    True Story, Bro.
  2. A Swing and A Drive
    I've never seen such concern for the Brewers winning a World Series before! In fact, it's been the exact OPPOSITE for over 50 years.

    Nice article from ESPN on explaining the crossroads Baseball is currently at and how the wounds are all self inflicted. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29313238/will-there-baseball-year-not-jeff-passan-breaks-mlb-ugly-labor-fight

    Absolutely. And if we come up just short we can all still enjoy the ride!

    If you think that the owners are willing to hold a 2020 season knowing that there are no profits to be had, you are surely kidding yourself.
  7. A Swing and A Drive
    If you think that the owners proposals aren’t all about maximizing profits in the face of a pandemic you are kidding yourself. I get that the owners are hoping the players help them absorb any 2020 loss of profits. How is this not the same as the players asking for a bigger share of the profits in a good year? As much as I don’t like him, Scott Boras is correct. Owners want to privatize their profits but socialize their losses. The owners simply need to absorb the 2020 financial hit (like practically EVERY other business in the country), and then next offseason, rail in the spending to offset the losses. This is when the players will feel the impact. Instead the owners want to do both.
  8. A Swing and A Drive
    It's almost like the owners have a very good idea what the actual revenue stream they will have to work with this year with no ticket/gate income and the real possibility of limited gameday revenues in future years, and the players dont. If this is true, I'm sure the Owners would have zero issue with opening their books to share with the Players so a deal could get done in short order. Oh wait...
  9. A Swing and A Drive
    So would it feel like a legit season at 81 games? 72 games? Won’t “feel right”? Where is your cutoff? The year 2020 will have many asterisks looking back but it will be nothing if not memorable. “Feeling Robbed of the Moment” is a good way to describe 2020 in general. Not getting to see your kid graduate or your parent die. Don’t rob us of baseball. Play Ball!

    MLB has given MLBPA until Sunday to accept their latest proposal. Ownership total payouts to players still haven’t really changed since their first offer. Offer #1 (82 games, sliding scale) ~$1.23B. Offer #2 (76 games, 75% prorated) ~ $1.43B- contingent on playoffs Offer #3 (72 games, 80% prorated) ~$1.43B.- contingent on playoffs Potentially: (50 games, 100% prorated) ~ $1.23B. The owners just keep repackaging the same stupid proposal, fully knowing it won't be accepted by the players! Conversely The players just came down $630 million in their last counter offer.

    If Warren can really stick at Catcher, this could end up being a great pick because this kid is a switch hitter who can get on base. Nice.

    Freddy Zamora= Defensive first SS with off the field issues
  13. A Swing and A Drive
    Not sure if this is good or bad, but for a current player comp, Mitchell reminds me of a left handed batting AJ Pollock. Could lead off and was a good value pick at where we got him. Solid player but with limited upside IMO.

    I think the Milky Way drive-in in Franklin is an awesome idea. However, $35 a car is too much for non-1st run movies. Also, their May selection of movies is beyond awful. https://www.milkywaydrivein.com/ Also, most of the kids movies they are showing are all available to stream on Disney plus. I agree that $35 a car is bad news for couples without kids to have to pay. Also, there's a Pick N Save across the street with a Red Box that currently has over half the movies on DVD that they plan on showing. Families with kids could simply rent those for $1.80 and watch them in the comfort of their own living room rather than pay $35 for the "Drive-In" experience where the kids currently can't even leave the car to run around. Here's the worst part of it all... Unlike traditional Drive-in's of the past, there will be no double features! There are emptying the parking lot between movies and you get just one movie for your $35. Terrible idea that will backfire on them IMO. They only left about 30 min between films to empty and re-fill the parking lots it seems. Huge mistake.

    The pandemic is having a much greater actual affect on American Citizens and their "morale" than a War fought on foreign soil. Additionally, more Americans have lost their lives in 3 months of the pandemic than in over 10 years of the Vietnam War. Not to mention that a World War is an actually boost to the economy rather than a pandemic that has brought the US economy to it's knees.

    Since there is basically zero chance that fans will be attending games this season, why delay giving people their money back? And MLB franchises most definitely HAVE the money to return, don't kid yourself.
  18. A Swing and A Drive
    I 100% agree with the post. Why is it that out of 328 million Americans, only 2.5 million have been tested so far? This is absurd. The federal Task Force needs to be focusing a plan to impliment tests on a massive scale in order to open the country back up safely. It's either that or wait for a vaccine and the earliest I've heard one would possibly be ready by would be September. My fear is that we will do neither and decide to trade human lives for economic stability.

    Any baseball this year would be tremendous. However, in this quarantined teams in ARZ proposal, I have a few questions... Would the hotel staff including the maids have to be quarantined at the hotel as well? Or would the players have to clean and maintain their own rooms all season? Maybe each player could just have a pup tent near their position on the field and stay in those for the season.

    The reality is that we may soon be taking about whether or not a 2021 MLB season will be played in it's entirety. The hope of a 2020 season happening at all will be fading before the end of April.
  21. A Swing and A Drive
    For the right price... yes. It may well be that the right price is that the most Colorado gets will be one or two lottery tickets from the DSL/Rookie League levels if they expect the Crew to pick up the entire contract. There's absolutely NO way the Brewers would be willing to take on Nolan Arenado's entire contract after the Yelich extension. The fact that the Brewers have been working on this Yelich extension since October 31st now explains why the Brewers have been so frugal while filling out their roster this offseason. Probably explains why they non-tendered so many players as well. And yes, the Yelich extension means that moving forward the Brewers simply won't be signing any marquee Starting Pitcher Free Agents to long term deals anytime soon. It just stresses that in order for the Brewers to stay contenders, they simply MUST develop SP from within the organization. Woodruff, Burnes, Peralta, Small, Ashby, Rasmussen, etc. Developing these SP are going to be the key to the Brewers longterm success IMO.
  22. A Swing and A Drive
    This really makes me think that the Brewers have a defined role for Peralta moving forward. Gotta speculate that it's as a core member of the rotation. https://www.kpvi.com/sports/freddy-peralta-makes-his-pitch-for-a-spot-in-brewers/article_7c0545cb-4071-5c6f-9341-926e06acd123.html Pretty cool to see Freddy Peralta work this offseason with former Brewer Carlos Villanueva. If he can also make strides to improve his command, I foresee him as comparable to the Cardinals Carlos Martinez, who had a breakout season during his age 23 season as well. This contract could turn out to be a real bargin for the Brewers.
  23. A Swing and A Drive
    So in other words, the Brewers are gambling that a 3B platoon of Brockstar/Jerkstore will be the key to their 2020 season. This is wonderful.

    The only thing Brett Anderson is a lock for is the Injured List.
