    I'm glad the NFL overprotected QBs for 5 games last season and went right back to not giving a crap every time Rodgers gets brutally tackled.

    Eh, he's only been 24 for a little over a month. Gotta think the guaranteed money will have been paid out/earned well before he turns 30, assuming he doesn't Eddie Lacy himself out of the league.

    For the record, Eric Sogard is out slugging Aguilar in Tampa Bay by 160 points (.541 to .380) in just about the same number of games since each were traded there. For the season Sogard is slugging over 110 points better (.489 to .375). Eric Thames has the exact same OPS as Aguilar vs. LHP (.627) this season, albeit in less than half the at bats. No, I don't think trading Aguilar was anywhere close to dumbfounding. This new version of Jesus Aguilar is a pure singles hitter, completely dependent on batting average, in a big lumbering body that can only play 1st base. No thank you. To Aguilar's credit he's hitting .300 with a .379 OBP (including 1 double and 1 HR) with Tampa Bay through 18 games. Again though, his usefulness is dependent on whether he can keep that batting average up. His career stats don't suggest a .300 BA is sustainable. A singles hitter in and of itself isn't a bad thing but ideally that guy would also play solid defense at a premium position or two and have more speed than an average snail. You'd think he'd hit a few more doubles just by accident but he seems to be allergic to extra bases and has been all season long.

    Nope, new rule applies to this season, max of 28 players beginning September 1st. EDIT: I take it back, it does start in 2020. I thought I had looked this up last week and saw otherwise but I guess not. Expansion to a 40 man active roster stays in effect for 2019.

    Yes, it's really good. For whatever reason I never finished the series, I started watching season 4 but only watched 3 or 4 episodes and never went back. It was good though, more my fault for letting it slip out of my consciousness. I'm pretty lazy about keeping up with tv shows sometimes and it's not the show's fault. So many good characters though, Jack Rackham is my favorite.

    This is the most recent article I found after not looking too hard that details Kang's issues. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/pirates/2018/01/04/jung-ho-kang-visa-update-nexen-heroes-dominican-republic-winter-league-cut-kbo/stories/201801040083 By accounts of other Google searching, Kang gave up drinking after his third DUI. If this is true and he continues to hold to it that is a good thing. It doesn't excuse past DUI behavior but fortunately he didn't hurt anybody. For that reason he perhaps deserves some benefit of the doubt. It is still something I wouldn't feel comfortable just casually brushing aside in a "oh these things happen" manner. The alleged sexual assault is more murky and potentially more serious. Sounds like it is still an open case but the authorities have had trouble getting the alleged victim to cooperate. It's a Bill Cosby type situation, allegedly Kang invited her to his hotel room in Chicago, gave her a drink after which she drifted in and out of consciousness while Kang assaulted her. No charges were filed against Kang. All this totals up to me being somewhat ok with the guy getting a chance. I'm not thrilled about his past actions and I don't feel particularly motivated to defend him against people that want to be more critical of him. If he catches on as a Brewer I guess I'll deal with that when it happens but I can certainly understand those that don't want any part of him in the organization. It wouldn't break my heart if things don't work out between him and the club.

    I can sympathize, I was pretty much doing the same thing. Had Sling Blue, I was getting it at $15 per month because I signed up for their 3 month offer back in the spring. Then I had 1 minor billing issue around when the 3 month @ $15 promo was going to expire and they gave me another 3 months at $15. Then they lost Fox Sports Wisconsin and I cancelled. Like you, I didn't really watch every available Brewers game even so, maybe 2 or 3 a week. Though I did watch the Bucks during the playoffs, except when they were on ESPN because I didn't have the Orange package. Right now I'm just trying different services for their free trials. Can't go wrong with free! I tried DirecTV Now this past week (wouldn't recommend, though HBO is included), now YTTV for the next 2 weeks. I still haven't tried Hulu Live TV or PlayStation Vue yet. I expect I will become a paying subscriber again once Packers regular season games start since my el cheapo digital antenna doesn't pick up Fox 11 out of Green Bay (I'm in Oshkosh). I won't need to do that until Sept 15th.

    Just noticed today that YouTube TV is offering a 14 day free trial on their website right now for 1st time customers. That's a good deal as most streaming services only offer 7 day free trials (PlayStation Vue only offers 5 days). I'm not technically a 1st time YTTV customer but I just created a new gmail account and voila, I'm in.
  10. SeaBass
    Usually you can go on the streaming service's website and plug in your zip code to view the local channels that will be available to you. That should tell you if Fox Sports Wisconsin would be included with your subscription and which level of service you'd need to choose (for those services that offer tiered packages like PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now etc.).

