  1. Hader has sucked for the Padres and Taylor has sucked for the Brewers. There's no way around either of those facts.
  2. College? I think a large majority of us weren't even born yet.
  3. Caught cheating? Gosh I hope so.
  4. Caught cheating? Gosh I hope so.
  5. I've been trying to see if this is addressed anywhere but I can't. From what MLB released the positioning of the fielders is determined at the time of the pitch. Now, what does that mean? Ball released from pitcher's hand or start of the pitcher's motion. If it's start of the pitcher's motion there's noting to stop a pitcher who's going out of the windup from making their first movement with their foot and then waiting until the fielder's move into their shifted spots before continuing with the pitch. If that's the case, I doubt many guys are going to do it but it would be fun to watch.
  6. Burnes isn't resigning here. We won't and can't offer what he wants and the MLBPA doesn't want him to sign whatever we would offer anyway.
  7. If we're going to severely limit the shift are we now going to see an increase in PT for crappy hitting middle infielders who have range? Any gains in offense could be negated by these types of players getting more PA's.
  8. Wasn't the old logo an orange football helmet for a team called the Browns? This is certainly more interesting and creative.
  9. Until they can figure out some way that prevents pitchers from throwing 100 MPH fast balls not much will change about how the game is played. That is the biggest reason MLB games are a snorefest now.
  10. What other team does those things well? I'm generally curious. Players just aren't trained in those areas anymore. That's not a Counsell thing or a Brewer thing, it's a "just the way the game is played now" thing
  11. Ultimately don't care but no I'm not routing for him in any way. He's not Molina level of baseball "holier-than-thou, play the game the right way" crap but he was right up there when he was a Cardinal. Personally, I enjoyed him sucking in LA.
  12. I agree on disliking all those things. However, those things mean winter is on the way out.
  13. Genius move by the Brewer's marketing and PR people to change the narrative from the disaster this season is turning into.
  14. The whole my agent and I decided "I'm only going to pitch 1 inning and it will be the 9th inning" thing. I don't know if it's a bad relationship but it just feels like one where both sides are content to move on from each other.
  15. I doubt Josh would want to come back to Milwaukee if he's DFA'd. It didn't seem like he had a great relationship with the organization. Also, whatever we would offer him the Dodgers or Yankees would just throw a couple more million on top of it anyway.
  16. I hate fall because it's a tease. It's summer on it's deathbed. Warm days, cold nights, plants dying, and total darkness by 6:00. I hate seeing and hearing leaves on the ground. Every day is a reminder that real summer is over and winter is coming. I hate the slow change and it just depresses the heck out of me. I'm not fan of winter either but winter is what it is - cold and snow. There's no pretending to be something else.
  17. I don' t really understand what the reward was here. Stearns already addressed the weak bullpen areas before acquiring him. Any thoughts that Rosenthal would make significant contributions to a playoff push were just dreams. If he was healthy and pitching important innings it most likely meant a lot of other guys were injured or failed. I'm sure whatever we gave up will ultimately be no loss but this seemed like a really pointless trade from the start.
  18. I don't care what anyone says but summer is essentially over and I'm now going to be depressed for the next 7 or 8 months. September and October are just warm fall. And I hate fall.
  19. http://shoreland.leagues.wibaseball.org/news/15717 A little bit of Jerry's amateur career in Kewaunee covered here.

  21. I believe all three of the horrible "blocking the plate" calls the last week were called out on the field and then overturned by replay. Something needs to be done about the rule. And replay, but that's another issue.
  22. I never once in my life noticed such things until I started living with my wife and she scolded me for putting it the "wrong:" way. Now I can never not notice which was it is whenever I use a bathroom.
  23. When they have two teams play on a field surrounded by a chain link fence and the players sit on football benches, then I'll be interested. This whole thing is so fake.
  24. I would like to see San Diego fail only to prove that "going for it/going all in" rarely pays off.
  25. I love a good manager tirade with an umpire as much as the next guy but Aaron Boone is a real turd. He cries about every strike that doesn't go his team's way and when he comes on the field all he does is tell the umpire how much he sucks. That's not an argument. It's an attempt to humiliate and belittle.
