MLB Thread Number 3, 2007

OK, they changed it on Yahoo and made it unearned. It was a trick question, apparently.

 

I have seen many a pitcher get their ERA deflated by their own errors.

 

Imagine how pissed you'd be if you owned them both in fantasy. LIKE ME.

 

I dunno, I just have seen that crapola happen time after time.

 

Sounds like Dave Stieb in 1979. He started his first full season as a pitcher in Dunedin (Class A) and went 5-0. He was promoted to Syracuse (AAA) and went 5-2. He was in Toronto by the end of June, went 8-8 the rest of the way and was in the bigs for good at age 21.

 

Doesn't matter who made the error. The run is uneanred...or as Red Foley would say NOT earned

 

The Brewers aren't having a good road trip.

 

Dynamite Magazine! Awesome! Totally awesome!!!!

 

The Brewers are being exposed already (except for JJ fucking Hardy!).
They'll probably win the Central by default...with 85 or fewer wins ... and get blown out in the playoffs.

 

Way too soon to say they are exposed, Spnited. The Mets took two of three, but the runs scored in the series were dead even, a blowut per team and the Mets won a one-run game. Good on the Mets, but hardly indicative that they were clearly better, at least in that series.

The Phillies have won all three so far, but Derrick Turnbow is the direct cause of two losses.

Still, wins are the bottom line, and the Brewers haven't delivered on the roadie. So I understand the doubts.

 

The Brewers are still 9-10 on the road ... .500 on the road isn't too shabby. Still, that being said, the Brew Crew are 17-8 vs. the woeful Central (hitting St. Louis at a time when the Cards were emotionally bereft) and 6-6 vs. the East, which includes a sweep vs. the pitiful Nats (sorry Moddy) at home.

They have 122 games left. A 60-62 record would put Milwaukee at 85 wins, which is more than attainable ... they have a decent lineup, OK pitching (Suppan really is no better than average, but I like Sheets & Capuano) and a pretty good bullpen, as long as their arms don't fall off by August.

 

Just busting you Bubbs...
that's a good young team but the youth could be the problem come October
