June 09, 2010 01:29 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MBJack and I discuss future Brewers Dylan Covey and Hunter Morris. Dylan Covey video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=8778307 Hunter Morris video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=8080130&content_id=7461545
Brewers Review: Episode 7 -- Chris Capuano Makes it to the Majors, the Angels as a Possible Destination for Prince, Questions Linger about the Rotation, Plus Our Two Prospects of the Week
June 04, 2010 04:01 - 29 minutes - 40.6 MBAfter a long and arduous journey back to the majors, Chris Capuano struggles in his first start. You can't tell me you didn't expect some more adversity for Cappy. Bush gets bumped and Parra gets a second chance. The Angels might be a match for the Brewers if they want to trade for Prince Fielder. Tony Reagins, the Angels GM, has shown a willingness to trade young pitching talent for an established 1st baseman (see Mark Texieria trade http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/07/mark-teix...
Brewers Review: Episode 6 -- Struggles Continue, More Macha Questions, an Empty Bench, and a Full DL.
May 22, 2010 23:40 - 41 minutes - 56.8 MBIn this podcast, lots of Brewers injuries and bad behavior to discuss. Jack and I consider whether Carlos Gomez was out of line in his homerun celebration. http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=8234261 We also discuss whether Ed Rapuano, the home plate umprie, went too far as he started to jaw with Dave Bush. http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=8226363 My weekly prospect is Cutter Dykstra, who is slowly regaining form. http://www.basebal...
Brewers Review: Episode 5 -- Is Prince Fielder a good leader? Who replaces Doug Davis in the Rotation? Will Ken Macha be fired?
May 17, 2010 01:29 - 37 minutes - 51.5 MBThis week in podcasting: Prince Fielder's hints at his displeasure with the pitching staff. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/93832669.html Doug Davis goes to the DL. If the Brewers need to replace his spot in the rotation will they give Suppan or Parra a chance. In addition a number of options exist in AAA (including some not named Chris Capuano). http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/team.cgi?id=41863 Jack and I discuss two prospects. I discuss AA's Caleb Gindl and his imp...
Brewers Review Episode 4 -- This is only the second half of the episode.
May 10, 2010 23:29 - 9 minutes - 13.6 MBI apologize for the messed up audio in the earlier post. THis is the second part of the episode. I fixed the audio, so every thing should be good. Download this episode if you would like only the parts where the audio cut out. Also, here's a link to a blog post at the Journal Sentinal fanblogs, where a write discusses Doug Davis bad luck. He does a much more thorough job then we have. I recommend it. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/fanblogs/93268689.html
Brewers Review: Episode 4 [Audio Problem now fixed]-- Latroy Hawkins' injury, Stupid Cubs fans, and Greg Zaun's website and his pants
May 09, 2010 23:56 - 31 minutes - 42.9 MBLatroy Hawkins suffered an injury this week. Jack and I discuss whether this injury is real, or if it's more along the lines of Jeff Suppan's "sore neck" (aka an injury invented to give an old pitcher some time to regroup). We talk about some of the reasons to be optimistic about the Brewers pitching staff, including another quality start from Randy Wolf (ERA 3.95), and more solid work from Yovanni Gallardo (ERA 3.07). Plus, Minor League news with an update on Chris Capuano, and hi...
Brewers Review: Episode 3 -- Suppan's move to the bull pen, Narveson's first start, some minor league action and Doug Davis' incredible bad luck
May 01, 2010 19:27 - 22 minutes - 31.1 MBIn the podcast, I mention Davis' bad luck and how to account for that luck statistically. FIP or Fielding Independent Pitching is the statistic that I use to look at what a pitcher's ERA should be without all the bad luck. Here's a more technical definition from The Harball Times: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/statpages/glossary/#fip If you're curious to see the pitch data for Trevor Hoffman look here: http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=1035&position=P Fangraphs.com ...
Brewers Review: Episode 2 -- NL Central News, Brewers Batting Order, Minor Leaguers, and yes, a Milwaukee Brewers Haiku
April 23, 2010 03:10 - 27 minutes - 12.6 MBPodcast number 2 features a discussion of Edinson Volquez's suspension, Carlos Zambrano's move to the bullpen, Manager Ken Macha's constantly shifting lineup, and Brewers minor leaguers Chris Cody and Lorenzo Cain. From the brewers.com site, here is how the Brewers 20-0 defeat of the Pirates ranks historically: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100422&content_id=9500206&vkey=news_mil&fext=.jsp&c_id=mil This a good summary of the Zambrano move with lots of quot...
Brewers Review: Episode 1 -- Yovanni Gallardo's Contract Extension, Jim Edmonds' solid start, and more
April 16, 2010 03:22 - 31 minutes - 43.9 MBHere is our first podcast. We plan on posting a new one once every other week. I mentioned some things about pitches per plate appearance in the show, and wanted to follow up with a link to the leaders in Pit/PA last year: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2009-pitches-batting.shtml Jim Edmonds' career average is 4.08 Pit/PA, which is well above the major league average of 3.75 and would have ranked him 28th best last year. For reference, the top three Brewers last year...
