of garrett whitley minor league deal; non-roster invitee
CheezWizHed replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Low contact hitter with decent walk rate. Former #13 overall pick in 2015. -
If this is the case, I'm a bit confused as to why you keep coming back here. If you prefer to pay more to have the simple solution and don't have any issues with Cable/Sat hardware and/or service, then do so. This thread is for those that would prefer not to do that and share ideas with others. Personally, I love being able to turn services ON/OFF for a month. - Brewers make the playoffs? Fire up Sling to watch. - Christmas holiday movies? Add a service to get that movie you want. - Summer rolls around? Shut down stuff, save money and go outside. I have a Roku TV, Samsung TV, and a Tivo. I've invested a few hundred dollars in my setup and saved thousands.

If Bradley can be traded … why not Yelich too?
CheezWizHed replied to edfunderburk's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Sorry for the left turn here, but I was going to comment on something here, but went to fact-check myself (news-flash I was wrong), but reminded myself a couple things: 1) Molitor left the Brewers at age 35 (I don't remember him being that old) 2) He led the league in hits twice post age 35, including his age 39 year hitting 341/390/468/858 3) His last year in the league at age 41, he hit 281/335/382/718, which is nearly as good as we had at 1B and 3B last year (just less power). - Dude could just hit... (yes, he was my favorite player) But back to Yelich, Braun could be looked at for a recent example too. After 2011 and 2012 (OPS=994 and 987), he strung together a bunch of up and down years with a general downward trend: 869 (29 years old), 777, 854, 903, 823, 782, 849, and 769 (at 36). Obviously, he was fighting thumb and back issues at the time, but the spark of being able to hit (when healthy) was obvious that whole time. I imagine that Yelich's back bothered him more than he was letting on this last two years. -
I've held myself a baseball traditionalist and applauded the Brewers going to the National League...but even I've given up and want the DH. I'm surprised it didn't happen last year, but I'm sure they wanted it as a bargaining chip for the CBA discussions.

FYI, there is no harm in starting a thread if you want one.

Garcia's signing with the Brewers brought a lot of complaints, but he ultimately lived up to that contract. Last year, he was our best (or one of the best) hitters we had and was missed when he was out of the lineup. He did get a lot of "love" in the in game threads. Now, he was no Robin Yount, but a lot of people thought fondly of what he did for us...though not enough to sign him to that contract. In that light, I think SRB meant that when someone produces well for you, it can cloud the judgement in comparing that person to someone you don't know well and simply look at their mediocre stats.

Shoot even a standard oven be getting cramped at that size. That is why we bought a double oven We often are baking two things at once or at least using the smaller one as a "warmer" for what I'm grilling. The air fryer feature is very nice and we can get crispy fries for the whole family.

Now it is complete... -
I had an argument about the number of lakes the other day... depends on the minimum size of a "lake". I'll concede that they have more acreage of lakes and we have more Lombardi trophies.

I had good success using the conventional oven to reheat pizza. I think I did 400 degrees for like 6 - 8 minutes. That was back when I was single and getting two Domino's mediums for $12 (or whatever the deal was). I can confirm, I just reheated 4 day old Papa John's, 2 slices of pizza and 2 breadsticks in the oven. Around 7 minutes at 375 degrees on a baking sheet with aluminum foil so it doesn't make a mess. Tasted just like the day it was ordered. Yes, I've done that too. But we have a conventional oven that has an air fryer mode (basically it is just a convection oven). The small air fryers are worthless for a family of 8.

I've yet to find a "good" pizza place in the Twin Cities... I had one deep dish (Chicago style) place highly recommended by 3-4 people so my wife and I did it for a date night. It was passable Pizza Hut level, but not something to out of your way for.

Living in the MSP area, I fully enjoyed the nightly news-sportscast meltdown Sunday night after the Vikings lost. Fox 9's sport announcer is so comically reactive to everything the Vikings do. They win a preseason game against a bad team and he is telling people to buy SB tickets... The despair and angst this past week was rather delicious. And yet... people still look at me incredulously for being a Packer fan.

Home field against TB, AZ, or LA isn't a guarantee, but it would certainly help. Especially getting those TB MLBs on slick grass.

Like Mertz with the trophy? rimshot. When you have to explain the joke...

