Its all the rage . . . get on board!!

 

I'm currently doing my best to repress terrible terrible 4th of July series with Pirates last year . . . .

 

Let's go Tomo!! Keep the ball in the park today!!

[Cyanogen5]

Sorry, I am a chemist...we do thing differently in the pharmaceutical business. Normally I write the date as:

 

1-July-2005...so I translated that into 1/7/2005 I will fix it!

I typically join the game day threads further upstream, so I haven't previously seen the link to the StatPack before. It is quite cool, to say the least. Is that a feature provided to ESPN subscribers or is it there for everyone?

 

In any case, I appreciate the link.

[Cyanogen5]

The StatPack is there for everyone, and is customized for that days game. I used to print them out all of the time and would sometimes keep score at home. I don't do it as often anymore, but it is fun to do sometimes when you don't have anything else going on. It is one of the nice things ESPN has added over the last couple of years that, surprisingly, isn't a pay feature.

Oh no! It's Redman, a dreaded soft-tossing lefty.

[ja002h]

Oh no! It's Redman, a dreaded soft-tossing lefty.

 

That should be good for 3H, 0R.

Rumor has it the Pirates are going to experiment with the length between the bases and put them 27.432 meters apart.

 

Edit: By the way I have a good feeling about tonights game.

[ja002h]

I predict we will continue last night's onslaught and round the wickets at a frantic pace.

[clancyphile]

I expect to see the Crew come out on the short end of this one...

 

Redman's had our number this year.

[Kraft4a3]

I don't know how much people put into the Pythagorean Win % Calculation but the Brewers should be at .513.

 

imo, Ned needs a .500 or better 2nd half to make sure he has the same job next year.

 

Should the Brewers just forget about trying to play small ball? It seems they can't, and then they continue to take themselves out of innings.

 

Lead-off doubles need to score 75% of the time.

[Cooper]

I predict that our batsmen will deliver a jolly-good thrashing upon these bloody Pirates. At least 2 balls will sail over the boundary ropes for sixes, I say. Good Show!

 

Let's just hope our bowlers stay the course and lead our gents to superb victory!

 

Cheers!

[rluzinski]

Lead-off doubles need to score 75% of the time.

 

Using statistics from 1999-2002, a leadoff double scored only 63% of the time. What if the pitcher walks 2 guys to leadoff an inning? Only 64% of the time does that team go on to score atleast one run.

I think I'm going to the game tonight, but not sure which shirt to grab. Maybe I'll grab the new logo since everyone else will take the old one.

[WV Brew]

Jack Wilson is having a Terrible year! Barely ahead of Hardy in OPS. He had a poor first season similar to what Hardy is now doing but seemed to be improving steadily until this year. Anyone with more knowledge of the Pirates know about this situation?

[Ennder]

He overachieved last year and slumped to start this year is my theory on it. He's a 270ish hitter without much power or speed.

[berniebrewer4life]

Good game tonight, can't wait to see tomo make up for his bad couple of starts.

[WV Brew]

He's a 270ish hitter without much power or speed.

 

He did have 64 extra base hits last year.

[GoodGod262]

Yea and those 64 extra base hits seemed to come in the games against the Brewers, lol.

[AJAY]

I hate to sound greedy, but the Brewers really need to start distancing themselves from the Pirates. We have three games at home against a slumping Pirates team. Time for the Beer Makers to step it up and take care of business.

 

They have seen Mark Redman several times now. They have to start hitting him. No more excuses.

[Bucky Rules]

For the record -- I went on the game thread yesterday and for the first time I guaranteed a victory (so I'm 1 for 1 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif ). I am NOT guaranteeing a victory tonight. But, I'll be rooting for one.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[greeg35]

I believe you. Let's go!
