This is what the article above was arguing for: That's just stupid. Players can sit in the dugout where there is a screen in front of them and there is no chance of ball hitting them. Many choose not to sit in those areas, which is fine, because they have assumed the risk. But here comes the nanny with a helmet for them to wear in the dugout. -
When a player has cervical surgery and later goes on the IL with a "neck strain." Yeah, that's not good. Like Prince Fielder not good.

The wimpification of America continues. Why not shut the sport down and avoid all chance of injury to anyone?

I think they should start using squishy balls like they do in T-ball. And they should use protective screens for the pitcher like they do in batting practice. I would also recommend that hitters start wearing full motorcycle helmets for added protection. And a throat guard for their neck.

Who is buying these if they can't use them for revenue generating rental properties? I'd be shocked if Green Bay has the kind of residents who will pony up $700,000 to $1.2 mil for a condo. But I wish them luck...

Manfred burned his credibility with 1/2 of the politicians in the country when he moved the All-Star game out of Atlanta for political reasons. If anyone thinks his presence in Wisconsin will help get tax dollars allocated to the park, you'd best rethink that position. I guarantee he hurt the Brewers cause more than he helped it.

And I am extremely confident the state is not going to pass a new tax to cover this.

States allow other levels of government to default on things all the time. States do not have a legal obligation to cover the liabilities of other levels of government.

The Stadium District is its own governmental body and is separate from the State of Wisconsin government. It is like, for example, the City of Brookfield. If the City of Brookfield defaults on a contract, the aggrieved party does not have a cause of action against the State of Wisconsin just because the City of Brookfield is in Wisconsin, or because the State of Wisconsin has given money to the City of Brookfield in the past. If the State of Wisconsin is a contractual guarantor of the Stadium District I am not aware of it, would not assume they are, and if someone claims they are I'd like to see the evidence of it.

The State doesn't own the park. The Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District does and they are the entity that leases the park to the Brewers.* And the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District doesn't have any money other than the $70 million they currently have in reserve. So I'm not sure the Brewers can force the State to pay and the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District has no mechanism to tax anyone to generate more money. I think the Brewers recourse is to declare the lease to be in breach and play somewhere else. *From their website: The Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District (the District) is a special district that is a local unit of government, a body corporate and politic that is separate, distinct and independent from the state.

What's the penalty for the Stadium District defaulting on the lease?
-
Comparing Miller Park to the dump the A's play in is like comparing a 2013 Lexus to a 1976 Ford Pinto.

Billy Beane in full tank mode. Wherever he is, Sam Hinkie is smiling.

Good for the A's. They've needed to get out of Oakland for years.

It depends on whether you live in or out of market. Out of market fans have the option of MLB.tv, which is a great value even at full price ($150 per season to get every MLB game that is outside your home market).

Give us your best tips on watching a game at AmFam
Axman59 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The owner of the website brought up the issue. I would say that makes it fair game to discuss. -

Agreed. I have no interest in walking around downtown Milwaukee. I worked down there for 9 years (which ended in 2015) and I'd be happy to never return. My preferred pre-game activity is tailgating--not window shopping or dodging gunfire. It's cheap, fun, and delicious and the Brewers parking lot set up is great for that. For in-park food I carry in peanuts and water. -
I take it from that Stearns didn't want the job.

It's obvious he wants to leave. Why pay the guy to do basically nothing? Just let him go.

The guy was non-tendered by a team that won 69 games last season. I find it hard to get excited about that kind of player...

Article: The Brewers Need To Extend Willy Adames
Axman59 replied to Cole McCormack's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Rather than extend him, I would trade him right now to the Dodgers (assuming the Dodgers have interest--and I think they do). The Dodgers have plenty of prospects to spare. The Brewers could bridge to Brice Turang with someone like Elvis Andrus or Jose Iglesias or Jean Segura. -
Three-way trade with A's, Braves; Brewers get William Contreras
Axman59 replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I like the headline from Keith Law's article in The Athletic: "Law: Oakland trades Sean Murphy to Atlanta, and the winners are … the Brewers?" Subscription required* but here's the article: https://theathletic.com/3995819/2022/12/12/trade-grade-athletics-braves-brewers/ *My subscription to The Athletic was $1 per month. ? I don't normally like subscription services but for $1 a month I can make an exception. -
Three-way trade with A's, Braves; Brewers get William Contreras
Axman59 replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I keep waiting to see what other pieces the Brewers had to add to the deal. I don't think there are any. This is an impressive trade for the Brewers. I never viewed Ruiz as having a bright future and they flipped him for a young catcher who has already proved he can hit MLB pitching.
