    That's why I go with mutts. Pure breeds are too much trouble.

    This is correct. Braun does not stand there and admire is homers. In fact, Prince does it WAY more often. Braun at most pauses a second to watch it fly, then puts his head down and runs. Sometimes he'll start jogging and watch it. I'm not seeing what I want. Since Braun was criticized in his first season or two for being a showboat, I've paid attention to what he does and I cannot think of a time in recent memory when he has jacked a homer and stood there striking a pose.

    No, he doesn't. Granted, I don't watch every game, as I'm not in the local television market, but I at least watch highlights every day. When's the last time he admired one, 2008? I think that was the year of the infamous late inning blast that he watched against St. Louis. In fact, I've noticed that he seems to make a concerted effort to just put his head down and run, probably because he caught flack for some swagger a few years ago.

    He's just trying to make sure the bullpen can hear him.
  5. dlk9s
    Next he'll blame Buffalo Wild Wings.

    Most of the ESPN guys believe TLR's story about the "miscommunication" with the bullpen, as well.
  7. dlk9s
    And TLR claimed in the press conference that it was so loud in the stadium that the bullpen coach didn't hear him say to get Motte warmed up. Screw you, TLR. You have some nerve, spewing crap like that all season.

    Some would certainly say it is. If I were going to point to Pujols though I'd look at the fact he watches his home runs for like an hour each and every time as showing up other teams more than any beast mode could. I agree, but Prince watches some of his tape measure jobs too. What gets me is when Pujols watches a long fly ball, and it ends up not going out of the park. To my knowledge, Prince has never done that. Right. Everyone admires their home runs sometimes. Pujols does it every single time. And his doubles. And his warning track outs.

    It's different than when someone wildly celebrates a sack or a first down when losing by 21. When the Brewers would do Beast Mode on a ho-hum single or on a double when down by six in the 8th inning, they wouldn't go nuts with it. They'd just do a quick, non-demonstrative hand motion to the bench. It's just an "air high five." If a teammate was next to them, they'd high five him. It would be an exuberant high five if it was big deal hit and just an "atta boy" high five or pat on the back if it was relatively meaningless.

    Getting Dunn would be a horrible move. Even if he bounces back to be mediocre at the plate, he'd actually be a downgrade from Prince in the field.

    Maybe someone said something funny? You ever try to lighten a bad or serious mood with a joke?

    I think any criticisms of Prince base running are silly. He's slow, but he's not a bad base runner. He's a big, burly power hitter - guys like that aren't often speedsters.

    Honestly, I like that the Brewers are "immature." I don't want them being jerks or anything (I probably value having guys I can enjoy rooting for over guys who are amazing players), but I like it when they do things their own way and have fun. Baseball is such a fogey sport; for some reason people, including players, management, and league execs, think that if you aren't straight faced and "serious about your job" all the time that you aren't respecting the game. The Cardinals are nauseating - their act is more tiresome than the Brewers' act has ever been. I wasn't a big fan of Nyjer antagonizing "Alberta" with his tweeting, but things like that aren't really that big of a deal (besides, who ever thought THAT would come back to bite him in the ass?) when compared to the positives he has brought to the team, its fans, and Milwaukee. As long as the players and coaches work hard at being the best they can and are good people, I'm all for them being goofy. Heck, people LOVED the Boston "Idiots" of the mid-2000's. The Brewers' personality is half of what made them a hell of a lot of fun this year. One reason we still romanticize the 1982 team is because they were a bunch of fun-loving characters, in addition to being a fantastic team and our only World Series representative. Long live Beast Mode, Untuck'em, Tony Plush, Carlos Gomez's somersaults, and Axford's facial hair. Long live the Brewers.

    It's not as bad as reading passages from Emily Post, which is what they plan on doing next.

    I don't understand why people pick on the Brewers for "Beast Mode" when most teams do some sort of "air high five." The Rangers have their "antlers" and "claw" and nobody says anything about it. The D-backs instituted their "snake bite" or whatever it was called and people thought it was fun. I've seen other teams do stuff like a "spotlight" and a "hook" and people say, "Look at that camaraderie." Yet when the Brewers do "Beast Mode," it's obnoxious. I guess all teams should be like the Cardinals and not ever smile when playing a fun game, saving quiet, gentle, approving handshakes for when someone folds a perfect pocket square.

    Sad ending, but great season. For years, I didn't even think the Brewers would make it to an LCS in my lifetime. http://i.imgur.com/BiWi5.gif

    Not everybody deals with losing by putting on a grumpy face. Perhaps somebody said something that made him smile.
  21. dlk9s
    Heaven forbid they enjoy themselves.
  22. dlk9s
    Simple solution; I will not watch any MLBNetwork, ESPN, or Local News for the next week Yup, keeping it on NFL Network.

    I was going to give Yuni a standing ovation in case this is his last Brewers AB, but I'm kind of glued in place right now.
  24. dlk9s
    Standing ovation for Prince from me.

    I think that's been the big difference in the two teams' starting pitching this series. They've both been bad, but the carnage was very quick for the Brewers, which didn't allow RR to get the pitchers out of the game in time. The Cards' starters had their damage develop more slowly, so TLR could go to his pen before it got out of hand, except in Game 1.
