  1. There might be a chance that Peralta and Burnes never amount to jack squat.
  2. Having Yelich, Hiura and Grisham locked up for the next 3 years is sweet!
  3. My wish list for the off season is Rendon. Pay the guy, add him to Yelich and Hiura for a pretty decent 3-some. Let Moose walk and sign him. I know I'm dreaming, but it would be pretty neat to have he and Yelich on the same team for a few years.
  4. I hate coffee. Believe it or not, and most people do not, I have never tasted coffee, not even one sip. It just seems like an addiction I'd rather avoid. I've seen what it does to people who can't go on another moment in life without it, so I have always stayed away. The importance that people place on getting "their coffee" is kind of sad in so many ways.
  5. Actually, there is just as much sex, if not more, in Game of Thrones if you want to be honest about it... lol
  6. Yes, if they want to win next year. Arcia is the worst hitter I’ve ever seen play this many games for the brewers. Bye Bye. Jose Iglesias is the perfect SS for this team. .293 hitter and the best 2 strike hitter in all of baseball with GG caliber defense. Would be a great signing. Stearns could have had Galvis at the deadline for salary. 1.8 million this year with club option 5.5 million and 1 million buyout. It would have been a nice upgrade for the rest of this year, with a fair option on him next year. Really wondering why he’s not here playing SS? Is it the money? He’s definitely an upgrade, but then who wouldn’t be? You keep banging this Galvis drum, but my question is this: Had we claimed him, would it have mattered since the Reds had a higher waiver claim than us? You can cry and whine all you want, but I think the Reds were ahead of us, so we didn't have a shot at him anyway. Unless I am wrong about the waiver order.
  7. If that is true, that is complete failure on the part of the Brewers. Shame on them.
  8. Updating a previous report, Jung Ho Kang has not signed a minor league contract with the Brewers. It sounds like a deal will probably get done soon, but for now Kang is just working out at Triple-A San Antonio. He was released by the Pirates earlier this month after batting .169/.222/.395 over 185 plate appearances. Source: Tom Haudricourt on Twitter Aug 16, 2019, 5:37 PM ET
  9. Yes, it's really good. For whatever reason I never finished the series, I started watching season 4 but only watched 3 or 4 episodes and never went back. It was good though, more my fault for letting it slip out of my consciousness. I'm pretty lazy about keeping up with tv shows sometimes and it's not the show's fault. So many good characters though, Jack Rackham is my favorite. Yeah, I actually watched season one and 2 when we had Starz in our cable package, then lost track of it. Starting over, and like it more now than the first time I saw it. Glad there are two seasons I haven't seen yet, will be that much more fun after season 1 and 2...
  10. Has that been announced by Washington? I've seen those listings as well but they are subject to change with Max chomping at the bit to get out there. Hope they do hold him out until we leave town. Read today that Scherzer will start Saturday with a limited pitch count. Max Scherzer (back) could rejoin the Nationals' rotation as soon as Saturday against the Brewers. The Nats will decide on Friday whether Scherzer will start on Saturday or Sunday versus the Brewers, throw another simulated game or possibly make a rehab start. Manager Dave Martinez has indicated that the team has mapped out a schedule that would allow Scherzer to face the Braves as much as possible down the stretch, and that would seem to potentially line him up to start Saturday. If the righty does take the ball on Saturday, he would be on a limited pitch count, as he threw just 32 pitches during his simulated game Tuesday. Still, it would seem like the club would prefer an abbreviated outing from Scherzer than him using bullets in a rehab start. We'll find out later Friday what they decide. Source: MASN Sports Aug 16, 2019, 10:32 AM ET Then this update: Max Scherzer (back) will throw a simulated game on Saturday. Scherzer and the Nationals seem to think he is over his back injury, but they want him to build his stamina up more before they return him to the rotation. He's slated to throw around 75 pitches Saturday and should be back with the big club sometime next week. Source: Mark Zuckerman on Twitter Aug 16, 2019, 4:45 PM ET
  11. Seriously? If you get busted 3 times for drunk driving, how many times do you think he did it without getting busted? 10, 20, 100 times? More? 3 DUIs is for 100% certainty, a drinking problem.
  12. It’s baseball, so ya never know, but not confident of a win here. Irritated that our GM has mailed it in vs LHP. Rinse, wash, repeat.
  13. His history of sexual assault and DUIs might not sit too well with fans and teammates...This is a bit of a controversial signing imo. I don't believe that the sexual assault was ever proven, but 3 DUIs can't be a fluke.
  14. Brewers signed INF Jung Ho Kang to a minor league contract. Kang was released by the Pirates earlier this month but has now caught on with another team in the National League Central. The 32-year-old infielder has batted just .169/.222/.395 over 185 plate appearances this season but could give the Brew Crew a power bat off the bench down the stretch.

  15. Black Sails Anyone watched this series from a few years back on Starz? I finished Game of Thrones and went straight into Black Sails, and so far, I love it! (just finished season one)
  16. y'all seeing that in type form really bugs the crap out of me. I see it everyplace, especially social media, but other more formal places as well. I get it, you are from down south, and your southern drawl etc. is really "cute," but damn, knock it off. It isn't that cute.
  17. Yes, if we can trade him, and it helps the team, do it. No hesitation. Problem is, other teams can see his offensive regression as well as us, and at some point, due to his age, his defensive regression will kick in too. Other teams know all this, so finding a buyer, imo, is going to be next to impossible.
  18. Frosty. Boys. lol Didn't see a single pitch today. Not a fan of youtube/facebook/or anything other than FS1 games.
  19. Astros recalled RHP Cy Sneed from Triple-A Round Rock. Sneed will return to the Astros' bullpen ahead of Wednesday's matinee game against the White Sox. He has posted a 3.75 ERA and 12/3 K/BB ratio in 12 innings of relief this season at the major league level. Aug 14, 2019, 11:14 AM ET
  20. Burnes has been so awful he is quickly pitching himself out of the picture. He just got demoted to AA, and is now nothing more than a pie-in-the-sky candidate to even make the big leagues next year. Nelson is in danger of non-renewal and still unable to pitch. I think Stearns may use Davies as part of a deal for a #2-3 starter over the winter. I think it's time to stop thinking that Davies has any value at all. People keep throwing his name out there as a trade candidate, but who on earth wants him as anything more that rotation filler, and only if necessary. We'd get nothing for him, zero.
  21. I'm not optimistic on this guy yet. He obviously didn't work right and needed fixing, I doubt we got that done in 2 weeks. We are desperate, we are now throwing anything against the wall in hoping that it sticks. Not the way to be in a pennant chase, but it's what we are.
