Loge Infield Preferred and Platinum- Great and Empty Seats
Axman59 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No doubt. There's a million ways you can tailgate and not have to fire up a grill. For most people, having some good food (can be take out from almost anywhere) and cooler full of your favorite beverage is all that's needed for a tailgate. It will be tastier than the trash served in the park and hell of a lot cheaper. -
Cohen all but came out and said he’s hiring Stearns
Axman59 replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I say there is a 100% chance Stearns will be running baseball operations for the Mets in 2024. Is this something you can bet on? I'm not much of a gambler but it's not gambling if you know it's going to happen. -
Loge Infield Preferred and Platinum- Great and Empty Seats
Axman59 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I agree why bother, but that doesn't stop me from going to games. I either tailgate (eating my own tasty and reasonably priced food) or eat somewhere else before the game. Then I carry in water and peanuts to snack on during the game. I'd rather set myself on fire than to pay obscene amounts of money for the Brewers' subpar brats, hot dogs, and/or hamburgers. I'm shocked that so many people fork over hard earned money for their crap food. -
I'm glad I don't buy anything in Milwaukee.

Pinstripes on a white uni are perfectly acceptable for me. And I can bend the rules to allow for powder blue on the road. I'll even allow a front yellow panel hat for away games. 🙂
-
I wish teams would just settle on their best home and away uniform and stick with it for every game. Not a fan of the softball team look. I especially dislike the mismatched tops and pants that seems so popular today. Back in my day, teams wore home whites and road grays. And we liked it that way!

At least they were being paid for their misery! You and I paid for our discomfort. 🙂

People need to keep in mind that extreme heat and plastic fields are a bad combination. It will make the park even more unbearable on hot, sunny days.
-
I took my son and daughter to a July day game several years ago and sat about 3 rows behind the visitor dugout. The heat (it was in the low to mid-90's), sunlight, and lack of breeze was so unbearable we left after 3 innings. I'm normally a stick it out baseball fan, but even I could stand it no longer. So we left, stopped at a restaurant on the way home that had a large screen TV, and ate some tasty food in air conditioned comfort while watching the game. So it wasn't a total loss. It actually turned into a pretty good memory for me with my kids.

If they put fake grass in I will never attend another game. I'm serious. Disgusting. Totally unacceptable. Thankfully, I've never attended a major league game played on artificial grass (15 different ballparks through the years - Brewers (County Stadium and Miller Park), Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Orioles, Phillies, Cubs, Reds, Pirates, Cardinals, White Sox, Dodgers, Padres, Angels).

Dubon rocking a 1.7 WAR this season for the Astros. Ray Black last pitched in the MLB in 2020. Drew Pomeranz last pitched in the MLB in 2021.
-
The Lauer/Urias trade has been all over the board in terms of who "won." At times people here declared the Brewers the clear winners. Now, not so much. WAR for 2023 (to date) Grisham: 1.1 Lauer: -0.6 Urias: -0.2 Edit - I'm not suggesting the Padres won. Just pointing out that this has been a moving target.

You are trying to protect people who choose not to be protected. Their choice, their risk, their problem.
-
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.
-
If you really wanted to honor our fallen heroes you wouldn't go to a ball game for a few seconds of silence. You'd attend a dedicated Memorial Day service at a cemetery. I had the honor of visiting Arlington National Cemetery for services on Memorial Day in 1999. It was the most meaningful Memorial Day I've ever had in my 52 years of life.

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.

Ding dong, the shift is dead. Long live the pitch clock.

Aaron just wants to help umpires be better. -
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.
