    Its the NFL Network version.

    Ok, I called. Nothing. I called again. Nothing. Finally I mentioned cord cutting and sling tv and they sent me to customer retention. They gave me a bunch of discounts and Sunday ticket with a one year agreement. I now need an aspirin.
  3. Boomer5
    How can you get the Red Zone channel without Direct TV? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    They have played way better than I thought they would but this team is not a 2017 wildcard candidate especially in our division. The rotation would need to go nuclear and the defense would need some serious upgrades.

    So in this thread most wouldn't trade anything for Puig but in the we put in a waiver claim, it's a good idea?
  6. Boomer5
    Giving up Braun, even with his contract, is hardly a buy low on Puig. Everyone knew he was available and probably has been for years. This is not a guy the Brewers should have any interest unless it's one of those trades where we take on his contract in exchange for taking on a prospect. Yes Puig is younger and less expensive than Braun but technically so is Flores and Kirk N, so it's not exactly much of a statement. Honestly I'd rather have Kirk than Puig for this Brewer team.

    Jed made his MLB debut. 12 pitch inning. 9 strikes. 1 K. 1 Win.

    The last thing a rebuilding team is a head case that doesn't play smart baseball. Unless the trade was Braun for a whole lot of prospects and we are taking on Puigs contract only as salary relief for Brauns deal this is a no go for us. We have plenty of young controllable outfielders.

    Banda and Haniger are irrelevant to this discussion. Yes they were traded but they were traded for a very real asset in Parra who became Davies who is our best pitcher. On the other hand, Bradley was not developed by our staff and Stearns didnt recognize what he was and dumped him for pennies on the dollar. I guess we can brush it off to "stuff happens" but there is no way this can be spun as a plus for an organization that must be smarter than most of the league if they want to have sustained success.

    At the very least, had our coaches done exactly what ATL's coaches had done, he would have been a more valuable asset than the one Stearns dumped for pennies a few months ago. The timing is what makes this a clear case that we didn't know what we had in Bradley but a smarter front office did.
  11. Boomer5
    This is crazy. We can not afford to give away guys who have talent just because we can't develop them and have a front office that doesn't know what we have on the farm. This guy was a first round round pick with a lot of eyes on him so it wasn't like he slipped through the cracks.
  12. Boomer5
    This why RBI is not an irrelevant stat no matter how much the advance stat guys say otherwise. Being clutch is a thing.
  13. Boomer5
    I thought I heard he had 60 speed and 55 to 60 power on the radio. They were saying his workout was going well on offense but bad on defense. And anyone that saw him pass doesnt doubt he has a bad arm.
  14. Boomer5
    I don't see Brinson starting the year in the majors. He only has basically one month of AAA under his belt total. My guess is that Santana/Broxton/Braun will be opening day starters. Probably. They will mess around with the Super Two status of course, but Im talking about the bulk of the season. I dont see us trading Braun as it shouldn't be a salary dump and I think those are the only deals we will see. Broxton was being moved to RF in Pitt apparently prior to his trade, and Brinson is our best prospect and seems to be VERY ready.

    The problem with this part is, is he a .380 OBP guy going forward? His BABIP this year is .401. His career is .357. If his BABIP drops to .360, what's his average and OBP going to look like? It will still be decent but not the .300/380 he's putting up this year. Add in the less than ideal defense and you're just not getting a super valuable player. I'd like to see them shop him before other teams find that out and hope some team overpays for what he did this year. Im glad someone else brought up his BABIP. Combined with his 25%+ K rate and you have a guy, who while talented, is playing WAY over his head. Id still like to see him play everyday in 2017 as we dont have much to lose but Id expect a drop off.
  16. Boomer5
    Thats the issue. He is a very good but not great player and he has 4 years left on his contract. The team picking him up isnt thinking 4 years/$76M, they are thinking 2/$76M because the last two years arent likely to be special. The question is how bad does a team like the Dodgers need him for 2016?
  17. Boomer5
    Id go young across the board either with our guys at here and in AAA or waiver pick ups and see what we can do with them. We have traded all of our easy chips with Braun being the only guy in Milwaukee who might be interesting to other teams depending on their tolerance to his contract. If there is another bullpen gold rush like summer 2016, well then obviously that needs to be explored heavily. Villar should stay, probably at 3B and just work on his issues throughout the year. He isn't a SS, and Scooter is an adequate 2B and there isnt much point to trading Scooter in terms of what we would get back. Might as well let him play since he isn't blocking anyone. I would absolutely sign no MLB free agents unless they are Chris Carter bargain bins. I am expecting our OF to be Braun/Brinson/Broxton. Our IF to be Villar/Arcia/Scooter/Carter resign. Perez is our Zobrist. Our catcher doesnt matter, but some combination of Maldy/Pina/Susac Rotation: Davies/Nelson/Peralta/Garza/Junior/Hader/Anderson/Jungmann I am really not bullish on Junior as Im very suspicious of 31 year olds that all of a sudden find it, throw way harder than before, then get hurt. The bullpen will be rotated a bit and if the sellers market insanity of the 2016 trading season is still there, I expect most of our guys to be gone by 2017, at least I hope so.

    Thats what I'm hoping for..... fourth at worst.... If you are going to tank it, tank it big... Well they are only a game out from the pack at 56-75 and 2 to get to number 3 though they do have to crawl over (or under) 4 teams. Atl 48-83 Min 49-82 TB 55-75 Cin 55-75 SD 55-75 AZ 55-74
  19. Boomer5
    Its looking good for pick 3 but they will have to put it in gear to catch the Twins. I havent seen the bonus pool money yet for 2017 but I know there is a gigantic difference from 8 to 3.
  20. Boomer5
    Not if they are a great deal like a lot try to preach on here. I take this as proof we need to pick up money to get any good prospects back. Every team had a shot to at least attempt to add Braun by just taking his contract and no team did so. While things might and probably will be better on the Braun trade market this off season I highly doubt teams are suddenly going to pony up great prospects and take on the entire contract. Probably. His contract isn't horrible but it isn't a bargain either.
  21. Boomer5
    Always. That's why they always clear.
  22. Boomer5
    Contracts like that always clear unless they are Trout. This could be interesting. I'd put the odds low that he is moved in the few days but never count the Dodgers out.
  23. Boomer5
    I feel horrible for him. I hope we can require him at some point and get his life back on track. I fear he didn't handle the trade well, he loved it here.
  24. Boomer5
    I haven't gotten my usual 50% off call yet for Sunday Ticket. ATT really changed things.
  25. Boomer5
    Anyone had any success with getting NFL Sunday Ticket at a discount or free? I have been able to do that year after year but this year no luck. Im guessing due to the ATT buyout?
