UPDATED BELOW!!!!!! With all the hubbub surrounding Roy Halladay I thought I’d chime in (again) on trading for him. As of right now the Crew is 2.5 games out of first place in the Central and 2.5 pitchers out of a halfway decent starting rotation. Getting Halladay would be pretty much exactly the same as [...]
All of a sudden I’ve been brought back to the days of Ruben Quevedo and Jamey Wright tossing up a consistent array of doubles and gopher balls to the opposition when posting ERAs of 5.76 and 5.35 in 44 total starts and a combined 11-24 win-loss record. In 2002, the Brewers went 56-106. Glendon Rusch [...]
Some thoughts after a totally acceptable 1-2 home series against the Cardinals… The Brewers have been linked to trading for Jake Peavy to compliment the starting rotation and become this year’s C.C. Sabathia. Actually these articles don’t explicitly mention the Brewers having any interest in Peavy, but simply that people assume the Brewers are frontrunners [...]
Posts might be scarce the next couple of weeks. Tomorrow (well, today, technically) I’m moving to a new home, and with finals week rapidly approaching, I will have to crunch the time in order to find any time to post anything. Once this summer comes and gets in full swing, I should be back to [...]
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 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 [...]
Alright, the last three weeks have been a bit of a strenuous ordeal. Finally, I’m beginning to pick up some time here and there where I can start blogging again. When I thought I’d have a ton of time to blog — spring break — my computer ended up getting stolen and I had no [...]
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 [...]
