    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.

    More deserving than Chourio coming into the season, but thus, extra year of control.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  9. 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.
  10. MrTPlush
    Only a matter of time before we signed him and he ended up a total waste. Oh well.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. MrTPlush
    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.
  15. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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'.
  19. MrTPlush
    I don't know if that is the case. These players want what they want. Either Crowl and Co. are happy with what they are personally getting or they aren't. Is Hepburn getting $750k going to make Crowl demand the same or he is leaving? I doubt that...if that was the case he would already have one foot out the door as is. If Crowl doesn't want to leave to get $750k that is his own problem then. It is a free market now with free agency. If you don't want to move schools, have fun with a team friendly NIL figure then.
  20. MrTPlush
    I get that it is 5-1 and all....but yikes.
  21. MrTPlush
    What does past supposed cheating have to do with anything? You just sound bitter the Badgers keep crying poor and looking for the next 'poor me' excuse. Badgers like to hype up their NIL money and how it has tripled year over year, yet here we are....Chucky Hepburn of all people is leaving and found it to be a waste of time to even ask the Badgers if they want to match an offer.
  22. MrTPlush
    Yah, I thought the intentional ‘extreme’ to that was obvious. It doesn’t change the fact there are plenty of ways to go to a Brewers game dirt cheap…just as cheap as it really ever has been. Weekdays, weekends, holidays…there are 81 games. There are probably 5x as many games that work with your schedule and budget than you would go to anyway. It’s a different way to sell tickets, sure, but is what it is. People will adjust and a few will throw up their hands and refuse to go. Just like when paper tickets went away etc.
  23. MrTPlush
    The reaction to the $5 deal was exactly as you’d expect, just a big complaint fest. They also whined about the free Kwik Trip ticket dates. People just ain’t happy no matter what they do. Pretty much have to run a $5 ticket deal for diamond platinum seats on a weekend game. Might have to throw in free parking or they will say the ticket price doesn’t matter if parking it $30+.
  24. MrTPlush
    He is producing like rookie Trout (or pre-rookie year Trout) if you really want to look at it optimistically. Haha Though his K% over 30% is a bit concerning. I’d like to see that get much closer to 25%. Using that pacing logic he is then in store for nearly 200 Ks and 8 doubles, not great attributes. That wasn’t really to insult Chourio, he simply isn’t lighting the world on fire.
  25. MrTPlush
    Jackson Chourio isn’t lighting the world on fire by any means, but Jackson Holliday….YIKES.
