It’s official: Bill Hall will get the majority of the playing time at third base. He left open the possibility of a change as the Brewers get further into the season, but for now, Hall will get the majority of at-bats during the regular season to try and prove that he’s an everyday player again [...]
New manager Ken Macha didn’t make many baseball statheads too pleased when he decided to set the spring training rotation with Jeff Suppan to lead off the spring training schedule. Hopefully this is only a spring training move — Macha noted specifically that this is only the spring training schedule and not necessarily the one [...]
Welcome to the first of your two posts today. Check out all this new stuff! Remember, it’s all free to download and check out and not illegal to have! Techno Luke Slater released a live mix he played in Glasgow in January. If you’re going to listen to any mix I post today — do [...]
On Monday I took a quick glance at four similar baseball players just by looking at their statistics and nothing else. Each player played the same position and therefore had the same normalized stats: Chicks obviously dig the long ball, but let’s run a few comparisons, “mystery game” style. Check it out, using 2008 statistics: [...]
Starting now, on Tuesdays I’m going to put together a little roll of electronic mixes of various genres and types that have recently been released. They’ll always be sorted by genre, and they’re all free to download and distribute, so no worries about this being taken down. If you have something you want me to [...]
Yovani Gallardo wants to pitch in the World Baseball Classic next month but is waiting to hear back from the Brewers to determine how comfortable they are with the idea before Gallardo makes his final decision. He would pitch for Mexico, naturally, and final rosters have to be sent in by the 24th, so final [...]
We’re getting pretty close to the day where pitchers and catchers report for duty and people start anticipating the first day of spring instead of dreading the upcoming remaining month or so of cabin fever people in the upper midwest tend to experience. We’re also getting pretty close to the day where Corey Hart could [...]
Over the next few days I’m going to start compiling a list of legitimate Brewers websites — blogs, official sites, or whatever — on the linkroll to the right of the page. If you have one, or you know of one that I’ve missed, e-mail me at cody@czwief.com or comment with the link on this [...]
As you may notice, the title is no longer the date — I present to you, the pinnocle of innovation! The most exciting thing to happen recently was the response to the pitching depth problem the brewers have. Chase Wright is a lefty pitcher who’s done well in the minor leagues, going 13-5 with a [...]
I’m mad about the Super Bowl, so no thanks on the NFL. I can’t stand Pittsburgh and the last play was an incomplete pass, not a fumble. Not that the Cardinals would have won, but tack on 15 yards for the unsportsmanlike conduct, and when you think about how Larry Fitzgerald is the only receiver [...]
