  1. Ueck says a walk then a 2-run homer then let's get outta here. Sounds good to me!
  2. "Princess of Ding Dong City" Good one!
  3. I haven't seen it anywhere but does anybody know if Travis had a boy or a girl?
  4. Good for Scooter. The Brewers said goodbye and the Reds gave him a chance. He's doing well and a bonus is that his great night beat the Cardinals.
  5. I'm glad for Gennett. And an added bonus is that they beat the Cards. Torres again with a bad outing and an error. Knebel had to come in because he couldn't get the job done.
  6. Good points. Feliz has been a bad signing.
  7. Travis Shaw was a ninth round selection by the Red Sox. He has always worked hard to get where he's at and has done very well this year. Stearns made the trade. The Red Sox fans and broadcasters wish he was still there. The overpaid Sandoval hasn't lived up to his contract. The Red Sox chose Sandoval over Shaw for their 2017 third baseman because of that contract. If they were to have released Sandoval they would have owed him around $90 million for the life of that contract. So they hoped he would get in shape and play well. I'm glad Travis has done well for the Crew and I'm sure CC and Stearns are happy with that trade because of Shaw and the others. When Thornburg finally makes his appearance for the Sox I wish him well too. But I still believe the Crew won that trade no matter what he does.
  8. The Brewers thought highly of Shaw. They knew his left handed power and versatility would play well at Miller Park. Stearns has said so himself on a radio podcast. http://www.csnne.com/boston-red-sox/milwaukee-brewers-gm-david-stearns-says-tyler-thornburg-healthy-when-traded-to-boston-red-sox?s_campaign=108stitches:newsletter In case you missed it upthread. Don't be so quick to assume anything you know nothing about.
  9. Congrats to Travis. Phillips deserves a shot because he's done well in Colorado. If Braun can't stay on the field then he's needed.
  10. This Sun article of today's game reports that the Brewers lead mlb in losses by the bullpen. 16! I knew it was bad but to read it like that really sucks. It's at the end. http://www.milwaukeesun.com/news/253467115/brewers-blank-dodgers-to-avoid-sweep
  11. Here's a very recent article from the New York Times of all people regarding the trade. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/sports/baseball/for-brewers-travis-shaw-trade-was-a-blessing.html?_r=0
  12. Another great pitching performance from the starter and this time the bullpen held the lead. Shutting out the mighty Dodgers feels good.
  13. Outstanding pitching today. A shut out of the Dodgers after all the drama of this series is a very good thing.
  14. I thought I heard the Crew Fox announcer say that about a tie going to the runner. Maybe I misheard.
  15. I won't say anything next inning today. Yesterday I said something and I think I jinxed it.
  16. That should have been a two run homer. Travis was safe. It was a tie and in that case the runner is safe. But NY didn't see it that way.
  17. Here we go again. To the bullpen we go. Hope for the best!
  18. Don't get me wrong, that was a terrible play, but it was still followed by walk, single, walk, homerun. We lost because of terrible pitching. You're missing the point. Aguilar's boneheaded play took an out off the board and put undue stress on your third string closer against a premier team. If there's two outs and a runner on second, up by 3, then Torres isn't under the gun and the Dodgers aren't energized. I was there. The game changed on that play. All that followed was totally predictable. Maybe a premier closer rises to the occasion but expecting Torres to is a reach. You were there to witness this mess! I can imagine how let down all of you felt when leaving Miller Park. You're right. That error really changed the momentum.
  19. 2 earned runs + Aguilar's unearned run = blown save. I don't think you can overlook Aguilar's role in all of this - if he just steps on first there's 2 outs and the tying run doesn't come up and everything is probably fine. That's not my quote.
