Random Thoughts

Yesterday I went to my last Brewers baseball game of the season, and it left with a weird feeling in my stomach, and a few thoughts in my head.
  • I am worried for the Brewers this year. THey have lost 6 of 8. They only scored 6 total runs in 4 games against the Padres (one of the worst teams). The Phillies are now only 3 1/2 back and we have to play them 3 times this coming week, and they have an easier schedule than us the rest of the way. Also, the team looks as if they are hardly trying, and they don't care. They were getting no-hit against a terrible pitcher going into the 8th inning, and no one seemed to care or to adjust themselves at the plate.
  • Ned Yost really is god-awful. he has no idea what he is doing within a game. I am also pretty sure that the players no he is a joke, and they don't follow his lead at all.
  • The Brewers really need to do everything in the power to resign CC. They are just a mediocre team without their pitching staff. However, next year with a rotation as CC, Gallardo, Parra, Bush, Suppan; they look pretty good. They need some changes in their everyday lineup, and their batting order. Order should be HArt, Hardy, Braun, Fielder, Cameron, Hall, Weeks, Kendall.
  • I really think they should NOT resign Cameron. He is doing jsut fine, despite his BA being a bit low. However, they really need that $10 million. I say Gapler or Gwynn can everyday play Center field, that or move Hart over to center, and bring up an outfielder.
  • They need to bring up Gamel to play third next year.
  • Kendall needs to rest more, you can see it in his game that he is tired. Plus Rivera does great every time he goes in randomly, imagine if he played everyday
  • I think they should move FIelder and Weeks this offseason. THen move Hardy to second, bring up Escobar, and my crazy proposal is play RIvera as your everyday 1st baseman. Then this off season resign CC and go after another bat that plays outfield, first base, or third base (in that order).

Sign CC, move Hardy to 3rd. Escobar can play SS. Gamel at 1st. Let Cameron off, though they wont, and let your boy "Gapler" out in center. Gwynn is a AAA player at best. Weeks and fielder can get going, though right now I would keep Weeks over Fielder. If both go, the hurricane Hernan Iberian can play 2nd.
