Manny Machado (Part 1)
JackNicholson1974 replied to mlloyd10's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Woodruff, Phillips and Zack Brown? yeah, Id do it. -
I will just reiterate that I dont see the longterm upside to Realmuto - or any catcher really. They get hurt a lot, transition out of catcher and their bats dont play in the corner infield of OF positions. Call up Nottingham and give him a majority of the work to see if he is ready maybe. If we are trading the rest of our prospects, it better be for someone better than Realmuto.

The Lucroy trade didnt work out so well for Texas (and it wouldnt have worked out well for Cleveland either). Almost every team is a black hole at catcher. The Brewers should pass.

I want that guy Dzazan Musa.

Syndergaard and deGrom
JackNicholson1974 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I wouldnt trade Hader, the way bullpens are being used today, he may have as much value as Thor or deGrom. But I would empty the cupboards down on the farm. Phillips Burnes Peralta and Huira. If they wanted Ray instead of any of those guys Id slide him in there as well. Lutz. Basically pick any four guys. -
Syndergaard and deGrom
JackNicholson1974 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Id back up the truck for either one of them, to be honest. Huira, Burnes and Ray? -
It's not always so black and white. As a criminal defense attorney, I can tell you that I have had big cases, where people enter a plea to something less so as to avoid the unknown or losing a trial on something bigger. Often times, cases are resolved based upon the perceived "certainty" of a plea deal vs the uncertainty of trial. I can also tell you that this "not being able to play MLB" would fall as a collateral consequence to his conviction - not unlike someone losing their right to own a firearm after a felony conviction, and that upon being advised of said collateral consequence during a plea colloquy that clients have balked at entering a plea and negotiations are restarted to avoid that charge/plea and that collateral consequence...because its not really about the truth or fairness, its about convictions for the State and avoiding an undersireable punishment for defendants. I would not be at all surprised if all parties, including the State, went back in time and advised that this collateral consequence would be out there, that a different deal would have been made. On top of that, because juvie records are sealed, it should not have gotten out to begin with and that is always taken into consideration in juvie deals as well. The entire case sounds like a headache for the Brewers or any MLB team so best to avoid, but it isnt black and white, I can assure you that.

YoutubeTV has me intrigued. I am going to look into it.

Maybe we can combine this thread into all of the other threads that incessantly complain about TV announcers, radio announcers, studio people, sideline reporters, gameday hosts, PA announcers, beer vendors...I'd like to keep all of my ranting about people doing their jobs (and doing them quite well I might add) on TV in place.

So I am already so far behind in last place that I am building for next year in this keeper league. I made that trade 1 day before it was announced he needed TJ surgery. I felt bad, because I knew he had an arm issue. So I agreed to take him back, and give the other owner Hoskins back, but I got Nick Senzel in addition as consideration. Im fine with that.

Do we know how old Maker really is? Does it matter?
-
How many times were the Brewers shut out last year?
-
The offense is terrible. Has been all year.
-
How many more guys would Boston need to NOT have before the Bucks could beat them? 2 more? 5?
-
Sorry guys. This team cannot beat the Celtics when Celtics we’re down 3 starters and two of their three best players. This team, as composed, is trash. If they don’t figure it out SOON, Giannis is gone. Giannis is awesome. He will be gone soon if they can’t find a GM and a coach with a clue, and not have trash players to put around him. Back to the days of Lee Mayberry and Greg Cadillac Anderson.

advice anyone? Keeper league. My 1b are Matt Carpenter and Logan Morrison (puke). My SS options are Corey seager, Tim Anderson and Dansby Swanson. Have an offer to trade Seager straight up for Rhys Hoskins. Thoughts?>

I had a Fitbit Surge and the screen shorted out. My family has also used a Fitbit Charge 2 and the Alta, both bands broke in short order but replacements can be had for under $10. A friend of mine was just showing me their Garmin, which I actually think looks better and the features I thought were more detailed. So I might check that brand out.

WI Resident Only Presale of Cubs Game Tickets
JackNicholson1974 replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think its the ticket prices to be honest. A friend of mine called me this morning and he wanted to go to the game. I knew it would be close to a full house, so I checked the 400 level to see what was available. We found 4 seats together. $50 a ticket. No thanks. -
Im willing to give the Bucks the benefit of the doubt on this season, but it seems to me that the coaching decision they are about to make this off season will be the biggest decision they make in a long time and will determine where this team will be headed in the next 5 years.

Keston Hiura [Promoted to AA 5/31/18]
JackNicholson1974 replied to markedman5's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Before they shut him down for any type of surgery I would fully expect the Brewers to call him up to the big leagues to get his clock started, he can then rehab while on the 60 day DL. /Sarcasm. -
Cardinal pitchers will always own Brewers.
-
The Bucks are going to squander their best talent since Jabbar. This is a team in the bottom half of the league? Really? Pathetic. I've been to four Bucks games in my life. The first was circa 1995. I have been to 3 in the past two years because Giannis. If he goes, I doubt there will be much reason to go down and sit in the rafters of the new arena.

I remember having his 1983 Topps card and looking at the back in amazement that he started playing in 1963 for a team I had never heard of, the Houston Colt .45s. The numbers were even in a smaller font than most other cards to squeeze in all of those stats - or so it seemed anyway to a 7 year old kid. I loved that card because to me he was a relic from a time when my dad was a boy. Baseball cards...man....what a nostalgic trip.

What if we don't add a starter?
JackNicholson1974 replied to jonescm128's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
If we dont add another starter we should start a "Can Domingo Santana Pitch?" thread. -
To every person continuing to complain about the players calling themselves "overpaid" I would love to move toward a system where players make the minimum for three years and then hit free agency. You cant have it both ways in that the "market" says a 30 year old player is really only worth "$x" when he wasnt able to use the advantage of the market when he was 25 years old. Lets just go to full-on capitalistic structure, young players will get what they deserve, older players cant complain about what they get or dont get, fans cant sit around a call the millionaire players greedy or crybabys while paying to build billionaire owners free stadiums.
