Narvaez is currently 11th among all NL players in WAR, but I'm not surprised Bowden doesn't know that or at least consider it worthy of a mention if he does. Would have to imagine at least one of these four NL backstops will be watching from home & it will prolly be Omar on account of name recognition/other factors, but he's certainly been deserving to this point... Buster | 172 PAs | 175 wRC+ | 2.4 WAR Omar | 157 PAs | 151 wRC+ | 2.1 WAR Smith | 194 PAs | 132 wRC+ | 2.1 WAR Realmuto | 171 PAs | 146 wRC+ | 2.0 WAR Evert team gets an All Star and Carson Kelly from the Diamondbacks had a pretty good chance to be their candidate.

Right now the Brewers big 3 are in the top 10 pitchers in MLB in WAR. And top 7 in the NL. If ever there were a case for 3 SP's being named to the All Star game this has to be it. It's still early June so that can change but if they keep it up it would feel like a petty slight in my opinion (if all 3 didn't make it). I'll admit I was excited to read this, and then I clicked on the link. Kevin Gausman is number two on the list, so now I must pump the brakes a little bit and just try to enjoy the ride.

The sports card explosion during the pandemic helped me sell almost everything non-Brewers related that I have. I was listing group lots like crazy on facebook marketplace. I've only picked up a few Brewers items in the last couple of years. My favorite being a Braun Memorial Day game used jersey. I'm much more picky than I used to be, because having two girls I don't see my collection being wanted by them. I still collect bobbleheads, but I sold off my grails right before the pandemic hit. I still collect every Brewers player/coach/manager on a single signed ball. I'm not sure if I want to stop at 50 years right now. There are way too many cup of coffee call ups in the way baseball is currently played. My real passion/obsession is collecting photos of family members. I've been researching my family genealogy for the past 10 years, and it is so much more rewarding to me than collecting Brewers items. I've set up family facebook groups where I put some of my research in. It really is enjoyable seeing my mother communicate with distant cousins that she hasn't spoken to for 60 plus years. A lot has changed since the Brewers started winning in 2008. I don't have season tickets, because the Brewers changed my ticket plan. The accessibility of the players from 2008 to now is a total opposite whether its Miller Park and now Maryvale. There were many more opportunities for player access when the Brewers were losing, and when the Brewers win more items that people didn't think would sell are available for sale.

My daughter had a AAU game tonight in Germantown. Its a huge event using both Germantown and Homestead schools for my daughters bracket plus a couple more schools for other brackets. It's a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday event and she will play 4 games. I just about fell over as they were charging $55 for a weekend pass for spectators. There are also many teams from Illinois in this event and with my daughters game ended at 9:30 I'm sure many of the Illinois parents are also getting 2 nights of hotels.

I have 2 girls, now 6th grade and 8th grade. I don't make them play and they know it. The caveat is that they aren't going to be laying on their beds watching Tic Tok videos either. They have to do something whether its athletics, band, video club, acting, whatever. They have both played soccer up until 4th grade, and have played basketball from 3rd grade until their current ages. They both also golf. First off, golf is nice, because being an individual sport we can schedule it around all of their other activities. I wanted them to play soccer as a young child just because I wanted for them to get out and run. Within a handful of years neither of my children didn't liked playing it and quit. Now, basketball...Both my girls play games about 10 months out of the year, but they also do basketball activities the other 2 months. They play for their club team, AAU team, school team, and church teams. They love it, I don't say no, but I also don't force them to do it. My youngest is not great, but slightly above average. My oldest is usually one of the bottom on each team she plays on. I believe my oldest loves doing the drills, but not the game itself. She can shoot from anywhere and dominate the drills, but in a game she is invisible. When trying out she looks great, but its probably buyers remorse for the coach when the games start. My girls also do cross country and track when it applies for school teams. Get to know the schools schedule. Such as, starting in 6th grade girls can only do cross country. Track, volleyball, and basketball starts in 7th grade there.

