    Heart says it would be fun to have him back, but head says it makes zero sense and shouldn't be done.

    It should be put next to the old lady in a rocking chair in the Streets of Old Milwaukee exhibit at the museum. When I was a kid, she scared the bejeezus out of me.

    I haven't lived in Wisconsin for nearly two decades now, so I don't have any favorite Prince Fielder moments that I witnessed in person, but one that I watched on TV (must have been on MLB Network) is one that pops into my head every now and then. June 15, 2009 at Cleveland. Brewers were down 12-8 going into the 8th and score 6 runs, highlighted by Prince's first career grand slam. It was a laser shot that got out in the blink of an eye. What struck me when it happened was the SOUND of the homer. One of the loudest I've ever heard on TV. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v5063371/milcle-fielders-first-career-slam-has-crew-leading There have been a lot of great homerun hitters in the long history of baseball, but out of all of them, I always loved watching Prince hit homers the most. Every one of them was so violent, so much fun. Prince's homers were an artistic snuff film.

    When I first saw the bobblehead, I didn't notice the problem, but it must have been something with the picture, because when I looked it up this morning, the issue jumped off the screen. Yeah, that's pretty bad.

    Maybe someday Braun & Fielder can have a combined statue outside Miller Park. Pretty much the best 3/4 combo in the past 20 years of Brewers history. Perhaps a statue of the two of them laying in the outfield together?

    I caught some of the game on TV down here in Atlanta. With regards to Chris Carter's shot to the wall in extras, I don't think I've ever been so certain that a ball was homer off the bat when, in fact, it wasn't.

    I would have rejected the trade, too. I read a tweet that I whole-heartedly agreed with. Something like, "Fans want players to be given more rights and then get upset when they exercise those rights."

    I don't think being "scared" is going to make him pitch well. He might do a great job, but it won't because of fear.
  10. dlk9s
    Gotta like a leadoff walk that uses up an entire inning's-worth of pitches.

    I saw video of Arcia's hit last night, which was the first time I saw him hit at all. I don't really see the problem with his stance. It's a bit straight up-and-down, maybe, but the important thing is whether or not he gets his hands, body, etc., in good hitting position as the ball approaches. MLB is full of different stances, but players what matters is what is going on when the swing starts. I'm no hitting coach, but a quick first glance and things looked ok to me.

    I told my kids, who don't know much of anything about baseball yet, about the trade. My daughter said, "The players the Brewers traded should just do badly on purpose so their new team sends them back to the Brewers!" While clever, I'm not sure I would advise that. How about this: go win a World Series with Texas then come back to Milwaukee when we're ready for a run and close games for the guys the Brewers got for you in the trade. Sound like a plan?
  13. dlk9s
    "In-depth" is being generous. It's basically just parroting the players' stats and saying they are good players.
  14. dlk9s
    To clarify, do you know if that's also the PTBNL list?
  15. dlk9s
    I wonder if there's ever been a time where a team knew its trade partner was interested in a particular player as the PTBNL (either because they collaborated on a list or because they just knew), but then promoted him to the big league club before he was named to prevent him from being traded. I'm guessing not, as it would become known that they did it and then nobody would want to deal with them, but it would be pretty fascinating if it happened.

    Players to be named always suck - but I'm happy with 2 1/2 players in Brinson and Ortiz Michael Brantley gives you the stink eye.
  17. dlk9s
    Not sure I love this if it's Jeffress/Lucroy for the two prospects. I might, not sure.
  18. dlk9s
    Rosenthal saying we're getting Brinson and Ortiz.
  19. dlk9s
    Aw man, I had a witty post all typed up for the transactions rumors thread only to find out it was locked.
  20. dlk9s
    Now that the Mets are out, hopefully my "lucroy" Twitter search will calm down. It's been cluttered with Mets fans begging for Lucroy all day.
  21. dlk9s
    By the way, watching "Mad Dog" Russo on MLB TV - he's just terrible. EDIT: He just developed Ted Cruz-like spittle on his lip criticizing Lucroy, then sucked it back in. Listening to him talk to Harold Reynolds is hell. "He's not a winner, blah blah blah."
  22. dlk9s
    I'll miss him. Seemed like a fun guy.

    I'm about to start reading The Great Gatsby in this thread.

    When I was in school for my MBA, I took a negotiations class. Every week, we were assigned a scenario, given a side to take, and had to do a one-on-one negotiation with a classmate. We got most of the class period to do it and then had to return to the professor with our results. We were graded on how "well" we did in the negotiation. There was one guy in the class who for some reason didn't like me. I hated his guts, too, but that's because he was a miserable human being. Of course, we got paired up for one negotiation. I put my dislike for him aside and set out to have an honest, fair negotiation. Certainly, I tried to "win," but I also wanted to try to have us both end up with an agreement with which we could be satisfied. I made reasonable requests, gave reasonable concessions, tried to work with him as best I could. This guy, in turn, literally refused to negotiate. He disliked me so much that he was willing to fail the assignment if it meant I failed, too (LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I IMPLORE YOU...WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS TREATMENT?). He finally agreed to negotiate, at which point he made the most insane offer that he knew I couldn't accept. When I didn't, he shut down. We both failed. Fortunately, my professor knew he was a worthless excuse of a student and gave me a make-up negotiation. I guess what I'm trying to say is that...I don't know, really. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
