There’s only so long I can put off evaluating the performance of the Brewers so far under the excuse of it being an absurdly small sample size and thus totally useless to look at throughout the season. 3 weeks still isn’t nearly enough of a sample size to make me ever legitimately wonder if a [...]
The news came out last night that Trevor Hoffman is on track to join the Brewers after tossing 18 pitches in a rehab assignment for Triple A Nashville in a successful outing. He should be on track to join the team this weekend in Houston if all goes according to plan. As with any other [...]
The Brewers managed yet another 1-2 series loss this weekend in the new Pitchers’ Heaven Field, salvaging a two-run win yesterday after suffering a couple of bad 1-run losses on Friday and Saturday. The Crew’s luck remains a little bit slim to start this season, already going 1-4 in one-run games and a pythagorean record [...]
The world lost a baseball legend today with the passing of Harry Kalas. Kalas was probably my personal favorite announcer and arguably the second most important baseball announcer outside of Dodgers great Vin Scully. I’ve always had a beef with the Phillies and Philadelphia in general (I’m still not over 4th and 26), but there [...]
The Brewers pretty much did as expected this weekend, going 1-2 in a trio of (moderately) exciting games eclipsed by yet another “wonderful” start from Jeff Suppan and an incredible catch by Reed Johnson robbing a grand slam from Prince Fielder. On Friday I said that I’d be happy with a 2-4 record coming out [...]
RIP Nick Adenhart. You know something’s awful when Scott Boras is breaking down crying during an interview with the press. This is one of the few times where it’s appropriate that Boras beefs up a client. Drunk driving is the worst. ***** Milwaukee went 1-2 on the first three games of the season on the [...]
I have over 150 new e-mails in my inbox that I simply haven’t had the time to sort through until now due to the lagging computer problems and increased business in school. Some of these releases go all the way back to February, so I’m a little out-of-date. I’ll slowly bring your back into midseason [...]
Roster…check. Probable pitchers page back up…check. MLB.TV…check. It’s back! There aren’t really many surprises in the final 25-man roster that hasn’t already been cleared up in the last week or two. At the beginning of March, however, I would have been surprised to see Chris Duffy on the roster over Tony Gwynn Jr., simply based [...]
