  1. 2-0 both the Monday and Wednesday game last week versus the Braves.
  2. If I added it up correctly, according to the 538 season game by game odds, in games where we had a 42% chance or less of winning we were 8-5 with 4 of those losses started by Houser. We beat Grienke x2, Verlander, Flaherty x2. Houser isn't starting so they are saying there is a chance.
  3. A buddy of mine mentioned that Arcia’s HR swing the other night looked like Baez. Does look similar in the few videos I watched. Would be nice if it translates to remotely similar production, or heck even the average of the two of them.
  4. A winning road trip with one to play yet. That is what makes playoff baseball teams.
  5. Wilson now has 1 fewer HR this week than his previous season high. Dale is magic.
  6. It's a life changing diagnosis. You never know what goes through his mind, but I'm guessing both Covey and his family feel that he is better off staying close to home while he learns to live with diabetes. Unfortunate as it is, this does lower Covey's stock. Hopefully he can work through this and pitch like a stud at San Diego.I was more responding to the fact that some here thought the Brewers would shy away from him due to the diagnosis. I can understand why he might want to be closer to home, although I don't know that being 2 hours away really makes a difference. Diabetes is something you have to deal with on a continual basis, you can't go home to deal with it. I guess being close to family and to see them on weekends and such for support can help I think it is unfortunate that in a circumstance like this, an arbitrary deadline causes someone to make a decision prematurely. Fortunately with current technology he can lead as close to a normal life as possible until they find a cure.
  7. I really can't figure out why the whole type 1 diabetes is relevant. There are other type 1 diabetics in pro sports including pitchers, quarterbacks and NBA players. I wouldn't think it would affect the Brewers wanting to sign him. Perhaps it changed his outlook on life a little as it can cause problems later in life, but I know a ton of type 1 diabetics in their 30s (including my wife) do to a ton of volunteer work for Juvenile diabetes Research foundation JDRF and you wouldn't even know it except for a pump on their hip. Heck I just watched a bunch of them ride 100 miles in a charity ride this weekend. It isn't like it hinders your athletic ability. I also don't get why he wouldn't want to go pro then and have some of the best Dr's and nutritionists available to him to help him with this new development.
  8. Watching "the doorman" jaw with big z. I think zambrano just invited him into the dugout to settle their beef.
  9. I just keep remembering 2 years ago leaving Boston on May 19th after a 5 game losing streak and being so demoralized that I thought the season was over at 20-24. Then somehow a little over a month an a half later the team was 49-40 and a guy named CC was taking the mound for the Crew for the first time and this all with Ned at the helm who most thought was more inept than Macha.
  10. Got my 20 pack on Thursday! Loge Diamond box this year. Can't wait for opening day.
  11. Smart move. The more time fans spend at the stadium the more revenue the team brings in. Plus more "entertainment" time per dollar I spent on my tickets for next year. Seriously though he did well in the pen and perhaps is comfortable here so can't hurt assuming the dollars aren't too high.
  12. I like it, more flexibility in the IF, keeps Kendall from leading off against lefties, and hopefully he continues getting on base 40 points above his career and last 3 year average.
  13. I got mine today and my buddy got his as well, we live in Appleton and Neenah. 20 game fan's choice packs.
