    To answer your question: You can’t have anything white on your arm and/glove. At least not in a big enough fashion it could confuse and/or hide the baseball. while his glove wasn’t technically white, it was much too close to white.

    Tyler Black already has as many doubles as Jackson Chourio.

    Well, don’t kill the messenger. It’s highly possible an ejection from a pitcher hitting someone is an auto suspension. I can’t think of any of the top of my head, but it would not shock me if all of them end up suspended. I guess I don’t find much wrong with Murphy getting a suspension for his dugout acting like a bunch of babies over a HR celebration. I’m all for standing up for your guys and not being pushovers, but when it gets to slapping other players it has gotten a little out of hand.

    The Peralta suspension isn't shocking at all. That situation is basically what caused the rest to transpire. If you don't suspend Peralta you are basically saying you don't know if it was intentional or not...thus he should have never been ejected. He has to be suspended to make the ejection justified. Siri threw punches so he was going to get suspended and Uribe's doesn't need much explanation. Murphy getting suspended is somewhat odd, but guessing they want to punish him for his players being so unhinged creating a ruckus.

    I wasn't referring to them as the same crew...merely standing up for umpires as a whole.

    We traded off Burnes, Woodruff can't play, Chourio is getting his chance, Black is now getting his chance, and despite all that we ended April leading the division with 100+ win pace. Some up and downs, some unfortunate injuries...but hard to complain overall.
  7. MrTPlush
    Three problems: #1 Something tells me this umpire's history would not show a bunch of ejections without a warning. That alone would be pretty suspect. #2 Siri had absolutely NO reaction to being hit. He was going to just kindly take his base. Didn't look at a single Brewer. Why WHY on earth would any umpire feel it is necessary to eject the pitcher especially after no warnings? Honestly, it doesn't make any sense when it is almost an unwritten rule to give warnings. #3 Why doesn't the umpire acknowledge HE is the reason there were punches thrown and a brawl happened? None of that happens if the umpires don't eject Peralta and Murphy. The umpire basically upped the emotion. It was done and over with once they hit Siri....but no, the umps had to reignite everything.

    Actually, a common thing to do is appeal the suspension. Throw 2-3 innings over 2-3 days and then drop your appeal. Thus, your suspension falls on a bunch of days you would have never pitched anyway.

    I have no problem throwing a guy out without warnings…but hitting the guy intentionally in his thigh and to get ejected? Come on…that is like the most harmless place to do it. Hand/Head, send the guy to the showers, but that felt extreme. I don’t want to be a conspiracy guy, but it felt like the umpire wanted to stick it to us and stand up for us ripping on them multiple times this week.
  10. MrTPlush
    More deserving than Chourio coming into the season, but thus, extra year of control.
  11. MrTPlush
    If you suck so bad you swing and miss, the catcher can't even catch the ball, and then you manage to doink the catcher with your backswing so the runner can't even score on your sad attempt of an AB....time to go.

    The White Sox are Zack Greinke at the plate this year.
  13. MrTPlush
    Some players should avoid social media…Nixon is one of them. Smh

