  1. Those ARE real numbers, now if they had 72i or 77i, that would be incredible!!! #MathTeacher http://i.imgur.com/Re9gj.gif
  2. Orioles would never trade for Khris Davis. It was be too confusing. Not worth the stress.
  3. I'm still a little bitter than my HS coach DH'ed for me once I was on the varsity team. I was a .500 hitter in JV, for crying out loud. My crime was that I couldn't hit homers. My senior year, we were winning a game by a ton and the coach let the non-hitting pitchers pinch hit. After two years with no batting practice, I lined a single to right and ended my varsity career with a 1.000 BA. PRACTICE? WE'RE TALKIN' 'BOUT PRACTICE?
  4. There's a user named "crickets" browsing this forum right now.
  5. He's not acting like he's "above" the situation. He fully admitted that he didn't perform up to the standard he set for himself. He admitted he was part of last year's struggles. He just doesn't want to be part of a rebuild when he is now a catcher in his 30's and he knows his time as a quality major leaguer may be limited. He knows (as do we) that if he plays up to his potential, he's one of the best catchers in the league, so a team with World Series aspirations would possibly want him. And to reiterate Eye Black's point about this not hurting his trade value, it just takes one team. Everybody knows where the Brewers stand, but they also know that the Brewers don't have to move Lucroy if they don't want to. Other teams may try to act like the Brewers don't have bargaining power, but if multiple teams have a desire to get Lucroy, they are going to be afraid that someone else is going to make a strong offer and thus will make a strong one themselves. Other teams are bidding against each other, not the Brewers.
  6. I'm going to stop you right there.

  8. Remember, Lucroy was clearly lying about the suitcase falling on his hand, too. The window probably slammed down on it while he was escaping with the neighbor kid's Robin Yount doll.
  9. Did those criticizing Lucroy read the entire article? The things he said were not just being blunt - they were very reasonable. We didn't hear the tone in his voice; there is no reason to think he is angry or pouting. He's not hurling insults, he's not calling anyone out. And don't worry about his words hurting his trade value. If there is a GM out there who now all of a sudden says to himself, "Wait...oh my god...why didn't I see it before? The Brewers are going to be bad this season! Hoho man, Lucroy just weakened their trade leverage BIG TIME! I'm so glad he spoke so candidly," then I hope we deal with his team, because he can be had easily.
  10. Haven't we talked about this in basically every thread for the past few years? That and Jeff Suppan.
  11. Related: lots of Brewers fans probably won a few bucks in the lottery tonight. Three of the numbers were Brewers retired numbers: 4, 19, 34.
  12. As a OTR truck driver it's impossible to post every day, but I do read everyday. You literally have become the Skip Bayless of BF. Honestly every single prospect centric move they make you go against. Then when they sign a vet you go against that. It's really annoying. http://i.imgur.com/tdASS.gif
  13. Oh, and the informant who named everybody to the reporter has recanted his story, saying he just made stuff up.
  14. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, but let's not kid ourselves. Football is a much more complicated game than baseball.
  15. And so goes another player who some of us will reference 30 years from now to show we are true Brewers fans.
  16. No, it's about not making promises that they don't know that they can deliver. There's no reason to put an arbitrary deadline on a rebuild, especially in a business with so much uncertainty. They could do everything perfectly and still not end up with the results they want. The important thing is to have a reasonable, well-thought out plan that gets implemented properly, while at the same time being able to have the mindset to be able to adapt if the reality starts veering from said plan. If we don't win in three years or five years or seven years or whatever, I'll be disappointed, but as long as I get the impression that the organization is giving it an honest effort (unlike, say, the Clippers for most of our lives), I'm not going to hang anyone in effigy.
  17. The goal isn't to lose. The goal is to rebuild. A side effect of the rebuild is losing.
  18. March 2016 NSFW NSFW
  19. I'm so sad that despite the left handedness of both my wife and I, both of our kids are righties. I was a lefty pitcher. I had such dreams for my son.
  20. I like it. And just from seeing that short Stearns video, I'm really liking how our new GM talks and thinks. Didn't hear anything about grit or gamer in that explanation.
  21. Dammit, I had Sardinas penciled in as the green lion. Now I need a new left arm.
