Ahh yes, a few inches that maybe covers the grass and has no bearing on anything else.

And who is going to develop that? Who wants to develop in an area that is dead 50% of the year? There is some residential around it, sure, but it isn’t very wealthy. I wouldn’t call it ghetto…but it isn’t super affluent either that is going to grasp some fancy/trendy district either. I can’t see the Brewers investing hundreds of millions into a project that is dead half the year.

Sounds like the county just wants to open the door to make it feasible from a zoning standpoint....I don't see anywhere where someone was running to put money up to help build it. Which is....kind of necessary. The problem with this theory is the fact the location sucks. AmFam is the entire areas personality. It would make more sense if the casino and something like the HD museum were right next to AmFam. It would need other year-round attractions around it. I don't mind where the stadium is, but good luck finding a billion-dollar stadium district feasible. I am sure there are endless better locations to invest that kind of money location wise. As far as Mnafred's comments, he is saying them purely because he knows there is a stadium situation with the lease agreement. All he is doing is vouching for the Brewers and trying to put some pressure on the district/state. Just basic negotiation type garbage. They aren't going to get a dollar if they just shrug their shoulder and say, "I don't know, just send us what you want."

#1 The logistics is irrelevant. It will hold what it can hold. People aren’t going to travel there if they don’t have accommodations. It is what it is. #2 The weather is already being blown out of proportion. Even this far north in Wisconsin, April snow isn’t that crazy…and in the waning days before May? Yah…very very unlikely. If it did happen, it would be a cute storyline with zero travel impact. Now will it be warm, well, not really.

Any mention of the current agreements language on keeping the park up to date or that there are things that do or will need to be fixed in the near future. 🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯 Write a political article on a site that tells members to not talk about politics that is really just a rant that provides absolutely zero data on anything being talked about. ✅

Riding the hot hand is just poor strategy. You are trying to bank on short term past results and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. You are always one step behind and going to chase a carrot you will never catch. When do you consider a guy the hot hand? 2 games? 3 games? Then when you move them up, when do you decide they aren’t hot anymore? 2 games? 3 games? You will probably miss out on a few hot games and then keep them around a few bad games to match. The offense is pretty pathetic, but it’s just grasping at straws. It’s going to make one feel good, but rearranging deck chairs is a short-lived feel good moment.

Anyone that believes speed enforcement doesn't work to reduce speeds etc. just needs to drive I90 from the Chicago area to the border. The speeds and reckless driving dramatically reduce at the border (or dramatically increase if you are going south). One state actually polices the roads and the other leaves it to be the autobahn.

I fear we will fall out of contention sooner than later
MrTPlush replied to edfunderburk's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
As much as we poop on the Brewers, it isn't like they are leading the division and that is the only reason they would be in the postseason otherwise. We would be the #2 WC right now just behind the D Backs. The Twins, on the other hand, wouldn't be in a WC spot if they weren't the divisional leader. The NL Central features 3 positive run differential teams and nearly a 4th with the Brewers. The west features two teams and the Braves are the only team in the east with a positive run differential. The NL is just that terrible so far...it is the Braves/Dodgers and then a bunch of .500 type teams. Now, that will likely change. A few teams will probably put things together....but for now, we are kind of playing as 'blah' as the rest of the league. -

It’s hard to care much about this team these days. FO tosses out a lineup this year full of rookies with questionable bats and prayers like Winker. We now watch that lineup be a joke night after night. We spend a large part of the off-season listening to Burnes complain about how ripped off he is, just to be statistically worse in every facet of the game. We listened to Adames compare himself to the greatest SSs in the game and how much he should make someday, to once again be a bum struggling to find an OBP over .300. All that talk and Adames looks like a guy trying to get non-tendered at the end of the year. -
Thankfully Kolton Wong has been useless too. Specifically, Wong has a -1.2 WAR….which is kind of impossible to even wrap your head around.
-
A lot of people will point out his OBP, which is good and all…but there is a reason the scoreboard shows OPS. His slugging is a horrid .270 and causes his OPS to be just .625. Sure, he gets on base, but it is going to take 2+ hits to get the dude in. Even a double is unlikely to get him in from first. That being said, there isn’t a better option. Rearrange deck chairs and put Turang up there…or whoever else. They all suck, that isn’t going to make much difference.

He was a third baseman and had the arm/athletic ability to be pretty decent over there. He had the power potential to stick there and overall...his tools were pretty good across the board. A left-handed hitter and at 3B....two things we hadn't had success developing for years. So it was pretty exciting. Problem was...none of his skills really excelled to elevate him to MLB quality. I think fans (and even prospect lists) can tend to overrate need-based or hard to get quality production positions. Chad McClanahan was another guy a lot of fans loved to hype up a bit back then. Prospects lists are littered with OFers, pitchers, and SSs these days. It gets kind of boring, so when there is an opportunity to put a 3B or C up high, people jump all over it.

Hernan Perez

Devin Williams being used by Counsell in the 8th. Some members of the forum are self destructing and seeing pigs fly.
-
He is eligible on the 11th…but he won’t be ready till late June…hopefully.
-
There goes Miley for a few months.
-
What?! I just sat down with my popcorn! Come on man!
-
What the hell is the little timer on the field too? Comically hard to even see.
-
Wade Miley is made of glass. Lol
-
Or Tyrone Taylor sucking. Joey Wiemer has zero business being on a MLB roster, but neither does anyone else. Your only option is to promote Keston Hiura to play LF (his main position in AAA). However the ungodly defensive drop off by putting him there and moving Yelich to RF would be miserable. The front office decided to roll the dice on a bunch dumpster dives and rookies. We are stuck with it. Either they turn into something or the ship sinks.
-
Cheap front office saving all that money for…nothing.
-
He may be our ace next year.
-
Mid-May and already cycling through trash. Nice job FO.
-
Except one we already have the rights to and the other is sitting on a team currently in a postseason spot. Yeah, that probably doesn't last till July...but who knows. They might also expect a return more than reasonable just because McCutchen is a fan favorite and a bag of balls isn't worth trading him away. Might as well keep him to appease fans versus some worthless return.

It would be interesting from a Lebron standpoint if they won. With all the Jordan/James comparisons, of their 10 combined rings, neither has ever won it with a weaker team. What I mean by that is neither has ever won it with a team that wasn't 1st in their division. Not sure either has ever won it without a #1 or #2 seed. If the Lakers won after being dead last in their own division, that would give him something pretty notable over Jordan in playoff terms.
