The current Sky Sox leader in OPS Ben Paulsen has a .910 OPS for the season. That's 1.043 at home and .758 in the road. Personally, I'm excited to see what Coulter can do there.
Yes, but for how long? And top minor league system doesn't equal minor league wins. When the Brewers had Indy and they won the AAA World Series the team was a bunch of never-would-be's and never-were veterans and Ben Sheets.
I don't know. I think I would rather be a fan of a team that acts like the Cardinals and wins than a fan of a team that plays all nicey, nice and loses all the time.
this is what i don't get. RRR knows Wainwright's history against this team. You could tell a few innings into the game that Wainwright was going to be close to unhittable tonight. Why just sit back and play conservative against him? What does that accomplish? The result is going to be the same that it's always been. Maybe if they had tried something aggressive with Gomez on the bases, then maybe just maybe it could have rattled Wainwright just a bit. You never know. Maybe it could have blown up completely and the Brewers would have lost anyways. Who knows. The only way you "get him rattled" is by getting hits and scoring runs.
I thought the exact same thing. The last two Brewer managers have had the same ho hum, don't ruffle any feathers attitude and they continually get shown up by other teams and screwed by umps. I really hope whoever is next isn't the same.
Not sure why this is a problem. The contract was up, everyone was free to do what they want. If Milwaukee wasn't happy with their stadium they didn't have to keep renewing it.
Nah, we can take care of them ourselves Oh ya, forgot about that. For me this recent winning streak/return to respectability has been tainted because the Pirates refuse to lose so the team is more or less spinning its wheels.

I know it's not going to happen but I was wondering about Hanley Ramirez. He could play SS for a few years and then move to 3B. Sort of solves two problems at once. I know the Brewers couldn't compete with the offers he'll be getting but I was really surprised that he's 30. I would have guessed he was 28 or so.
No, you're not a bad person. But I think any pitch that is even close to the head of a Cardinal batter will be met with stares and scowls and other forms of Cardinal consternation.
