  1. Damn, didn't want to lose him. I truly thought he had a bright future with the Crew.
  2. Meh, not a real splashy type signing. Familiarity is about all.
  3. yup I'm really hoping that we aren't going to lose the "off topic" board... ?
  4. That is lame. How anyone can say that gouging isn't happening is beyond me...
  5. Stearns never had the full time DH slot to consider until now. True, but again, Stearns doesn't typically like guys who can only play one position, and this isn't even really a position, it's hitting only. I just can't imagine this happening given the fact that Stearns likes multi-position guys.
  6. lJon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Brewers are one of many teams that's in on the Nelson Cruz sweepstakes. According to Heyman, almost all of the contending teams in the National League are currently in the mix here. The 41-year-old slugger began his big league career with the Brewers way back in 2005, so signing there could bring his career full circle. Where there's this much smoke, there's usually fire, so it shouldn't be long before we know where Cruz will be stationed in 2022.

  7. Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Padres are one of the many teams interested in free agent slugger Nelson Cruz. Enrique Rojas of ESPN reported earlier Saturday that Cruz's market is accelerating and there are now eight teams interested in the 41-year-old's services. The Padres attempted to trade for Cruz at last season's trade deadline -- before the Rays ultimately acquired him from the Twins -- so it's not surprising to hear that they maintain interest. His powerful right-handed bat would fill a giant hole in the middle of the Padres lineup. Expect him to finalize a deal before the weekend is through. RELATED: San Diego Padres SOURCE: Jon Heyman on Twitter Mar 12, 2022, 5:02 PM ET If there are truly 8 teams involved, sad to say, we are out of luck.
  8. I highly doubt we are truly in on Cruz. He's a one dimensional player. Though it would be great nostalgically, do we really need a guy who can't play defense.........at all? Cruz just doesn't see like a Stearns signing.
  9. yeah, true, just posting what I found...
  10. I just don't see us interested in such a one dimensional player unless he comes cheap.
  11. The Mets are reportedly interested in upgrading their bullpen and have been linked to Brewers closer Josh Hader along with free-agents Andrew Chafin and Collin McHugh according to Buster Olney from ESPN. Hader is the reigning NL Reliever of the Year after posting a 1.23 ERA over 58 2/3 innings with Milwaukee last season but will have a considerable cost in trade. McHugh is coming off an almost equally impressive season from a ratios standpoint with a 1.55 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 64 frames with the Rays in 2022. The right-hander, along with southpaw Andrew Chafin would make excellent additions to the bullpen in Queens as free agents.

  12. Hector Gomez of Z101 Digital reports that the Phillies, Twins and Brewers have also expressed interest in free agent outfielder Jorge Soler. That makes eight teams reportedly in the market for the reigning World Series MVP, who hit .269/.358/.524 with 14 homers in his final 55 regular-season contests last year following a midseason trade to the Braves. The Phillies and Brewers would represent intriguing landing spots given their hitter-friendly home ballparks and the addition of the designated hitter in the National League. Stay tuned.

  13. Not a chance we are in on Olson, and Hiura is probably going to get another shot at regular playing time via the DH. I hope is is ready! Man can we use the old Hiura!
  14. ...and as usual, the average joe blow in the USA gets screwed to the max.
  15. Do you notice the sponsor’s logo on NBA uniforms? How can you not notice them. They are right on the front of the jersey. Small, but easily identifiable, which is what the sponsors want, obviously. I hate the idea of sponsors logos on uniforms and helmets. It will start out small, but at some point, you will start to see multiple sponsors logos on uniforms. Only a matter of time. I hate it.
  16. Seems like a stupid thing for the players to take a stand on...
  17. That is what I'll be doing. Hate missing games, but not going to jump through the hoops...
  18. The subscription service part is the problem. ESPN is still cable, so tuning into espn instead of ballys is whatever for people with cable. Needing an app and then having to pay an extra subscription on top of cable to get the game is why it's gross. The closest similarity in major sports is amazon carrying thursday night football(which i also don't like but not as strongly as this new apple tv deal), but with that said if Packers play on Thursday the game is still carried locally. You're going to have a lot of older people confused with how to watch or why they have to pay extra for it when they have cable already. And again, it's becoming a trend. How annoying will it be when in 5 years, bally's is covering 50 Brewers games with apple tv getting 4, youtube tv getting 4, amazon getting 6, espn taking 3, paramount plus gets 2 Brewers vs Cubs games...it shouldn't be this complicated to watch a damn brewer game. Preaching to the choir as far as I'm concerned... I miss the old days when you watched cable, then talked about the shows that you watched the next day at work, or with friends. now everyone watches a lot of the same shows, but no one is at the same point, much less the same season as you. Tons of great shows on so many different streaming services, that it is so hard to have shows in common with people in your life. I'm old I guess...
  19. I thought it was ONLY 1B that was going to be slightly wider to give the runner a wider area to touch, and keep him out of the way of the fielder. If they make all of the bases bigger, I don't understand why they would do that.
  20. I hope you at least give the cops a statement...
  21. That is a series I have always wanted to see, but just haven't. I'm moving it up on my importance list!
  22. No it will always be on as long as it is connected to the TV. The remote is to navigate through the menus when you have your source as the Amazon firestick. Great, thanks!
  23. When using an Amazon firestick, do you have yo turn it on with a separate remote control? I'm planning to order them, but they all come with a remote control.