I'll be trying my first pothole pizza this week. My family enjoy Lotzza Motzza pizza and yes, I like the toppings more than I like crust. Too many pizzas have tried to hold the $5 price point and have become pizza flavored cardboard - even after saving costs by removing the cardboard! Either that or they removed the crust... My family used to eat Jack's Rising Crust pizza, but we can't seem to find it around us anymore. That would represent my ideal cheap, frozen pizza. The regular jacks gets back to the cardboard. I also think the Aldi Take-and-Bake brand (Mrs. something or other) is very good, but HORRIBLE for leftovers. My daughter was talking about using our new air-fryer oven to reheat pizza, that might help greatly with soggy crusts and cheese.

The Duke Mayonnaise Bowl victory will long be remembered and held in the hearts of...sorry, I couldn't think of a good ending to that joke, so I'll just drop it.

DDV's return puts us at an interesting question... Does he become a trade piece for a big-man? Allen is playing well and Matthews provides some depth. I don't necessarily want to get rid of DDV, but it does put us at a position of strength so we can shore up a weakness.

As a hiring manager, I've had discussions with people about the entertainment opportunities (e.g. fine arts, concerts, sports) to convince them to move into a city, but never once have I mentioned that there was a Target or Starbucks nearby. Both Target and Starbucks represent more commodity purchases - I'll need to buy clothes, food, and gifts in my local area no matter if there is a Target there or not. Sport events are more a luxury item. If there isn't a sporting event that I'm interested in watching, you don't spend the money there anymore. I had the Timberwolves call me to convince me to buy season tickets because I purchased tickets to the Bucks game (1 game per season). I told him point blank I could care less about the Timberwolves and I only wanted to see the Bucks. Sure, I spend those entertainment dollars elsewhere, but it isn't downtown Minneapolis.

A couple points to consider per the above: 1) When the Braves left Milwaukee, many baseball fans turned to the Cubs (a dark day in WI history no doubt). So either they were watching the Cubs in the bars, or going to Wrigley to watch a game live. 2) When COVID hit and the games had not attendance, it was pretty obvious the impact to the downtown area around the Buck's stadium or Lambeau... I don't recall how it impacted around Miller/AMFAM. 3) I would think the impact is greater to an area like the Bucks/Packers where the stadium is more integrated into the city. Miller/AMFAM feels like it is stuck out in a more "remote" area without a ton around it. Yes, people do frequent bars and ride busses, but that seems like a lower percentage than those that just drive in and park.

Jungle Cruise gets 5 stars for the dad jokes alone! Yes, it wasn't deep and the premise was similar to those movies, but the overall plot felt new. I didn't feel like they rehashed the plot from anyone else (looking at you Star Wars episode 7-9). Predictable plot twists where there, but it is Disney... It is a fun family movie that cause a lot of laughs with my family.

I have a Roku TV (TCL) and Tivo setup in my living room and love it except... Roku's remote stinks. Yes, it is simple, but a bit too simple. There are fixed shortcuts to launch Sling, Netflix and a couple other apps I don't or rarely use. And they only have a skip forward button, no skip backwards.

I'm just curious, what would be the upside in just keeping him? I'll answer as it was addressed to me, but several others said about the same thing. The chances of him having another historically bad season are low with a much better chance of him regressing towards his average season. His defense brings a big positive. Not sure if he would be a 2.0WAR player again, but pretty doubtful he will be as bad as 2021 in 2022. However, I wasn't saying it was a bad trade... we gave up some players to improve our situation with Renfroe, just not drastically better.
-
I'm still in the camp that Taylor could provide what Garcia did (or Renfroe). But that has little to do with JBJ directly. He was horrid this year, so everyone wanted to dump him. But I'd put money down that his performance will go towards his career averages and will provide positive benefit this year to Boston.
-
Well, certainly there was upside in just keeping JBJ. I would expect that his numbers would return towards his averages next year... but I can also understand de-risking it and going with Renfroe. Here's hoping Hunter can keep his OBP north of 310...

That is very intriguing... small sample disclaimers apply, but that is a very fascinating BA/OBP combo working out to a .440 SLG if the .818 is OPS. That is actually his SLG. His OPS is 1.197 at AmFam. Highest of any park he’s played at. So, he is a platoon player? Only play him at home?
