    Probably more of a negative for the pitcher than the batter. The batter should be able to pick up the ball quicker as it will have a stain on it.

    For tonight's game I hope the Brewers come out attacking the fastball when they see it again. I don't care if the count is 0-0 or 3-0 if the fastball is over the plate you better be swinging.

    It wasn't clearly a strike but the same pitch location was called a strike twice afterwards. The umpire scorecard also gives the umpire a few inches on the outside of the zone as true strikes and not a negative. So if they are called a ball that is ok and if they are called a strike that is also ok. Not 100% perfect but close enough. There were only 4 horrible calls last night for strikes and 6 bad ball counts. The pitch by Peralta last night should have been called a strike but it wasn't an absolutely horrible call either it was close enough where it could be called a ball or a strike. The umpire last night only really missed 4 horrible calls which should have been called strikes instead of balls.

    Cardinals starting pitching: Brewers starting pitching: Other than Montgomery I don't see a decent starter on their team. Wainwright has pitched one game and it went poorly so far. Matz is completely unreliable and is looking like a bad Lauer right now. Flaherty is closer to Junk than he is to Rea. Woodford is basically Rea on the Brewers. Mikolas is also pitching like Rea so far. The Cardinals have a bunch of #4, 5, 6 and 7 starters in the 2-5 spots in their rotation. If Wainwright falters even a little bit and at 41 years old that is extremely possible that team has only Montgomery holding their starting rotation together. If the Cardinals do not get better results from their starting pitchers their season is done. It won't matter if their offense improves if their starting pitching also does not improve.

    or when he took off all his catching gear at home plate after arguing with an umpire?

    The Blackhawks have been stuck in salary cap jail for awhile now. It is not like they could have tried to sign a free agent this past off season to try and win. They tried that the year before and it blew up in their face. This was just a bad aging team that they now have all of their bad contracts for the most part over with.

    There are not bad but they are not 2019 Scherzer and Strausburg or 2022 Wheeler and Nola.

    Since the forum was acting weird. I was able to catch Tyler Childers in concert and that was a really good concert. Also check out Charley Crockett.

    Sweet Bedard to the Blackhawks!!!!

    Both of those teams had better starting pitchers than the '23 Cardinals do.

    The Cardinals would have to go 68-59 to reach Fangraph's win total which is within reason. For the Brewers to reach 86 wins that is a 67-60 record the rest of the way which is also within reason. The Cardinals may not have a losing season but I don't see them winning more than 86 games this year. They would need to go on an epic run in June and July to do so which means only losing about 5-games in those two months and also turn it around in May and only lose about 5 of their remaining 22 games. The only easy games for the Cardinals left this month are the Reds(4) and Royals (2). The way that MLB has the schedule setup now it is not as easy as it was like last year where you could beat up on the Reds and Pirates for 6 games a month.

    This is MLB.TV's free game of the day. If you live outside of the Brewers and Dodgers TV area then you can watch today for free on MLB.TV.

    I think the Knicks would only be interested in Middleton if they thought they could get Giannis also otherwise I don't see the Knicks being all that interested. The Knicks are probably the favorites to get Giannis if Giannis wants out as they have the picks to offer the Bucks. The Knicks have 1 '23 1st round pick from the Mavericks and 3 first round picks in '24 with one of them being their own. So if the Bucks want three first round picks they could take all of the Knicks 1st round picks in '24. You are looking at two possible lottery picks with the Pistons and Wizards '24 1st round picks. Something like Randle, Robinson, and the three '24 1st round picks for Giannis. I don't think the Bucks should or would do this but I think that is close to what could be expected for a Giannis trade. I would rather get back Powell and Morris for Middleton than take on Kawhi. I don't think Kawhi is even interested in playing basketball anymore. He won his championship and got paid I don't think he would put in the time to get better. I think Kawhi would be extremely toxic for the Bucks.

    Well that is a good start.

    I don't think it is the launch angle that is the issue for Yelich. In the upper zone you will want to have a more flatter swing otherwise you look like Hiura and you just whiff at those pitches as you can't get the bat to the ball with a huge uppercut swing. The -11 on the inside of the plate is a problem though for Yelich that means he is basically jamming himself on pitches middle in. Throughout Yelich's career the bottom of the strike zone is basically where he has no launch angle at all. 2018 2019 2023

    If the Brewers continue to slide I think a trade with the Dodgers is probably likely and no it won't be Burnes going to the Dodgers it will be Adames. Dodgers get: Adames Brewers get: Stone, Jorbit Vivas and Nastrini. This would then allow the Brewers to trade Burnes and get back a positional player rather than trying to get that pitching prospect in return for Burnes. Something like Holliday plus from the Orioles.
  17. nate82
    I think a more realistic trade is still with the Orioles. I am not sold on the Dodgers making a trade for Burnes and if the Dodgers are in it I think they prioritize Ohtani over Burnes and I think the player the Dodgers would prefer from the Brewers would be Adames. If you are including Adames and Burnes in a trade then expect to get less than what you would get if only one of the players were involved. You won't get full value for Burnes or Adames if you include them together. I think an Orioles trade starts with Holliday and then it starts to get a little muddy after that. Probably someone like Mayo and Povich to finish off the trade.

    Wilson Contreras will be playing majority of his games at DH and OF now for the Cardinals. That signing turned bad real quick already. https://sports.yahoo.com/cardinals-moving-willson-contreras-off-catcher-months-after-he-signed-875-million-contract-180421184.html

    I am hoping if Middleton won’t resign if we could at least do a sign and trade with the Mavericks. Otherwise the Bucks are going to be Giannis, Jrue and Lopez. That is just a 5-10 seed team.

    Went to a Tyler Childers concert last week it was awesome but I really liked Charlie Crockett who opened for him. Kind of reminds me of the old country music from the 1950-60's era. Almost like some rockabilly a bit with some of his songs.
  21. nate82
    I would take a flier on him. Looks to be a better Hiura at least.
  22. nate82
    Braun would K without even seeing a pitch with the new rules.

    There was no one reviewing the violations. The speed cameras were ticketing people for going 1 MPH over the speed limit. There was no review it was just picture and then you would get the ticket in the mail. It was just bad and they stopped enforcing them in 2016 or 2017. It was basically just a money grab by the city to get as much as they could without actually doing anything. They stopped after the lawsuits started piling up.

    You are in the Milwaukee or Colorado viewing area?

    A very cheap one at that a 1-year 3.75m contract.
