I wish I could watch the game. I feel like I miss so much not being able to see it live. What type of tv package do you have?
-
Chacin will get better but he wasn’t helped tonight. Villar cost him a run and most likely Yelich did as well. Gotta play better defense.
-
Well the way we are swinging it, it’s not gonna matter how many Chacin gives up. Martinez is dialed in. Good thing we stole that one last night.
-
So why are our pitchers not throwing as hard? Just some dead arm?
-
Chacin, hit a corner already.
-
Counsells reaction in the dugouts after the last two Braun homers have been just awesome.
-
Villar needs to make that catch at 2B though. Just can’t have that get by you.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018

Ohtani takes Kluber deep for his second homer. He didn’t do much in spring training but like most always, that doesn’t mean much. -
As well as Villar and Arcia I think.
-
Being more tradeable and having more trade value are two entirely different things. In no world does Keon Broxton have more trade value than Domingo Santana, with all due respect. Yes good correction. Poor phrasing on my part there.
-
Sure would be nice to get six from Chacin tonight. 7-8 to Hader and Knebel to close it out would be ideal.
-
When was Domingo Santana almost traded? Please link us to that. I do recall reports that GM's weren't as high on him as people thought and another report that Broxton might have more trade value than he does. That's twice during the offseason that reports were not good on a possible Santana trade.
-
Even if he never got on base his defense alone has more value than playing Sogard.
-
Ish... Sogard again. Thames- 1B Yelich- LF Cain- CF Shaw- 3B Santana- RF Villar- 2B Pina- C Sogard- SS
-
I think it would be a good day to see Cain sit IMO. Thames- 1B Yelich- CF Braun- LF Shaw- 3B Santana- RF Villar- 2B Bandy- C Arica- SS would be my preference today.

You are right about me not liking it, but expecting me to just accept it as "the way it is" is off base, in my opinion. As fans we have every right to question and even criticize the decisions the front office makes, or in this case, doesn't make. But to call out speculation with more speculation is planting you firmly on the living room couch of a glass house. I didn't say you had to accept it just that it is where the organization is at. If there were deals, they'd be made. There isn't a reason not to make the deals if there were some that Stearns liked. I don't know really think that is speculation but more so adding 2 +2. We've had many posters just say trade (insert player) for rotation pieces, or prospects or whatever else but if the trade isn't there, it isn't there. Like I mentioned to adambr2, it is beginning to be a staple of how Stearns operates. He won't just give away talent because he has a lot of it in a certain area and he shouldn't. I would love to see us make a deal that gets us a starting pitcher for Santana or Broxton but it just doesn't look like there really is a deal right now.
-
Perhaps there are trades out there, but he isn't pulling the trigger for whatever reason. Speculating about the lack of player moves is still speculation. Who knows what the motivation factor is to hanging on to Broxton as basically a 4th-string CF? Also, I am one of those "posters" you speak of, and again don't appreciate the condescension. I sure as heck can wrap my mind around a trade not existing. That doesn't mean I agree with that thought, though. Too sensitive. Sorry, you feel that way but it sure as heck isn't condescending and it never was written to be that way. It's just a realization of where we are right now on our roster. We have an influx of players at certain positions. We haven't traded away those players because the trades aren't right. You may not like it, but that is where we are.
-
Huge difference. Now I do hate him.
-
This can't be understated. It seemingly becoming a staple to the approach of Stearns. He won't just give away talent because there is excess at a specific position. This is speculation. I went through this yesterday. We have a lot of posters that can't wrap their minds around trades that might not actually exist. If there were trades that were out there that Stearns felt would benefit our organization, do you not think he would pull the trigger on them?
-
I'm not a big Broxton fan because it is so nice to be moving in a different direction from the type of hitter he is but he is for sure deserving to be in the majors on some team. I'm glad that we have him for depth but he has the talent and has produced enough to be in the majors. Hard to argue that point. How is striking out nearly half your at-bats with a .299 OBP and average defense at the easiest position to find talent producing? You're right, he does not get on base enough and strikes out too much. I'm not sure anyone on the boards has said different of that but he does provide you good defense in the outfield, hits for power and steals bags when he gets on. That is serviceable in the majors. Go look at other teams 4th and 5th outfielders and then see if that changes your opinion about whether or not that he is a major league player. Might not be a good one but his skills are one.

Good thing we have Villar then. On a serious note, I really hope they really take care of this kid because he has a special bat. -
A lie is a lie. Braun was over the top in defense of his actions because he knew what was at stake for him. He had thought he had gotten away with it and wanted people to know it. It was an error in judgment on his part and again, one that even he has said he would love to change. But he can't go back and going forward, all he does is like others have stated, be a model citizen and good clubhouse guy. He's the leader of that locker room whether people want to admit that or not. He's doing everything he can to be a good representative of the Milwaukee Brewers and for the most part, people will see that. Those that live in glass houses, won't.
