Road Record: 4th best in baseball (July 24th)
jeffy replied to PaulRigdon's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Wow, that is amazing both the Brewer's finally having a winning road record and that they are 4th best at 1 over .500. There are only 4 teams over .500 and one at .500 in all of mlb. -
That article indicates Dontrelle Willis is in A ball, is that right? Wow!
-
If you get to meet whoever was at 3rd, ask them about Rapuano's call and what his call would have been had Rapuano bothered to ask him.

Assuming there is someone on the bench that is better on the road, I wonder if Pinella will go to a home/road platoon http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yeah, if you are out of market how can it not be worth $1-1.50 per game to see your team and if you can't come up with $160-200 for it, your priorities are really screwed up http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. I mean c'mon, even at minimum wage that would be less than 40 hours of extra work...if I had to stand at the counter at Culvers/McDonalds/Hardees for 40 hours in order to watch ~480 hours of Brewer baseball, I'd take that trade-off.

Interesting but he would not be allowed to pitch on day 15, if he is on the DL, right? The next road start for Bush/McClung would be Aug 5 in Cincinatti. In the last 3 years, Bush has ERA over 14 at Great American Ballpark...that is the place where is ERA is highest, in fact. Using Yost's logic, maybe a spot start for Villaneuva is called for...ERA 0.9 at Great American.
-
Is that even possible? When making a double switch, my understanding was the manager has to go to the umpire first.
-
I know that guy in the booth agrees with this sort of thinking..."can't let X beat you". But I just don't get it...why should I care if Pujols "beats us" or some other player does? I would not want to see him or anyone else put on base as the tying or go-ahead run.
-
At what point should the Cubs and their fans get nervous?
jeffy replied to BrewCityUnit's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Maybe...but what if they split both series? -
Yost: Rickie's "doing fine," but has "never achieved"
jeffy replied to AJAY's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I would not assume that because Yost says "Rickie's doing fine" to JS reporters means that this is the same message being given to Rickie. In fact it seems pretty clear it is not, since they just made a trade that gives them an alternative at 2nd. -
I would think the revenue would be directly related to the number of viewers and, for example, 50,000 viewers of each of 10 regional sports networks would be of the same aggregate value as those same 500,000 viewers all watching Fox.
-
Really? How long has this been the case? I see it is true, I just flipped to those time warner channels and it is showing the schedule of games. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
-
The funny thing is, Yost is making this decision based on numbers. He's just not following any line of thought regarding sample size or any other research principle. Not surprising since he has been know to choose a position player to start against a particular pitcher based on him being something like 3 for 5 against that pitcher. But, to me it is not even that, Bush has aparently been pretty consistently much better at home than on the road over several years (then again, this seems to apply to the whole team), the problem is the other effects of this that have been pointed out...limited use of one bullpen spot and perhaps messing up both of them because they do not have a normal routine. But maybe it will work out okay with the competition between the two of them pushing them both to do well.

Hope for rain in the listed Fox game That won't help if they don't show SD at St. Louis, the other Fox games are Philadelphia at FL and Boston at LA. I'm assuming we get the StL game, which is at least of some interest.
-
I see "Brewers squeeze play" listed at 10 pm
-
Fox and FSN are both Fox. So, assuming the revenue from HS softball on FSN is insignificant, how does FOX earn more by having me watch the Cardinals on Fox, rather than the Brewers on FSN? How do they gain from someone, who would otherwise be watching the Brewers on FSN but is not interested in the watching the Cardinals game, watching a non-Fox network or nothing at all?
-
Does that perhaps mean that they suspect that it is an idiotic idea?
-
What I don't get is why Fox thinks they would be harmed by letting us watch the Brewers on Fox Sports Net?
-
Mark A, Thanks for spending some of your vast wealth on an attempt to get the Milwaukee Brewers to the WS for the first time in 26 years. Signed, The six hundred thousand (???) long-suffering Brewer fans

Since when is anyone limited to owning only what they "need"? I have no desire to own multiple houses or anything that huge myself and do think those who do are kinda nuts.
-
Yes, I had read something about how paying so much for the stadium would reduce the MLB "luxury tax" for the Yankees. It is even better for them, because if the $400 million went to their competitors it would mean the other teams have more to spend on players meaning the Yankees would have to spend more to outbid them. I do agree that doing well by owning the Brewers is good for him and good for us.

Continued increases in franchise values are not guaranteed True, but the same can be said of any other risky investments, which do not come with the perks of being the owner of an MLB team. Owning rental property often works similarly, your landlord may be claiming losses on his/her taxes every year but hopes to sell for a large profit someday. The Brewers financial picture appears to be better than, for example, the NY Yankees: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/33/biz_baseball08_New-York-Yankees_334613.html Yankees 1-Yr Value Chg. 9% Ann. Value Chg. 2 15% Debt/Value 3 77% Revenue 4 $327 mil Operating Inc. 5 $-47.3 mi Brewers 1-Yr Value Chg. 15% Ann. Value Chg. 2 14% Debt/Value 3 36% Revenue 4 $158 mil Operating Inc. 5 $19.2 mil 2Current team value compared with latest transaction price. 3Includes stadium debt. 4Net of stadium revenues used for debt payments. 5Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Yankees debt to value ratio would appear to mean they have about $1 billion in debt...wow!

If MLB player's union operated like a normal labor union, there might be a little more equity...like higher major league minimum and minor league pay, in exchange for a bit less going to free agents. Instead, the players union seems to want more of a winner-take-all system.
-
Apparently you read my comments as "blasting" Mark A. Which was not the case. I was not criticising him, but rather the incomplete financial picture that the reporter chose to present. The article mentions guaranteed "red-ink" and the purchase price, but leaves out the current value. I think a nearly 50% increase in the value of what was purchased three years ago is relevant to the financial picture.
-
Mark A. is great and all, but when they talk about "losing money" they always ignore the ever increasing value of the franchise. After owning it for about 3 years, the team could be sold for a profit of about a $110 million, according to Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/33/biz_baseball08_Milwaukee-Brewers_337147.html Plus any net profits from selling would be capital gains and taxed at only 15% by the Feds.
