2013 Milwaukee Brewers - Cheaters, Underachievers and Disappointments Oh My!

Wanna trade for Valverde?

Yes, I do. Valverde has not yet sucked for the Brewers, which puts him ahead of.... every other guy in the bullpen.

btw Brewers fans - I was at the Reds-Pirates game on Friday, and who should come in for Cincy but... Manny Parra! One walk and they took him out. :)

Lohse had something special going midway thru five until he allowed a walk. Still 1-0 Brewers going into the bottom five.


The way the first inning started for Lohse, I thought he might have a gem going tonight.

Ha! My wife made the same comment last night.

Mike Fiers sent down, Hiram Burgos called up and will start against the Cubs on Saturday.

A week ago, I honestly thought it would be mid-May at the soonest before we'd sniff .500.

Nice little run!

Break up the Crew! Next up in the last-place Padres, who moved the fences in this year. Ryan Braun approves!

Nine in a row. :)

My favorite part of the game article from JSOnline:

The bullpen has been so key to the Brewers’ winning streak and that proved true once again. Former closer John Axford continued his resurgence with a 1-2-3 eighth inning and Jim Henderson covered the ninth with his fifth save in as many chances.

"The bullpen is unbelievable," said Roenicke. "Every time they come in, they put up zeroes. That’s why we’re winning. The starters have been good but the bullpen has been great."

Ramirez could come back next week. Sit Gonzalez and start Yuni most days at first? Whoulda thunk? He's pretty hot (and Gonzalez is so.. not) I think you have to keep his bat in the lineup for now.

That has to be one of the worst umpiring crews in baseball. That missed check-swing strike 3 yesterday and then tonight, Maldonado's foot was still in the box when he was it by the ball.

Time to start a new streak vs the Greinke-less Dodgers.

Also, give Rickie a day (or week) off.

How good is that Zack Greinke trade looking right now? Holy cow. Segura has been fantastic - at the plate and in the field. Really enjoy watching him.

No kidding. I had really high hopes for Segura and really liked the trade last year but I have to say my hopes have been far exceeded at this point. Stay healthy kid.

Now we just need Ariel Pena or John Hellweg to work out and that trade will be wonderful.
 
Re: 2013 Milwaukee Brewers - Cheaters, Underachievers and Disappointments Oh My!

Greinke was never really quite what I thought/hoped he would be either. Thought he'd be more of a dominant ace. He was solid, no doubt, but not dominant.

Loving Mean Jean.
 
Re: 2013 Milwaukee Brewers - Cheaters, Underachievers and Disappointments Oh My!

Is Segura still eligibile for rookie of the year or did he play too many games last year?

On the broadcast last night, they said he had too many at bats.

Yup, the limit is 130 at bats and he had 148 last year

On the other hand, Henderson is still considered a rookie. For some reason, this situation seems like it should be reversed.
