A player shall be considered a rookie unless he has exceeded any of the following thresholds in a previous season (or seasons): 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues. 45 total days on an active Major League roster during the Championship Season (excluding time on the Injured List) Looks like he had 46 days in 2021. -

Well, Villar couldn't play defense well at any position and outside of one season has been a league average hitter at best. Not sure how he could have been run out of town since he's wasn't very good to begin with. Not to mention he's been dumped by multiple teams since.

Funny things happen when you live and work in a small community. I was hired in April. The guy who hired me had offered me a different job at a different place about 7 years ago but I turned it down. I was hoping he wouldn't remember me and that I did that and take it into consideration when making their selection for this job. I don't know if he did or not but it never came up. Since then he's retired. Funny enough, his replacement had rejected me for a job during that job search 7 years ago. The job I'm currently hired for was supposed to be temporary and in my first meeting with my new boss he told he's going to try to get me hired permanently.

So basically he could be a good hitter if they change everything about his swing? My comment isn't about the Brewers specially but I see way too often this line of thinking in baseball and I doubt it turns out well very often.

I don't think there's any "punishment" involved here as they're only investigating whether or not he used corporate funds for hush money. If it's proved he didn't he may not get back his CEO job but I think it's certain he won't be giving up or be removed from any creative control.

I'm pretty sure he's only stepping down from the business side and will still control the wrestling product. So what you see on TV won't change at all.

I would say patience is a problem in MLB in general. When Moneyball led to everyone taking walks and working the count it made sense. The goal was to get a starters pitch count up so you could get to the bullpen which, at the time, was full of inferior pitchers compared to starters. Nowadays, relievers have better stuff than starters so forcing them into the game isn't really advantageous. There's also the fact that pitchers in general are just better than they used to be. Taking that first pitch fastball over the heart of the plate for a strike does the batter no favors when it's the best pitch they'll see.

I find the whole shoot/pipe bomb thing to generally be eye rolling cringe but hot damn MJF. He's like if Ric Flair and Roddy Piper had a baby.

Watching old Nitro it's apparent how terrible and pointless interviewers are today. Mean Gene and Tony Schiovane would carry on a conversation with a wrestler and try to engage with them and lead them where they need to go. Nowadays it's "So and so said something about you last week. What do you have to say about that?" And that's all they contribute. You could get rid of them and no one would even notice.

Trevor Bauer suspended for two seasons
jerichoholicninja replied to NBBrewFan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If this is what they deemed an appropriate punishment they should have banned him for life. I don't know what sort of evidence the league has that makes them think that a 2 year ban fits the crime but not kicking him out for good. This seems like a "we don't have any real proof of anything but we need good PR" suspension. I suppose it doesn't really matter since unless something drastically changes with his accusers no MLB team is ever going to sign him again anyway. -
I knew before applying that more than likely both jobs would have interactions with each other at some point. I had orientation for the job I accepted this morning. My first day is Monday and we will be meeting with Job B. I still haven't heard anything from Job B but I guess they're going to find out I accepeted a job elsewhere on Monday.

I got a job offer from Job A and accepted it last week. I also have an application out there for Job B at a place I've wanted to work at for almost 10 years. I haven't heard anything from Job B but I think I've got a good shot at it. I really wasn't all that interested in Job A until the interview when they basically they told me I could work whatever schedule I wanted and almost seemed to bend over backwards to get me to take it. My question is if Job B wants to interview me do I take it knowing full well probably the only way I would take the job would be if they offer me the same schedule? I don't want to waste their time but I also want them to know that I would love to work there but right now having that flexibly of schedule fits better with my family.

I'm not surprised by a lack of professional pitchers from Wisconsin. Unless you go to State you're only going to pitch in a handful of games with a temperature or windchill above 40 during your high school career. Just terrible conditions to try to pitch in. And if you play for one of the high level traveling teams in the summer your arm's probably going to be shot from abuse by the time you get to college. And if you play college ball in Wisconsin you'll have the same weather to deal with along with competing for innings against all the guys your coach recruited from warm weather states who are much further developed.

That's some Cardinals level thinking from Willy. Let's also not forget about the Pirates constantly throwing at Braun for years after he "pimped" a game winning homer against them. I can't even remember the last time the Brewers threw at someone (maybe McClung against the Cardinals?) but teams sure love to throw at us.

More likely he's Yadier Molina's replacement in St. Louis.

Just got a free year of Peacock so I've been watching Nitro starting about 1997. Man Hall, Nash, and Hogan were so great at what they did with the NWO.
