Jesus Aguila an OFer? OFer = outfielder, right? If so, I'm confused.

Bird Dog?

I hope we don't waste a million on Healy, and a half million on Peterson.

Agreed. I think it would be a giant mistake to let either go, but especially Feliciano.

If we don't protect those guys, they are goners...

When have the Brewers stated they have been trying to replace Arcia since 2018? If anyone has had a solid hold on a position on this team it is Arcia. He has been allowed to be one of the worst offensive players in MLB without truly being challenged by anyone to overtake his position.

ANYONE but the Astros. Not sure how anyone can root for them after the cheating scandal.

Each school is only as good as the adults in charge when it comes to preventing the spread. It doesn't just happen naturally, I can promise you that. I teach high school, it is a constant battle all day long, every hour to make the kids keep their masks on properly, and to stay away from each other. It is exhausting to have to do that all day long, plus do the rest of the job. If schools let the kids behave how they want, I can promise you that more than half wouldn't be wearing a mask, probably 75% is coser, and there wouldn't be an ounce of social distancing. When they leave the building, all bets are off as they don't act like we are in the middle of a pandemic at all. They exit the building in gropus of 5 or 6 right on top of each other, then pile into cars together. They still have their gatherings at each other's houses, and the parents seem to be fine with it. A parent threw a birthday party a couple weekends ago, one of the kids ended up positive, so starting on that Monday 9-10 kids went on 2 week quarantines. That is just one example, there are more. It is a contstant new daily list of kids that are temporarily virtual (meaning they are sick, have been exposed by a family member, or are waiting for test results), as well as new kids being added to the full virtual list daily. Taking attendance is it's own frustration every hour of every day as we try to match up the kids that are present, the kids out sick, the kids on temporary virtual and the kids that have gone full virtual since the previous day, to our class rosters. Then we have to start class with the kids in the room and incorparate the kids that are virtual. It is a total nightmare. Not to mention the fact that the teachers are responsible for sanitizing everything that has been touched, desks, door handles, supplies, chairs, soap dispensors, faucet handles, etc in the 5 minutes we are allowed between classes. Doing this as the new class enters the classroom is another wonderful add on to the day. Total and complete exhaustion, and that is not including planning lessons, covering classes for absent teachers (because NO ONE wants to come into school buildings to substitute teach during this fiasco), and the other regular daily jobs of a teacher. I envy any and every teacher that got to retire after last year's sh*t show ending... I use to feel bad that that was how they went out, now I just wish I was one of them.

Athletics general manager David Forst said Friday that the team is interested in re-signing second baseman Tommy La Stella. Forst gushed about La Stella on Friday, telling reporters, "He's the kind of guy who, when you play against him, you think you have a sense of how good he is. Then when you see him every day, you really appreciate the things he does. What he brought to our lineup the last month was critical to where we went." The 31-year-old hit .289/.369/.423 with a homer and 11 RBI in 27 games with the A's following a mid-season trade from the Angels. He then hit .296 (8-for-27) with a homer and two in the postseason.

There is already a rule in place for this, but it is seldom, if ever enforced. I know that but it's a judgement rule that like you said is almost never enforced. If the rule says that getting hit in your armor won't get you the base then that is more clearly defined and more likely to be enforced. Does that include the helmet?

I'm starting to think that the return for Hader is going to be underwhelming, and he stays a Brewer.

We thought Burnes was done as a starter? Speak for yourself, that was never the case for me. I'm a Burnes guy, always have been. He has way to good of stuff to give up on, what does Houser have? I don't think Houser will ever be a legit starting option, and you can quote me on that.

Funny you mention that. Eddie claimed it was from the guitar picks he kept between his teeth. I saw that... Different way of thinking I guess, but I'd suspect his doctors might have different opinions...

Well, if they go that route, they will be cutting off a huge segment of the population that refuse to use, or just don't want to use those streaming services. Lots of the older population, which I'm guessing is a huge chunk of the Brewers viewership don't use streaming, and still have cable.

Sad day in the rock and roll world, what is left of it anyway... I wonder if smoking 2 packs of cigs a day for the last 45 years had anything to do with his throat cancer?

It's pretty bad when business owners and managers also flaunt the no mask wearing. I've already stopped going to Kwik Trip due to ther hypocracy of having signs on the door that say MASK REQUIRED, yet more than half of the customers everytime I have been in there are not wearing masks. Figured I'd try Moto Mart (another gas station/conveinience type chain, not sure if they are located throughout the state of WI) this morning to see if they are any better. Nope, the store manager wasn't wearing a mask at all, and the other employee had it down below his freaking chin while waiting on people. Another business I will no longer be visiting along with Kwik Trip and Subway.

To be fair, Hader never should have been allowed to walk 5 guys in one inning. That was on one person, and one person only, and it isn't Josh Hader. That being said, I'm on the trade Hader train if the offer is right. We need a big bat corner infielder so badly... Yet, when we trade him, it will probably include an outfielder, and a couple of pitchers. I would never turn down blue chip pitchers, but we just have to have that big bat infielder so we can stop piecing together these re-treads and never were types...

I agree with this. He is a 2B.

If Braun comes back, I really hope it is as a DH only... Let him concentrate on hitting.

I'm for giving him another chance, however, if after 20-30 games he looks like he did in 2020, cut bait. He was just so ridiculously bad that I don't even think he deserves another shot, but I think they give it to him anyway. If Feliciano is close to being ready, I'd love to see him get a chance maybe after the all-star break...

Brewers have the 2nd lowest TV revenue in the league at $28m for 2020 and only the Marlins have a smaller TV revenue at $20m. Both the Marlins and the Brewers TV deals have completed after this season. I am not sure the Brewers will get much more than what they are already receiving. At best I think the Brewers could get what the Indians received and could get a boost of $12m more a season but I don't think that is going to happen. I think the Brewers may only get $7m more a season if I were Mark A. I would completely drop Fox Sports and see if I can get a deal with either Youtube, Amazon, Hulu or Apple. Completely drop cable and go with a streaming service this may alienate some now but I think future wise this will pay off more for the Brewers. That would be a huge mistake... You think any of those services will pay more than fox sports?

I can't imagine there is any chance he gets fired. I think they chalk this entire season up to weirdness, and give everyone a new chance in 2021. I think they may take that attitude with Narvaez as well, hopefully not Sogard.

Dude, we get it, you are a Manny Pina fan, but c'mon... I hope you have family and friend support if the Brewers don't resign the guy, I think you may need it...

Not sure there is much there on that level to be honest... The top guys will still become Yankees, Cubs, etc, so in the end, we'll be dumpster diving trying to save every last nickel while trying to look like we are trying to be competitive...
