mlb discussing reallignment (2 15 team leagues)
Vgmastr replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I love that they are considering going to 15 in each league, it's long overdue. However, I don't see the need to eliminate the divisions, it will hurt the rivalries if we're playing Arizona and Washington as many times as we play the Cubs and Cards. Three division winners plus two wild cards playing a one-game playoff to advance to the LDS. Play six series with each team in the division, a home and home with each team in your league outside of your division, and a home and home with each team in one division in the opposite league, alternating division each year. If you assume each one is a three game series, that's 18 x 4 = 72, 6 x 10 = 60, 6 x 5 = 30, which is 162. Schedule two and four game series within the division as needed to fit the calendar, but each team's schedule is completely balanced. I don't see MLB eliminating the Mets/Yankees and Cubs/White Sox series two out of every three years, however. -
Plush untucked! Very nice.
-
Just release Yuni and go with a Counsell/Wilson platoon at SS.
-
Why is Lucroy dropping a sac bunt with Narveson on deck??
-
Why isn't Prince taking any kind of lead there? He was pretty much standing on third when the ball was hit. If he's leading off they don't even throw home.
-
Good lord Yuni, you couldn't take one pitch??
-
They're trying to save the bullpen in a long stretch without an off day by going for the five inning rainout victory.
-
In his first AB, Vazquez threw Prince a fastball right down the middle on the first pitch. That time Prince took it. This time he didn't.
-
Road grays? If they lose I blame the uniforms.
-
Marmol going for the save in St. Louis, let's go Carlos...
-
Man, I love Plush. Did anyone else see him making kissing faces at someone in the dugout after he took third?
-
Ax is going to face 8-9-1, so it's really important he has command right away and doesn't walk the the bottom of the order and put guys on for the big hitters.
-
Wolf needs to stop being a baby and throw to Lucroy. He's hurting the team by making us have that useless load behind the plate every five games.
-
There really is no reason not to have Herrera on the roster if we aren't ever going to use Dillard. He's a waste of a roster spot and we need a LOOGY for these types of situations.
-
Fantastic, let's hit Phillips so Votto comes up as the go ahead run.
-
Wow, Votto and Bruce with back-to-back Ks, Marcum is dealing.
-
I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure there's a rule as part of the MLBPA agreement saying teams can't play games on back-to-back days in the Pacific and Eastern time zones.
-
Rolen really bailed Greinke out there swinging at the first pitch. Still, doesn't look like Greinke will be able to go deep into this one after those Votto and Bruce ABs.

Impressions of Roenicke so far (part 1)
Vgmastr replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
In defense of Roeincke there, guys like Morgan and Gomez have a decent chance at any time to turn a sac bunt into a hit given their speed, especially Morgan since he seems to be a pretty skilled bunter. When pretty much anyone else in the lineup puts a bunt down, it's only to advance the runner a base. If Morgan gets a quality bunt down there, he can not only move Weeks to second, he can end up with a hit. I don't really ever watch American League games, so i was expecting mass amounts of bunting from the way some of you guys here talk about the Angels. So far this year though, i haven't seen any excessive amounts of bunting and i don't count Morgan/Gomez the same as other players because of their fabulous speed. Strikes me as a very reasonable decision and with Gomez having such terrible on base skills, a bunt by him at least advances the runner and as i said before, if he gets the bunt in a good spot, it's gravy with a hit. Hart was sac bunting in the first inning in one of his first games back.To be fair, that was the game after the 1-0 loss at San Diego where the offense looked pathetic. Weeks led off with a double, and the Hart sac bunt was a "let's finally get a run, the lead, and some momentum." Would I have done the same thing? No, but with the offense looking as lifeless as it was at the time, I can see some justification behind it. -
Yeah, the 9th seems like a perfect spot for Dillard to get an inning.
-
I think this is the most hyped I've been for a non-Opening Day Brewer game since '08. 6 game winning streak and a fantastic pitching match-up, I can't wait!
-
Yes, which resulted in Matty V's greatest home run call.
-
Yes it does, this past weekend, July 14-17 at Colorado, Sept 13-14 at home. The Cardinals are also stuck with an extra series against the Phillies and the Cubs get an extra series against the Giants, so the NL opponent in Interleague does matter. That said, it's the luck of the draw, and it helped the Brewers in '08 when we got Toronto and Baltimore at home. We went 5-1 in those games, and we won the Wild Card by one game, so getting those teams instead of the Yankees or Rays may have gotten us to the playoffs.

Fox has three primetime Saturdays this season. Last week, today, and next week. Any night games those three weeks are not allowed to be televised. The Brewers moved last week's and next week's games to the afternoon so they could televise them. No idea why they didn't move this one too, but FSN's hands are tied, since the Brewers didn't move it, they can't air it.
