Next week Casey might be hearing boo's and a chant of we want Green.

I'm guessing at least 75% of the fans at Miller Park have no idea who Green is. And knowing the Brewers, Melvin will act on it thinking the fans mean Sean Green.

I really wonder if Casey has outlived his usefulness. We discovered a diamond in the rough and got two nice years from him. At some point, Melvin has to cut his losses.

 

I was praying we traded him last year. How nice would that have been to get 1 and a half nice years out of him, and got a few prospects to boot.

Anyone else annoyed with how BA and Rock never call out the Brewers for dumb mistakes? They're always "tipping their hat" to the other team. Shut up already.

I was reading an older article on Adam McCalvy today kind of talking about this. He said the announcers are employees of the Brewers but he's an employee of MLB Media. When he's writing his usual stuff for mlb.com, he can basically say what he wants. But if he writes for the brewers.com, he would have to be more careful about what he says. I'm sure the same applies to BA and Schroeder. It is definitely annoying though. I think they could at least act like they are impartial every once in awhile.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

I guarantee that is the case. Just scrolling through different comment sections today (Facebook, JSOnline, Brew Crew Ball), the majority of people were calling for Gamel to be called up to take over for McGehee. I understand that most people don't follow the minors like we do but most fans should know that Gamel (one of our top "prospects") is being groomed to take over for Prince's departure. Then again, these same fans still think we should (and actually have a shot to) resign Prince.

yes Casey you should bunt because you are a GIDP machine when Prince is on first
I tried to log in on my iPad. Turns out it was an etch-a-sketch and I don't own an iPad. Also, I'm out of vodka.

I think there have been quite a few times, if you listen close and read between the lines, that BA and Rock have been about as critical/tell-it-lie-it-is as they are allowed to be.

Yeah as soon as I finished typing my sentence, I heard Schroeder say something about why the number 5 spot is so important after Prince got walked. I would think he's referencing the fact that McGehee has been awful there.

Hart and Lucroy with base hits, McGehee and Betancourt with fielder's choices. I would like to see Hart, Lucroy, McGehee, Betancourt for one game. I don't understand why that would be so hard.
