His character issues followed him to the Blue Jays. Yes, you are correct.

So basically beat "everybody" in our own division? No, break even with the likes of Atlanta, St. Louis and S.F. and beat the bum teams that you SHOULD beat. So, you are saying we "should" beat "all" the teams in our own pathetic Division and it's playoffs? That's looking like it's more doable every day that goes by. Just sayin just sayin. Your Cards are included btw.. That team played way over their heads last year it looks like. Amazingly enough they are only a half game out in the WC. Something is wrong with baseball this year. Not as many good teams or something, and the Brewers have been without their best hitters for pretty much the whole season! and we are 6th in runs scored!!! I guess my prediction of being 1st in runs scored by the end of the season has a very high probability of happening.

Is this your way of saying you don't care about or want to discuss Brett Lawrie? I was just being nice to Stache. He's complained about MLB Tv not working for him to me before and I just wanted to say I'm happy it's working and he can watch the games. I meant it. On Lawrie, I was in favor of the trade when it happen and I still am. He has a HUGE attitude problem and he's a player that never would have signed an extension with us due to his never ending hate of being kept in the minors. He should have just shut his mouth, but lord knows he can't do that. He will be a good player while he's on the field and not suspended, injured or slumping. Not a player the Brewers should have kept. The trade needed to happen, and it got us to the playoffs. Mission accomplished.

So basically beat "everybody" in our own division?

I'm happy for you that your MLB TV is working for you.

Ok, so I'm 4-1 in predicting a win before the game starts. That's a hot streak based on high probability and and a good amount of winnings should I have bet on it. What's the issue here now? I'm 2-0 when I locate "free" streams off the internet to watch games. By your logic, maybe I have a skill..... You didn't predict anything. There's more to it than your thinking. The pitchers historys, lineups, indiviual player struggles up until that point or the opposite individual players successes, pitching matchups, home runs stats, ball park factors, can the team bunt. I go through all of this before the game and before my prediction. This is how I know the probability, Daubs. For the record, Daubs, the Brewers will win 100 games this season.

If Nelson throws harder than Fiers, then he is automatically the better prospect. Don't even mention Maddux he's proven he's an extremely rare commodity and doesn't come around often at all.

For that trade I'd throw in Fiers to make it very realistic. Feel free to adjust my proposal guys to more realistic levels. The Brewers have the prospects and if you include a player like Braun anything is possible. If you are worried about giving up too much don't even think twice. There's also Gallardo and Ramirez that you can trade in the off-season for prospect and that 3B man we need. Stanton can be re-signed the Brewers have the money to pull a yankees and pay market value for him.

If you predict an extra inning game they pay extra, Daubs. Low probability higher payout.

I don't count extra inning games. Those are 50/50. Too bad Major League Baseball doesn't do the same and they still count in the W-L columns. Everything is about probability the likeliness of something happening in 9 innings. Extra inning games are 50/50. So much is unknown about the positional moves that were used up and who's left. Now, before a game starts you can predict the probability. Think of it like when a SP get's a no decision after giving up the tying run in the 9th and they go to extras.

I don't count extra inning games. Those are 50/50. Hey, I like this. Let's not count games where the Brewers score less than 4 runs too. No, because you can win games by scoring less than 4 runs.

50-2 to be exact.

When I predict a win early on they win. I'm 5 for 5 now in game threads. viewtopic.php?f=65&t=31184 Post 2 PrinceFielderx1: "We're going to win this game also." http://espn.go.com/mlb/recap?id=340422108 I don't count extra inning games. Those are 50/50.

When I predict a win early on they win. I'm 5 for 5 now in game threads. You also told me yesterday to not worry, that Wandy would give up another homerun, but he didn't. WHAT SHOULD I BELIEVE!!! He gave up 2 in that game and the home run ball is becoming a huge issue for him. I put 80% probability on that. Good odds.

Hiandtight, Taylor, Nelson and Coulter for Stanton? I'd do that in a heart beat. Then sign Stanton to a long term deal. Done.

