Middleton with an MCL sprain and will have an MRI on Thursday. I am going to assume he will be out for the next game. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/bucks-injury-updates-khris-middleton-suffers-mcl-sprain-in-game-2-loss-bobby-portis-leaves-with-eye-abrasion/amp/

No box out on the 2 offensive rebounds. Come on Connaughton and Lopez block out.

How do you get a foul call when nothing but the ball was touched?

Right still early but I expect Mitchell to turn it on at some point also. That lineup is really good with the only easy out being Devanney. Frelick at some point will also be in Biloxi maybe they move Mitchell or Wiemer to AAA and then promote Frelick. It is a very interesting team where the 2nd half could be a completely different team depending on trades or promotions.

If Hayes was closer to the bag he would of been out.

Seems like the Brewers are being more aggressive on the first pitch.

Early on it looks like Biloxi is going to be a monster of a team offensively. Will be interesting to see who gets promoted to AAA by mid season or later.

Almost a double double for Giannis in the 1st.

The Celtics Nets series is going to be intense no way that series doesn’t go 7.

Yankees unless you are paying about 30% of Yelich’s salary.

OMG this umpire is garbage.

I don't think Taylor should be starting games he looks lost at the plate since spring training ended.

How is this 2nd pitch a strike but the first one is a ball? Then how is pitch 3 a ball? These are easy strike and ball calls how does an umpire fail this badly at calling ball and strikes?

Early in the minor league season but Devanney doesn't look like he belongs on a AA roster at least at the plate he doesn't look like he belongs. Probably will be where he tops out.

So last inning two pitches that were called strikes this inning were balls. Come on ump be a little bit consistent on calling balls and strikes. I can't wait for the robo umps.

For out of market people the game will be on MLB Network.

There were reports repeated reports that Hader was not comfortable pitching in back to back to back games so he was unavailable to do so. If a player says they are uncomfortable and won't be ready for that day then you can't just do it because rickh150 says so because some guy in the stands is wearing the wrong baseball hat.

Someone needs to tell Freddy to stop throwing that change up it isn’t fooling anyone.

Well this should be Peralta’s last inning if he gets out of it or not.

It is just his usual 1st inning overly amped up Freddy. Nearly every start is like this for him. The 1st inning he flies through easily and then all of a sudden he gets to amped up and it kills him.

Hispanics and white males are the majority of the fan base for MLB. African Americans have been in decline since the 90's or late 80's in terms of fandom for MLB. The weirdest part is that MLB had some of the greatest African American athletes in the 90's not named Michael Jordan or Bo Jackson with Griffey, Henderson and Thomas. After Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan the biggest poster sales were Griffey and Thomas. Back in the 90's jersey sales were not all that available I don't even think MLB marketed or even sold jersey's in the 90's. The popularity in culture especially in African American culture during the 90's and into the 2000's were jersey's along with shoes. MLB tried to cut into the action with the shoes but by that time Jordan was just dominating everything. MLB missed out on the jersey sales in the 90's that made the NBA popular. Also baseball in the 90's by the youth was thought of as a non athletic game. Though during that time you had some of the most athletic players in Bonds, Griffey and Henderson that the sport had seen in a long time. MLB did a poor job in the 90's of promoting their players and by the time the sport turned the corner and started promoting Griffey it was far to late. Jordan and basketball took over MLB in the 90's and then with the FOX deal for the NFL went through that started to put the nail in the coffin for MLB in terms of ruling in popularity. MLB has gotten better at promoting their star players but is still far behind the NBA and NFL and is just ahead of the NHL which also has a problem promoting its stars. The next biggest problem is the don't stare at home runs crowd and don't celebrate at all unless it is for the team I cheer for otherwise it is against the game of baseball. These unwritten rules need to be abandoned if the league wants to grow with the youth. Younger people love Ohtani, Harper, Trout, Tatis and Vlad because they bring an excitement to the game. They will flip their bat when they hit a home run and celebrate. The Cardinals way of baseball needs to die and die fast if MLB wants to expand and keep on being a relevant sport.

That Biloxi team offensively is just a nightmare for a pitcher to navigate through. It could get even worse with a Frelick promotion at some point to AA. I am assuming one of Mitchell or Weimer would be moved up to AAA first before that happens. Kind of dreaming here but if Mitchell and Weimer are promoted to AAA this year that would put them both on track to be with the Brewers in 2023 at some point. If everything goes right you could possibly see both Weimer and Mitchell in the starting OF in 2023. Valerio could also be the starting 2B at some point also. If Weimer, Frelick, Valerio, Mitchell and others all start performing I could see the Brewers farm ranking go into the 10-15 range by the deadline. I wouldn't be surprised to see Valerio's name mentioned a lot in trade scenarios along with Turang's.

I wonder if their GM went out and did everything they could to improve the team obviously they didn't because of how the team is performing!!!!!!! They should have signed Castellanos, Bryant, and returned Freeman and also got Olson!!!!!!! Also bottom of the barrel scraping Manny Pina is the worst signing evah!

I would shorten the game to 7 innings. Extra inning rules start in the 10th inning. After the 12th inning if still tied any player that is no longer in the game can come back and pinch hit. Unless they were removed due to an injury. Shorten the season to 100 games. Games are played in series with teams having Mon-Wed off, Mon-Tue are for makeup games. Each team plays Thur-Sun. The season starts in April and ends in September. If a home team is not able to reschedule during a mon or tue they forfeit the game. Standings is determined by points. Extra inning games award each team 1 point with wins giving the winning team 3 points. The winning team in an extra inning game gets 1 point for the extra innings plus 1 point for winning. Points determine the seeding each team gets in the playoffs. Move the Rays from Tampa to Miami and the Marlins from Miami to Charlotte. Move the A’s to Vegas. Add Nashville and Portland as new MLB franchises.
