homer

This sent me down a shallow rabbit hole. Anyone know if they track bunt attempts for a hit as opposed to sacrifice? I only spent a few min on it but thought it'd be pretty easy to find.

to wit

it's not just Brewer fans. No one can believe this is all the Brewers gave up.

I keep reading these looking for additional names

then there has to be more than Ruiz. Adames?

If it's Ruiz for Contreras straight up.... that would make me kind of happy

You get a catcher! and you get a catcher! and you get a catcher!

I think the Brewers are doing the Bonilla thing with Braun until something like 2031. (and Cain too I believe)

that is not true. can we stop worrying so much about other posters and just provide our own opinions? if you don't think Frelick is that great just say so and state your reasons why.

guys, chill out

Toro can play all over the place, He will most likely be a super utility guy, IMO

Toro is Canadian. Doug Melvin approves.

I liked Toro at one point. He had some really good years in the minors but it just hasn't translated to the bigs yet. He has that positional flexibility the Brewers like.

Did you end up pulling the trigger on this?

That's awesome! You've been talking about this for such a long time I'm glad it finally became a reality for you.

Robinhood has a new "Gold" service that pays 3.75 drawback is you have to pay $5 a month so obviously you shouldn't put $1000 in there.

I dunno. I think it depends on what they do around the stadium and how expensive the tickets are. Plenty of Marquette kids can walk there.

Is a high interest rate on a new mortgage as big a deal as it used to be? Sure you have a higher payment initially but re-financing takes like 15 minutes now. Maybe the rules around that have changed since I did it way back when. Obviously if you can wait it out, then do so.

Presidents can't really impact gas prices. People have been blaming the president for spikes in gas prices since GW Bush. They can't cause them to spike and they certainly can't cause them to drop five weeks or so before midterms (I guess they could if they waged war on Canada). Gas prices are very complex mechanisms and vary greatly from region to region and state to state. A lot of gas price fluctuations in the US are tied to refinery issues or non issues and state taxes/regulations. We actually are producing a LOT of oil right now and even with Covid we produced a LOT of oil - more in 2020 and 2021 than 2018: https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/us_oil.php U.S. crude oil production in our forecast averages 11.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2022 and 12.6 million b/d in 2023, which would set a record for the most U.S. crude oil production during a year. The current record is 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. We produce enough domestic oil to meet all our consumption needs but we are unable to refine all of it hence why we export so much. It has very little to do with environmental policy or lack of drilling. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/america-produces-enough-oil-to-meet-its-needs-so-why-do-we-import-crude Had we thought about it 30 or 40 years ago we probably could have built a bunch of new refineries but that didn't happen and it was because of a lack of foresight from both parties....or because having other countries rely on us for oil gave us some kind of leverage.

The Keystone pipeline that was axed would not have been online until 2023 and many oil companies cut production on their own accord when demand fell off a cliff during the pandemic. I think the Venezuela thing was allowing Chevron to up their production.

Depends where you live. Great Lakes probably won't be impacted by the OPEC thing.

Well I guess I know what I'm getting while the wife is out for girl's night on Friday...even though we made pizza last night. edit:. there goes that idea Speaking of homemade pizza, Naan bread makes for a darn good crust.
