    I made a correction. I'm not saying a convicted felon can't tell the truth, but the source is extremely suspect. Is there any independent corroboration for these allegations? he's basing it off the alternative facts that he has

    false. Theo Epstein can. Three in big markets is not as impressive as one in a small market.... Dayton Moore trumps it. I think you're forgetting that he won in two major markets, and won quickly, after failure for those franchise for literally forever. It's not like he was there for 20 years and won in his final year...

    no one can guarantee a championship. false. Theo Epstein can.

    getting him to his 10-5 rights wont make it hard to move if the brewers get an offer from a team he wants to go to... which is not much different than a limited NTC other than he can veto it.. but if he wants to go to LA or Miami, why would he veto that trade? I hope Braun never leaves and is this generations Yount. Milwaukee needs a player like that.

    interesting signing if only for the fact that the brewers are not competing in 2017 and it gives the opportunity to allows the front office from burning a year from any young MiLB arm

    pretty good return, good job Stearns! lets see who gets dealt next! I like we got an actual MLB-ready 3B, too
  8. torts
    isnt Bellinger a 1B? Didnt the brewers just sign a 1B for 3 years in Thames? Or are they going to move one of those two to 3B or the OF if they got Bellinger?

    Laugh all you want, but the home field advantage thing was a really good idea at the time. Might have worked out better if teams actually tried, but they didn't really play 100% so it turned into a bit of a joke. What some argue is the most popular sport in the world, soccer, ends in ties all the time. Hockey games are allowed to end in ties and often do. NFL games can end in ties. Yet, one meaningless baseball game ends in a tie and people get upset and rules are unnecessarily changed? It's an exhibition game featuring baseball stars. The outcome and score of the game should be secondary and meaningless. My guess is if I picked 5 random years and asked you to tell me who won the all-star game in that year, you would not know. Why wouldn't you know?...because it's not important and it shouldn't be important. Whether the players tried or not, tying the game to WS home field advantage was never a good idea. There hasnt been a tie in hockey since the 05-06 season.

    CBA has been agreed upon

    any noise around this? the less noise the better, usually means pretty smooth negotiations.. though its only been a week.

    it doesn't matter what the witness says, the second that toxicology report came out, the court of public opinion cast their judgement on him and wont waiver.

    Cubs win the World Series in 5 games, only to have news break the following week that 3 players who played crucial roles in their post season push failed PED tests. So even though they won, they still lost in the eyes of the baseball lords.

    it doesn't really require it, but the league may use league expansion to negotiate other terms, same with the DH change. Players want it, owners can say you can have it if you give us xyz. I think its more likely to happen during a CBA negotiation than mid-stream for that reason.
  15. torts
    Length of season to 154 Expansion of league to 32 Expansion of roster to 30 International draft

    What happens to scoots???

    I love beer, so im all for this

    This is great, it's also kind of funny how wrong everyone was with all the reports saying Lancaster was as good as done. Truly don't know what you don't know
  19. torts
    at least they break up my summer next year with games in May, July and September when they come to Pittsburgh

    I think just the fact that our farm system went from 29th to 1st in what, 2 1/2 years is pretty dang impressive. I realize not ALL of that was him, but to go from 19 to #1 in just over a year? sold on David. 2016 midseason #1 2016 preseason #9 2015 preseason #19 2014 preseason #29

    first 17 games arcia hit .156/.239/.443 last 16 games Arcia is hitting .300/386/926 looks like he hit a groove right around the colorado series

    except you don't know that, you're just making an assumption based off one incident.
  23. torts
    quick, easy way to know at what point do numbers start to actually represent a real representation.... takes even longer for pitching. Arcia is at 88 at bats/97 plate appearances this season http://www.fangraphs.com/library/principles/sample-size/ Stabilization Points for Offense Statistics: 60 PA: Strikeout rate 120 PA: Walk rate 240 PA: HBP rate 290 PA: Single rate 1610 PA: XBH rate 170 PA: HR rate 910 AB: AVG 460 PA: OBP 320 AB: SLG 160 AB: ISO

    yeah, i'd love to see MLB players join. NHL halts their season for the olympics, though its easier for them to condense their season, and that tournament is pretty awesome. MLB probably wont stop their season, but we might also be looking at a 154 season beginning by 2020 with the new CBA, so that could make up for some of the time lost if they were to stop. I want to see the best athletes perform in the olympics.

    also, what happened has zero impact on what player the brewers can take. A list was chosen back on the day of the trade, and Texas agreed that one of those players would be the PTBNL. They cannot change that because he was arrested.
