The strike zone has been terrible today, for both sides. -
There should be 2 outs.
-
F U Soriano.

I dislike walks intensely.
-
Of course. I'm really not liking Lou's non-personnel decision making so far. At all.

If I'm the Brewers I wait until this offseason to make major improvements. If they roll the dice and trade away Escobar and Gamel and don't make the postseason, it would be an unmitigated disaster. There will be quite a few solid SP available via free agency after this season. If they are neck and neck with the Cubs come July, a move would make sense. But I can't see that happening. At this point, I think the Astros and Cardinals may well be ahead of them by then.
-
I'm not a minor league guru, so other than Gamel and Escobar, what do they have left in terms of top tier prospects?
-
if so, that is a really good start by carpenter Yeah looks very near his CY Young form of a few years ago, he could easily win 16-20 games this year if he stays healthy. With him and a healthy Wainright going, color me worried. Carpenter's thrown 25 innings combined the last two years. This. He may well be very good, but for how long? I can't imagine him going over 150 IP.

Was anyone listening to Mike and Mike this morning? (Harden)

Yeah and they lost Carpenter for the entire season and still almost matched that projection. Wahetever though, it's not really worth arguing if you're just going to pretend like they haven't been competitive. They've been as competitive as they possibly could have been, which is a testament to their coaching staff. For all his asshattery, there is no manager I would rather have than Tony LaRussa. -
The Brewers are going to hit, you can be sure of that. But outside of Gallardo's starts it's going to be a bumpy ride for the Crew. There will be a lot of holding on for dear life in 10-8, 11-10 types of games. Their pitching staff is just all kinds of awful. They have enough ammo left for one more major trade, but I have a hard time imagining them being within striking distance by the time the market heats up.

Gallardo struggling with his command a bit, but fortunately for him the Giant's lineup is terrible.

You beat me to it. Stupid. Why pull the superior defender when you could move him to his natural position? Reporters asked Lou that the other night. He said Milton is a good outfielder and he won't be replacing him for defense. After some of the mistakes Fukudome made in CF towards the end of spring. I think Lou is little nervous about Fukudome defense in CF. But if he starts to do well I'm sure Lou will keep him in there. Fuku is still a much better fielder, and Milton is injury prone to boot. It makes zero sense. Lou will wait until after Milt's first trip to the DL, then he'll start replacing him late. If he keeps doing it, it will cost us a game at some point.

Yeah, in a couple months when he helps get us Peavy.

Dusty would bench him.

Bradley's start is reminiscent of Nomar's in 2005. Tear it up in ST, and stumble out of the box. If he tears his groin in the next couple weeks, I'm calling shenanigans.
-
The fact he managed to stay alive after being down in the count a couple of times is encouraging, regardless of who it was against. Agreed he looked good tonight hopefully he can keep it up, I think a platoon and a little more down time/better matchups will do him well this year I just think he was too good in Japan to just crap out so easily. This isn't Shinjo or Taguchi we're talking about here.
-
yeah... You sure went out on a limb with that one. Yeah, he sure called a good AB where he likely would have had another single if the pitcher didn't snag it. That hotshot nailed it. Well, the fact he wasn't going to get hits in every AB going forward was more of the point. Trust me, I am as big a Kosuke supporter as there is around here.

Hey, I beat you to that one.

Jimmie Wynn just homered.
