Miller started this nonsense. Bush with the gopher grand slam coming up. I just don't trust the guy.

I like Rock, might be alone in that thinking, but I'm loving Vinnie! BA can just leave for all I care. He's not the brewer announcer anymore imo. He is just a guest announcer.

Please, not Bush. Strzelecki probably should not have been given this inning, but that is just 20/20 talk. geez

The sooner that team moves the better...

Brewers prospect Sal Frelick is out of Triple-A Nashville's lineup on Wednesday because of a thumb injury. On his 23rd birthday, too. A healthy Frelick might be a candidate for a callup to Milwaukee as a result of Garrett Mitchell's injury. However, he's not off to a very good start this year, having hit .232/.318/.321 in 15 games for Nashville. SOURCE: Curt Hogg Apr 19, 2023, 12:28 PM ET

We have to have another OF on the active roster... We'd be down to Yelich, Wiemer, Anderson and I guess you could call Miller an outfielder. If Mitchell is out for any amount of time, we are going to have to have another body, just hope we don't call Perkins up.

Is this going to begin the Sal Frelick era if Mitchell is hurt?

The trading post forum was awesome when people were using it, but over the years, it just plain ol' died. What a shame it is now gone.

I retired from teaching high school in June at 57 years old. 33 years in that profession and by the end, I couldn't get out fast enough. Talk about a profession that has changed during my career...and not for the good. I very much pity any new teacher these days, but then again, they don't know any better, they just know what the profession is like now. I can't imagine anyone lasting 30+ years in the current teaching climate. So anyway, I got out, and couldn't be happier. My wife still has 3 years to go, but she still enjoys it. We will probably move to wherever my daughter and her husband are in 3 years to be near our future grand kids. My wife also thinks we will be moving to a warm climate for the winter months, but I am not too keen on that idea. I enjoy the Wisconsin seasons, even though I am not a winter sports enthusiast. (snowmobile, ice fishing, etc) I have kicked around the idea of getting a simple meaningless part time job, the kind you punch in and punch out and don't think about again until you show up for your next shift. Haven't talked myself into it just yet, but at some point, will find a little something to keep me busy. I actually applied to, and was offered a job in a local small business setting, but when I found out the pay was $10 an hour, and I had to work every other weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, I had to pass. I am far past the point of working for next to no pay and especially if that means working on weekends, which is now the only time each week I get to spend time with my wife. Would have been a fun job though... One job that I refuse to do is subbing. If I wanted to remain in teaching, I wouldn't have left. Subbing is probably one of the worst jobs on the planet, and if I wanted to teach I would have continued my real job. I felt a little guilty at first since subs are almost impossible to find for every district in the state, but I got over that quickly. I laugh at all the people who tell me they are bored in retirement. That is sooooo far from my reality it isn't even funny. I LOVE being retired, coming and going as I please, answering to no one (but my wife occasionally lol), just plain being on my own is joyous! I joined the local Y and am back in shape. Hadn't touched a weight in 25 years, so it was hard getting back into it, but now that I am seeing results, it is awesome. It is impossible for me to be bored. There is always something to do and if not, going to the movies or watching my massive DVD collection is always an option. Retirement is a gift that a lot of people get very little of because they didn't plan properly. We have been putting money away since the day we were married and it as paid off. Anyone out there still reading, PUT MONEY AWAY for retirement! Start with your first paycheck, even if that means you only put $25 per check into a fund. You can always do more when you have more. It all adds up!

HORRIBLE send by the new windmill! I'm surprised Rowdy didn't just stop and tell him to screw off.

I don't care what anyone says, I enjoy Vinnie Rottino. BA can go chase all the national gigs full time and I'd be fine with that.

Please NOT Black...

I'd be pretty hesitant to trade Black for a rental... Black could very well be our future 2B for a long damn time.

Not to mention, Yelich is obviously heading to that DH position pretty soon. If we end up holding onto all of our young outfielders (Wiemer, Mitchell, Frelick and Chourio) there will simply be no room for more DH type players. Hopefully, it's a good problem to have when you have 2 deserving catchers, but I really think that extending Contreras is something that can either wait a year, or not do at all.

Does he have the bat to be a regular DH? He needs to start flashing some power for that to be a consideration. No need to overpay a catcher to become a DH when we have a guy like Quero making noise, and probably able to play for the big team in 2024. I just think we have better places to put extension money than the catcher position when we have a guy like Quero who will be knocking on the door relatively soon.

All the fancy stats aside, I just really want him to add some power to his game. Be nice to hit a homer every now and again, maybe a couple doubles. Chicks dig the long ball!

Well, I think this might be unnecessary due to the fact that at some point, Quero will be a factor, and a whole lot cheaper if he keeps developing. I think I'd hold off at least a year before considering any kind of extension with Contreras due to Quero on his way up...

Is the city of Seattle even safe to walk around in these days?

I will not be surprised in the least if he is either done for the season, or comes back in August at the earliest. Shoulders...

This has been a really fun team to watch so far! They have some hitters!!!!! I don't think Robert Moore will be in Appleton long, he is a man playing with boys at the moment!

The Robert Moore article or whatever to the right of the screen is incorrect. He is with the Timber Rattlers in 2023, not the Mudcats.

You guys have to be yanking my chain, there is no way you can like these uniforms. They look like a junior high girls softball team. Just absolutely hideous. An embarrassment to MLB. The Brewers city connect jerseys are not on this level of suckiness, At least they looked like our old powder blue jerseys, so not that much of a stretch.

Padres sporting the WORST uniforms in professional sports. They wore these last year, ok, it was a mistake. Wearing them a 2nd year and it has now become a travesty. The catcher looks like a Peep. You know, the marshmallow candy?
