Currently on the hotel shuttle from Billy's airport (driver is a bit odd). Lets end this thing with a W tonight!

After 'covering' the Stars for this season's Link Report, I definitely had the assumption that Stinson was another upper-80s/low-90s sinkerballer. That was exclusively due to his journeyman MiLB stats prior to 2012 and the fact that he didn't get promoted to Nashville despite being a strong performer all season at Huntsville.

 

I was very pleasantly surprised to see him working with a sinker around 94 mph in his first MLB game this season. Looking forward to seeing how he fares tonight. I'm guessing he'll be yet another arm in the Nashville rotation that'll add to the SP depth for 2013.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Ahh, the simple pleasure of listening to Bob Uecker...gonna miss that the next 4 months.

Nice move by Roenicke for taking Aramis out at the beginning of the inning at the .300 mark.

[AZBrewCrew]

Ishikawa just missed it!

[jason21nl]

Will not be disappointed to see Loe gone.

[TURBO]

I hope that is the last we see of Loe in a Brewers uniform...

 

On his way out the door, he also ruined Braun's shot at the RBI crown if Braun can't come up big here sometime in the last 4 innings... Of course, the fact that Loe was even in the game to screw it up for Braun is another issue all together.

I can't think of a more fitting end to the season than the bullpen blowing a 6 run lead......

[pebadger]

Have a good offseason, everyone. I just hope I'm not back writing huge posts around the time of the Heisman award again this year.

[MNBrew]

The one silver lining to tonight's bullpen overuse caused by scratching Gallardo (which seems more like 1-game protection, not really 2-year workload, however logical their rationale) is this:

 

Roenicke at least didn't put Livan Hernandez out there.

 

Point? At least they used a bunch of over-used arms which have been pretty productive for the most part (Loe aside), not the most worthless one who's shown no skill at all lately in getting anyone out without giving up exponentially more runs before getting pulled.

[Outlander]

I went to the game last night and it was good to see Stinson pitch well again in his limited playing time. Still a little perplexed with bringing him up after seeing some of his numbers in the minors but maybe he could be their long man at some point in the future, certainly can't be much worse than Hernandez or Dillard was this year.

[AZBrewCrew]

Does anyone know who the players were last night that were giving stuff (hats,balls,a couple underarmour shirts) away? I was up in the Loge Level and couldnt really see from where I was at,but it didnt seem to be any of the regulars. It was a fun (mostly) ride this year that fell just a bit short. On a side note, I *think* I saw Maldy (or someone similar in appearance) at the airport this morning.
