Oh, Dario: “this is exactly where the Brewers want to be. Top of the order, down three.” Maybe just one of those two things, Dario. -
Yes, that’s been an issue I’ve had lately with DirecTV (and same for at least a couple others I’ve asked), but it appears to only be with Bally Sports (669). I moved to the game on the mlb extra innings channel (741). Hasn’t glitched once.
-
How did I miss the fact that the Rockies are 6-28 on the road?
-
My signal on DTV 669 has been crap the last two games. Freezing, pixelating. Anyone else? Definitely not happening on other channels

Brewer fans in Arizona don’t have jobs. They can attend an afternoon game. Source: Lee Elia.

Wow, “Blister in the Sun” is awful on the organ.

Trice's "we are not here to build your resume" comment made me think of this: There is a fundamental disconnect for me with players who want to play at the next level, and what coaches need from them at the college level. If a player gets evaluated, and is told he needs to show he can hit a three-point shot for the NBA to be interested, but the coach needs him down on the block playing the 5, who gets what they want? The coach is supposed to win games, and he will put the players in the position he needs to do that. Nigel Hayes changed his shot, presumably based on feedback, and it messed him up in the next season. Tim Tebow had a funky throwing motion that Urban Meyer's staff had no interest in fixing, because it wasn't what was needed to win games at Florida. Tebow could keep running the ball and throwing jump passes to keep the offense moving. Kevin Stemke won the Ray Guy award for punting, but he was a half-second slow for the NFL. Should the Badger staff have worked with him to speed it up? It may have affected his results as a Badger. I would have liked to see Potter prove he could consistently defend a pick and roll, or Reuvers grab a rebound, or Davison improve on his 27% 2-point shot average.

Pitchers using foreign substances
Underachiever replied to jonescm128's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That was fun. Scherzer staring down Girardi, Girardi takes the bait and gets tossed. Must-see tv. -
Is there a rule on how long those oven mitts they use for sliding can be? I would get one about two feet long.
-
Wander Franco just tied the game with a 3-run homer. Rays do such a good job of finding and developing talent. Fun group to watch.

2021 ECF. Bucks vs Hawks: UPDATE - - - BUCKS IN SIX
Underachiever replied to DuWayne Steurer's topic in Other Sports
Bucks are the only team of the four left with an NBA title. That experience from 1971 tips the scales in their favor. Bobby Dandridge! -
I know I am probably going to be "OPS+" and "xFIPped" and "Well, Actuallied" to death, but this division is there for the taking. With an average offense the Brewers would have a 5-game lead right now. The pitching has been that good.
-
If he hasn't had a meaningful number of plate appearances, then his wRC+ is just noise, isn't it? Or if he has a good wRC+, would you suggest he should be in the lineup as often as would be appropriate for the fifth-best batter on the team? His wRC+ is 83 this season.

Live from Am Fam, it’s me, watching another scoreboard full of zeros.
-
I don’t believe in jinxes, but the Brewers are 0-3 with two shutouts and a Travis Shaw solo homer in the run column when I attend. I will be there tonight! And when I bought my tickets, Fastball Freddy was the projected starter. Seeing Anderson kind of bums me out. A Vogel-bomb will cheer me up.
-
I would imagine that the vast majority of MLB teams are in a similar, if not worse boat when it comes to their 4th and 5th starter spots. Much more so if you change that to 5th and 6th starters.
-
Brewers keep it rolling by getting into the Reds' bullpen. Lauer keeps Winker in check.
-
Okay, big strike zone.
-
Imagine how nervous you all would be if the team wasn’t on a 13-2 run?
-
Yeah I know they have a horrific bullpen but that series worries me too. Which team on the schedule would you not be worried about?
-
Dare I say, “Pour it on!”
-
Blake Stein retired from pitching back in 2002. At 6'7", he'd be a big Beer Stein I'm still upset the Brewers didn't move heaven and earth to get Nick Bierbrodt on the team back in the day. Start with a Stein, move to a Bierbrodt, and chase him with a Pint. Except they would probably be required to stop using them after the end of the 7th inning.
-
That Garcia at bat was big in getting Castillo out of there, I think.
-
Right, and to be clear, I have not called for Hiura to be cut, traded, or any of that (Full disclosure: In a weak moment, I MAY have told him to go away once in a game thread, can't remember). Sending him down to fix whatever is broken is what I wanted. I just don't know how the progress of other teams' draft choices matters for what we are seeing from Hiura. It's okay to be a phenom.
