 17-year-old shortstop Jurickson Profar, a native of Curacao, opening the season in the Northwest League.
Happy birthday today to:
- Huntsville Star Alex Periard, who turns 23.
- BC Manatee Michael Fiers, who turns 25.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have fads to catch up on.
Drink up.

That slide was a weird play.
Part of me agrees that you shouldn’t do that slide when you’re up by 7 late in the game. But, at the same time, Casey wasn’t trying to hit him, he was just tryign to alter the throw. If Aybar gets a good throw coming in, his foot doesn’t come off the bag. Then he’s he’s not in that awkward position, trying to tag the bag and hold onto the ball. Then, he’s able to get out of the way.
We’ve already got the almighty Torii Hunter’s opinion of the slide, I wonder what Sir Albert has to say.
http://www.mlbsoup.com
I haven't been able to see the play yet so feel free to ignore this
But what was McGehee supposed to do, stand in the way? Unless he was way out of the baseline or slid way after the ball was thrown, he doesn’t really have anything else to do but slide into second, right?
Failure is just success rounded down.
It was a defensive slide.
There’s definitely a difference between sliding into second and breaking up a double play. The intent is never to knock the defender on his ass, it’s to alter his throw, make him jump over you or around you.
http://www.mlbsoup.com
It was mostly that the throw was off the bag
If people want to say that Casey shouldn’t slide like that when up by 7, then I would say that Aybar should just go with the throw and come off the bag. His desperation to keep his toe on 2nd got him the out, but also cost him his knee.
In that circumstance, as the runner you expect them to catch and throw and hop over you as always. In a split second there is no way to account for the other middle IF to do something like that. It was an unusual play.
Another thing to consider:
Instincts take over at a certian point.
Its: “I am on first, and there is a grounder. Its my job to break up the double play.”
Not: "I am on first, and there is a grounder. Are we up by a supposedly “insurmountable” lead? Is Jeter/Pujols/some other random “star” covering that I might injure? No? OK, then its my job to break up the double play."

"Part of me agrees that you should do that slide when you're up by 7 late in the game..."
Which part?
I don’t really understand the thinking that the rules change when there’s a lead after 6, or 5, or 8 or whatever. He ran hard and he slid hard. It’s been going on in baseball for 100+ years. That’s what you’re supposed to do. If the guy was 3 feet off the bag and McGehee ran into him with his arm extended back to touch thebag, it’s still legal. As it was, even a slide that wasn’t designed to take out the defender (which McGehee’s clearly was) would have still resulted in contact because of the position Aybar was in when.
I understand the Angels fans are upset because they have an injured player and so they’re going to say stupid things, but I don’t see any reason any of the rest of us should give their complaints any credence. If they want to be pissed at someone, they should be pissed at their first baseman for making a terrible throw that force Aybar to come back to the bag and prevented him from clearing the scene before McGehee got there.

argh.
“… position Aybar was in when” McGehee arrived at the bag.

It was a hard play but a clean one-this coming from an Angels fan
but, the fact that he was just HBP and then it was obvious that Aybar wasn’t going for the DP just trying to get his foot on the bag was the problem most of us had with it. . McGehee went in hard like we was supposed to so it is what it is. But those who say there was no ‘intent’ behind it are being a little naive
Fuentes = The New 'F' Word
by Sinatrasratpack on Jun 15, 2010 1:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Confused
Do you think he had ‘intent’ to break up a DP or ‘intent’ to injure Aybar?
If it was obviously not a DP, why did Aybar make the actions to throw to 1B before Casey hit him?
Get a ife broseph
I would contend that the 'intent' is always to break up a DP by forcing the fielder to jump out of the way;
and never to knock over the fielder. It was just unlucky that there was a bad throw, pulling Aybar’s foot off the bag.
I don’t think you can really say that Casey knew Aybar wasn’t turning two. He sees that Aybar is ready to catch the ball at second, and he has no idea if the runner is going to make it to first or not. He’s gotta try to force a bad throw, or no-throw there.
http://www.mlbsoup.com
not only that, a 7 run lead for the brewers bullpen
is most definitely surmountable.

Arnett W-L record
Beyond the general issues with W-L record, is it fair to list it for low-minor leaguers? With pitch counts being what they are and tandem starters, how often do they go the five-plus innings required for a win?
It’s definitely not a good sign Arnett couldn’t manage a win once, but holding all his losses against him (especially those at Helena) is a bit like saying a setup man can’t be a good closer because he blows more saves than he converts.
Of course, if they use different W-L rules in those leagues, then never mind.
Failure is just success rounded down.
Agreed, to a point.
But, for comparison purposes, Kyle Heckathorn is 4-5 in largely the same situations.
I’ll agree that pitch counts probably limit these guys’ ability to get a win in some situations, but I think most of them are allowed to throw 90 pitches, which should be enough to complete the fifth with a chance to win from time to time. They probably get robbed of some wins when the bullpen blows the lead, but still.
I think Arnett’s 11 losses are more telling than his 0 wins. Because he’s a low level minor leaguer on a low pitch count, that means he’s taken his team into an insurmountable hole in the early innings 11 times.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
by Kyle Lobner on Jun 15, 2010 11:00 AM CDT up reply actions
Also agreed, to a point
It could be the pitchers behind him making things worse or the offense not showing up as well, but that’s more general W-L issue than anything directly related to him (though he did suffer a hard-luck 7 IP loss recently).
I just think wins are especially pointless in the lower levels of the minors. The first reliever out of the pen can really rack up wins.
Failure is just success rounded down.
5-2 on the road, 7-0 in May
looks like a real asset
Hunter has really been slipping, especially with the glove, for a few seasons now.
I’d say hes just about average now. Maybe not even that.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
I love those super meaningful awards

My apologies to Ryan Braun
For insinuating last night that he’s playing lazy and not putting any strength into his swing, as if he’s lost all hope and passion for the season. His slam obviously refuted that, and his recent forays outside the strike zone have been misunderstood as an exploration to find new untapped sources of RBIs.
Ryan Braun forgives you.

In any case, as someone living with the disease, I don’t really care what his motivations were. He’s still raising awareness and money for research regarding a condition that affects thousands of kids every year, leaving them crippled and suffering.

Rex Morrow
I have been going to the state tournament for nearly 15 years. While I like Morrow, he is just too small, only 5’9". He has great fundamentals on the mound, at the plate and in the field. But I just don’t see him projecting as draft prospect unless he does something in college.
The kid to watch is Kyle McHugh in Division 4 with Rosholt. He was at state two years ago and is a horse. 6’3", 215 pounds. He hit over .600 this year with 15 HRS. If i kid like that can’t get drafted out of high school I don’t see Morrow getting drafted either.
61* or Eight Men Out?
Seriously? I like them both, but Eight Men Out is a very good movie and 61* is sentimental Hallmark channel schlock.

What was the point of taking Coffey out to LAnaheim? He has to fly back and forth across the country again to rehab in Nashville and return to join the team.
