    Another thread says to check Sports Bubbler later tonight or tomorrow.

    Excessive punctuation encouraged!!!!!!!!!!

    There was some discussion of this in the in-game thread. It was an issue that was DirecTV's fault, and it appears to be fixed now.

    Look around 680. I can't confirm because I'm not at home, but that's the vacinity of where the alternate channel usually is.

    Stealing some verbiage from bball123h regarding other "insider" information: "It would be nice if people would be given the benefit of the doubt when they get info.... If we continue to accuse those who have that info, chances are we will stop receiving it. It's one thing to be skeptical, but it's another thing to challenge a member's credibility every step of the way. There's no need to be rude. Go with the flow.

    Nick isn't confused. Steve is.

    I wonder if their is a type of insurance the Brewers can take out that would protect them financially if CC were to get hurt? This is routine in baseball. Significant injuries can be covered by insurance, but lack of performance can't be. As Roderick says, Lloyd's of London is one of the major providers of this type of insurance. A policy would designate a minimum time span for insurance to kick in, such as 90 days on the DL, out for the season, etc. And there would be some kind of deductible, such as the insurance covering 80% of the player's contract. Of course, for insurance to be reasonably obtainable, the player would have to be a decent risk. For instance, unless we see Sheets pitch before the season is out, he'd have to have a pretty clean doctor's report to be insurable next season.

    Taking things a step further, the time for smallball is when you have a good pitcher on both your side and the opponent's side. As you say, a good pitcher on your side doesn't add up as a rationale when you're likely to be able to insure against that pitcher tossing a gopher ball with a runner or two on. On the other side of the coin, if your own pitching is likely to suck, smallball isn't likely to get you very far even if the other team's pitcher is good.

    There's some not particularly helpful stuff about the reply and page numbering bug in the new toys thread. I haven't heard anything about this since it was first reported. All I know is that it's a mess, and the further we move ahead from the last push, the more likely it becomes that we'll have to wait even longer. What's frustrating is that this is something that used to work just fine. It's not like a new feature was introduced with part of the new feature being flaky.

    Yuku has made this toy a Supporters-only feature. Money will fix the issue. topics / replies per page preference now a Supporter feature

    Smallball strategies are most appropriately used in "run constrained" situations. With the pitcher not finding the plate, I'd hardly call tonight's Hall situation "run-constrained." I think smallball becomes overrated when large audiences see playoff teams employing the strategy. During the playoffs, there's good pitching on both sides, and scoring is suppressed. It's appropriate that smallball could kick in more often than it would against most regular season opponents.

    I believe non-Road Runner customers can tap into the service for a nominal fee. I'm not sure of the logistics involved.

    bbrauch, intentionally lying is what's problematic. I don't see a problem with the way the chips are falling here.

    For the last game of Attanasio's first season, all tickets to the game were free. Those who had already purchased tickets received vouchers for a game the following year. The voucher might have been restricted to April. I believe attendance was announced at about 13,000, with about 27-28,000 actually in the park.

    The Brewers could: Drop him and not receive picks. Offer him arby and hope another team takes a flyer on him. Sign him with the possibility of going to arbitration.
  19. 1992casey
    If it comes down an arbitrator decision, the player gets a one year non-guaranteed contract.

    I've edited several long and/or nested quotes in this thread, including one that included the mod notations from the lead post. Please keep the site quote guidelines in mind.

    So... what kind of vibes should the next IGT feature?
  22. 1992casey
    My fault. I should have left this disclaimer. Do NOT directly copy and paste the [ code ] [/ code ] tags from the lead. I had to cheat to make them post. What you see isn't actually what you're copying. Had I not cheated, the tags would have rendered the text rather than displaying the bbcodes. When you do a regular copy/paste, you're also copying the workaround to make them show up. You can paste my template into a word processor or text editor, then select/copy/paste again. That'll get rid of the HTML that's hiding in there. If you happen to have the Firefox Extended Copy Menu extension installed, you can choose to copy as plain text. Or the simplest solution would be to type [ code ] [ / code] yourself (without the spaces), and you should be fine. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Note: A disclaimer is now added to the lead.

    However, saying "To suggest that people who boo lack class is so categorical as to be ridiculous" insults the segment of members who disagree with this statement and crosses the condescension line.
  24. 1992casey
    bleacher10, you need to work on the tone of your posts. "GET REAL" and calling people "pal" when you're calling them out cross the condescension line. Please give the Rules of Conduct a reread. Also, take a look at the membership application you read before becoming a member, specifically the part about "smack talk." I've edited out the multiple emots in reply #10. And while it's occasionally justified, try to respond to more than one post at a time and avoid consecutive posts. As examples of how to post, look at the tone of the messages from others above.

    We've been getting posts throughout the season saying to expect some kind of regression to the mean. The mean isn't bad, but it isn't outstanding, either. It's not like I'd be against bringing Solomon back next year, but it'd be nice to upgrade the team's closer if the opportunity presents itself. The weird thing is the deja vu all over again mentioned in the lead post. Hopefully, something can happen to make yesterday's appearance less memorable.
