    I call people like that a Phoney. It works on several levels.
  2. Thurston Fluff
    That's probably why Sanchez isn't on the roster anymore.
  3. Thurston Fluff
    It's Gregg. Get your facts straight.

    If often wonder how good Eldred would have been had Phil Garner not essentially ruined his career.

    The third most popular one was Thurston Waffles who was a cat. He's dead, so an ex-cat. I wonder if this site was ever first in a Google search before. It was definitely a first for me. Either way WE'RE NUMBER ONE, WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!

    I googled Thurston Fluff for the heck of it. The first result was Brewer fanatic and the second was my facebook page which I primarily use as a storage space for original humor. There are zero other Thurston Fluffs out there.

    Keep in mind this is all premised on needing to find playing time for Black. If trading Hoskins would leave a hole at first there is already a hole at third. We have a viable inexpensive option at first in Black. While there is risk in trusting a rookie there is also a risk Hoskins isn't an 800 OPS guy next season. If that $8 million gets us a better option at third and Black turns out to be serviceable at first the combination of both would probably be better overall than an 800 OPS poor fielding first baseman would be on his own in either event. All that assumes we'd have to pick up over half his contract. I'm not so sure that's the case though the more we pick up the better the return.

    Hoskins contract isn't that much of an impediment. They can pick up part of the contract and still get some salary relief if all else fails. I'm sure there would be some team willing to take Hoskins for $8 million for example. While paying $10 million for him to be on another team isn't optimal no need to compound the mistake. It still leaves us with $8 million to spend elsewhere.

    I forgot to turn our clock at the store back an hour yesterday. Better late than never.

    I think the move had more to do with how to spend the money than it did whether to spend it. I think the Brewers have found enough guys like Rea for nothing to think spending $5 million on someone like Rea is just not cost effective.
  11. Thurston Fluff
    With Haase looking like a viable backup, Hoskins picking up his option and limited payroll flexibility declining Sanchez's option is a no brainer. Especially if the plan is to let Yelich DH more often.

    I love players like him who get a chance and make the most of it but I also don't think a great story should cloud the judgement of how good he is likely to be next season. I just don't see journeymen type pitchers with average stuff worth taking a chance on in their age 35 season. If he can parlay his past two seasons into a job elsewhere I'd be thrilled for him. If not the most I'd be interested in us offering him is an incentive laden contract with a minimal base salary. Maybe $1-2 million tops with incentives that could boost up to the 5-4 million range. I don't think it's out of the question he could end up settling for a minor league contract with an invite to camp and early opt out clause type deal. I'll always be grateful for what he did here when we most needed someone to step up. But a grateful heart and a good backstory won't win future games.

    If I was forced to choose I think I'd prefer Hoskins for $9.5 million less.

    Counsell is getting the band back together. I heard they're doing a reunion tour with Barron Rodger's band.
  15. Thurston Fluff
    I have no problem with him staying but I wouldn't be surprised if he's traded.

    In the should have done this a year ago department, Bob Costas is retiring from calling baseball games. I wonder if he planned on doing so all along or if he, or someone else, took an objective look at his work this year and said enough.
  17. Thurston Fluff
    I have a feeling Ohtani is the next in the fall off a cliff line. He's going to be going back to double duty next season which will be the first time he does that in his 30's.

    Any reasonably sized highschool field should be enough to accommodate all their fans.

    I saw a video of them doing a Metallica cover song as kids in 2015.https://www.inquisitr.com/2000765/three-little-girls-perform-metallica-cover-and-nail-it-video

    People who stare at the phone while walking their dog. Had a lady today completely miss her dog eating a dead something. A couple minutes later she almost let her dog run into a bicyclist. Seriously people, is it that hard to look at the world around you when outside?
  21. Thurston Fluff
    I think most of us are complaining that it's too easy for a few select teams to buy more bites at the apple. I don't want the World Series to be a glorified all star game. Nor am I interested in watching one.
  22. Thurston Fluff
    I hope it is. The only way to get the change necessary is if nobody watches. I think MLB and the media have the mindset that the two largest markets in the biggest game is the best way to get ratings. I'm not sure it is anymore. I guess we'll find out.
  23. Thurston Fluff
    If it is I'll do my part in making it the lowest rated World Series ever.
  24. Thurston Fluff
    Really excited to see a potential Dodgers/Yankees world series.

    I often thought the second gold glove was most impressive. To get one using a glove that heavy and inflexible must be tough.
