Wow, pitching Maldy. Really is a whole new Roenicke this year.

[Dead Simmons]

My announcer just said a position player was on the mound for the Brews! What's the 411?

Martin Maldonado is our backup catcher who just pitched

OK, thanks. Smart move by the skipper.

 

Uh oh...impending rally brewing?

[PrinceFielderx1]

This game is still going on???????????

2-3 wims on the road aganist the cards if antone would have told some here that it would happen everyone would be estatic.

Are you imbibing?

 

He always writes like that. So I guess I still don't know the answer to that question.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Maldanado threw as high as 86mph, has a good changeup, and can throw a knuckle ball. scoreless inning. We found a new role for him. Mop up.

[Dead Simmons]

Good luck in Ohio Guys.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Even if Wang isn't DL'd, which I'm not sure how realistic a faux injury actually is, I'd like to see Figaro recalled and Braun DL'd if he's not going to be able to play tomorrow.

 

He was scheduled to start tonight for Nashville, if he does then he won't be the guy, he wouldn't be ready for innings again until Sunday.

 

Yeah, I'm just spitballin' in my head...looking for ways to actually have a bench RR can use, a bullpen that has a long guy option until Wang is rested again, or finding a couple reliever prospects that the Brewers could send Pittsburgh's way to make a deal for Wang so he can develop in the minors where he belongs right now. If arms like Jungmann and Bradley are deserving of promotions to AA and AAA, then some of these other minor league pitchers should be squeezed out, anyway.

 

Wang's got the TJ history, so I'd like to avoid sending him out for 70-pitch mop up sessions at inconsistent intervals...which appears to be what his MLB role currently is.

sorry auto check from cell phone i have edited it again once i got home. so what the basic is if anyone would have been told that the Brewers would have taken 2/3 from the cards shorthanded everyone would be estatic.
