Hardy can lead off just fine. Even with a crappy BA he has an OK OBP. Since June 25th, Hardy's OBP has been .355. Provided the "no 2 lefties in a row" rule is still in effect for next year:

 

Hardy

Weeks

Jenkins

Lee

Fielder

Hall

Branyan/Cirillo

Miller

 

You could flip Weeks and Hardy, but I'd rather Weeks have teh chance for an extra base runner on.

what a terrible 1-2 pitch

[JoeH33]

Thats right, the Reds own Tomo too.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[rluzinski]

Ohka really isn't that good of a player guys. TRADE HIM.

[endaround]

He's better than Eveland right now

[Brian the Automator]

Honestly, i'm surprised he made the trade deadline. Not a bad pitcher in a park that can hold his flyballs, so hopefully he can maybe be a throw-in with Overbay... too valuable to non-tender, I guess.

I'd still take Dana over Tomo any day. Tomo just scares me every start, you never know if you're going to get the Ohka that pitches 7 good innings or the one who gives up like 4 HR's in 2.

Ohka really isn't that good of a player guys. TRADE HIM.

 

He would have been the ace on a few Brewers staffs in recent memory...as a fourth starter he ain't too bad.

Quick question about the manual scoreboards on the left and right field walls at Miller Park:

 

What do the two numbers in front of the team name abbreviation mean?

 

For example: if NYY defeats BOS 3-2, the scoreboard might read (and I'm making up numbers):

 

62 NYY 3

27 BOS 2

 

I do notice that the numbers in front of the team names don't change, but I just can't figure it out. I'm sure it's an obvious explanation, but I'm not too bright.

[rluzinski]

starting pitcher's number.

[cirillo26]

I don't think those numbers change at all. The number is the uniform number of that teams starting pitcher.

[JoeH33]

Man Billy's been on fire this month, hittin .372 with a .982 OPS

[rluzinski]

I don't get Ohka's numbers at all. 11% of his flyballs result in a HR, which isn't high at all. He IS a flyball pitcher, but hasn't been an extreme one this year. Since coming to Milwaukee his K's have skyrocketed and his walks are down.

Off the SS's glove... RBI single for Miller. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!

 

YOST. Resist the temptation for a squeeze play!

[heresrobin]

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

 

And that a baby D-Mill!

[JoeH33]

Alright Damian!

Back up 4-3

Man, I have really taken a liking to Bill Hall more than ever as of late.

[heresrobin]

You got to be kidding me!!!

 

Bill Hall with the late break. Risky, but I like it. He can do no wrong lately.

[jloos19]

I love Bill Hall so much. It's so cool when he gets pumped after a big play.

[JoeH33]

Alright! Make that 5-3!

[jloos19]

Encarnacion is gonna be a nice player for Cincy at 3rd.

[skappleton2002]

I was just going to say that, but you bet me to it. Hall has heart, and he comes to play.

[cirillo26]

Remember when the Brewers had Javier Valentin in Spring Training?

 

They decided too trade him and keep Eddie Perez and Keith Osik as their catchers.

 

I wonder if anyone regrets that now?

[cirillo26]

Ohka!!!!

 

Pulling a Cappy!!!
