    Mitchell is wearing me out. I'm not as excited about him as some are, and his injuries are more frustrating than anything. I'll take Wiemer, because there's at least a chance of helping the team when one is in the lineup instead of the trainer's room.

    And I’m not sure we ever heard much beyond her initial account.

    I was at the game, and I was just focused on how many times Chourio grabbed his elbow after the catch. You can seen him do a quick grab in the video at :20 in, but he was rubbing it during the inning. I had just read about his daily elbow treatments before the game. I don't even know if it is the same elbow. On another note, what a fun game. 80 degrees, Brewers win, Ross had a shaky inning but pitched out of it and otherwise looked great. Miley looked like Miley, and after seeing them hardly hit on Thursday, it was nice to see them knocking it around a bit. Sanchez' homer was a bomb. Saw four games in four days. Four different parks. What a great trip. Can't wait for the season to start.

    Going to Brewers-Cubs at Sloan Park today. Been a great week.

    Gasser got hit pretty hard last night. Still a fun game. Came back from 7-0, ended up 7-6 with Ortiz batting as the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.

    In Phoenix. My friend arrives this afternoon, so we are going to Surprise to see Angels-Royals at 6. It's the only night game. Then tomorrow Cubs-Rockies at 1, Brewers-Giants at 6. Friday we haven't decided, then ending it with Brewers-Cubs on Saturday. Can't wait! Regarding Friday's TBD, I want to go to a park I haven't seen, so the park choices are Angels, Giants, A's, Mariners. Any advice?

    I'm don't think that any of these injuries, outside of Devin W, are a surprise. Woodruff was never counted on, Ashby missed all of last season and has been coming along, and Miley is who he is at this point in his career. These aren't sudden setbacks the organization never saw coming. I think the Brewers will need more pitching, I'm not sure it's because of what has taken place with these three.

    As the winter has come down to the last few weeks, do you think that the Phillies have any regrets on signing Nola for 7/172, considering how the market has gone? It is by far the biggest combination of years and dollars this side of Chavez Ravine.

    Is RBI an initialism or an acronym? Depends on if you say R-B-I or ribbie, I guess. And, can we move on to getting people to say times-out next?
  10. Underachiever
    Remember, the designated hitter is supposed to be an additional bat in the lineup that would bat instead of a pitcher. I would take Sanchez over a pitcher. If "hit better than a pitcher" is where you start the bar for a DH, that is too low by far. Come on.

    Encouraging someone to jump also gets them off of the ledge, right? I mean, the Brewers sent Woodruff to the IL and said "Hey, we're just being cautious..." Wasn't until four months later that we got him back.

    Talk me off the ledge. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/brewers-devin-williams-set-to-see-spine-specialist/amp/

    I can already hear the sound of Cardinal pitcher chin music if a Brewer dares untuck a jersey or glance in the general direction of a home run.
  15. Underachiever
    I want Montgomery more because Cardinal fans want him back, and it would hurt their feelings and give me some fun reading at Gateway Redbirds for a few days.
  16. Underachiever
    You're right. My apologies to Keith Stone and the board.
  17. Underachiever
    I completely missed that the Cards signed Brandon Crawford. I think with Lance Lynn on the mound, and an infield of Goldschmidt, Matt Carpenter, Brandon Crawford and Arenado, they are real threat to win the 2019 World Series.
  18. Underachiever
    I hear the sad trombone after pretty much every one of your posts.
  19. Underachiever
    Here is my paranoid take. This makes the Cards go get Snell. Or Montgomery
  20. Underachiever
    True. Nor is it a Wendy's.
  21. Underachiever
    Of course I didn't see the game, but at least he wasn't wild. Silver lining? In fact, he gave up two doubles and a single to four hitters on only 8 pitches, so he was in the strike zone. Look at his pitch location. Belt high, middle of the plate on all three of the hits he gave up. Even Mike McCarthy thinks he'll get that cleaned up.

    I completely get it. I, too, root for lifelong Brewers. I have way more affection for Gantner than a lot of people on here, because he was truly one of us. I drove from LA to Anaheim just to see Gorman Thomas play when the Brewers brought him back in 1986. When Molitor signed with the Jays, it hurt me way more than an adult should react, ask my wife. But when I saw that the offers from Toronto and the Brewers weren't even close, I felt better. But, the Brewers offered Yelich 7/$188 million as an extension in the offseason after he broke his knee cap. I think he did what was best for him. It's not a red herring. As it turned out, he was not good for the next two years. He would have become a FA after 2021, right? In my opinion, CY would have been on the Bellinger plan, without Bellinger's resurgent 2023 to boost his value.
  23. Underachiever
    Oh crap, I don't need to know anything that badly. I thought there was a trolling attempt with Counsell/Cubs that it was referring to.
  24. Underachiever
    I don't know what this is referring to.
  25. Underachiever
    They did? Yelich took an extension before he hit free agency, right? From whom or how could he have gotten more money at the time he signed his contract? Didn't Braun extend before he hit free agency as well? As we've been discussing in another thread about Bellinger, those two took the guaranteed money before their free agency years, so it's just not the same, in my mind. And, if I remember, Yount got a bunch of loans from the Brewers because it was rumored he had really messed up some business deals. I just checked on Baseball Reference, and his salary for those years was listed as "6/5.55 million, including various subsidized loans." I wonder if a deal like that is even allowed anymore. Plus, the Brewers made him the highest paid player in MLB in 1990. So, I just think you are a little rose-tinted in your rear-view mirror.