    I mean we could argue whether the slide was legal or not until the cows come home, it is kind of a judgement call. The only reason it was deemed legal is because Rhys Hoskins stayed on the base...but one of the main reasons for that is because he used the fielder as a backstop. I am guessing the umpires would have been well within their right to say Hoskins was intentionally trying to interfere with the infielder making the play with no real attempt to take 2nd base. The infielder stopping you to keep you on the base probably doesn't qualify it as a real attempt to take the base. Regardless, both are pretty douche moves. Defending the Hoskins occurrence and calling Judge out is being pretty bias as a Brewers fan/coach/player.
  15. MrTPlush
    Honestly, I would give him at least 200 ABs or so. If he still isn't improving and repping a .600 OPS....then yah, maybe a break is a good idea.
  16. MrTPlush
    If you watch the video, he does do it without the pad too. But thus, no one with any sliver of knowledge about baseball needs a detailed explanation of why it isn't a legal slide. He slides like that every time with the intention of interfering. Consistently cheating does not make it not cheating. Not that Brewers fans really have much room to talk after Rhys Hoskin's douche bag slide earlier in the year.
  17. MrTPlush
    Only a matter of time before we signed him and he ended up a total waste. Oh well.
  18. MrTPlush
    Our infatuation with those three guys made it pretty easy to dump Esteury Ruiz in the eyes of fans. No one seemed to care much and kind of assumed him as the worst of the bunch, he ironically may end up the best of them all. Not to say the trade was bad or anything...because Contreras would never have ended up here without trading him specifically. At this point there is no reason to trade anyone. Maybe Mitchell gets healthy or maybe someone ends up a late bloomer.
  19. MrTPlush
    The three outfielders were nice prospects....but hardly can't miss elite guys. I always thought Mitchell had the best ceiling and potential of the bunch. Frelick had a big hit tool, but his power was really suspect from the get-go. You basically hoped he would put up a nice AVG/OBP to go with his speed. And Wiemer....yah, he always seemed like an offensive red flag.
  20. MrTPlush
    Lets be honest, they picked up Cousins, but Cousins failed to do anything with the Vikings and it was very far from a bad situation. I don't think they are really sold on Cousins. I don't care how much money they gave him. They could definitely give up on Cousins in 2-3 years.

    I wonder how this will change high school recruiting in the long run. Blue Bloods and other elite teams have always been deep, but now (at least ones with money) are going to become absolute monsters in the transfer game. Will high school kids keep wanting to go to those schools when they are deep and have a ridiculous amount of transfer talent coming in yearly? I mean why not just go bully mid majors or even get big time minutes at a P5 school...then hit up the transfer portal for big money? I can't imagine these elite schools are offering massive money to all these prospects when they could just go grab a guy with proven production against college talent.
  22. MrTPlush
    It would take record money, that is his attitude. Good luck to him. He isn't any different than Adames, either you back up the brinks truck or they will chance themselves getting to FA. It doesn't really matter much though. I doubt the Brewers had any interest in an extension anyway. Even a 'team-friendly' one. They never approached the likes of Lucroy or Hader either. Why? Because they are terrible positions to give long-term deals to in their 30s. Even a team friendly one has a fantastic chance to be terrible. Even Contreras had said there has never been any attempt at talks in the past. If the Brewers didn't even approach the idea after last year, I doubt they were ever going to be keen on the idea.

    I am glad you appreciate my use of terms to reiterate the fact that at the end of the day my statements in a forum are opinions. I don’t know why you are trying to spin that in some kind of a negative way. I am sure he could get money on the open market. He probably just doesn’t want to bounce around school to school. Being as he really isn’t a NBA prospect it is probably wise to value stability from an education standpoint. A bit of a rarity these days as kids chase short term money. Hope they at least save it for a big retirement egg. Im not saying Crowl is doing anything wrong…I just seriously doubt he is staying because the way they distribute money to everyone ‘nicely’. I’m sure Crowl would happily take 50% of the entire teams NIL money without shedding a tear…who would? Wisconsin is a nice school and they run their athletics in a respectable way. People think they are some perfect school though like they don’t mislead recruits to get them to come in. That seems like pretty wishful thinking.
  24. MrTPlush
    Gard claimed they tripled theirs, but NIL overall has 5x. I believe that was in reference prior to last year till now...but who knows. His 3x comment is probably an exaggeration and the 5x is probably him just pulling a number out of his butt that is bigger than 3x to say they are worse off than before. I doubt there is any knowledge or research for him to come to that conclusion. At least that is how I translate that.
  25. MrTPlush
    I wouldn't call evenly distributing NIL money operating with integrity. At least not in a sense that you are inferring the alternative is operating without integrity. And let's not kid ourselves. If a bunch of boosters came forward and offered $750k to bring back Hepburn, Gard would have been in a brinks truck to his dorm room. The Badgers don't have Storr and Hepburn back in fold because they can't afford them and still fill out their roster. Crowl is still in fold because he probably can't double/triple his salary leaving. If he could, he would have probably darted too. I doubt he is staying because the NIL distribution is 'fair'.
