2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

Bummer that it's a WMLW game tonight. I understand it's a Bucks conflict, but still, shame something else couldn't be worked out.

You also do realize that they plan on airing more games on WMLW than just tonight? They have 15 games scheduled to air on WMLW so people around the Milwaukee area who dont have cable or satellite can watch

Oh yeah I know. I was just kind of lamenting that the 2nd game of the season, when everyone is fired up to see the team, wasn't going to be shown statewide. My bad, should have been more clear.

A disappointing start. Hopefully they can bounce back today. Good to see Yo extend his start a little. The 6 inning 125 pitch outings last year were getting a little worrisome. My biggest concern right now is the 5 spot. I'm just not sure I like the lack of protection for Prince.

I agree with the Gallardo analysis. However, right now I think it may be a little premature to say that Fielder has a lack of protection. Three weeks from now if Edmonds/Hart/whoever isn't hitting I would be right there with you.

Free preview lets me see the Rockies broadcast of tonight's game with the TV muted and the radio on.

Nice to see Casey back in the 5 spot tonight.

I laughed over the weekend when they played the promo for WMLW in the park vs the Tigers. They advertised WMLW as airing the "Best of the NL Central games..." and went on to show the logos of the Reds, Pirates, and Astros.

Best of the NL Central my *. :D



Saw the final. Nice to see McGhee still making teams pay for walking Prince. :D Maybe have Edmonds hit 6th?

After what I saw on opening day, I would say not hit Edmonds at all. He looked sssslllllloooooooowwwwww against big time heaters. I don't know what the difference was between Arizona and Milwaukee, other than the weather, but good lord, he just looked hopeless.

And from the "Fire Ken Macha" category: Yes, day one into the season and I was ****ed off at Macha. As I mentioned before, Edmonds looked like he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat against the 98 mph fastball. And that was a righty. So....tying run at the plate in the form of Edmonds, against a LEFTY throwing 95-97 mph....why in the name of all that is holy would you leave him in? Personal bias aside, wouldn't, I don't know, a right handed hitter have been a little more appropriate? I wouldn't have cared had he pulled a righty out of the stands instead of New Jesus. But you just can NOT leave Edmonds in there when his bat looked slow all day long.

So would you have felt better if he had put Hart in there and watched him swing at three pitches in the dirt?

You chose to leave out the part of my quote where I say "I don't care if they would have pulled a righty out of the stands instead of using New Jesus."

Awww, C'mon now. You think EVERY pitch to Hart is going to be a fastball low and away? :D
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

Brewers come back from a 3-0/4-1 deficit to win 5-4! Hoffman gets save 593, kottaras scores from first on a double, when is the last time a catcher did that for the crew?
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

It certainly wasn't Damian miller, Rivera or Kendall.
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

Edmonds back in the 5th spot and goes 2-4 with 2 runs.

Coffey did a great job and LaTroy Hawkins has been great in the set-up role two straight days.
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

Hardy is looking good for us so far. How is Gomez doing over there?
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

First off I'd like to thank MLB in foreseeing the future and scheduling the Brewers for an off-day so that they don't get lost in the shuffle of the Frozen Four. ;)

Secondly, I'm sure the Great LaRussa and the Almighty Cardinals will be happy to know that the Brewers have started to treat baseball games with the full respect that they should by not untucking their shirts anymore after victories.

And finally, Carlos Gomez is how shall we say it still a work in progress. He hit an absolute bomb on opening day, has tried to drop down a couple of bunts, showed his speed in the outfield, and air-mailed third base by oh 15-20 feet on a throw from left-center.

Now on to Ford Field!
 
Re: 2010 Milwaukee Brewers - Pitching: Quantity, or Quality????

Yeah, Gomez gets a little excited. I hope he eventually learns to harness his energy and enthusiasm a bit.
