Don't see how that could possibly be a strike seeing as how the pitch was a one hopper. Must have really been short of the plate because it was on the corner at the knees according to gameday. -
Back to the Kratz HBP. I was watching on Gameday and according to that it was strike. Did it look like a strike on TV and did any Cubs argue about it?
-
Says a lot about how crappy the Orioles situation is. Even if this was a lost season for us, there was no way Ortiz was coming to Milwaukee this year.

Cole Hamels denies rivalry
jerichoholicninja replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Double ticket prices for all Cubs games and slash prices by 50% for all tickets to the same number of games scattered throughout the year. Suck the FIB's dry and increase attendance for other games. Win/Win. -
Isn't it still the Brewers rookie league team?
-
Mack will be released in 2 or 3 years when the Bears realize they have no cap room. Same as happens to every non-QB that signs a megadeal. The Bears mortgaged their future and cap space on a guy who will move them from 4th to 3rd in their division. The only way that trade isn't a franchise-killing disaster is if Trubles pulls a Goff and goes from joke one year to top 10 QB the next.

40-man roster discussion (part 2)
jerichoholicninja replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I've been sort of following the Sky Sox the last week or so to see if they would make the playoffs. The pitchers they've been putting out there are terrible and makes me wonder if Stearns and company manipulated their roster to make sure they missed the playoffs so the Brewers could have all their players available ASAP. Also saw Dillard finished their final game and got an AB. Wonder if he's finally decided to call it a career. -
Who Are Your Brewers System All-Stars

[sarcasm]I don't see Dillard which invalidates your whole list.[/sarcasm] -
Cole Hamels denies rivalry
jerichoholicninja replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
As someone said earlier, this is only a rivalry on the Brewers side. The Cubs rival is the Cardinals and probably always will be. -
It's a hard play to make when you're going to your right and have to throw cross-body to home. Would've had to stop, plant, and throw home and he knows full well that Broxton's at 3B with a lead. I think that if he goes home it's far from a sure thing, maybe 50/50 at best. He's out easy. Broxton froze on the linedrive. It's probably a double play home to first.
-
Not really. In that situation you're going home with a ground ball every time. Don't even have to think about it.

Stupid play by Bryant

3 in a row that almost hit him.

Was that a fair ball? What was his intent?

Schoop has a higher career OPS and OPS+ than Villar. And Villar's career numbers are all propped up by his excellent 2016 season. I won't say definitively that Schoop has been the better hitter but to say Villar has been better is not correct at all. Cause Schoop’s career OPS+ isn’t propped up by his one good season (2017) either. OPS+ Villar, Schoop 2013: 79, 124 (15 PA's) 2014: 75, 65 2015: 109, 111 2016: 117, 98 2017: 72, 122 2018: 91, 90 Career: 93, 99 There's the numbers for all to see. They both have had up and down careers, which is why I said neither is definitively better than the other, and saying Villar has been the better hitter in his career is not true.

I completely agree with this which is why I typically never express an opinion on this topic while sitting on my couch. The one thing I will say is the Brewers-Cubs games I have gone to over the past couple of years haven’t exactly been a great fan experience. At one of the games last year, with the exception of one other couple nearby, my wife and I were the only Brewers fans within three rows in either direction. Sitting at Miller Park in the middle of arrogant Cubs fans isn’t exactly a great ballpark experience. We’ve been to a handful of Brewers-Cubs games at Wrigley, and for whatever reason those experiences have actually been better. Totally agree on this. It is not a positive family experience at all to go to a game against the Cubs at Miller Park. People don’t want to spend the money and take their family to a game where the opposing fans act the way they do. It’s hard to criticize other Brewers fans for not going to Cubs games because they aren’t attending the game for the same reasons as the rest of us. The experience is less than stellar when they come into town. Yup, refuse to go to games against the Cubs at Miller Park. Done it twice, both Brewer wins. The only times I've felt unsafe at a baseball game were those two games and then the knife fight I walked past in the Dodger Stadium parking lot.
-
What if the ball lands fair and is picked up in fair territory? Do the umpires convene and determine his "intent"? As has been stated 1000 times, a fair ball is a fair ball. By ruling he was not offering a bunt attempt it was a check swing. A foul ball on a check swing with 2 strikes is just a foul ball.

That would be great if Villar wasn’t outplaying Schoop by a big margin. Neither has really been good. Villar's OPS is .723 with Balitmore and Schoop is at .653 with Milwaukee. If you want to look at their last 20 games though, Schoop is blowing away Villar is the OPS department .865 to .677.

MLB needs some way for umpires to communicate what's going on with everyone. NFL referees usually go a good job of explaining what happened (whether they are correct or not) when weird stuff occurs. If the umpires could have let us all know why they made the call they did at the time, there would have been less of an uproar.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
jerichoholicninja replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It takes about 5 seconds for a pitcher to look at the scouting report. All while the batter is standing outside of the box adjusting his velcro. This will do nothing to slow down the game and will only make it go faster since we don't need to have a mound visit every time there's a pinch hitter. And the announcers said he's had it in his pocket all year. So of course Joe West decides in September with the pitcher's team losing by 6 is the time to make an issue out of it. -
I've found the analyzing and criticism of every single decision Counsell has made over the last couple months to be annoying and unnecessary. But his bullpen mis-management the last few weeks and last night especially coupled with for some reason not starting Cain today over Broxton and Granderson and starting Thames anywhere right now is just ridiculous. It's almost like the more the season collapses and games become more critical, CC takes it as a challenge to make decisions that show he cares more about tomorrow's game than winning the one right in front of him.
-
Yes but can he secure the $15m and still get the $40m deal after next year? If he plays like this next year, I think so. He’s playing like he did last year and he had to settle for a 6 million dollar deal in March. I’m not sure why people think his marker or value would be much higher this year He was holding out for a megadeal last offseason that nobody got. I think he would "settle" for a multiyear deal in the $12M-$15M a year range this year.
-
I think the question is irrelevant as Moose is going to decline his end. $15M is a lot to turn down but (provided he learned anything from last offseason) he should be able to get something like $40M-50M over 4 years from somebody.
-
Couldn't this be easily circumvented by designating 4 out of your 5 starting pitchers as 'inactive'? Ya, no team uses 40 guys. The team with the biggest roster is going to be what 33 or 34 guys.
