Terrible AB Pina....wow, awful.

Okay...here we go.

Hey thanks Blue!
-
If the catcher is receiving the ball and the runner isn’t on the TV screen.....idk...seems pretty bad.
-
Breezy day and the windmill is spinning.

I do not understand why on earth Ryan Braun is starting today. Santana started the season with three good games...and is on the bench two days in a row. I hope in retrospect I am wrong.

Former/Current Brewers with a shot at the HOF?
MrTPlush replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He played a really long time. That's a big reason he ranks so high. His peak and overall production(including defense) puts him severely behind HOF production. -
I am so happy I only have time to watch the first 30 minutes or so. Yikes...good thing they are solo shots.

Former/Current Brewers with a shot at the HOF?
MrTPlush replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think Ryan Braun retires after his contract is done...for that reason I don't think he gets the statistics necessary to seal the deal. That is totally ignoring the PED circus. Decline and limited playing time are going to slow him down. His average will fall under .300 and his OPS will dip below .900. He will also fall short of 400 HRs. Will have a touch over 2,000 hits and will fall short of 250 steals. Missing the feathers on the cap. -
Former/Current Brewers with a shot at the HOF?
MrTPlush replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Christian Yelich is currently entering his prime...never know there. Already has about 20 WAR at 25. Is there HOF for Brian Anderson? -
Not even a question. He is still Top 3 in our history and a good chunk of people still love him (hello female fans). I mean the Marlins retired Jose Fernandez’s number and he was into drugs and essentially kills people.
-
Is there any Brewer starter in history with consecutive sub 3.00 ERA seasons. Higuera and Sheets both never did it...
-
Yes, Braun said it was for the injury that nagged him all of 2011 and got bad in the second half. He claimed to only use the second half of 2011.
-
That's been my assumption as well. Once the sample case & Biogenesis story came out, I remembered reading that Braun had trained with A-Rod sometimes in the off-season while Braun was still at Miami. Made me suspicious, since I've long thought A-Rod's arrival & studliness in MLB two years removed from high school smelled fishy, or PED-y. He's a guy I also believe used throughout his career, maybe not nonstop, but I definitely think he wasn't just using around 2013. Biogenesis is also based in Miami where he played college ball and there was some connection to UofMiami baseball and Biogenesis. I don't remember the details of the later as to when specifically that connection happened. I can't remember if it was a former player at Miami who admitted to PED use happening at Miami or if someone actually had gotten caught too that went there. I am not going to assume he has always been using because that takes a lot of assuming and frankly it doesn't matter that much to me. Certainly reasons to believe it is possible.

I’m sure you mean 2015-2016. Still notably less production than 2011-2012. By then the hate for some grew so high outside Milwaukee any rebound they wouldnt know to care about or they will blame it on PEDs. Nagging injuries were his reasoning for taking the PEDs...so I’d say that is pretty relevant. Once again it looks pretty questionable to people when you blame nagging injuries for reasoning to use PEDs (to stay on the field and stay fresh) and then have your career turn into a body of glass.

For what Plush just said, don't forget he had his best statistical season in 2012 after the failed test when there's almost no way he was doing anything illegal. Moreover, what's he gonna do vacate the MVP and give it to Kemp who was probably doing the same things? Check out who fell off a cliff more and there's probably a reason Kemp stayed completely silent on the whole thing. I wasn’t trying to infer he could have cheated other years. I was just saying it certainly looks bad when you officially get caught and come back from the suspension a shell of your former self. That’s an assumption though and I don’t think it would have gone to anyone. Pretty sure they said it would just be vacated if he did give it up. If I recall Kemp was not fully quiet. I don’t remember if it was his words or through someone else, but he definitely thought Braun should give it up to him. Can’t remember if it was after the leak or after he actually got suspended.
-
As someone too young to have a really homer view on Bob....he is pretty bad. I try to listen to him on a rare occasion, but man it’s hard when you care about the important details.. If you just like listening to him, great. I don’t really care because I am rarely ever in a situation to turn the radio on to him. All I hear are his calls on big plays, which is great! Usually...haha. I assume he is still kicking to call a Brewers WS...but man his health and quality just keeping going down.
-
I don't agree with that at all. Lots of people would hold the PED thing against him regardless of how he handled it. Just the fact he did it. No doubt, the way he handled it made it much worse. But that is because of how big he was. Won the MVP the year he cheated(at least that as far as we know that was it). Doesn’t help he fell off a cliff production wise after getting suspended. I don’t think Braun cares that much or feels bad for what he did. If he did he would have vacated the MVP award. But the large ego is still there much like other athletes. That’s just the reality of it and that isn’t unique to Braun. He was probably regretful he got caught and it put a hole in his giant ego, not that he did something wrong. Is Braun a terrible person? No, but he is a mega ego athlete and that got him in big trouble. It sucks if that is the only time he cheated because obviously he didn’t need it to put up incredible numbers over his career. If that is the case what a great franchise story ruined. A career Brewer was ruined, ouch.
-
If people can hate Rickie Weeks for life because he didn't want to commit 50 errors in the outfield I think anyone has the right to hate Braun for an endless list of terrible things he did.
-
We are getting beat up 4-8. Time to have a live look-in on how much our history sucks looking at our two sad banners.
-
A switch hitter would be so used to seeing the ball from the opposite arm I am guessing splits for the pitcher might not be considered. The unusual look coming out of the hand probably would negate the gain a typical batter might get.
-
HP Umpire coming in clutch for the other team again.
-
How far does the new netting go? The original plan was to go to the end of the camera wells, but it almost looks like it is past that.
-
I will never understand that signing...and really never considering the time of the off season it happened.
-
I don't have a problem with it, but it seems kind of funny because, didn't it just start post 9-11 during a time of ultra patriotism and unity? Now it just seems like nobody wants to be that guy to do away with it, lol. If they'd just skip it, only like 4 people would even notice. I really just hate having to stand up again and show my horrible hat hair.
