    I hope this team at least gets past the Round of 64 but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. Their D will keep them in a lot of games but the offense can be downright painful. When teams are doubling or collapsing with 3 on Happ, Trice/Davison/Pritzl/Ford/King have to be able to knock down wide open jumpers, it's just awful basketball when they're not. As much as I appreciate the greatness of Happ's career, I can't help but think the offense will stabilize and be a bit more consistent when they're able to get back to the swing O without running everything through him next year. Expecting Reuvers and King to take big jumps next season.

    This is essentially a press release from an MLB employee/propagandist about Rob Manfred's unilateral decision without player consent being a good thing.

    fixed that for you

    The pitch clock and the pitcher's batter limit are "solutions" for speeding up games that dance around the only real reason that games are so long: advertising. It also seems to me that these rules could possibly increase the risk of injury for the players.

    I have a lot of friends around the country who are fans of other teams, and their appreciation of the Brewers' ball and glove logo is pretty much unanimous. It's a fantastic logo, period. They should've never gotten rid of it in the first place.

    Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere, but 30 Clubs in 30 Days is with Brewers camp today, it airs at 6pm CT on MLB Network.

    A fan of the name on the front of the jerseys so you’ll lick the boots of the billionaires who have never put on a jersey. Sound logic. Revenues are going up, so players salaries should also go up. Pretty simple. I’ll support a player’s strike should they deem it necessary and I’ll be there to watch them play ball at the highest level when they return. The owners can piss up a rope for all I care.

    That is what I thought too. Except based on 2018 that would mean only one team is paying the lux tax. If that were the case I would have guess that he would have said something like "29 teams have room under the lux tax to add payroll." I singled out the most eggregious But yeah 28 teams are under. 20 are wayyyyyyy the hell under. Why arent fans mad? Because the majority of Americans seem to see themselves as just a couple of steps away from being a filthy rich billionaire like the ones that are hoarding MLB revenues. It's a really incredible boot-licking phenomenon.

    Well when the player's strike inevitably happens, I know who's side I'll be on, and it certainly won't be the billionaires sitting in their owner's box collecting record revenues. So you side with Albert Pujols being paid $26,000,000 in 2017 to put up -1.8 WAR Yes because free agency is the only way for the players to recoup the earnings that are withheld/stolen from them in their prime years. That 2017 salary is simply making up for his laughably low salaries during extraordinarily productive seasons. Using Pujols as an example: 2001 - $200,000 salary while putting up 6.6 bWAR, winning ROY, coming in 4th in MVP voting, making the AS team, and winning the Silver Slugger 2002 - $600,000 salary, 5.5 bWAR, 2nd in MVP voting 2003 - $900,000 salary, 8.7 bWAR, 2nd in MVP voting, All Star, Silver Slugger winner He then puts together 7 straight years with a WAR over 8, including a career high 9.7 WAR season in 2009 when he was making ~$14.5 million, still vastly underpaid. The way the system is set up robs players of their true worth when they are at their best, and free agency allows them to recoup that value later in their career after they've gotten past their arb years. The understanding was that ownership would be "overpaying" for free agents because they were extremely underpaying them in their years of team control/arbitration. Now baseball front offices have gotten "smarter" by not holding up their end of the bargain. So when this MLBPA strike eventually happens, I'll be rooting for the players, the guys who actually perform on the field for us for 162 games.

    I think Nola saw the writing on the wall with how terrible Free Agency has been the last 2 years and decided to take some guaranteed money even though it's way under value for him.
  17. brooks_quichenick
    lol, where's your BBREF page so we can roast your stats since Manny is so bad
  18. brooks_quichenick
    Pretty much my thoughts, and I think calling someone less of a fan because they think Machado’s talent on the team would be good is pretty stupid.

    You can leave your Brewer fandom badge at the door, take a long walk, and really think that one over. Seems to me that adding great players to the Brewers roster is something that Brewers fans should want so I don’t quite follow your post here.

    Something like what Turner Hall Ballroom had for a few of the road playoff games last year would be pretty awesome. TV broadcast on a big projector screen with WTMJ there syncing up Uecker's radio call to the video. It was a pretty fun environment watching with a few hundred other fans, add in the possibility of tailgating and I'd try to make it to one of these every time.

    The more I see of Sterling Brown the more I love his game. Fantastic bench option that can defend, knock down 3's, and create his own shot at the basket. Love seeing him on the floor with the starters recently, he plays very well off of Giannis and Bledsoe.
  22. brooks_quichenick
    His bat would've been a nice addition but I think with Ramos's defensive struggles I'd rather roll with the defense-first Pina/Kratz combo and try to add offense elsewhere (2B). Defense from the catching position is more important imo.
  23. brooks_quichenick
    trwi7 is extremely mad about a Brewers roster move, huh, must be a day ending in Y.

    Yes. It appears there were multiple posts removed. You should probably delete DHonks post as well in that case.
