I have to admit, Bill’s reports overall were a bit better this week. I won’t let his scouting report on Todd Wellemeyer slip through the cracks, however.
Power pitcher
Converted reliever
13-5
I guess “Power pitcher” could be somewhat helpful. It implies the guy throws pretty hard. Doesn’t do much else though… Like what pitches he has.
Converted reliever. Completely useless unless you’re doing some sort of Todd Wellemeyer professional biography. Imagine Skaalen: “Alright guys, this pitcher used to be a reliever. So… Act accordingly.”
13-5 was referring to the Cardinals record in games Wellemeyer started dating back to last season. Nothing like using good ol’ wins and losses to show absolutely nothing about a pitcher’s effectiveness. Off the top of my head, Jeff Suppan allowed six runs in four innings in an outing against the Mets this year, and did not get the loss. On the other side, I know there was some dude back in the day who threw a no-hitter and got the loss.
Just looked it up. In 1964 Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45’s threw a complete game no-hitter and lost 1-0. Ouch-town.

Ok let us just talk about the HEAT for a second…
I am not a baseball mind…nowhere near it to be exact…
All I know is…During the B.C. of the season I said…or questioned “Will Ryan Braun be the Brewers top slugger this year???” and although the A.D. is still eons away… it is close enough to cause a deep sea digger to trench an automatic reverse-Mets collapse (Reverse Brewers would hit to close to home…)
So the point is… FUDGE (YO!!!!! YO!!!!!! Damn…life is a b#tch!) And then it goes something like this (Only Ryan Braun can fire up the grill…(And I am not talking Boca Burgers) Here…I am talking “GET UP! GET UP….GET OUTTA HERE….GONE….BACK TO BACK HOMERS…the top of the order is now chasing the Cubs…Here we go…it is October in Milwaukee and 44k+ are loving it!”…welcome back baseball in the Brew City…
Welcome Back… A time where only “Vaughns Valley” Lives in the minds of the past young Milwaukeeans lives…
The new have found a New One!
We have hope and it may crush our collective baseball hearts but guess what…there are more of us now then ever… THANK YOU!!!
When I was a kid I remember my Dad taking me to a game (this was during the Molitor and Yount years in the early 90’s) and all we did was sit in traffic only to have my dad tell my that “the game is sold out”…you know what…that was the first time I realized that I lived in a Big City… because I will never forget that… Mr. 3000 (NOt the MoVie), the crane collapse…… “Vaughns Valley” (REPEAAAAT!!!)…and beyond…
Milwaukee Lives for the Brew Crew…and I don’t want to have to tell my kids about the time Milwaukee didn’t have a baseball team so I had to drive down to Chi Town to watch a game!!!!!!!
Much love Brew Crew… Much Love!!!

The first time I read this I had no idea what you were even trying to say. Then I noticed the time of the post, and it made more sense.
Awesome.
