OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Ugh, Milwaukee

[td_ice]

Pedro K's. That's OK, Neil is going to drive in some runs.

EDIT: well that didn't happen....Neil pops up. Although he should be on first with a walk. Awful strike call during that AB.

 

[Gooch]

I am nervous about the PTBNL.

[Harv]

Barmey in. Damn.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I am nervous about the PTBNL.

Likewise...

And of course a Brewer spikes our guy.

 

[td_ice]

Well hopefully the 'substantial part' is coming form the Mets people, and is similar to "a pretty good player"-esque in the Bobby Hill vernacular, haha.

 

[td_ice]

We've got trouble, RIGHT HERE IN RIVER CITY.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Respect the arm

Edit: Ugh. Good out at the plate at least.

 

[td_ice]

Brewers take the lead, 3-2.

 

[Cherpak]

I for one cannot wait for Walker's deal to expire.

 

[Cherpak]

Steve Blass, baseballs version of Steigy.

 

[Beauner]

I for one cannot wait for Walker's deal to expire.

He's going to be re-signed...

 

[td_ice]

Who would have thought that at any point in the season, this being 3 starts in for the staff, that Volquez would be the best starter so far? That's good and that's bad.

 

[Cherpak]

He's going to be re-signed...

I seriously doubt it. He has what 2 yrs left? They have already tried to re-sign him a couple of seasons ago and he turned them down. He isn't worth what he thinks he is.

As some on here were so fond of trading Alvarez with several yrs left then Walker can also be traded this summer to bring in some real talent.

Not necessarily bad that he's been the best but bad that nobody else is even close

Volquez at 1.71
Liriano 3.96
Morton 4.12
Cole 4.74
Rodriguez 7.31

Goes without saying that has to change drastically.

 

[OnMyOwn]

We got Ike Davis? Sweet

 

[Cherpak]

If given the choice I would much rather sacrifice Volquez's season for the entire rest of the starting rotation.

I'm glad he is doing well, but I didn't think the rest of the staff would be blowing it already.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Cmon Pedro, change the game right here

Yeah exactly. Expectations have been completely reversed to start the year.

Yep, and no Taillon on the way to save the day.

 

[Cherpak]

If Wandy can't get himself together soon, it might not be a bad idea to bring Cumpton up. Always felt that he doesn't get enough consideration from the Pirates.

 

[Cherpak]

Lol wow

 

[Cherpak]

Kudos to Alvarez for keeping his concentration. lol

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Just in case we needed proof that this wasn't our night

 

[Big McLargehuge]

New thread up.