The best young SP in baseball and 1 year of Stanton whom they can't re-sign for Braun is a fair asking price. Throwing in the 2 hottest MiLB Sp's one of which is the Brewers top prospect in Nelson, and Fiers, and the OF help that they need for Their LF'er, is more than a fair price.

Vegas, In regards to fernandez it would depend on if the Marlins really think they can re-sign Stanton. If not then Staton is a 1 year player, and way to small of a return for 5.5 years of Braun.

Votto might be injured pretty good. Undergoing an MRI.

Despite Braun injury's which is nothing new he will continue to put up MVP type numbers or pretty close to it. Teams would be lining up for him.

I'd trade him for an above average 3B and 1B prospect. 2 top 20 prospects We are set with pitching. You wouldn't go after any MLB players? Which prospects would you target? I would if it was the Marlins we were dealing with then I'd ask for Stanton, Jose Fernandez on the condition that we extend Stanton long term like we did with Braun. We have holes to fill many holes in 2 years from now. I'd even throw in Estrada, Jimmy Nelson, Fiers,Tyrone Taylor, and Schafer if it's not enough, and to get Christian Yelich added to it. So here's the break down - Brewers send Miami - Braun, Estrada, Nelson, Fiers, Tyrone Taylor, Schafer Brewers get Stanton, Christian Yelich, Jose Fernandez. Miami needs an additional OF and this would give them one in Schafer who can immediately fill in in RF for them, and a future one that is doing very well in AA in Tyrone Taylor who plays good defense also. This would allow the Brewers to put Stanton to 1B, Yelic to RF, and Jose immediately to the rotation. I'd do it this trade this mid season actually. There's no guarantee the Marlin can extend Stanton or that he clearly wants to stay. However, the Brewers are a contender and I'm sure he'd sign with us if we offered him Braun salary over 9 years and gave him a raise in his last year of Arby. Just defer some of the money like we did with Braun, and we hvae our new franchise player and the Brewers with the additional TV revenue can afford it. Then immediate work out deals for Peralta and Jose. Then if I was the Brewers GM I'd trade Gallardo and Ramirez plus Cash in the off-season for a top mlb pitching prospect and a top 3B prospect and a high ceiling minor league pitching prospect. That will solidify the rotation and we'd have depth in the minors, and Thornburg who can step in and take over. This would make us miles better than anybody in our own division and make us a contender for at least another 5 years. This would save the Brewers 29 million next season, FYI.

The best of the Greinke trade: Escobar vs. Cain http://www.royalsreview.com/2013/6/17/4437948/the-best-of-the-greinke-trade-escobar-vs-cain Cain was not only not the "must have" in the trade, or anywhere near on par with Escobar, he was considered behind both Escobar and Odorizzi as far as desirability goes. This is from a Kansas City blog. Cain was the third piece in a four player trade. Once again, you are just wrong. But, as always, you will ignore everybody because you "like to be right." http://mlb.si.com/2013/03/08/booms-and-busts-center-fielders/ http://sports.yahoo.com/news/greinke-fetches-fine-haul-trade-174900842--mlb.html Again order of importance, http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101219&content_id=16345796&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9165333/assessing-kansas-city-haul-zack-greinke The only 2 player mention in this article were Escobar and Cain. The two most important players in the trade. Notice the order of importance Escobar 1st then CF Cain second. There's a reason for that. Ok, you see the pattern here? It's not complicated. Case closed.

It's all about putting us over the top and it will depend on the faith the Brewers have in Nelson, Thornburg, and Fiers. Estrada will be traded in my opinion because we will need a 1B man very badly and in 2 years we will lose serious big time pieces we have right now and the Brewers have huge faith in their minor league pitchers. Mid-season trades net a huge return, and we can take advantage without it really hurting us, but by extending our contending past 2 more years. Estrada is as good as gone anyways this year.

Great movie!
