    Yikes that 2-1 splitter stayed very up

    Anyone else unable to get the MLB gameday videos to play on Chrome? I am being forced to use IE and it makes my brain hurt

    Who needs the DH

    I can't see it but I'm not sure if this is even possible conceptually

    Sounds like they brought Yount and Fingers, the only 2 non active Brewer MVP winners, to throw out the first pitches to the the only 2 active Brewer MVP winners, Brain and Yelich, to start the season after Yelich just won the MVP. Seems cool to me, and not related to the '82 team specifically. Next year just Yount can throw the first pitch out to Yelich as the only multi-MVP winners for the crew

    Every hit will be a HR this year I think

    Franchise record for K by opening day starter is only 8

    Obviously I am not getting any work done right now. Looking through our opening days, in 1979 Mike Caldwell threw a CG with 0 strikeouts and 0 walks. Talk about pace of play, total game time was 2:02. The only other live ball ball era team with no K or BB on opening day was the 1935 Yankees. Our only 2 HR opening day performance was Sixto Lezcano in 1980 Most hits = 4: Carlos Gomez 2010, Chuckie Carr '96 (including his only career Brewer HR), Jose Valentine '96, Dave Nilsson '94) Most RBI = 6: Lezcano 1980 Most runs = 4: Jose Valentine 1996, Charlie Moore 1982

    Going back to Yo's final opening day start in 2014, we now have our 6th straight opening day with a different starter. Franchise record is 7 seasons, but don't read this list if you are eating lunch: 1996 Ricky Bones 1997 Ben McDonald 1998 Cal Eldred 1999 Rafael Roque 2000 Steve Woodard 2001 Jamey Wright 2002 Ben Sheets

    Our 7 hitter had an .815 OPS last year.

    Yes another opening day is here. Christmas morning for adults

    Trout has the most WAR in MLB history through his age 26 season, just ahead of Ty Cobb. If he continues his current pace of 9.2 WAR/season for the entire 12 year span of this contract he will finish #2 all-time in WAR with 174, still a full MVP caliber season behind Babe Ruth's 182 total.

    I think this is a little misleading, without digging into it very much, it was a different group of hitters who have gradually cared less and less about striking out. The average K/9 in 2017 for the NL was 8.4. In 2011 it was 7.3. In 2004 it was 6.4. I would say Sheets posting a 10 K/9 in 2004 is much better than Nelson posting 10.2 in 2017

    My second favorite player all-time behind Shea Vucinich

    I would say Kratz has a small chance to make the team, not sure if CC can reduce the veteran grit level of the team by like 80% if we cut him. We started last year with like 600 first baseman on opening day, maybe we go with 3 catchers at least for a few weeks. I'd give this scenario a 3% chance of happening

    The tie breaker win in Wrigley was amazing, will go down as one of the greatest games in franchise history. I work with many Cubs fans so even better. Now I ask them if the W flag stand for Wildcard Participant.
  18. topper09er
    Exactly, I was half expecting them to list Trout #2 with Betts #1 and say Betts won the MVP blah blah and really get people all worked up
  19. topper09er
    In that case I'll take Hank Aaron in RF

    No disagreements by the end of RRR's tenure. But in 2011 I thought he did a great job. The fact that he gave Shawn Marcum 3 playoff starts was horrendous and season ending for us. That would have been like giving Chase Anderson 3 playoff starts this season. Instead we left him off the playoff roster completely, which was the obvious move for Marcum in 2011.

    Herenan Perez 2017 wRC+ 79 Herenan Perez 2018 wRC+ 79 Perez 2017 RBI: 51 Perez 2018 RBI: 29 Check and mate. Good thing we have Tom telling us what to think

    [sarcasm]Something, something greedy owners...[/sarcasm] Well when the player's strike inevitably happens, I know who's side I'll be on, and it certainly won't be the billionaires sitting in their owner's box collecting record revenues. So you side with Albert Pujols being paid $26,000,000 in 2017 to put up -1.8 WAR

    In another generation all of our children will look back in disgust that we actually used the term injured list. They will need to explain to our grandchildren how ablest we were but it was a different time and we didn't know any better. I can't believe grandpa used to call the Frito-Lay Differently-Abled Roster brought to you by Visa the injured list.

    Yes. Yankees Red Sox Cubs Cardinals Rockies

    Is this a joke? the Pirates winning 79 games?!?
