Peralta’s Realistic CY Young Opportunity
Samurai Bucky replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Did you see these in person? If so, we should have a GoFundMe to get you tickets for all remaining Brewers games. 😉 -
Full transparency -- I stepped away from the screen. I can't stand it when he falls apart.

Oh... I wish my one trip to Nashville wasn't during COVID...
-
Maybe he should pull this out of his pocket:
-
This is my biggest concern, too. IIRC, that is why he didn't make the opening day roster. Fill the zone, Miz.

A new drinking game would be to drink every time somebody says, "[the best] in all of baseball."

Daughter got married on Saturday. Storms literally split around the place where we had the wedding so it could be outdoors. Very, very cool! Daddy / Daughter dance went well. Knees hurt a little afterwards. Two more daughters and a son to go... 🤪

<sarcasm> Stick a fork in the Brewers. They are done for the year. </sarcasm>

I have been critical of the hitting coaches in the past. It seems like they have made a major philosophical change. As Statcast has shown, they are shorter to the ball (shorter time to get to the point of letting the top hand go through the zone), but still maintaining the bat speed and even improving it. That also allows them to hit the ball in front of their front leg thereby generating more power. Great job, coaches! Short to... long through.

Trade deadline day thread
Samurai Bucky replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Bleacher Reports: Free Agents Stock Up or Stock Down (link to article below) 7. 3B Eugenio Suárez, Seattle Mariners: Down What's Going Wrong Before anyone flips out, this is meant to imply Eugenio Suárez's stock is down from where it was a few weeks ago. He does still have 37 home runs, after all, not to mention 57 total since last year's All-Star break. Only four hitters have gone deep more often since then, and that list consists of two MVPs (Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani) and one MVP contender who is now his teammate (Cal Raleigh). And yet, Suárez is only batting .111 with one home run and 27 strikeouts over his last 17 games. Given his age and profile as a bat-first corner infielder with swing-and-miss issues, a slump like that casts an unusually ominous shadow. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25234446-stock-stock-down-mlbs-biggest-upcoming-free-agents -
Yelie’s player’s tribune post from 2018
Samurai Bucky replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I still wear the Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO t-shirt from that year. -
The George Webb mascot can be seen in the Mets' clubhouse. 😉

I find it hilarious how people are complaining about the roof. Yes, there was some water that leaked. It sucked. Guess what? In Wrigley, or some other stadium without a roof, there might not be a game today after getting between 5 and 11 inches of rain. Oh... and it wasn't simply a downpour -- there were some very high winds too. I had to drive in that last night and it was not fun.

Would it be possible to put in a face-palm emoji and / or a thinking emoji? I think the face-palm could be used as a, "Duh... no kidding" response. The Thinking one would be, "Hmm... that is a great point". The latter is probably accomplished today by the thumbs up, I suppose.

I don't know what has happened to him. He threw a batting practice changeup waist high to give up the homer. The Yankees have so much talent, but it seems like either the culture, coaching, or the environment of being in New York drags them down. Crazy.
-
I'm guessing it is like: "You're a knob..." "Well, you are an esker!"
-
Three shows on Sunday?
-
How about Len Kasper on the announcing side of things? 😉
-
I agree. When others have made baserunning mistakes like that, in the doghouse, they would be.
-
The weather. Wasn’t conducive for good baseball.
-
I hope nobody gets hurt at the Bristol game. It looks terrible— even more so in 4k.
-
I'm surprised the reporter didn't ask, "Is that a pancake in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" 🤪

I friend of mine bought NVDA back in the early 2000's. He liquidated two years ago and is now building a house on the shores of Lake Michigan. That wasn't his only awesome investment, though. We got in before one of the last few splits. It also helps that I like NVDA because they give a lot of grants, etc. to MSOE -- where my son attends college.

I'm not sure about the NBA being completely up front. There are times where players could have played through injuries but chose not to for the benefit of the entire season. LeBron and Giannis had done this recently. I was always wondering how HIPAA plays into this. From what I understand, there are exceptions to HIPAA related to professional athletes. Maybe I need to go to LawyerGPT to find out. 😉 I'm viewing it as thinking of the season as a whole and trusting the players you have. Fortunately, the Brewers are playing one of the worst teams in the league, so forcing Chourio to sit for a bit (and resting Sal, too) wouldn't be too detrimental. It also gives the staff an opportunity to those who don't play much to actually play. Fortunately they have backup players that are playing in their regular position (I am still bitter about Bauers being a sieve in Left Field at one of the games I attended). My hope is that this doesn't put them into some type of tailspin. If they do, then I'll certainly criticize them for poor management. For now, though, continue to rake, push bunt to the second baseman, and get runners on base. Make the pitchers uncomfortable. Go Crew!

I, too, was disappointed. I'm viewing it more as separating the wheat from the chaff. Unfortunately, McGee did not perform well. I also understand that with a huge lead, you need to fill the zone. Still, it isn't BP.
