  1. Cubs hang six on the Blue Jays in the first. Gausman walks four and gives up a grand slam. Ugly.
  2. In this ranking, the Brewers are third in MLB in Defensive challenges (+2.9), but their hitters are 25th (-0.8).
  3. The proposal to ban high school players is stunning. It sounds like MLB would like the colleges to take on the development costs of young talent. The article cited how colleges "have made college baseball an increasingly important pathway that is producing major league-ready talent at an accelerated rate." Is MLB jealous that the NFL has a ready-made minor league and they don't? There aren't enough college baseball programs to take on the additional players and give them playing time for their development. And if the UW is any indication, I don't see schools adding baseball anytime soon. MLB seems to be telling us that colleges, with their aluminum bats, limited seasons, and practice limits, will do a better job at refining talent than if the player makes baseball a full-time job in the various Rookie leagues, A ball, etc as they do now. I don't buy it. And the international 18-year-olds would be eligible for the international draft, so I guess they would still go through what's left of the minor league system? Because they aren't going to college.
  4. Come on, who else you gonna play there? Is Jake B gonna bring that one back? I would rank home run robbery far down the list of what makes a good outfielder.
  5. I think the player gets to decide if he gets surgery or not. Brewers can't force anyone to get cut on.
  6. i assumed that Hook always covered his mouth with his hand when he talks.
  7. Ho hum. Another 0 zero runs in 5+ by the starter (Runner on first pending). Just remarkable the way that the starters keep the Brewers in the games, even when the offense starts slowly.
  8. Rickie Weeks would have thought pitch 5 was center cut and swung at it.
  9. Yes, I watched the game. I don’t interpret Controneo saying he was not sharp. “Skated through 4” is not a negative. It implies ease. And the fact that an IGT has negative takes? Shocking. Love how you quoted yourself to help make your point. I repeat: not a runner past first base. Zero runs. 80 pitches. Phillies are no joke and he shut them down.
  10. Uribe pitching the 7th? What do you think 8 and 9 will be?
  11. Don’t let Miz skew the perception of other pitchers. Harrison’s line: 6 shutout, No walks, no runner past first, 3 hits and a Hbp, and he was “not looking great to start the game”?
  12. You just expect control issues with a guy who throws that hard. He’s merciless out there
  13. Get a life? Who the hell are you? She's a loyal brewer fan who commits a lot of money to following the team.
  14. Filed under Cool Story, Bro: My aunt started getting UW men's basketball tickets in 1947. She got better and better seats through renewal as the years went on. After 50 years of mostly crappy basketball, the move to the Kohl Center in 1998 got her booted to the third level, because she couldn't afford it. She was always so saddened by that.
  15. There have been a number of posts like this in the past few days. These are really good, disciplined hitters. You think one at bat, one game, one series is going to mess them up? All season long you see individual at bats where a guy swings out of his shoes. If you saw that last night, I don't think it indicates anything larger.
