  1. In many ways, considering the lack of production from those and the number of players on the IL, their current record is their floor.
  2. Adrian Houser is back in the majors, signing a one-year deal with the White Sox and will get the start tonight.
  3. "What's going on, Mr. Peterson?" "Let's talk about what's going in Mr. Peterson." Spent many a night in high school playing cards in my parent's basement with friends watching reruns of Cheers, Night Court, and Barney Miller. RIP
  4. Rodriguez is already on the 40-man roster, Mis isn't. Adding Mis means DFA-ing someone when the other injured pitchers (Woody, Civale, Quintana, Ashby, Hall, Cortes) come off the IL.
  5. You'll burn your bullpen out if you panic every time a starter starts giving up some hard contact. The bullpen is at risk of showing signs of overusage.
  6. The growth of the NFL fan base over the last 15 years has predominantly come from women and from people outside of the US. If they want to keep growing (and getting more ratings, and sell more merchandise), then they need to appeal to the young female population.
  7. It's really hard to win in the playoffs, much less when your star players are injured.
  8. If this control is real, you may have typed an extra digit.
  9. Nice to know I'm not alone in this. Although mine isn't at end of semester, it's that halfway through the semester I realize there's a class that I forgot about and haven't been attending.
  10. There is one other aspect to a lifetime ban - MLB teams cannot do anything to honor or mention that player. That's why the Reds put seven baseball bats in each of the two riverboat smoke stacks when Great American Ballpark was built - that was the closest thing they could do to paying any type of homage to Pete Rose. Not sure if people read the entire article, but Manfred's comment: "Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Was actually a reference to something he said in 2015. Rose applied for reinstatement shortly after Manfred took over as commissioner, and Manfred said at the time: "(Allowing Rose back into baseball was an) unacceptable risk of a future violation ... and thus to the integrity of our sport," Manfred declared on Dec. 14, 2015. It's a difficult subject. It's really hard to apply any type of "morality" lens, because what is considered socially acceptable and socially reprehensible evolves over time. I hate to use this example, but it's the easiest to apply - racism was socially acceptable not that many years ago. And because of that, known racists were elected into the baseball Hall of Fame. Now we know that racism is socially reprehensible and nobody with any type of racist behavior would ever be elected today. Swearing on TV (not pay networks such as Netflix, HBO, Cinemax, etc.) used to be socially reprehensible; in recent years I've heard the F-bomb said on the USA network. I wasn't around, but it doesn't sound like many eyebrows were raised when Joe Jackson married a 15-year-old girl in 1908. Now that's not only socially reprehensible, but a felony. Ads for sports betting sites used to be banned; now they are all over MLB broadcasts and stadiums. "Greenies" in the clubhouse... it's a long list. Society changes. The one thing that was and still is socially reprehensible is lying. And Pete Rose did that many times for many years. I wouldn't support him being elected into the Hall of Fame. But if the Reds want to honor what he did for their franchise... whatever. It's easy for us to criticize the Reds if they do so, but many still revere a certain former Brewer who is in the Hall of Fame who admitted to using cocaine as a player. Lots of people have died or had their lives ruined by using cocaine, getting cocaine into the hands of wealthy Americans to make money, or trying to stop cocaine from getting into the hands of the wrong people. I guess, nobody died because Pete Rose lied.
  11. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned here is how the Bucks star players have been injured/not 100% in the post-season the last four years.. And it's been all three - Giannis, Middleton, and now Lillard. It's really hard to win in the playoffs when your star players are struggling just to get on the court..
  12. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45115659/pete-rose-shoeless-joe-jackson-players-reinstated-mlb Both are now eligible for election into the hall as Manfred rules that MLB's punishment of banned individuals ends with their death. "Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote.
  13. Why would Giannis want to go to a team that didn't make the playoffs last year?
  14. Brewers were waiting for the tariffs on Canadian imports to be called off.
  15. He took a 94 mph heater in the face early last season and had multiple facial fractures. Takes a while to come back from that, as much mentally as physically. He currently has a .951 OPS in AA. I'd say he's progressing very well.
  16. To answer the headline question: When the Brewers consistently finish below where their payroll ranks.
  17. He's given up one earned run in his last nine appearances. I think we can give that a rest.
  18. No mention about the possible effects of inflation, worries over future inflation caused by tariffs, and general future economic uncertainty. Lots of people cutting back on expenditures now due to the uncertainty. Lots of layoffs of federal government employees and federal government contractors. Lots of people pulled forward big expenses (e.g. vehicles, home improvement, electronics, etc.) to try to get ahead of possible tariffs, increasing expenses YTD and thus decreasing discretionary income.
  19. Oh, yes. Depending on what airport you are flying out of or in to there is a buffer of up to 30 minutes. I think O'Hare is 30 minutes. Departure time is also the time you push back from the gate, not wheels-up. That's another reason for the buffer. You could have to taxi for 10 minutes and then be #13 for departure.
