  1. At first I thought it said the Brewers picked up Jake Elwood. Now I'm just disappointed.
  2. I predict 18 strikeouts for Scherzer with half of them coming against Chris Carter.
  3. I'm confused by this discussion. Isn't Baserunning and the Shift the new wacky morning drive duo on the local sports talk radio station?
  4. Oh man, ESPN just totally made me hold my breath. To open SportsCenter, John Anderson said, "First up, the Milwaukee Brewers!" I thought Braun had been traded. Nope, just an update that MadBum was mowing the Brewers down.
  5. As a Virginia grad, I'd welcome Parker.
  6. Bottom line for me is that I always root for the Brewers to win, but because this is a rebuilding year, I am not going to be upset if they lose. I'm not cheering for losses, but am ok with them. It's not particularly complicated.
  7. Three HS players in the first round from the Atlanta area, one of which is from the school district in which I live. Looks like the competition is stiff in my neck of the woods. My 7-year old's eight hours of practice per day regimen starts TOMORROW.
  8. For those bemoaning a guy's power in college with aluminum bats and worrying that someone won't be able to hit with a wood bat, keep in mind that power numbers have been WAY down in college the last few years because of new bats that were introduced. The home run numbers increased a tick last year because balls with flatter seams were used, but it's not like guys are jacking balls out of the park a million times a game like they used to.
  9. IIRC, Mike Trout was the only prospect at his draft. It was one of the first that had a big, fancy live broadcast, if not the first.
  10. I was wondering the same thing. Bases loaded with Carter up is not the spot I want the updates to freeze.
  11. In the Braves series, one of the Braves TV announcers made an interesting observation about Carter (don't know if it's correct, but it seemed reasonable). He said Carter basically swings on one plane and has trouble adjusting if the ball is not on that plane. When the ball is on that plane, though, watch out.
  12. I'm pretty surprised that most of the waiver claims ended up to be edge-of-the-roster players. Shocked, even.
  13. The pitching has been quite good overall for about a month now. It's weird, especially with how bad it was to start the season. Agreed! Just imagine where we would be if the pitching wasn't so [expletive deleted by moderator] to start. Well, our hitting is no good, but yeah, we'd probably have a few more wins.

  15. On the Brewers/MLB website: http://shop.mlb.com/Milwaukee_Brewers_Caps/Mens_Milwaukee_Brewers_New_Era_Digital_Camo_2016_Memorial_Day_59FIFTY_Fitted_Hat
  16. If we do catch them AND it lasts, it would be a baseball miracle. Here's the June schedule after the final STL game: 4 @ PHI 2 vs. OAK 4 vs. NYM 3 @ SF 4 @ LAD 2 @ OAK 3 vs. WAS 3 vs. LAD
  17. Just checked to see what was happening in the game. Broxton 2-2 with a double and a walk? SKY IS FALLING
  18. I really wish the Brewers would just admit once and for all the the ball and glove logo is the best and go to it full time. I don't watch the games as I'm not in Wisconsin, but I saw the Braves series and they wore the logo every game. From pics and highlights, I know they've worn it a lot this year. Just give in already and make it the primary logo.
  19. Brewers now have more wins at Turner Field this year than the Braves do.
  20. I honestly have no idea who Marinez is, but he looks very good.
  21. Ha! We finally gave up when the game was delayed. Got home about 20 minutes ago and the game just now re-started. We had very good seats and were amongst the few that didn't seek cover. It was hot today, so the rain felt good. We considered getting out of the rain when it started coming down hard, but my son didn't want to, so we said, "Screw it" and stayed in the rain. We were soaked head to toe by the time we got to the car. Had to peel our clothes off when we got home. In between innings before the delay, we were talking to an usher. He had to go attend to something and came back a little later with a Brewers fan. The fan was sitting near the Brewers dugout and was given a ball by a player before the game. He had told the usher he wanted to find a kid Brewers fan to give it to and the usher told him he had a couple for him. So, he came over and gave my son the ball. We got a certificate of authentication from the customer relations desk on our way out. So cool. In my 40 years, I have never gotten a ball at any game.
