I feel like Counsell actually pinch hits the backup catcher far more than any other Brewers manager I can remember. But yeah still not a go-to move. -
Looks like Keon in 2016 2B and 4 singles That would not have been my first guess
-
Vlad Guerrero?
-
Larry Walker? Adam Dunn? He might actually be close to 2 of 3...
-
Yes but someone got him earlier I’m still taking credit
-
Edgar Martinez?
-
Ok I’ll take a stab, first 5 names that come to mind... ARod Helton Palmeiro Schmidt Murray
-
Man I hate national telecasts. Know what I’d like to hear about during a Brewers-Padres game? The Red Sox

BREAKING NEWS! Michigan won. Like 2 hours ago.

Wow I’ll always love Ueck, but...yikes. MLB is usually great at giving both TV and radio calls on huge plays like that, and was wondering why they didn’t have Uecker’s call. Now I know. Anderson’s call was tremendous. He is a great announcer and we are very lucky that he has made the Brewers broadcasting booth his home.

How can posters report posts/posters? Sounds like a much more constructive response than the airing of grievances in the threads. Thanks mods

Villar with a chance with one swing to be more valuable in 2018 than all of 2017

According to that article he stole 2nd and then 1st, but did not successfully steal 2nd again. So he did not steal the same base twice, though he did in fact attempt it twice before Segura did, which I also would’ve assumed never happened before either EDIT: Oops quoted the wrong post. Whatever you know what I meant...
-
Was at that game, and rooting very hard for him to steal again, as I assume it would’ve been the first time in MLB history a player stole the same base twice in the same trip around the bases. And yes, he was indeed thrown out the 2nd time, sadly.

Block people that annoy you, then no sifting necessary. It's really a great feature and VERY under utilized. +1 Commenting on other people’s posting behavior is worse than than the supposed bad posts themselves and fans the flames. Stop it. If you don’t like a poster just block and move on.

Huge upside on offense, a better pitching staff than most give them credit for including a devastating 1-2 punch in Hader and Knebel in the ‘pen, Jimmy Nelson ready to come back strong come June, and the resources/owner/GM ready to add another starter midseason if it’s right. IMO easily the highest ceiling for a Brewers team on opening day since 2011.

Brewers to honor Fielder, Jenkins, Melvin and Dalton.
BuckyBrewer61 replied to PinaMadness's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Geoff Jenkins had an opportunity in that game to do something no one has ever done in MLB history - hit for the home run cycle. He had a 1-run, 2-run, and 3-run HR in the books when he came to bat in the 7th inning with the bases loaded. He struck out looking. Credit: Topper09er -
My only recollection of Ray King was watching from the stands against the Expos as he threw a wild pitch allowing a run to score...during an intentional walk. When the automatic intentional walk rule was announced, I immediately thought of Ray King.

Am I the only one that doesn't find Tim Dillard that funny? I don't dislike the guy at all, seems like a fun guy to be around and good for the clubhouse. But his media and social media stuff is just lost on me I guess. I guess I could see how the goofball humor could be an acquired taste, but I think he's hilarious. I love professional athletes that can laugh at themselves and don't take themselves too seriously. They play a game for a living. Pro sports needs more Dillards. I think he's got a future as a broadcaster. The guy is actually very intelligent and knows baseball quite well. I'm sure that there were plenty of Brewer fans that found Uecker's humor unfunny and sophomoreish back in the '70s too. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that he doesn't take himself seriously, am all for goofing around and still find him endearing. I guess a lot of it just doesn't hit home with me *shrug* That said, he did post a tweet a couple years back with the "Wan't to hear the most annoying sound in the world?" quote from Dumb and Dumber. I'm too lazy to find it and post myself...but that one was gold. EDIT: Ok I lied, apparently I'm not too lazy, and also very bored

This alone makes me want to say scrap the 1B experiment, make Braun the 4th outfielder getting around 100 starts while giving the other 3 days off in RF/LF for rest and the inevitable injuries, and let Broxton/Phillips battle it out for 5th. Then keep the Thames/Aguilar platoon. It's not like Braun's going to start 150 games if the starts are available anyway, and now we're apparently wearing down his already fragile body. Your set-up would force the team in to an 11 man pitching staff, in stead of the more likely 13 man staff they'd like to use a majority of the time. Not sure how that's the case, Aguilar was on the roster all year last year without that being so. That said, the more I think about it, there is an excess of one-trick players on our bench. Aguilar, Villar, Broxton/Phillips (not that super-utility OFs like Perez are super common). You can't help but feel like Stearns was confident he could move an OF before the season started and it just didn't materialize, because the position player roster doesn't make a whole lot of sense right now... You figure Braun, Perez, and a catcher are locks. If you're going to go 13-man pitching staff (which feels almost required these days), that means you can keep only one of Aguilar (likely not with Braun playing 1st), Villar/Sogard (whoever is backup), Broxton, and Phillips. Hmm.

Even if he wasn’t a troll, getting him off the board as soon as he started making demands and dividing the forum would’ve been for the better of the community, regardless of his rumors were true. Thanks mods for all your work, this remains the best sports message board I know.

Moustakas agrees to deal with Royals
BuckyBrewer61 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
And completely different situations. Pretty clear Moustakas had zero offers outside of KC. It's not like 3 teams were bidding and $6.5m was the highest offer. And it's not like no one was offering Cain and the Brewers just threw out 5 years $80m as the first stab at it. Cain got paid market value. Whether one thinks we should've been the one to give it to him, well that's certainly a matter of opinion. -
Completely useless 2018 Playoff Predictions
BuckyBrewer61 replied to brewerhuman's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If I had to put money on this outcome vs. the field (meaning at least one of those teams not winning their division), I would bet the field. It happens more often than not in MLB where the odds on favorites, even heavy ones, don't all come out on top. That said, if I had to bet on the most likely specific 3 NL teams to win their divisions, those would obviously be the 3.
