Brewers claim OF Daniel Fields from Detroit
Pugger replied to jerichoholicninja's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
At this point it doesn't hurt to take a look. What do we have to lose? -
According to Gameday, some of those calls were pretty bad and I think the zone got bigger after Jennings got thrown out. We watched the replay on the Marlin's channel down here and some of those called balls looked like strikes to us.
-
If I'm gonna watch them play I'd rather watch decent baseball instead of the garbage we saw earlier in the season.
-
CC hasn't been very good this year either. We have friends who are ardent Yankee fans and they have no use for him now.
-
Send this brat packing and eat the rest of that contract. Having a guy like that around all your younger players can be cancerous. Like rickh150 said, my respect towards Lohse has risen considerably. He has shown since he got to Milwaukee to be a real leader and good teammate even if his pitching skills are no longer what they once were.
-
How in the hell can Garza be furious? He had to know his starting spot was tenuous at best after what happened to Lohse. "Hey Matt, you wouldn't be in this predicament had you pitched better when you had the chance!" He gets no sympathy from me.
-
Yes, these wins might affect our draft order but I'd rather watch this than what we endured earlier in the season. I watch baseball for entertainment and it wasn't entertaining for most of this season.
-
Seriously. How many times did Bourgeois spin around on Lind's double? Was he playing baseball or doing a solo waltz? Disclaimer: I have no idea if doing the waltz requires spinning. Yes it does, but not like that.

Pirate postgame: "Brewers rebuilding at hyper speed"
Pugger replied to JohnBriggs12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
What do we do with Santana? Send him back to AAA in 2016? -
Is TMJ broadcasting the Brewer game or the Packer preseason game tonight?
-
Love it. Yankees can take their payroll and stick it where the sun don't shine. It's your fault you're down 9-0. This is why Gomez has gotten better - he refuses to allow himself to be mediocre under any circumstances. Bravo!
-
Braun never struck me as that type either.
-
He is one big kid.

uecker reveals his attitude toward braun?
Pugger replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Same. I didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary with Bob's call. Within the context of the franchise, it is a big deal, because nobody has ever hit 252 before. That's a nod to the fact that we are a small market team, and usually when we have a true superstar that could hit 200 + home runs, we lose them to one of the big boys. Yount happened to play in a different era where players still stayed with one franchise. Within the bigger scheme of things, the history of the game, 252 isn't that big of a deal. But Braun is 31, and clearly his power hasn't diminished one iota. The thumb might affect how consistently he can turn on some balls, but when he makes clean contact, he hits the ball a really, really long way. Think about it. As bad as this team is, and even with the thumb issues, Braun is on a pace to hit about 30 home runs, drive in 100 runs, and steal 25 bases. You can say what you want about the mistake he made. But Brauny goes out there every day and plays hard. Our offense might be really sad right now, but seeing him at bat, it's clear he's not going to slack off because we're out of contention. That's a true professional. Another thing that is remarkable is outside of maybe Lind Braun is the only real power hitter left on this club so for him to still be putting up numbers like this says a lot about him. I'm pretty confident he is clean right now too. I don't doubt now he gets tested a lot. -
There is more than one guy in our lineup these days that shouldn't be in the majors.
-
Unfortunately we never saw that person again so we aren't sure.
-
We were watching the Marlin telecast down here and we are certain we spotted Ron Wolf in the stands behind the Marlins' dugout! Did any of you see him there tonight?
-
Are you younger than the coaches?
-
We get all of the Marlin games down here in southwest FL and the fish are better than the Phillies even with all of their injuries and no Stanton. I love watching him hit. He is just a beast. They were singing Braun's praises like crazy saying he's having a nice year. Perhaps they like him so much because he is a U of Miami alum. The Marlin announcers just love coming to Milwaukee!! They show us all the fun tailgating things going on before the game, show Bernie up near his slide, Uecker's seat in the upper deck and the Selig Experience. They even showed the sausage race when we returned to the game after the break in the middle of the sixth. I guess the 3 guys calling the game each picked a winner for the race but the Hot Dog won instead.

Doug Melvin steps down as GM; moves into advisory role
Pugger replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I hope we look outside the organization for the next GM. It wouldn't hurt to get new blood in there from a team with a winning tradition. -
Thank god. I know some want us to tank but watching Lohse serve up batting practice in games was brutal to watch.
-
I think we have something pretty nice in Nelson here.
-
If we don't keep Luc who in the minors would take his place (Maldy is a nice defensive catcher but not one I'd want to be the regular starter)?
-
He may have a no trade clause but after a month more of this losing every day Braun might rethink that. It can't be any fun to go to the ball park every day knowing you're most likely gonna lose. Again.
-
It will be a bloody miracle if we win more than a dozen games the rest of the way out. I feel bad for they guys, I truly do. It can't be easy to play every day and lose like this. I know they are being paid handsomely but this must be torturous day in and day out. By the end of this homestand the attendance at Miller Park is going to look like the 'crowds' you see at Marlins Park.
