    Are you driving from Kenosha and hoping to park somewhere north and take the train in?

    It'd be nice if there was some indoor facility that teams could share during April at least. Kinda like Petit Center but for baseball. Yes, I realize the ceiling would have to be really tall.

    I'll give them eleven teen more mistakes.

    Love the shot of The Doorman

    So you most likely have Hernan and then top of the order in the 9th. I'll take it.

    Maybe I'm misremembering or I can't find the articlebut I thought there was a retrospective about it and that was the story. Anyway, there WERE people calling him and complaining: But Packers chairman and CEO Bob Harlan hinted strongly on Friday that the Packers’ front office is going through the same sort of character risk-versus-reward debate they did before signing former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson last fall. And Harlan says fans who have called his office to weigh in on Moss generally don’t like the idea of trading for a receiver who might be past his prime, might be playing his way out of a second NFL city because of his questionable attitude — and, by the way, once pretended to “moon” the fans at Lambeau after scoring a touchdown. “I don’t want to say it’s been overwhelming, but there have been a few fans who (complained),” Harlan said. “And the thing they basically say to me is, “You guys have so much class. Don’t lose class now.'” Harlan, who is retiring in May, said he is very concerned about maintaining the team’s image. And those concerns will play a role in whether the team pushes ahead toward a trade. “I’ve had fans call me and say, ‘Bob, I’d rather see you go 0-16 than do some things that were done here in the ’80s,'” Harlan said. “And believe me, I’m as concerned about the image of this franchise as anybody, and will be years from now. It’s not just because I’m leaving. I’m very concerned about how we look next year and the year after that. So we’re going to be cautious.”

    Rock, that throw was not all that accurate.
  9. homer
    Wow, what a horrible call Sedar.
  10. homer
    I can tell this Flaherty guy is going to bother me his entire career.
  11. homer
    Nice to see The Doorman and his wife in attendance.
  12. homer
    It's the Lance Lynn effect!
  13. homer
    Well you're leaving it up to the discretion of the umpire at that point too, so probably not a great idea. I think it's good umpires can use common sense to bend a rule this way, but there should be some sort of punishment for the team delaying the game. Maybe a "delay of game" penalty, lol. First batter gets an automatic walk or something. Also, I think if a manager has done this before they would be much less likely to allow it going forward.
  14. homer
    Or you are reporting what BW is saying Check the time stamps, champ
  15. homer
    Without looking I'm guessing his home road splits could be chalked up to a few bad starts at home.
  16. homer
    OK, Cain can stay
  17. homer
    Oh yeah. Derp. Although that only counts the balls you get to I suppose. Sorry, I don't want this to go off the rails. I'll look up the D stats when I have time. Thanks.

    Needs to hit and reduce errors. Errors aren't everything, but being first in the league certainly is a bad title to have. His 20 were 8 more than third place. While looking that up I saw we had the most errors "leaders" at three positions: Broxton, Arcia, Villar. Do they track errors per "attempt"? So if you get to more balls you have more chances for an error. Just curious.
  19. homer
    Cut Cain. Cut Yelich
  20. homer
    I should say, he fits the Stearns profile except for the not hitting part. But I guess he'd have a job if he could do that.
  21. homer
    Haudricourt says he's drawing a "blank" on the name. So I'll go with... Andres Blanco Plays multiple positions including 3rd and is a switch hitter. Recently released. Fits Stearns profile to a T.
  22. homer
    My issue with Lawrie is that Edward 40Hands is supposed to be BOTH hands. Clearly he has only taped one hand here which is pointless as any self respecting bro could finish a single 40 ouncer without setting it down. Yes, maybe he's finished the other 40 but why take the tape and bottle off? You aren't finished until BOTH bottles are finished. Either case it's a major red flag.

    Was that ever substantiated? I could swear it was said by him in a published interview. I might have even seen him say it. I guess I'm not 100% sure, but I think the exact quote was something like "why he would leave the sample sit so long, I don't know - maybe it's because he's a Cub fan, maybe he's an anti-semite, whatever - but it does appear pretty suspicious". ETA: Could also be it was in a report of what people say he told them, as opposed to Braun saying it publicly himself. In any case, I vaguely remember a quote like that being attributed to Braun. There were lots of reports on that from mainstream sources: https://www.si.com/si-wire/2013/08/19/ryan-braun-discredit-urine-collector More ETA: So he brought up race and religion, and then made the statement that I paraphrased above. The implication that Laurenzi was an anti-semite was not as direct as I made it out to be, at least in the sense that race and religion was in the previous paragraph of Braun's statement. Pathetic. He never said it in an interview. Here is where it originated: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9579944/ryan-braun-lobbied-veteran-players-support-appeal-sources-say Tulowitzki denied that the disgraced Brewers star accused Laurenzi of being an anti-Semite or a Cubs fan during the appeals process. "He never tried to change my opinion of the subject or anything like that," Tulowitzki told Yahoo! Sports. "It was more, 'Hey, how is this going? Is this taking a toll on you?'"

    1) he cheated 2) he lied about it 3) he rubbed people's noses in it when he was exonerated on a technicality I think most people could forgive 1 and even 2. It's #3 that really ticks people off. There was no need at all for that press conference. I will say that on the surface it appears as if he's been somewhat humbled (if not humiliated) by the whole experience. Maybe he is a better person for having been caught. Who knows. All I know is you should never think you know everything about an athlete/celebrity because you really know very little about them.
