With their odd deliveries, if Peralta and Hader could develop just merely ok changeups they'd be top notch starters. Get Hoffman in working with them in the offseason
-
I see what you're saying. If it's true IDK, someone else can read deeper. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're essentially saying this horrible handling fell within what his company protocol told him to do, even if that protocol was terrible and not compliant with CBA it was within the parameters of his instructions. I've thought not on this, but I don't know either way for sure but just common sense wise I can't believe that would be acceptable handling for a company to make it far enough to be handling for MLB but dumber stuff has certainly happened
-
that ball jostled in the mit a quarter inch, replay, call him safe.
-
He needs to be our three hitter next year. Now to find a cleanup hitter.... Speaking of George Kottaras.... What's Matt Stairs up to these days?
-
I will let you know what I think of after his 9th inning homer. [sarcasm]If he has a 2/20 stretch I'll call BS on it all and want him batting 8th.[/sarcasm]
-
Did I miss any bullpen callups today? was busy most of the afternoon. I don't see anything mentioned on this site
-
Albers for the 8th since we're tied and not ahead? JK. That said, they don't have many options left. Burnes I suppose
-
Turns out that blown call might've been a big deal huh
-
That couldn't not have been proper handling protocol. But yes, big pic he was guilty anyway so it doesn't matter. Braun did what he did. But the notion often stated that the handler did nothing wrong that's often pushed just doesn't seem right. Turns out his mixups gave Braun an out that he didn't truly deserve. Another thing I think I remember is that Braun's team recreated this handling and it altered the test results. Maybe that was BS pushed by Brewer fans, but my memory was pretty good on this other aspect, so idk. ETA: the recreation might have been done by an Olympic person who won an appeal and they used that as evidence. At least one of these two things happened, possibly both.
-
He should've came out after the HR and got tossed. I was shocked they were having a good hitter bunt to begin with.
-
ha, true. Didn't think of that. We just can't have nice things here
-
Isn't it weird how this has completely flipped since the first half of the year...
-
I think he just doesn't want to give up the whole farm to get pitching. There'd be nothing left if they traded Burnes, Peralta, and Hiura combined with thinking the 'top notch' guys weren't worth the price being asked (archer, Yu, Arrietta). and viewed the next tier as similar just ok guys like we already have. Turns out he might've judged midlevel guys like Gausman too low in that you could at least trust them more than our guys. But I think that what Homer said combined with that is the logic.
-
Tells you what they think of Woodruff. I know ... that doesn't make the decision any less curious, though. There must be something internal, because based on pure stuff, there aren't many pitchers in the system that have better than Woodruff. Who has also held his own when given the chance at the MLB level. I'm curious what's up too

Again, I'm not gonna say 100% since it's been years so if someone wants to do the digging feel free. But that's what I remember back at the time, the car was on Monday when he went to his normal job and then dropped it off at lunch or in the afternoon wherever he had to drop it off. ETA: am just sitting around so I googled. In the guys statement he said he kept in a rubbermaid container and put in his basement office, which he said since it was his basement it was cool enough. No refrigeration. His statement doesn't specify what time he dropped it off Monday. I'll edit if I see it 2nd Edit: Didn't drop off until 1:30 PM on Monday. Don't see an explanation on what he did prior to that on that day. My memory says he had a normal job and it sat in the trunk on a hot-ish day. I clicked on 4-5 articles and don't think I'm gonna look anymore. Also to note when reading this that I didn't recall, he collected at 5pm and didn't drop them off at Fedex even though Fedex was open until 9. That was mistake #1 to start the whole thing.

[sarcasm]He kills the Reds pitching[/sarcasm]
-
100% agree with Finn about the contact play
-
And a top 5 C. Solid 2B in Gordon. Other good hitters in Bour, Deitrich (assumig they didn't come back in the trades, idk for sure). Can't think of their SS. Yea, not sure they should've blown that all up. Whole different team down there if the Ace P wouldn't have passed away, instead it made them think they didn't have anymore money to get pitching and just gave up.
-
If I remember correctly he left the sample in his basement unrefrigerated for the weekend and then in the trunk of his car for a day on a hot day. That can't be standard accepted protocol.
-
Well said Thurston. The NFL is a joke of a policy and no one cares. Look at these guys and only like 5 people get caught a year it seems. They're willingly turning a blind eye to it all just like MLB used to do.
-
I've been saying that Aguilar hasn't been as good in the 2nd half, it generally gets shot down everytime I say it though. 222/319/385 since the break with only 5 dingers. For a 1b only, that is not good enough. Perez 308/357/508. All of Yelich, Cain, Braun, Perez, Shaw, Pina, and Yelich one more time for good measure...are posting very strong 2nd half numbers. Take away that initial 2/30 or whatever it was that so brutal for Jesus though and what does it look like? Honest question. Basically my eye/memory test is that he's been fine since that brutal run. Obviously not as good as before the break, but we all knew that wasn't sustainable. Not sure if I'm right though

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
tmwiese55 replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
While I agree with a zero tolerance policy in general. There's also a weird area teams have to navigate during the whole waiting period of criminal action. This guy has already been suspended 75 games and fined millions and that article implies no one knows any details. Note, I did not google or dig deeper into further details. Think about it a bit from legal innocent til proven guilty and employee/employer avenues and this waiting period is odd. If you just perpetually suspend and fine and then it comes out this is all greatly exaggerated, falsified, etc, you will have given a massively severe punishment outweighing the crime and possibly could face a lawsuit back from him. When there is clear evidence and/or criminal proceedings completed you can make such clearer decisions, but teams aren't afforded time to wait in the current media climate. In an innocent til proven guilty society is it right that an accusation can ban a person from working indefinitely? That's a slippery slope to play with. Note again, I didn't dig deeper to see if there is some hard evidence against him or not which would allow for quick judgment now. The article mentioned another player where a video surfaced of the act, that's an example where you know for sure. Ray Rice, pics of the victim, etc. But if you're just in a he said she said situation and you've already suspended this long with a bunch of money fined then it seems like you kind of have to let him play until you learn more while leaving the door open for further punishment/cutting. -
Count me in on this as well. Though I'll be surprised if he gets to MKE
-
Right, what more can be done? Peeing mid game, drawing blood mid game, people following these guys around all offseason. Daily tests, etc. That all just seems so much and kind of a privacy or invasion (can't think of right wording) of personal space all for something that really isn't that big of a problem anymore. You've put in the strictest testing in sports history already, keep adjusting as technology changes but this all seems to be a miniscule problem now and more about "gotcha" moments than anything else at this point.
-
Yes but it's still the best testing there is, everything he says applies to every other sport and their procedures are way less than MLB. And like I say in my last paragraph, it's forcing them to do this small stuff instead of the real deal stuff of the past. That is success right there. It's impossible to catch everything but massively reducing was possible and they've seeming or very likely done that.
