A slight improvement at 1B does next to nothing to make this team better. -
I'm aware of that which is why I make such an effort to recycle paper as much as I can.
-
I'm far from a green freak, enviro-nut but it really bothers me when people can't even do the simplest parts of recycling. The first thing I do everyday when I get to work is take all the pieces of paper out of the garbage can and put them in the recycling bin which is less than an inch away from the garbage. I'm talking large amounts of whole sheets of paper not just little scraps or postit note type things. My work had an event last weekend and on Monday I had to cleanup stuff from that which meant I broke down about 10 very large boxes most of them full of paper packing material. After I collected it all my boss helped me take it behind the building where I assumed we had a dumpster for recycling. Nope, he chucked it all in the trash and I died a little bit inside.

Cohen all but came out and said he’s hiring Stearns
jerichoholicninja replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Stearns in New York could be a hilarious disaster. He did a great job of building this organization to respectability but when he spent money it was generally a massive failure. Cohen will give him a credit card and tell him to fix it now, which is definitely not David's strength. -
99% of this is just having crappy hitters - nothing about approach or coaching. As soon as the front office makes having even a few semi-competent hitters a priority numbers will look better.

Pirates city connect uniforms
jerichoholicninja replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not sure when airport codes became nicknames for cities but unless it's something kind of cool like PDX it's just stupid. Put something else across the front of these jerseys and they aren't bad. -
Until the organizational philosophy of focusing on defensive versatility and filling in with cheap, flawed, one dimensional sluggers changes there really isn't much you can do.

Artificial Turf at AmFam Field 🤮
jerichoholicninja replied to edfunderburk's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Considering NFL players want to ban turf due to all the injuries it causes I can't believe this would even be an option. -
Until they can put an un-embarrassing offense together the manger won't matter.
-
The idea of "if we only we could or were willing to spend X-amount more dollars" just doesn't matter to me. Good players come at all price points. Arnold and Stearns have both pretty much focused on the all or nothing sluggers and the no bat, utility players and the results have continually been the same. When the sluggers are hot they can make up for the wet noddle bats. When they're not, every great 7IP/3R pitching performance goes to waste.
-
$5M buys you nothing. That'll get you maybe an above average reliever or a utility bench bat. The offense is trash and has been trash for years. The front office needs to totally overhaul how it evaluates hitters and probably totally overhaul the entire hitter group. The team is in the bottom third of the league in K%, runs per game, AVG, OBP, and SLUG. About the only thing they appear to do well statically is draw walks but when you suck in every other offensive part of the game that doesn't help all that much. The whole pitching and defense thing can only get you so far. At some point you have to actually put runs on your side of the scoreboard.

Leverage for what? Oakland isn't going to do anything to keep them.

Norris was horrible for us. It was a stinker trade even if we got him for free.
-
Sure enough he was. That's the first time I've seen that angle of it. Every other replay I've seen showed him sitting in the dugout so I assumed that's where it happened. That seems pretty easy to remedy by just screening off the area directly perpendicular to the hitter.
-
Adames was sitting down in the dugout. Not at the rail. Didn't a Brewers coach get nailed in the dugout last year or a couple years ago too? It's the people in the "safe area" that are getting hurt. Most likely because they let their guard down because they think they're safe. I can't remember once instance of a player sitting by the rail getting hit.
-
What I don't understand in all of this is doesn't Bally's or whoever employ all the people and own all the resources and equipment to broadcast the games? Does MLB just take possession of these things so the games stay on? And if so does MLB actually have people who know how to do this stuff? Considering this stuff came down like two weeks before the regular season started and is still going on mid-season it seems amazing to me that there has been no interruptions to the broadcasts.
-
There are seats built in the dugouts right next to the railing. They are literally designed for people to sit that close. Whether that's a good idea or not is another thing. Some of you are acting like the bench at the bottom is the only place to sit and players are just hanging out in areas that they shouldn't be. I would think sitting way down in the dugout is actually more dangerous because you don't have a good view of the field and if a line drive was to come in there you probably wouldn't see it and then have no idea where it would ricochet off the wall. In fact, it may have happened, but I can't remember anyone ever get hit at the railing. It's always someone down in the dugout.
-
Get better hitters. End of discussion.
-
A helmet wouldn't have saved Coolbaugh and a helmet wouldn't protect 99% of the pitchers who get hit on the mound because they almost always get hit in the face. Players getting hit in the dugout happens so infrequently that I see no reason to do anything about it. If something has to be done though just put nets in front of them. That would probably also stop some of the dumb bench clearing incidents too.
-
This and nothing else. I would support a couple hundred million in tax payer money going to pay for it as well.

I give you credit for your commitment to the Suter running gag. Shows perseverance.

I must be wrong but I thought the Brewers bought some of the property around the parking lots about a decade ago and were going to develop it.
-
It's almost like spending money doesn't guarantee anything. Whoda thunk it?
-
Basically the hitters are bad. That's what I'm gathering from these stats. I'd be curious to know how all those stats you presented compare to the players career numbers in those categories. If this season's stats are out of line compared to what they've previously done then maybe you can chalk 2023 so far up to the random variance of baseball stats and things may (hopefully) even out over the rest of the season. However, if the numbers are right in line with what they've previously done then we are in trouble and I would seriously start to question this front office's ability to evaluate offense. Something that myself and others have be doing for a few years already.

Brewers trade Erceg to Oakland
jerichoholicninja replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't think Beane is even involved in personnel decisions anymore but for most of his years running things when he would trade guys who were getting expensive he would at least get talent back to keep the team competitive. Whether intentional or not, their trades the last half decade or so have done nothing to make the team better.
