  1. Been kind of playing the waiting game on buying tickets for B10 championship hoping prices might tick down a bit. Will probably not buy them if the Badgers lose today. Need to take care of business.
  2. I guess it comes down to what player the Brewers really think Thames is. I like Abreu because he probably is consistent but he’s definitely not young or controllable.
  3. Just not enough depth on this team. Lots of effort but just not good enough. Maybe as they get some experience that will change but some of these guys are just not good.
  4. If no one takes a shot at him in the rule 5 draft, isn't it more ammo for those that say he doesn't belong on a major league roster?
  5. I like our prospects but why would the Tigers want to give up Fulmer for anyone on this list? Not one of these guys is a high-end prospect. We like them in the Brewers organization and some of these guys have a real chance, but they are not blue-chippers by any means.
  6. Makes this next game against the #23 ranked UCLA team much more important. Need to figure out a way to get a win to add to that resume for March. Another loss and it'll take just that much more during B10 play to get in.
  7. A lot of pitchers have opted out of their deals early. If he gets more money up front, he could easily leave for one more big deal and then completely fall in the tank on that one. Easily? Just don't see Arrieta at the age of 34-35, pitching well enough to earn more than $20M per season after that. He would love to be guaranteed that money and more than likely love to have the Brewers pay him that while he stinks up the joint later in his career. Playing with fire.
  8. Soon to be seven when Josh Hader lights it up next season.
  9. If Nick Ramirez goes elsewhere and becomes a dominant reliever and hits dongs... someone's head should roll.
  10. There is going to be a season 3. I thought this season was better than the first as well. I will say though that the first two episodes of this season almost put me to sleep. Got so much better after that. It will be interesting as to where they go from here with this story.
  11. Why is Arrieta going to decline his contract after two seasons? He most likely will suck in 2 seasons and will love to get paid $20M to go out ever five days like Garza did last season. Like Nancy Reagan says; "Just say no" to overpriced and declining pitchers.
  12. KeithStone I know we are not supposed to have so much sarcasm around here but your post killed me.
  13. At best? Nottingham is 22. He's 22 and improved last season at AA. Catching is a very difficult position and he's already making huge strides defensively. Not only that but his offensive numbers did improve.
  14. Pritzl has been a huge disappointment in these last two games. Wonder if he’s a mental midget. Keep hearing how great of a shooter he is but when we play anyone of any talent, he disappears. Van Vilet has been a no show as well. Doesn’t bode well.
  15. This is the case with basically every free agent, ever. Yes, Arrieta presents slightly more risk as a pitcher and as one with declining velocity...but who are we saving the money for? If not Arrieta this year, we'll be thinking about signing some other 3.75 FIP/ERA guy for $100 million next year, pushing the contract burden a year further down the road. I've said it in other posts but I am good with going with our youth and trying to find cheap guys on 1-year deals to fill out the rotation. The only way I want the Brewers to be spending money on a starting pitcher if it is that true ace type of pitcher. Arrieta doesn't seem to be that guy anymore and I really wonder how much of that great year that he had wasn't because of some things he was taking. I don't want the Brewers to be in the market for overpriced pitching. Just don't see a need for it. Plenty of other ways to build a roster.
  16. I just hate that this is even being discussed. I don't like him personally and I think he is a fall off candidate. We'll be stuck exactly where Brewers free agent signings always are. Underperforming their contract.
  17. Flacco may be a Super Bowl winning QB, but he still sucks and is by no means the reason today ended in a loss. I know he's been the beneficiary of some good defenses, but I'd love to see the Packers start a Joe Flacco-caliber QB next week. If this Packers team had Flacco as a QB, they are probably an 8-8 team. He's not good. He doesn't elevate anyone.
  18. Flacco may be a Super Bowl winning QB, but he still sucks and is by no means the reason today ended in a loss.
  19. I keep waiting to see something from Hundley that makes me think he's worth it. That throw to Adams for the touchdown was nice a week ago but other than that, I'm just not buying that this guy is an NFL starter.
  20. Please don’t overlook Minny at home. Beat the crap out of them like we know you can.
  21. Still a terrible free throw team. Man, it’s gotten old.
  22. Badgers a 3.5 point favorite over #15 Xavier tonight. Should be a fun one to watch.
  23. This is usually what I do.
  24. August: .221/.274/.382/.656 Sept./Oct: .257/.325/.286/.611 This is just flat out not getting it done. If Luc was out there for a 1year deal, even at $12M, he’s well worth the opportunity that he returns back closer to his all star form.
  25. If you’re signing Lucroy, he’s your starter. Pina was a nice story but caught 100 games and really fell off last season. He really could be your #2 and a very good one at that. Also, spending $12m on a catcher wouldn’t stop you from spending $20m on the pen.
