Now you are comparing a team that had little talent and was expected to have a losing season to a team that was thought of as a legitimate playoff contender at the start of the season. Apples and oranges dude.
-
Unfortunately Macha really seems to look at "what have you done for me lately." He doesn't let his bench players play much unless they give results and they don't get enough playing time to be successful. Maddening circle. Being a starter seems to make a player immune from this.
-
Macha is hands down better than Yost in the game strategy department but Yost was hands down better at handling the bench and helping young players develop. I would agree if you cut it to Macha being hands down better handling a pitching staff. His pinch hitting decisions are maybe a slight improvement and his constant use of the sack bunt with the pitchers is annoying.

I still find it really amusing that people think that some players comments somehow fire up a team. After the Boston series last year, we played Pittsburgh, Washington, Houston, Arizona and Atlanta. Not exactly the elite teams in baseball. I have to say I am a little surprised that Braun didn't wait another week to say this so that we would be playing Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Washington and San Diego so that we could say he fired up the team again.

Looks like you are right. If you pay to fix it they give you a year. Even in warranty fixes only get 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, whichever is longer.

Wisconsin "Star Wars Jerseys" up for auction

Those are cool. I wish I could bid on them. -
Additionally, a player with 5 years of Major League service may not be sent to the minor leagues on an optional assignment without his consent. Basically, Hall could tell Melvin to pound sand and all Melvin could do was cut him. We would have to pay him regardless. (edit: bumped up font size a bit --1992)
-
I can appreciate that people like non-cliched comments, but these are over the line and totally unnecessary. As for showing leadership, well I think it would have shown better leadership to just stick with his "we are fine" comment from earlier in the week. Every time I start to come around on Braun a little, he says something stupid like this.
-
I think Giambi did this a few years back.
-
The only really troubling thing is that it looks like Macha may start playing our bench players more because the starters are not hitting with runners in scoring position.
-
They give you a 90 day warranty if you were out of warranty when they fixed it. That's what I got. If I had paid or was still in warranty, they would have given me a one year warranty.

MLB website still talking about Brewers GM Bob Melvin. Morons.Link

The schedule in the second half looks to be quite a bit easier I agree on August, but September looks brutal. We play 5 series against the Cubs and Cardinals. Kind of a good schedule for all the teams involved. Lets you play your way into or out of the playoffs at the end of the year. All games have huge significance.
-
You should get it back pretty quickly. Less than a month I would think and more like 2 weeks after sending it out. They will probably give you a month of Xbox live free so you don't pay for a service you can't use. Wish I was that lucky. I called yesterday because the replacement they sent me less than a year ago now has a nasty grinding noise and won't play disks. From what I've scene on the net, this is also a common problem with something coming unglued inside. I was really nice to the supervisor pretty much the whole time, but he wouldn't do anything. He also was kind of a jerk about it, and refused to give me any of his information besides his first name, and wouldn't give me his supervisor's name, wouldn't transfer me to his supervisor, wouldn't have his supervisor call me, and wouldn't give me any phone number for corporate. Pretty awesome experience. Wow, I find that pretty surprising. I have always had a pretty good experience with Xbox customer service, other than trying to understand what some of the service people are saying. I would call back until they fix it. You should be under a one year warranty from the time you last sent it in.
-
I think he would have one year. He had service time in September last year. You only need 172 days of service to acquire a year of service time and there are 183 calendar days in the baseball season.
-
Well Macha seems to be in support of the infield in thing as well so it seems more like a managery thing than it did last year,
-
His right hand got in ahead of the tag being applied, but the Umpire was behind the play and could only see the ball beat Hart to the bag.

Can the Escobar rumors stop now?
logan82 replied to TheCrew07's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I could buy that except it doesn't only happen to Escobar, it happens to every single prospect in that group. Look no farther than the Gamel thread on the Major League forum for ample support of my opinion. That really doesn't support your opinion. It supports PeavyFury's position. People think McGehee is a good player and don't want to replace him with an unknown player. We have adequate at worst players at every position, or in the case of McGehee, a player who is performing very well.(I still think Gamel is a better option, but that is for the other discussion) I think people like our prospects, it's just that right now, we have mostly adequate players at the MLB level. The issue has never been as simple as Hardy vs Escobar or Fielder vs Gamel/Whomever... the issue is trying to figure out how to get the best possible value out of a player before he walks. Constantly comparing Escobar to Hardy is a disservice to the truth... if Hardy is gone he was traded, so the value of the trade pieces must be included in the coversation. It' not 1 for 1, it's a 2 for 1, or 3 for 1, with the 1 being Hardy. Your position seems to be get worse for this year and better in the future. I highly doubt Hardy can be traded for a player that will make us better this year. If we could get a 1 or 2 starter for Hardy, I say trade him. The only guy of that quality we are likely to get is going to be a rental and I would rather not get a rental. -
Going into a thread with a search tag and clicking on that search tag and then clicking on the one in the list you want to use works. That's just goofy.

Here is a thread about my 2nd RROD a couple months back. Link
-
It looks like a late July return for Bush. They have him scheduled to pitch in AA on July 15th. Link
-
Brenly saying that the Brewers had to raid their minor league system to get CC last year. He isn't sure the Brewers have any player to trade for a front line starter.

Can the Escobar rumors stop now?
logan82 replied to TheCrew07's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Look at several different defensive measures. None that I know of properly account for shifts. I look at both UZR and Dewan's plus/minus. I don't think Dewan's shows up until after the season and I doubt UZR is useful until near the end of the season so we kind of have to go off of how the fielder was in previous years. Bill James has a defensive misplays section in Dewan's Fielding Bible and Braun had the 5th most defensive misplays with 25. Those are not affected by Cameron covering a lot of ground in CF. Soriano is 3rd with 29. -
I was over in the Off Topic Forum and the search tags at the top of the page don't seem to be working. Major League Forumeither.

I am getting the game on FSN and WGN. Stupid TiVo decided to record the WGN broadcast.
