In what way? I thought the collision rule at home was a major success last year. The players adapted to it very quickly and we got rid of something that was hurting the game. I mean if we have to live with 'old school' baseball why do they get to use gloves and wear protective gear. That is how baseball "is supposed" to be played. You forgot the blue on that right? Umpires randomly calling runners safe when they were out by 20 feet and every play at the plate being challenged because neither the umpires nor the reviewers have any consistent interpretation of the rule. I would agree that the players have done a good job of "playing safer" but those who enforce the rules don't have a clue what they're doing. I expect the same thing with these plays at second. -
I'm not sure if the argument you're presenting is sarcasm or not but using RBI% of whatever you want to call it to determine a players value or talent is pretty useless.

2015–16 Official Pro Wrestling Thread (WWE, TNA, etc).
jerichoholicninja replied to patrickgpe's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Haven't watched WWE in a few years but had to watch Shane's return. So is this basically a rehash of the storyline that ended with the Fatal Four Way at Wrestlemanaia 10 or so years ago? And why is Undertaker involved other than he needs something for Wrestlemania? Is there supposed to be heat between the two. Also, I gotta say I love the LED boards on the side of the ring but what's up with the ring posts being an extra foot taller? -
Carter is the 1B. I'm not sure why you are even making this an issue.

And all everyone wants to discuss is his power, even though he's averaging 29HR per 500AB with 64% being SOLO. Every run matters but if a decent majority of your power doesn't produce runs than its not as great as it appears on the surface. And he doesn't produce a lot of runs outside of HRs either. Santana, using last years stint with us, would have hit 25HR in 500AB. Back to Davis' arm, id be curious to see the numbers comparing his run production vs how many runs he's essentially giving up because of his arm, which allows so many extra bases to be taken putting much more pressure on the pitcher and defense. No doubt this year it would have been worse given what the Cubs, etc were doing vs him 2nd half last year. 78mph on competitive throws is literally comical Please explain how there not being runners on base when Davis is at the plate has anything to do with his value or talent as a hitter.

I really doubt that if a team or two has strong interest in Smith, that they first need to see how he does in spring before making an offer. He's already proven the kind of stuff he has in real games. Yeah, but I was thinking more in terms of what the opposition will think they can deal for him. We all know that spring stats are meaningless, but people still look at them as meaningful for some reason. If he's lights out early in the spring and someone asks about him, there won't be a lowball offer. If Smith is shaky early, Stearns may get an offer, but not one he likes. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I don't think he gets dealt in the spring if he gets knocked around 3 or 4 times. Smith probably won't face an actual major league hitter in a game until his 3rd or 4th time out. And he'll only have about 5 innings after two weeks worth of games. The only thing you can learn from that is whether or not his velocity is where it was last year.

The doctor didn't think I had it last time and we did a throat swab just to be sure that came back negative. My symptoms are definitely different this time as all my discomfort is in my throat and when I looked in my mouth last night it looked like my throat had chicken pox.

Aaron Hill favorite to start at 3B?
jerichoholicninja replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Middlebrooks isn't even on the 40 man and Cecchini still has options. I think it's pretty obvious neither of them will the 3B on opening day. -
Getting people riled up creates ratings and clicks and therefore money. Simply reporting facts doesn't bring in the bucks.

I will be hitting one week of sickness tomorrow. I can no longer sleep at night because my nose is so blocked up I can't breathe and when I blow it out it's now solid chunks of yellow- green, bloody grossness. After getting over that and spending 4 days at almost 100% health, I've got something else completely different now. I've spent a handful of days healthy this month and yet my wife has yet to get sick. She's pregnant. She's supposed to be the miserable one. Another trip to the doctor today. Strep throat. Joy.

Right field, left field whatever. It's basically the same position and the majority of major leaguers who play one also play the other. I understand why he was moved to RF before and I get why he's going back to LF now but it really isn't a big deal.

Lucroy Trades/Proposals
jerichoholicninja replied to Luke99's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
...or his agent. Or Braun. -
Re The Royals projections being so far off, did these projections also project the Tigers to tank as hard as they actually did or the White Sox to be as bad as they have been? The Tigers were supposed to be the class of the AL Central the last two years and were not and the White Sox were supposed to be at least competitive. Those two teams could have given the Royals another 6-8 wins that they "weren't supposed to have."

2016 Official Milwaukee Brewers Bobblehead list
jerichoholicninja replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Capitalism at it's finest. -
I don't see a whole lot of tough calls in that list though. Jeffress, Thornburg, and Villar are locks to make the team. Unless Liriano has a disaster of a spring, he makes the team. Flores is very likely to start the year on the DL. That leaves Pena and Nieuwenhuis to "battle" for their jobs.

Lucroy Trades/Proposals
jerichoholicninja replied to Luke99's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Luc and Smith for Baez and Montero - no way in my book. That's a huge overpay. You're actually taking on salary. Baez has serious contact issues, and some scouts don't know if he'll ever hit big league pitching. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want him, he obviously has talent, but it would be way underselling on Luc - not to mention giving them Smith. That's a massive overpay. If the club likes Baez, you could do something like remove Smith from the deal, then add something else in from Chicago's system. That's my opinion. LOL at that trade. Montero is older than both Luc and Smith and offers nothing for the rebuild. So the trade is basically Smith and Lucroy for Baez. Which is also LOL. -
I'm not sure anyone is saying the MLB team is improved over last year. I see a lot of people saying the 2016 team might have a better record than the 2015 team which certainly is possible considering Lohse was terrible, Garza was terrible and can't be any worse this year, Ramirez was terrible, Lucroy and Scooter were crap for 1/2 a year, and Segura was crap for a whole year. Last year was such a disaster for so many players. If the new guys can play to even the bottom of their expectations the 2016 record shouldn't be any worse than 2015.

I know there is no such picture but you might be on the right track. I'll see if I can find an old Skunks program and see if there is anything worthwhile in there.

RF and LF are practically the same position. I understand the throwing arm argument but how many times does a RF make throw to 3B in a season? Two, three, if that? But I don't understand the thinking of putting your worse fielder in LF. Most hitters are right handed and therefore aren't most balls hit to LF? Shouldn't you want your better fielder there? Either way, like I said, the positions are interchangeable and it really makes no difference who plays which one.

Hey let's just ditch the amateur draft all together and make these kids free agents. It worked so well before. All these anti-tanking writer loons can buzz off. They didn't make a peep about it while the Cubs were doing it and they never said a word when the Red Sox traded 1/3 of their Major League roster to the Dodgers. The only kind of change I can get behind to "end the tanking" is setting the draft order based off of multiple past seasons combined record instead of just the previous year. And even that wouldn't stop it from happening.

Braun has played 140+ games 6 of his 9 seasons. One of those being his rookie year and another his suspension. Tulo has only done that 3 times out of 10 in his career. Ryan's got health issues but he's been on the field way more that Tulo has. Heck, Toronto might be a spot for Braun next year as I doubt they resign both Bautista and Encarnacion.

The picture I have of Davis is from 2 or 3 years ago when the Brewers set up a "selfie-cam" at Spring Training and players would randomly walk up to it and take a selfie. Davis's was the only one I found remotely amusing so I used it. I'm not even a Davis fan or anything, I just liked the picture.

And the Rangers got Alfonso Soriano out of it. It wasn't just a salary dump.

Unless I missed something significant, I think Jungmann is a lock for the MLB team. I don't know. It's Jungmann or Davies. I think both showed enough last year to get a rotation spot but there's only 5 of those spots and 4 have already been claimed.
