  1. Facing budget cuts from signing Hoskins, wardrobe has been forced to use clothes left by the former ownership...
  2. I'm in the words of Junior Spivey, "devastated." Also find it a bit ironic that the thumbnail for the MLB article is him in the "inverted W" arm shape...
  3. Brosseau doing his best Ryan Braun impression today.
  4. I'll take these guys' approach over watching Keston whiff at high fastballs any day of the week.
  5. I think there’s a distinction to be made between whether it’s a good baseball decision or a good business decision. Seems pretty obvious to me that it’s a superior business decision given the market the club operates in. I’d say the jury is still out on whether it’s a good baseball decision— there’s plenty of teams that have limped into the playoffs then carried a hot streak to a World Series win, so it’s quite possible this may eventually work for the Brewers too.
  6. Was at the game, was probably around 40% Brewers fans. Good crowd overall.
  7. I don't follow, wouldn't he receive his salary regardless given that it's a guaranteed contract? Assuming he doesn't retire, which seems possible, if not likely? Cain is in my Brewer Hall of Very Good. A fun player to watch, who seemed like a good human as well. Shame he spent a lot of his best years with another club, but the trade made sense at the time. For his return, the Brewers FO deserves some credit in correctly valuing his contract and taking on the right amount of risk. I can respect his decision to put his family before money or baseball in 2020, the money the club saved there may have factored into the calculus of the timing of his DFA. I'm also curious who pays for the pension, does it come out of a central pot or is it broken up by service time? Or something else completely? Wonder how much a players physical decline can be attributed to being unwilling to change their conditioning as they age. What worked for you as a 25 year old is not going to be enough as a 35 year old.
  8. Did anyone think that when Stearns mentioned the "environment" he was referring to the deadness of the current baseballs?
  9. Pretty sure Prince Fielder could have scored there. Rowdy is about Pujols-speed.
  10. Lemme get a Cain backleg salami on a hero with oil and vinegar please.
  11. Whatever number of days before we have roboumps is too many.
  12. Is Schwindel using a knuckleballer catcher's mitt? That thing is massive.
  13. Abbreviated Spring Training, cold day with the wind blowing out at Wrigley, not surprising to me that he's not mowing down hitters in the manner we've become accustomed to seeing.
  14. Great to see TTO legends Rob Deer, Gorman Thomas, and Russell Branyan topping that list. Unfortunate for Deer (and his wallet) that the Sabermetric revolution would take a few more decades to hit, he managed 3.7 WAR in his age 31 season for Detroit.
  15. +1 for finding the web experience a bit scroll-happy. In most cases there's only room for 2 or 3 posts on a single screen.
  16. Hard for me to ignore the what-ifs around the Brewers having the means to pay for Castellanos instead of Garcia.
  17. Yelich seems like he only takes a full swing on pitches he has no chance of making contact with
  18. All I can is laugh at the announcers mentioning that Yelich will get an AB if anyone manages to get on base.
  19. At this point you have to consider the Braves organization complicit for not figuring out an alternative cheer to keep their fans from embarrassing themselves on national TV.
