4/14/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cardinals (Wells): 6:10 PM CDT

[jloos19]

I would agree with that thread in the Major League forum and say Weeks is out of his slump. That was out of here very quickly.

[AJAY]

Weeks must have hit it really hard because Uecker did not even have a chance to say "Get Up, Get Outta Here, Gone".

[statman0007]

RICKIE!

[TheEndless7]

Ueck sounded surprised that it was even a homerun, he didn't expect it to go

[Team Canada]

Braun 3 HR, Yo 4IP 8K -- Geez, we have an embarrassment of riches. Gets me giddy just thinking about seeing those boys soon..

[DHonks]

also, to show the ruling from yesterday's IGT, thanks to brewers.com:

 

Up in the air: Capuano, the Brewers' union representative, said he had not heard anything about rescheduling Friday's rainout. The Brewers only travel to St. Louis one other time this season, from July 27-29, and both teams are off July 30.

 

But adding a game that day would mean the Brewers would play 27 consecutive days coming out of the All-Star break. The basic agreement says teams should not be scheduled to play more than 20 consecutive days, and it was Capuano's understanding that Brewers players would get to vote on whether to accept adding a game.

 

"They haven't said anything to us yet," Capuano said.

BRING HIM UP

No thanks. Errors kill teams, period. No matter how great he has been hitting in AAA, he won't make up for errors with his bat as a rookie.

 

At the same time, I hope he can get the E's fixed because he is going to be a great player and would make our infield one of the most talented in baseball.

I think Ryan was just getting the error out of the way so he could hit a 3rd homer in the game

It's scary how well some posters here know the Milwaukee Brewers and their satellites.

[DHonks]

interesting to see Gallardo with only 54 pitches through 4.

[craigharmann]

Does Yo come up this year at all, or is he in AAA all year?

[jloos19]

Hey kids! This is Soup, and this is my friend, Scooter! A changeup is a fastball that goes realllly reallly slloooooowwwwww.

That randomly popped in my head from the NLCS and I thought I should share it.

[Ennder]

I can't imagine he comes up as long as Vargas is effective and the rotation is healthy, unless we trade someone mid season.

[Team Canada]

Probably depends how well he does, and how healthy our staff stays. If there are no injuries, and everyone's doing a good job, then there's far less pressure to bring him up. If someone goes down, obvoiusly that speeds things up. At the very least I'd assume he'll be up when rosters expand.

[craigharmann]

I think Yo stays in AAA all year, and that's a great thing. The only thing that could hamper that would be health in the majors.

Just a guess, but unless one of our starters gets injured or falters, I think he'll be in AAA all year but could come up to be in the bullpen if there is a playoff run

[TheCrew07]

In 3 ABs for Jenks he's seen a total of 7 pitches.

[brettac1]

I think he'll be up by mid-August. Vargas will be dealt at or around the deadline and Villanueva will take a couple starts in his place while Yo gets himself set for a rotation spot in Milwaukee.

[raven2479]

Through 5 IP, Yo 10K 1BB 3h 0ER =DEALING!

[littledoc83]

Yo shutout in tact through 5 innings .... 10 Strikeouts now.

 

He has thrown quite a few pitches though... probably will not go many more innings.

[craigharmann]

Is it me or does it seem like Rickie is playing solid defense? I know, small sample size and all, but he's been pretty consistent.

[Ennder]

I thought our defense was supposed to hurt Suppan this year, not help him.

Interesting. I'd prefer to keep Vargas. You can never have too much pitching especially with Sheets only under contract through '08 . What would we get for Vargas that would be better than having 7 or 8 legit starters?

[tigerbrew]

Yo doubles, 2 for 3 now.

[BrewCrewForever]

On a bit of a side note, although it involves Braun. I know in ST he wore #75, what is his real #?

[littledoc83]

Yo now 2-3 at the plate... this time a double on the first pitch.
