RICKIE WEEKS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Managing Expectations of Sports Journalism (Why Todd Rosiak Isn’t a Shill)
(Image: Totalprosports.com)
In JSOnline.com’s most recent online chat with Brewers beat writer Todd Rosiak, one participant named Craig called into question the professionalism of Mr. Rosiak and his colleague Tom Haudricourt (edited for clarity):
Is it accurate to characterize what you and Haudricourt do with the Brewers as journalism? It seems like you guys hardly do...
Gruman: Brewers must stick with Weeks through slump
What to do with the struggling second baseman?
Rickie Weeks is mired in another prolonged slump, and the whole state is talking about it. There's some in this town that would like to chase ever player who has a bad week, but Weeks has had a bad month and a half and deserves to be talked about.
But that doesn't change the fact Weeks is going to be Milwaukee's starting...

Rickie Weeks still Rickie Weeks
Last night Rickie Weeks went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout. If that hit had been an extra base hit, it would have been the most Rickie Weeks line ever. 1-for-4 with a walk isn't a sexy line and it's not very fun to watch, but it's good and it's valuable. It's a .400 On Base Percentage and it's what Rickie Weeks does. If you understand that and why it...
C’mon Brewers, Don’t Crash and Burn Quite Yet

At 15-20, the Milwaukee Brewers still could rescue their season. But after going 1-9 in their last 10 games, the team has incited all kinds of despair among a fan base that is restless for a winner. Fans waited all winter for baseball and so far most of what the Brewers have done on the field hardly qualifies as baseball at all. Technically...
Brewers Wednesday: Weeks drops in batting order
MILWAUKEE -- With 31 games and 114 at-bats under his belt, Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks is still trying to get going.
And while the Brewers are going to continue to stay patient with the former All-Star, manager Ron Roenicke dropped Weeks from fifth to seventh in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas.
"It wasn't really a conversation," Roenicke...

Brewers 12, Pirates 8
Rickie Weeks was so fed up with his season-long slump that he called Brewers hitting coach Johnny Narron for some early batting practice Tuesday.
The extra work sure paid off for Weeks, who broke out with a three-run homer and five RBIs to lead Milwaukee over the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-8.
Weeks, who began the night batting .167, said he was at Miller Park by 12:30 in the afternoon...

Extra work pays dividends for Brewers' Weeks
MILWAUKEE -- Rickie Weeks was frustrated, so he picked up the phone and called Brewers hitting coach Johnny Narron.
He doesn't usually like to get early work in unless it's after a day off, but Weeks met Narron at the park at 12:30 and went to work in the cage and then on the field during batting practice.
It's hard to know if his diligent efforts paid off Tuesday night...

The End of the World: An OOTP Diary
Last week saw the release of OOTP14, the latest in Out of the Park Developments excellent baseball simulation series, and ever since then I have been playing it. The game is a definite upgrade from last season, but also I played as the Yankees, I played as the Pirates and I played as the Braves, but I never played as the Brewers. The reason is simple: I don't know what the hell...
Weeks simply needed health to end slump
MILWAUKEE -- Rickie Weeks will never fully admit it because he's as tough as nails.
Though he had every reason to use his gruesome ankle injury as an excuse for a forgettable first half of 2012 in which many called for him to be yanked from the lineup or even sent to Triple-A, he didn't say one word about it.
But in reality his ankle wasn't healthy in the first half...
