Suter Has Torn UCL, Will Likely Need TJ Surgery
Samurai Bucky replied to OnaBadger58's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Last I heard about Jimmy Nelson is that he is throwing light bullpen sessions. Any word on him? -
Once Twitter became popular, I think those who received Sociology majors suddenly became more relevant... He was 17 (unlike the guy who wrote for Deadspin and said he was 18). Were they terrible? Absolutely. This certainly doesn't fall under the guise of "Love your neighbor as yourself." What type of person is he now? Like so many others, I took cues from those who know him better than anybody else -- his teammates. His teammates who are not caucasian spoke to his character and that is enough for me. I forgive the guy. It is impossible for anybody to know why each person stood. Perhaps it wasn't to only support Hader, but it was to support Cain, Broxton, Agular, and the others on the team that showed their support for Hader. Sometimes people will make Tweets one way or another to put a notch on their Social Justice belt. [sarcasm]Journalists[/sarcasm] will spin the story to try to prove their point. Not every person stood, nor did every person cheer. That is the nature of society today. Now... let's start winning some games, boys!!!!

It is extremely rare to see any kids in the southwestern suburbs of Milwaukee playing a pickup game of baseball, soccer, etc. Perhaps basketball at the local playground. While I'm not the biggest fan of the sitting around and playing video games, and the killing within the game, it is a chance for the kids to interact socially. My 14-year-old son plays different squads with members of his baseball and football teams. These are the same boys he plays basketball with as well. Sports has become so organized that kids don't want to have pick up games as often as they used to. A few weeks ago, they had come up with a 2v2 tournament within playground mode in Fortnite. Pretty amusing. I play it sparingly and, as my son says often, am not that good at it.

I thought about posting this morning when I got to work at 6. Didn't even know where to start. There are some crimes that youth commit that are then sealed and not part of the person's record when he/she is an adult (note-- I'm not indicating this is or is not a crime by Hader). The problem is that "social justice" is something completely different. He was 17. At what age is he "held accountable?" 7 years ago, there wasn't much discipline about tweeting, posting vines, or even texting for that matter. Did he say that he snapped Suzie's bra strap? Also, it will be interesting to see if his teammates say, "Hell yeah! I could see Hader saying this stuff. He is a real piece of work." If his current behavior has been egregious, this would be the kick in the pants to throw Hader under the bus. I don't know how "socially active" the Brewers players are. This does give me a chance to teach my young adult and teenage children what happens when you post stuff on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.

Pittsburgh Hypothetical- Sweeping or Getting Swept

Coasting into the all-star break? -
Any roofers or contractors here? Ceiling leaking brown liquid.
Samurai Bucky replied to LouisEly's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Well done... -
Votto finished second in the MVP race last year and Goldy finished third. Reputation gets you much farther, I guess. https://www.mlb.com/news/marlins-giancarlo-stanton-wins-nl-mvp-award/c-262051396

I watched the last couple of innings of the Brewers / Twins game. I have also watched portions of the other Facebook broadcasts at Miller Park. I noticed that about 23K were watching the game when I was watching. I don't know what to think, yet. I understand this is the first year that Facebook (with MLB.TV) is producing these games and it seems like they have a long way to go. The play by play guy is not really good. Also, it seems like there is rarely any chemistry in the booth. I do like the "thumbs up / thumbs down" questions they have in the 7th (?). I also like the absence of commercials (Badger Mutual sells Commercial insurance...). I suppose that is what would happen if I purchased an MLB.TV subscription. The format and new delivery will certainly evolve. If Facebook Live has an app for the Roku platform, I might be on board a little more. For now, I'll give it a thumbs down. What sayeth thou?

So does this mean if I live in Southeastern WI my Fox Sports North would show the Fox Sports Wisconsin stuff, they just call it Fox Sports North? I'm a bit confused, the wife and I really looking into cord cutting and I want to make certain I can actually see the Brewers games through Sling first. I have PSVue and the only game I didn't see on PSVue was on Facebook Live. They added the Fox Sports Wisconsin "Channel" to the guide. I typically use Fox Sports Go on my Roku devices anyway.

Comparing 2018 Brewers with 2015 Royals
Samurai Bucky replied to Patrick425's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
IIRC, Ted Lang was one of the trainers. He's not involved with the Brewers, but he does work with some of them including Lorenzo Cain. -
ESPN has gone from the Worldwide Leader in Sports to the American Follower in Sports. Maybe Thanos can snap his fingers and get rid of half of ESPN's competition. [sarcasm]All things for the Disney Empire!!!![/sarcasm]

My daughter is a junior in high school. Her prom is the Friday before memorial day. She plays softball and the second round game would be on the same day as Prom (if they win). WIAA says they won't let the game be moved to Thursday and the other school "graciously" moved the game from 4:30 to 4:00. I'm pissed because why did the school schedule this forcing my daughter to choose? This isn't the first time it happened at this school! Damn! What a bunch of jerks!!!!!! Just in case you didn't know... I'm cheesed off...

In Southeastern Wisconsin, I should have invested in a canoe or a kayak. Came back from Washington DC on Friday where it was 82 and sunny to 42 and rainy? Then, one stationary front later, we get poured on last night... and probably again tonight? April showers may bring May flowers, but May showers bring June mosquitoes!!!! I guess this should be in the "What's bugging you" thread.

I have to disagree with you. Sure, seeing Jennifer Lawrence in full dominatrix mode was entertaining, but the cast around her was weak. Oh well... agree to disagree then. Circle gets the square...

73? Wow... I never would have guessed he was that old. I will miss his smile and love for the game. Rest in Peace, Davey...

http://usatodayhss.com/2018/wiaa-announces-it-will-discontinue-summer-baseball-after-2018 Interesting blurb from this article: There you have it -- Wisconsin is getting with the times. Wisconsin and Iowa were the only states offering some type of summer program.

Black Rectangle Thing on the Upper Deck Facade
Samurai Bucky replied to Samurai Bucky's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It is above the loge level attached to the facing on the bottom of the upper deck. -
(Sorry if this should be in a different forum) At the game last night and noticed the big black device on the upper deck facade behind home plate. What is it for?

Microsoft surface would be my suggestion but they are rather pricey. I wholeheartedly agree. I have a Surface Pro 3 and use it all the time for everything you are suggesting. I can even hook it up to the 52" widescreen if I want to stream content and watch it on the big screen. I'm a software engineer, so it doesn't really help me with writing intense apps (Surface Pro 4 would probably do that). There are some on eBay for about $500 w/o the keyboard.

Well... not directly. Schools like Oak Creek and Greendale moved to spring ball because of the number of kids playing travel ball in the summer. That reduced the number of teams and then forced the hand of the WIAA.

I think the Brewers have been blessed with some very good broadcasters. Merle Harmon was a great broadcaster with Uecker early on. We have Brian Anderson (does national broadcasts), Matt Vasgersian, Pat Hughes, and Len Kasper.

The MLBPA needs to get somebody to port "The Show" to the XBox platform. There will be a lot of sales which means a bigger chunk of change...

I had thought about the following idea, but I think Colin Cowherd articulates it better than I do... https://www.foxsports.com/watch/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/video/1168754755982 The teams would be responsible for the secondary education of the student. Those who are in impoverished areas can get their "standard" education, get money or opportunities from the clubs. The kids don't have to go to college. I saw the story of Lionel Messi and how Barcelona was able to help him with hormonal treatments that he wouldn't have been able to afford. At age 13, Messi went to Barcelona (https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/oct/15/lionel-messi-barcelona-decade). I don't know if it will work, but it is certainly an idea.
