Hoooo boy just saw the prices for the jerseys on brewers.com. Were jerseys always that expensive? The last one I bought was an eBay special, no doubt from China at one point.
@Haudricourt 6 minutes ago Stearns said Anderson decision came down to not wanting to exercise the option but also avoiding a possible arbitration hearing.
Heck, I'd take Vlad Sr. Can I interest you in a Chad Spanberger? @ScottyMitchTSN 3 minutes ago #BlueJays are sending 1B Chad Spanberger, who was acquired in the Seunghwan Oh trade, to the Brewers. Spanberger, 24, struggled in Double-A in 2019.
Hader never seemed to fully embrace the Closer™ role, coupled with the fact that Craig had to always keep his workload in check. I think losing Knebel and the non-effectiveness of JJ early this season really put a wrench in our bullpen makeup. Hopefully next season Hader can go back to being the fireman he was in 2018 vs. having to be reserved for a potential 9th inning save. Also hopefully Hader can get the feel back for his slider or develop a third pitch that can throw hitters off his fastball. I still believe Hader is a weapon out of our pen in 2020, just not in the way he was used in 2019. I don't think it's fair to lump him in with flashes in the pan like Turnbow and Axford.
Hey...remember when we did this on Opening Day? HOW BOUT WE ROB THE CARDS OF THE DIVISION WHILE WE'RE AT IT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MwKQioQxA4
Same. I was born in '87 and grew up on the East Coast so I've only really been able to follow the team day-to-day since 2002 when we got Extra Innings (what a first season to get it lol). The growth in this organization has been unreal. Glad to see the team not give up and am looking forward to see just how far we can ride this crazy hot streak.
I am watching the game on TV here in MD and the Phillies got hosed on two straight pitches that should've been strike three but instead were called ball 3 & 4. Nola was up to 110+ pitches so Kapler brought in old friend Jared Hughes...and GS.
