  1. I wonder how much the shortened spring training is effecting people?
  2. "Come together" was already in my head before I got to your last line... ?
  3. I have to say that I LOVE the MLB.TV feature that allows you to select the radio audio that is timed up perfectly with the video. I'm going to love listening to Uecker again! (Ok, not Uecker today, but opening day was nice).
  4. and all the more frustrating that it is against the sCrubs
  5. I'm sure there are plenty of 6 AB stretches that Avi had that would make you happy he is gone. No idea what to thing of these two games playing in the cold...but it doesn't seem to bother the Cubs that much.
  6. Brett Sullivan was only with the Brewers since December though. We never drafted him.

  10. If all it takes to get around the drug policy is to get a doctor's prescription, everyone will have a prescription... somehow you need a common playing field.
  11. It wouldn't surprise me if the thing he took was a mix of many things. With clomiphene as one of them.
  12. Please stop with the Google doctor advice and keep it to baseball. I doubt we have any fertility experts here and we already have one example of a male contributor that took it. Believe him or don't. But stop telling us what the drug will or won't do via Google search.
  13. The last four MLB seasons have brought unprecedented post-season success for the Milwaukee Brewers. Four straight years of October baseball has helped soothe the soul of any fan that survived the 90s…and the early 70s… oh, and not to forget 2002. Hey, let’s be real. Brewer fans have been long-suffering with a single World Series appearance and zero rings. Now, I’ve been a fan through thick and thin. But some of those teams have been easier to cheer for than others. Team streak (1987) was the first year that I considered myself a real “fan” and was filled with many memorable streaks. Mike Cameron and the Untuckem’ Crew having fun and annoying the Cardinals all at the same time – double bonus! This year’s Crew looks to continue last year’s winning ways, while also simply being fun to watch. Let’s take a look at a few individuals that bring more to the field than just a bat and glove. I’ll start with the million-dollar smile of Lorenzo Cain. Lorenzo was a favorite of mine back in the minors (remember the draft-and-follow process?). Unfortunately, just as he hit the bigs, he was traded to Kansas City in the Zach Greinke trade. LoCain is no longer the player he was offensively but he still brings high energy, excellent defense, and the potential to bring many HR balls back into the ballpark. Entering the last year of his contract, this might be the last year with the Brewers (and potentially in the MLB), but is still a joy to see him bounce around the outfield and celebrate with his fellow outfielders. Christian Yelich’s injuries and offensive struggles have gotten a lot of pre-season, mid-season, and post-season ink as people theorize on what he has to do to return to his MVP ways. But during feast or famine, Yelich has been as even-keeled as anyone could. Yelich remains the same approachable, humble guy whether he is rubbing elbows with all-stars or high-fiving a young Pittsburgh fan for making an excellent catch. His demeanor during his MVP years was the same as it was early in his career and the same during his last two years of struggles. Brent Suter…. Even writing his name, I have to laugh. Jim Carey impersonations, mock commercials, speed pitching, and a guy that just loves the game and being a Brewer. If Brent drives by in the bullpen car and offers a ride, I recommend taking it. But I think the thing that pulls the team together more than any other was an unexpected, early-season 2021 trade that brought Willy Adames to the team. Early last year, the team was muddling about out on the field and lacking an identity off of it. Willy’s impact came both on the field and in the clubhouse. A shortstop hitting 285/366/521 is clearly a huge addition to the team. But it is his energy with his teammates that elevates that impact so much. Everyone knew that their biggest fan was cheering them on from their own dugout (or SS when on defense). Willy was the first person to greet you after a home run and you better have the ups to reach that high-five! With Willy joining the team last year, it was almost as if our very own Benny Rodriquez was leading the team out on the sandlot. Baseball was fun, the summer was worry-free, and you almost expected the Beast to try to grab a home run ball away from Lorenzo Cain at the fence. Maybe this year will be the one that sees that elusive World Series pennant flying high and proud at American Family Field. But win or lose, this is a team you can cheer for! Comment and let us know… Which was your favorite Brewers team or player of all time to watch?
  14. It is easy to cheer for your time when they win, but what does it take to transform that team into a team you like? A team that transcends winning and losing, but just makes the game of baseball a joy to watch? Image courtesy of Introductory blurb to display on front page.

  15. I'm not certain I'm a believer of Watson in the 1st round, but second round yes... And.. I think I'm becoming a Woods believer. His floor seems to be easily Mercedes as a blocking TE... But with that athleticism, it would seem that the upside is pretty huge.
  16. Any draft that gets Metcalf for less than a 1st round pick (28th overall + upgrade from a 4th to 3rd) seems like a win. That is a riot. drafting 94 players! Ted Thompson approves!
  17. I have somehow missed this! Good to know. I will certainly be listening to Bob every chance I get. He isn't what he was, but still excellent. He was a treasure in my childhood...we were as far away in the state as you can get, so we never got them on TV. But I listened to hundreds of games on the radio. Thank you George Owens!

  21. It all starts with his base though. On the left (especially in the video), he is so off balance; so many moving parts. He is practically standing like flamingo on one leg. If he starts a bit too early or tips just a bit off balance he literally has no chance to compensate. On the right, his center of balance is much lower and he has much more control. Maybe he still needs work on his hands, but this has to be so much easier to work off of.
  22. Olave gives me a Greg Jennings vibe; the size/speed/route running part, not the yearly rants about AROD part. 6 foot tall is plenty...however, Gute/MLF certainly has a "type" on tall WRs. But I'm hoping if he is there, we grab him.
