the best thing about listening

to a Brewers game on XM is that when the other team does something good, you hear dead space for 5 seconds or so because Uecker can’t stand to say what it is. the guy is funny.

Same issues as last season

Looked kind of lost in ST, started slow, so-so command, heater off by several MPH, no putaway capability. Then mid-May came. By June he was baaaaaaack.

I’m confident he’ll bounce back. I don’t forsee any injury-related issues here.

but as a reason to score, Ned Yost puts a dish full of food behind home plate for Fielder.

How do you think he got 50 home runs last season? Yost is a smart man

FSN Wisconsin excuses

I’m blessed with listening to White Bread and Billy Show (Brian Anderson and Bill Schoreder). I might be one of the few that have liked the Brewers TV guys in the past (yes I liked Daron Sutton, especially when he started the Sausage Race 5K). However, they are just making some stupid comments tonight. I’m not saying they aren’t plausible because they are, but still. It’s baseball. Things even out. Take a gander:

-Conspiracy theory because the Cubs don’t have to play the Red Sox and the Yankees.
-Cubs are greedy because they want more night games
-No three city road trips for the Cubs

Like I said, plausible, but still excuses. It’s baseball. Things work out.

Lou complains about how his middle relief isn't...

...getting the job done, and then he burns Marmol in the late innings of a blowout and refuses to use him when the team is in tight jams.

What I wouldn’t give to spend half an hour going over a leverage chart with Lou sometime. He’d probably just punch me in the face a few times for my troubles, but whatever.
