Your best two hurlers throw 4 of 7. Yes, I agree not time to panic. But I would agrue that making changes is not "panicking". The faster the young players can face big league talent the faster they will progress. You have to make changes to this team.

He is groomed for a starter’s role, I would rather see him keep his focus and continue to develop in this role. This is a great team, but they are not going to win every game. Teams go on skids and we just have to see how they battle out of it. I like what Wuz had to say earlier, let’s see what Soup and Benny can do. But let’s not start to panic and risking the future by calling up “prospects” before it is necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-84052833143907240372007-05-16T16:14:00.000-05:002007-05-16T16:14:00.000-05:00I think putting Gallardo in a long relief role, a ...I think putting Gallardo in a long relief role, a la Elmer Dessens where he pitches only in blowouts, is not a good use of his abilities. He should only be brought up if a starting rotation spot opens up. It seemed like Dessens went a month between appearances earlier this year - is that good for Yo and his professional development? I argue no.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-2832658573573890082007-05-16T09:09:00.000-05:002007-05-16T09:09:00.000-05:00Matt, I think Dessens has definitely pitched himse...Matt, I think Dessens has definitely pitched himself out of a spot, and the team sent Capellan & Aquino down to AAA for doing a WAY better job that ED. I don't want Gallardo to be in the rotation, I think our rotation is the only thing on this team that is fine the way it is. But I think Gallardo could get some experience in the majors and do exactly what ED does, and more than likely do it better. As for the rest of the team, overall it doesn't suck but it sure does suck right now. We have a huge lead in the division after a losing streak, and all every Brewer fan is talking about this morning is MAJOR lineup changes i.e. Gwynn, Braun, and Gross.

And after watching Gwynn really start to take care of business, you guys are correct, Gross has become ridiculously expendible. <BR/><BR/>You know what's great about this year: 3 game losing streak...and the next two starters are Suppan and Sheets...the streak will end.woziszeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651583560586474837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-12541059155048510062007-05-16T07:57:00.000-05:002007-05-16T07:57:00.000-05:00I don't think the team sucks - things are just eve...I don't think the team sucks - things are just evening out a little bit. They've been in every game on this trip except for the finale against the Mets. Hopefully Soup can clot the bleeding tonight...and I wouldn't bring Gallardo up unless someone pitches himself out of the rotation, which hasn't happened yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-81799114101152209112007-05-16T07:33:00.000-05:002007-05-16T07:33:00.000-05:00Can they just get rid of Gross, CC, TG (Grafanino,...Can they just get rid of Gross, CC, TG (Grafanino, not Gwynn.), and Dessens? Honestly, couldn't Gallardo do EXACTLY what ED does? Can't Braun do EXACTLY what CC does? Maybe not defensively, but Christ a hit from CC last night would've been a run, and him getting thrown out at 3rd the night before cost us a run. The guy is actually REMOVING runs from the scoreboard. I never thought it was possible to actually have negative production. This team sucks, play Gwynn, Hart, Braun, Gallardo, and all the other kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-40736414334313943342007-05-15T22:02:00.000-05:002007-05-15T22:02:00.000-05:00Nice to see Yost get tossed in the fourth - I gues...Nice to see Yost get tossed in the fourth - I guess he figured since he only managed 4 innings last night, he'd do the same tonight...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