    Just read an article on The Athletic today how Za'Darius Smith is mentoring Rashan Gary. Smith is quoted saying he sees a lot of himself in Gary, similar builds and play styles coming out of college, Smith notes how Gary's skills exceeded his own at that age. And Gary is pummelling Smith with questions about everything and just watching everything Smith is doing. Love hearing that, seems like Gary has the work ethic and desire for knowledge and Smith proactively wants to be there to help Gary any way he can. Worth a read if you have a subscription: ‘I’m like your big brother’: How Za’Darius Smith is taking Rashan Gary under his wing

    He's had seven at bats. Seven. Let's all get super irrational over it. Meanwhile, Hiura just recently suffered an 0 for 9 before hitting a double yesterday. Where are they handing out the torches and pitchforks? apparently you missed the other 200. Shaw doesn't have it this year for whatever reason. the quicker the Brewers realize it the better off they will be. Sick of shoe horning this guy in there And you're valuing 200 ABs over the 1000 ABs prior to that. Shaw not having it for 200 ABs doesn't mean much except that your opinion is coming from a place of irrational impatience. Which is fine, you're allowed to feel impatient, but it also means nobody should be seriously listening to your advice.

    He's had seven at bats. Seven. Let's all get super irrational over it. Meanwhile, Hiura just recently suffered an 0 for 9 before hitting a double yesterday. Where are they handing out the torches and pitchforks? Batting .333 going into a small cold spell buys you a lot of patience. People are just sick of Shaw being miserable. And what was Shaw batting in AAA prior to his call up? He was doing well right? And we know AAA numbers are legit because Grisham is going to be amazing. Looking forward to the slanted logic response.

    But with satelite and cable if you cancel and you are in a contract there is a fee you have to pay. For the streaming service there is no fee and you can cancel and switch whenever you want. So that problem is mitigated a bit. No contract with my cable at spectrum. I can walk anytime I want, but choose not to deal with the streaming services, etc. I have considered going to dish, but just not worth it. If you watch a ton of channels then cable can absolutely be worth it. I don't watch much TV outside of sports and a select few shows, streaming services have plenty of options for me and at a lower price with no BS hidden fees or equipment fees. So while Spectrum may not have contracts I can cancel my streaming service in 60 seconds online with a click of a button then sign up with a different streaming service and start watching their content in another 60 seconds. Spectrum makes you call them to cancel and then spends 10 minutes trying to convince you to stay. Once you get through to an actual human being that is.

    Accurate review... brah
  18. SeaBass
    So if the Brewers are right in the middle of it, and the other teams they're jockeying for position with are making meh or no moves, how does this move hurt the Brewers? They're already right there, the Cubs have made some lateral moves, the Cardinals, Nationals and Phillies have yet to do anything. The Giants and Diamondbacks look to be sellers. What am I missing? How does this spell doom for the Brewers? They're still in the mix, right? And have added two pitchers and the day isn't over.

    Braun isn't going anywhere. That ship sailed two years ago now I think. He has full no trade rights as a 10-and-5 player and he's on the record as saying he'll veto any trade that doesn't involve a very specific list of teams (California team, contender) which essentially means the Dodgers, and the Dodgers frankly don't need him. Even if, against all odds, a deal was agreed to between the Brewers and Dodgers I still don't think it's a slam dunk Braun accepts it. He's comfortable in Milwaukee, he's friendly with Yelich, Moose and others including Mark A and family. There's really no reason, at all, to even try to dream up a scenario where Braun is traded at this point in his career. All the control of such a move rests with Braun and with the Brewers contention window being open right now I don't think there's any way he leaves.
  20. SeaBass
    Right, there are definitely going to be trades. I am a little surprised the Stroman deal is the only big trade so far. Next 31 hours should be interesting. I expect at least one big move goes down today.
  21. SeaBass
    Yeah, I feel like there's a huge staring contest going on around the league. With the "new" trade deadline being the only trade deadline may have changed things up for the worse, at least in the feeling out stages since MLB hasn't had to deal with this scenario before. Certainly not what most expected, most of the reaction back when it was announced seemed to be along the lines of "the trade deadline is going to be more exciting!" and "teams are going to buy earlier than ever!" That hasn't really happened.
  22. SeaBass
    So you're saying he's nearly as good as Zach Davies!
  23. SeaBass
    I take you're in Wisconsin, right? I was thinking about switching to Dish from Direct TV. That right there is enough of a reason for me to not bother. Standard negotiation tactics, FRSN pulls broadcast rights from provider to try to get more money. It will be resolved at some point. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/sling-tv-dish-lose-fox-rsns/
  24. SeaBass
    There are two parties in the negotiation, blaming the service provider exclusively isn't really fair. I'm in the same boat with Sling and I imagine things will get worked out eventually, I'll just try other streaming services until that happens. Cool thing there is you usually get a 1 week free trial, you could get yourself two or more free weeks out of that if you wanted and by then maybe things are resolved with your preferred provider.
  25. SeaBass
    Joe must think if it works half the time why not? Keep the merry go round going.
