    OH MY GOD WHAT'S WRONG WITH DOUG? Prayers to his family.
  3. dlk9s
    WELL I DIDN'T WANT HIM ANYWAY
  4. dlk9s
    Yeah, probably more crappy ones.

    I remember seeing Loretta doing some sideline reporting during what I think was a Padres game this year. I wasn't paying close attention, so I can't say for sure if he was a reporter or just talking to the announcers as a member of the Padres front office.

    I'm pretty impressed with how belligerent and down most of your posts are.

    I might trade Maldonado for Darva Conger.
  8. dlk9s
    That doesn't amount to much. I would argue against this. We're not talking about pinch hitting.

    The manager matters very, very little. From what I can tell, where a manager matters the most is in the clubhouse. He should meddle as little as possible on the field. If you have good players, let them play. If you have bad players, you're not going to all of a sudden turn them into a winning team. People give guys like Joe Torre and Terry Francona tons of credit, but I think the Brewers could've won just fine with the players those teams had during their championship runs. Ned Yost is getting all sorts of praise, yet he makes terrible decisions time and time again. He's just lucky that his rigid bullpen management (he's my 6th inning guy, he's my 7th inning guy, he's my 8th inning guy, he's my closer) worked because his relievers were unconscious this year. If they were even just "decent," the Royals wouldn't have made the playoffs.

    I'm not saying that Lucroy is better at throwing out runners than Molina, but have you ever considered that our pitchers are pretty bad at holding runners? Because they are. We revel at how great Maldonado is at gunning it down to second and he only threw out 31.6% of base stealers.

    Exactly this. People are so obsessed with determining who "won" a trade. Both teams did just fine for themselves. So we came two games short of the WS in the variance-fest that is the MLB playoffs. So what? Cain and Escobar weren't the reason KC made the playoffs. The bullpen was. Cain certainly played a sizable role IN the playoffs, but it was still the bullpen that took them to the brink. KC is just as flawed as any other team. They rely on their bullpen to win games for them. They are virtually all pitch, no hit and hope they can stay on the positive side of variance by winning close, low scoring games. I mean, think of how close they came to NOT making the playoffs. If it wasn't for an incredibly dominant pen, they wouldn't have come close.

    I'm kind of sad that he's going to be a manager. He's my favorite player of all time, but he will inevitably get criticized relentlessly or whatever decisions he makes and get fired in a few years. I don't want to view him as just another crappy manager.
  13. dlk9s
    You are so hilariously wrong on most, if not everything, you have said.
  14. dlk9s
    I normally don't look at the tweets that ESPN flashes on the screen after games because why would I, but they just showed one from Luc congratulating Ishi. Cool.
  15. dlk9s
    The Brewers are going to the World Series!
  16. dlk9s
    I'm happy remembering what happened several years ago AND want more than an occasional post season appearance. Is that okay?
  17. dlk9s
    I'm glad they fired Iorg. HE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE DOWNFALL.
  18. dlk9s
    Exciting.
  19. dlk9s
    Let's just call the team with the best regular season record the champ. That way we guarantee the team with the best regular season record is the champ!

    When I was a kid, I always thought it was "slobber." It's "slopper." Best point to hear it in this video is the 36 second mark:
  21. dlk9s
    I like the single wild card format. Gives teams a chance to get to the World Series despite being unlucky to be stuck in a division with another great team. I HATE HATE HATE HATE the one-game play-in that they have now. And I'd expand the the first round to best of seven. If the team with the best record won every time, the Packers wouldn't have won the Super Bowl a few years ago.
  22. dlk9s
    Spending doesn't necessarily equal playoffs, but NOT spending usually means that a team won't have an extended window at having the chance to make the playoffs. Things can certainly come together for a low payroll team in a given year, but that success isn't going to last long.
  23. dlk9s
    I would be 100% on-board with this. I'm getting all tingly just thinking about it. Imagine the manager/umpire arguments!
  24. dlk9s
    Well then I REALLY hope Sheffield doesn't make the HOF.
  25. dlk9s
    Yes, we all know this. Nobody is saying the Brewers should offer him a contract. People just liked the guy, enjoyed watching play when he was doing well, and appreciated that he spent a decade in Milwaukee. It's ok to like players if they aren't stars.
