  1. *OFer makes wild looking catch* “What an incredible defensive play.” -Everyone In reality it was a mix of a not perfect route (direct center hits are hard to be fair) and more importantly…totally misjudging where the wall is and almost missing the catch. Guessing Wiemer is still pretty inexperienced with the very wide warning tracks that trick a lot of guys at AmFam.
  2. Oakland was always consider a pile of crap anyway, so no, nothing probably changes in their case.
  3. I’d argue Ryan Braun was still a more feared hitter to face. Why? Because his entire elite prime, you couldn’t avoid him. Not only were you facing an MVP caliber player, but in the on deck circle was a huge power hitting MVP caliber player himself. You could avoid Fielder, but you had no choice and had to face Braun. Braun had 9 IBB in his career prior to 2012…15 in 2012 after Fielder was gone.
  4. They don't care, someone literally said they don't need pro sports to have an identity. Should be interesting to see how that goes for them. Why does anyone go to Oakland other than a sporting event?
  5. My guy, at least post in the correct thread.
  6. Well, hopefully he starts hitting...because he is setting a really low hurdle to clear.
  7. It has been half a decade since he was a really good pitcher. That is 33% of his career and probably twice as long as the average baseball career. I think he has been very far removed from actually being a useful arm in a rotation.
  8. Crowds don't matter. A third of MLB flirts with 20k a game...the A's failed to even crack 10k last year. No city without an MLB team right now is some obvious attendance monster. Any city is going to be questionable to actually show up to the stadium for a relocated team. The Las Vegas Aviators have been one of the best teams in attendance for years. So people will go watch baseball there.
  9. Until he is the Cardinals manager, seems like the perfect fit to be honest.
  10. He isn't going to go play in the minors, so a bit of a moot point.
  11. Bumgarner's plans for retirement now:
  12. Why would anyone want this turd on the Brewers? Below is the only connection to the Brewers I want out of this MLB Mount Rushmore D-Bag:
  13. They are refreshing from a baseball informational/statistical standpoint. They are much more well versed in the advanced metrics etc. However, I like the more simplistic banter from BA/Rock. It is just a little more enjoyable to listen to over and over again. I love statistics and advanced metrics as much as the next guy...but when I am watching the game, I don't really need an AP Statistics lesson. I am sure they will grow on me more as time goes on. BA/Rock have been doing it so long it is fun to hear about past Brewers/teams from them. They experienced it along with all of us over the years. They aren't just reading a script to talk about stuff, they were really there.
  14. -Yes -99% sure, Yes -10 screens on your home network and I believe 3 devices mobile. Please note those 10 devices are on a single home network you designate as such. The 3 mobile devices cannot be TV platform devices. So password sharing is not feasible as some of the other streaming services are. I mean....I am sure if there is a will, there is probably a way. Like connecting a laptop via HDMI cord. However, that may not be even possible, as some services have ways to detect and block screen sharing like that.
  15. I acknowledged this. I didn't say they should all be demoted. Wiemer is the only one worthy of a demotion, if Taylor was healthy. The difference is veteran's have proven track records of being good. A rookie has no track record. When Adames starts struggling you know he will eventually look good again. These rookies start's may have been a blip and one (or multiple) may be in for a very rough year. A lot of our season hinges on these guys being competent bats. Their defense/baserunning is great and all, but they are 33% of our lineup. Being really poor hitters isn't going to make that worth it. If you want an elite defender that can't hit (especially in the OF) there are dozens of guys in the minors worth nothing that can do that for you. Them all being absolutely horrendous lately is concerning, that is all.
  16. Hasn't been good so far, but going into the year it was definitely in the same realm as the Brewers. They don't have the elite talent at the front of the rotation, but even old Wainwright and Mikolas are a solid front end. Montgomery isn't as flashy as Peralta, but results wise I think he is close. Flaherty is a decent back-end guy if he can stay healthy. Their #5 spot is a total trainwreck though and their rotation is going to get very rough with any kind of injuries. I think I would much rather have their bullpen. Their rotation lacks the depth, but it also has some big question marks. Wainwright actually pitching to a high level is questionable with his age and Mikolas has been a bit inconsistent in his career. Things will eventually correct themselves. I think they still have a pretty solid team. They aren't a force in any facet...but they have enough pieces to win some games. We are acting all high and mighty now, but over the long run not having Woodruff is going to catch up to us. We also have kept winning and it has masked the fact the rookie hitters have quickly started circling the drain from their hot starts. Wiemer is absolutely terrible, Mitchell is striking out at an insane pace, and Turang has been no better. Turang's homer is his only XBH since like the fourth game, Mitchell hasn't seen an XBH since the 9th, and Wiemer has a single hit since the 8th. That is pretty concerning. Everyone has hot/cold streaks...but seeing it out of rookies isn't a great look.
  17. Going to be hard pressed for Frelick to get the call when he hasn't hit well at AAA.
  18. The Cardinals lost 8-7, largely thanks to Nick Ahmed roping this pitch for a 2-run double instead of striking out. The next batter then smoked a 3-run homer.
  19. Weren't our announcers hyping up Campusano as like the second best framer behind Contreras?
  20. Meh, two outs…worth a shot when you are just looking for one more run in a 6-3 game. It was actually really close. Needed a perfect throw, got it, but catcher couldn’t seal the deal.
  21. Yah, the Jets getting cold feet over this doesn't make sense. Rodgers has been on the fence for a few years now...him saying that, whether true or glorified, isn't shocking at all. Regardless of how his first year goes with the Jets, next offseason is going to be similar. I don't know why the Jets would think Rodgers would come to New York and be 100% sold on multiple seasons and Rodger's not contemplating retirement. Even if you don't think he will retire, there is no assurance he won't demand out of New York after a year.
  22. To be fair, I am pretty sure it was Clancy that wanted to give Hernan Perez tens of millions. After we dumped Perez he managed 27 PAs and hasn’t played since 2021. Wanting to extend middling guys is kind of his thing. Houser is nice…but the more expensive he gets, he becomes pretty worthless. I think his value is underrated, but I wouldn’t want to start commuting multiple years to him.
  23. Mitchell is going to be close behind him at this rate.
  24. Alright Winker, a hit here would be quite nice.
  25. It was a fun start to the year, but these rookies…yikes.
