    I heard Counsell threatened to "kick his punk ass" every day if he didn't do intravenous drugs with him in the parking lot.

    The bottom line is probably that DJ got paid a good deal more by Cincy, so he bolted. Good for him.

    Sure it is. Managers make tons of decisions over a 162-game season. There will be plenty of incorrect ones or good ones that just had bad results. Speaking of coaches making GOOD decisions, I'm available to be the Brewers pitching coach. I'm cheap.

    Of course the front office was more of an influence. They were the ones who acquired/drafted the players. Coaches can be good, bad, or in between, but the players are the ones who determine whether or not the team loses.

    Every manager does stupid things. CC made fewer of them than most managers this year.

    I believe they won the three-legged race at summer camp.

    I mean, I know Grandal was our NLCS MVP, but....

    Money makes it easier but you still have to be competent. I don't think $200 million would suddenly make it easy for the Brewers. Lots of teams have had plenty of money and been dry for a long time. The Yankees have not really been all that great for the last 15 years or so. There was basically no separation between the Dodgers and Brewers. Money was not why the Brewers missed out on the WS. The Cardinals are competitive every year without a really monster payroll, the Royals won two pennants and a championship. The money thing is just sort of played out. That is MLB, it is not changing, so we are better off just learning how to compete under these circumstances, which we are doing. I am convinced that money will not prevent the Brewers from winning a championship. Money doesn't guarantee championships, but it gives a team a head start. It also, and probably more importantly, allows teams to recover from mistakes. Teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs, can much more easily bounce back from bad personnel moves, bad drafts, and just bad seasons in general. Teams like the Brewers and Royals can't afford many mistakes. They can't afford not to hit on trades when they give up four prospects. They need everything to come together almost perfectly.

    I hope that woman in the Dodgers cap from a couple innings ago is cheering her head off.

    I wish it could be us losing Game 5 tonight.

    I just use gifs.

    Yelich won the NL Hank Aaron Award J.D. Martinez won it in the AL.

    Yeah, Stearns was clearly just comparing his time as a Brewer to his time as an Oriole.

    "Theft by swindle" sounds like something an 11-year old kid would get slapped with after committing a crime on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in the 1920's.

    *shrug* Don't care about the Dodgers.

    It really wasn't Michael Jackson grabbing HIS crotch that was the problem.

    Get Machado to admit in a televised interview that he does, in fact, have a butthole and that he actually does poop.

    Please educate everyone.

    I know that we faced pretty much no bad pitchers in the playoffs, but the lack of contact hitting stood out like a sore thumb. My #1 goal is to fill in a couple spots in the lineup with guys who have good plate discipline and can put the ball in play. Don't care if they are from inside or outside the organization. As soon as we were losing last night, it seemed hopeless. I'm not overly concerned about a SP, but a #2-type guy, give or take, would be nice. If Nelson comes back and remotely resembles himself pre-injury, a Nelson-Woodruff-Burnes-Chacin-Anderson/Davies/Peralta rotation would be pretty darn nice. Grab a another highish-level pitcher to slot in and the bullpen becomes even better. I'm actually pretty cool with our catching situation. Pina seemed to improve at the plate toward the end of the season. Both he and Kratz are good defensively and look like great teammates. Pina starter, Kratz backup - I would not play Kratz as much as they did in the playoffs. I do understand wanting to try to get Nottingham going, though.

    In a full stadium, a top-flight wave can be really neat, especially if you can get some sort of variety going, like double, opposite direction waves. Problem is, high quality ones are rare and it is annoying to be in the section where someone is trying to get it started. You almost need an official wave-starter or something so fans get onboard quickly. I wouldn't want a wave in a big game, though. Too distracting.

    Game 6 is on MLB Network right now.

    Obviously I want the Brewers to win 10-0, but there is part of me, even if it takes a year off of my life, that would love to see a walk-off homer.

    All this talk about the bullpen makes me think, "Please let us score runs off of Buehler so that this conversation is necessary." Buehler is crazy good. I'm so nervous that he's going to shut us down. There's also that part of me that's thinking that we're due for a bad game from a starter. We'll see what happens!
  25. dlk9s
    I think he absolutely pitches unless the game quickly gets out of hand in either direction or Buehler is completely lights out.
