The dynamic duo is still together, but at least Weeks moved them down a spot. If the Rockies are smart, Rickie will walk 4 times tonight :-)

[bucksman4]

RR will never learn. I've resigned myself to the fact that we'll be seeing these guys in the starting lineup until Melvin dumps both of them this off-season.

[brwrsfan]

Is it impossible to have a lineup with Green, Weeks and Hairston? This is about winning right? How about putting your best players in the lineup once and awhile?

[Invader3K]

I don't get why Hairston can't get some starts at shortstop if Kotsay could start repeatedly in the outfield earlier this season.

[pretendastronaut]

I'm guessing Rickie may not be slotted for the whole game yet. I'm positive RR said Hairston would get some looks at SS when Rickie got back fully.

[hawing]

I'm guessing Rickie may not be slotted for the whole game yet.

That's my guess too. I'm OK with their being cautious with Rickie's return.

1-0 for Tuesday, Brewers. Also, Let's Go Bucs! even though it means rooting for Jeff "Thugmaster HBP" Karstens. But it's either him or Chris Carpenter, so that makes it easier.

Esmil Rogers 6-5, ERA-6.26

 

Anyone with an ERA over 6 is destined to toss 7 shutout innings.

[Invader3K]

Nah, they're going to knock this bum around. No excuses, get a win tonight!

[davemakovec]

Yeah, I predict a rude welcome at Miller Park for this guy.

[logan82]

I'm guessing Rickie may not be slotted for the whole game yet. I'm positive RR said Hairston would get some looks at SS when Rickie got back fully.

Yeah they can't put Green in or slide Hairston over to 2B when Weeks gets pulled.

[liveforoctober]

Random question ... hindsight is always 20/20 but I remember a nice little battle on these boards over whether we should have traded Casey this past off-season when his value was seemingly as high as it was ever going to be.

 

Looking back, what kind of trade market would there have been had we decided to pull that trigger? .. What would have been the return?

[jjkoestler]

The trade value of Casey McGehee

[jjkoestler]

No ilovebeer yet so.... 3-2 STL. 2 RBI for Carpenter

[jwill535]

Looks like a 5ip night for Zach, no control whats so ever.

[TheBwaz]

Wonder where FSN stashed the strike zone/pitch count.

[dlk9s]

I like ESPN's hit animation on its Gamecast, but my lord, the pitch locations make no sense at all. I have absolutely no idea what the grid represents, as based on the balls and strikes and their comparison to MLB Gameday's locations, it almost looks random.

[derflotr]

Two strikes and you're out

[jjkoestler]

Was Rickie safe? Why the hell is Ed sending him?

[owbc]

Only a perfect throw gets him, and it was a perfect throw.

[wOOgiE22]

Looked like he was safe from that angle!

[Raw Biz]

He was safe. Ump blew the call. He tagged him after Weeks had already touched the plate.

[jjkoestler]

Yuni bounces out on the first pitch. Shocking.

[derflotr]

He was safe, but it wasn't an easy call.

[owbc]

Inconclusive video evidence in my opinion. Looked out on one angle and safe on the other.

 

Also, lets give Yuni the credit he is due, that was the second pitch that he bounced out on.
