I can give the Neddy Bear a pass for yesterday, and maybe even today. But you cannot bench arguably the hottest hitter in baseball for your personal man-boy slave. It is almost like these two. Seriously, does the God-Rock kid bring you coffee in the morning, and shine your shoes while reading the paper to you as well? Would you please pass the soap, Gabe honey... If you look at the above link, you can see that they have roughly the same number of at bats. Other than that, it is like bears and puppies. One will likely rip your starter to shreds, and the other just wants to curl up with his daddy and have his belly scratched.
The recognition of platoon split statistics has done a lot of good things for baseball. Just look at Kevin Mench and Geoff Jenkins. Gross' split looks like this. I assume that it is just an error with the site, but maybe it does not list the Gabester's vs lefty numbers...saying that he is just bad and should be on the first beer truck out of town. Either way, those are some pretty shitty numbers, even compared to a bar league softball player. Not to mention the fact that Kapler is faster, albeit older, and has a better arm than Gross. On the bright side, Gross is the grittiest, grinderific, hustlicious player on the team.
The only thing that Gabe Kapler has done is rake. Please note that the splits are both pretty good. When pitched to from both sides of the mound. Having a career year in the first month of the season. Thats all I have to say about that...The small sample size numbers speak for themselves. Except for the fact that he was part of a pretty crazy statistic. I believe that this is the only time 2 Jewish players hit home runs in the same game for the same team. Granted, he cannot keep this up, and in 2 weeks, it will be a moot point anyway since Mike Cameron will be able to play. For the love of the Sweet Zombie-Jesus Neddy, havent you been found guilty of playing the hot hand before? What is so different now? Tony LaRussa you are not, which ironically, was proven to you last year against that same manager.
The Brewers also added another arm. Jeff Weaver will begin the season at AAA Nashville, after not opening the season on a team. Probably at some point, he will be up with the big club when someone gets hurt, or they trade Dave Bush...Whatever comes first.
By the way, cry me a river. Put up some numbers or go bag groceries.

You know what? I never thought of it but maybe Ned Yost is a terrible manager? In fact he might be the second worst one out there, behind Dusty Baker of course.