I was trying to cheer for Michigan, but it is really hard. I actually like Howard (at least my favorite of the fab-5). Still didn't hurt to hear that they lost. Granted... I don't care to see West Coast teams look so much better than the Big10 either... I’m just a tad too young to remember the Fab 5, so I’ve never really understood the hype surrounding a team that LOST back-to-back national championship games. I guess they wore black socks and baggy shorts, so they at least looked really cool while losing ... ? All freshman joining together to play. It was unheard of. Not too long before that freshman weren’t even allowed to play varsity sports. Many of the NCAA records were broken because of the ability to play 4 years. Give Pistol Pete another year...and the 3 point line...on my...

George Segal, Arthur, "Pops", the grandfather on The Goldbergs passed away from complications of heart surgery.

I think my first wallet came from the gift shop of the Milwaukee Zoo.

Seems to me that you're differentiating best move from shrewdest move. If we are talking which move had the most positive impact on our franchise, it's obviously Rodgers hands down (Woodson was a great move, no doubt). Was Rodgers a "lucky" move too? Sure, but there were still 23 other GMs who chose not to make that move, and Ted did. And I don't think it was the slam dunk obvious pick at the time now that we see it as in retrospect. I think there were a lot of people upset at the time that we didn't use that pick to build immediately around Favre for the last few years of his career and instead took a future pick. Favre just lost in the NFC Championship game and the Packers used their 1st rounder on Rodgers. I was pissed, and I can admit that. I thought at the time they should have used that move to help the team right away.

I'm surprised the Wisconsin Tavern League doesn't have this set up yet.

It looks like it will be just a matter of time before the whole street is called Brewers Boulevard. The signage going up on I94 will be Brewers Boulevard.

I just turned on the NFL 5 minutes ago. Watching the Pats Cardinals game. I hate that ******** defenseless player penalty on a player chasing to make a tackle getting blocked. How can a player trying to make a tackle be defenseless. I turned the NFL off for the day now.

Not me. I like seeing pitchers try to hit.

He will be welcomed back. Baseball is a business, and his teammates know that. If he felt that it was too dangerous for himself or his family the other guys will understand. Us fans make way, way, way more of rivalries than the players do. The players have no problem signing with a rival team if the money is right. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

Honest question, who was the last ex-player to get a GM or similar job? I can't remember. I thought it was the Ivy League egg-heads that were ruining the game anyway. Jerry DiPoto Mariners 2015

It's behind a paywall. Do you have a synopsis of the article?

You know how the Brewers develop pitchers. Why would you wish that on this kid?

I'm the type of person that will purposely not use a store or manufacturer out of spite if I get relentless advertising from them.

I have the same dilemma. I'm leaning toward Washington too. Daniel Jones should be good for two turnovers. I have the same issue. I took Jacksonville, because I feel they can get shutout.

I would love to hear this weeks game mic’ed up.

Does anyone know where I can sell old liquor bottles that are still sealed. I have one of these https://maxliquor.com/jack-daniels-bicentennial.htm?msclkid=d76d5985d47b15e56713060bec0aa300 and mine has the box I also have older bottles with us Wisconsin tax stamps still sealed.

I get it. I’m safer than most. In our school district if you have a cold you must stay home for 14 days. Kids can test negative, but the school won’t allow the student or their siblings to come back until after 14 days. Both my children are asthmatic and my youngest has extreme sensitive allergies. The littlest sniffle or cough and the school is ready to shut them down. We had flu shots a few weeks ago and my oldest gets head aches after as a side effect. They were really bad last year. This year we made sure she hydrated as much as possible, but she still got a head ache. We told her not to go to the office under any circumstances. Gave her Tylenol. As she’s allergic to Advil and had her secretly take another dose during the day.

They will take it more seriously if it costs them game checks.

He was actually better than Williams in their age-21 seasons, which is incredible. Now all he has to do is hit .406 with a .553 OBP and 235 OPS+ next season to keep up. I highly recommend Ted Williams' BBref page. Just amazing. But yeah, unbelievable season from Soto and the sky is the limit. That season for Ted Williams wasn't even good enough to win the MVP.
