Congrats to Hiura. That ball was smoked! -
#Brewers calling up second baseman Keston Hiura, sources tell The Athletic.
-
Hiura comin' y'all
-
Winning 7-0 against the Cubs is extremely cool and nice
-
The Nats: Just what the doctor ordered.

Of course I decided to go to sleep after the 17th inning. What a finish!
-
Nice clean inning from Burnes there
-
Yeah I was questioning reality there for a second.

Brewers sign LHP Gio Gonzalez
jjgott replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Happy to have a veteran presence back in the rotation but it makes me wonder why we didn't just re-sign Miley? -
Exactly. I think the team can spend more money than it does but I AM appreciative of the fact that Mark A. seems to want to win vs. prioritizing profits. Mark A could run the team with all pre-arby guys and make even more money if he wanted to. Even if attendance went down as a result, there's enough national TV and revenue sharing money to go around to make it all profitable. The Marlins have ZERO fan support and yet they got an ownership group to pay $1.2 billion for them. Either its just an elaborate ruse to write off loses for tax purposes or they are making plenty of $$$ with an average attendance of 9,000 per game.

Someone on Twitter pulled out this quote from the article and I think it is an interesting topic to explore: "The Dodgers had operating income of $95 million last season, the most in baseball. Such richness is a plus when, as in the case of the Dodgers, the owners are in the process of selling small stakes in the team to limited partners. The new investors will pay more if they believe a dividend is more likely than a capital call." There may be owners out there like Balmer or Cuban who aren't worried about the YTY profitability, only about the appreciation of the team, but there are probably an increasingly number of minority investors that want to see a return on their investment because they want the cash flow every year. Do we know anything about how many minority investors there are in the Brewers? That may give us more of a sense of whether there is an appetite to stomach operating at a loss and going "all-in." If the minority investors are expecting a dividend, they are not going to be too pleased if Mark A says nothing is coming.

Every team, yes even the Rays, are estimated to be worth at least $1 Billion https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/04/10/baseball-team-values-2019-yankees-lead-league-at-46-billion/#7076ea9d69b2

I may have garbage taste because I don't find it all that gross. It would be much better if it didn't have the vanilla in it though. When I was young, my family would travel to Germany and they had a soda called Mezzo Mix which is coke mixed with orange soda. You can still make it on those Coke Freestyle machines.

Wait, we won a challenge???

Complimenting the refs/umps by name in game?!?! This gets the prize for game thread post originality. I don't think it's going to catch on. Posters praising umpires, dogs and cats living together...

The Cole Hamels curse is still strong. No Rivalry, huh???

That'll do Freddy, that'll do

Is a strike looming, or is this fake news?
jjgott replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They're in a tough spot. Younger players far outnumber the 36 year olds, but younger players often look to the veterans for leadership. The union is supposed to represent all the players, but the salaries of those players are so disparate. This isn't like teachers or Teamsters or auto workers. Players are stratified, and the majority of the union members are never going to get paid in the upper strata. As much as the union has issues with team owners, there are union members who could/should have issues with other union members. What's weird is there is almost a fraternity pledging aspect for some of these guys [disclosure - I was in a fraternity in college so I'm not trying to disparage all fraternities here]. I've seen tweets where some current and former players say something to the effect that going through the slog of the minor leagues shows "who really wants it." It's almost a point of pride for some players that they endured the grind of the minor leagues and they feel like all players should have to do in order to make the jump to the majors. Just because a process is crappy and exploitative doesn't mean that it should always remain so. -

The Deadspin podcast said it best. The Indians are playing a game to see just how bad they can be and still win the division. -
Charge the run to Grandal not holding onto the ball. Ugh. Let's get out of here only giving up 1.

Make that 501 dingers!!!

We are going to hit like 500 dingers this season
