Who had 'ground to first base' on the card for the first way we score this year?

could you do it for our offense as well?

whoops... lost track of time.

I haven't see it started yet... So I'm going to create it... saw this over at CBS Sports: (My emphasis in bold/italics) 22. The Brewers will beat the Astros in the World Series Do I love Milwaukee's offense? No. Hunter Renfroe is a big offensive upgrade over Jackie Bradley Jr. without being a big defensive downgrade, and surely Christian Yelich will get his slugging percentage back over .400, right? Even then, it feels like the offense's ceiling is pretty good rather than great, and offenses like that can get exposed (like in the NLDS last year). That said, the pitching is great, and the offense only needs to be great for a few weeks in October. Who saw Eddie Rosario having the best month of his career last postseason, or Jorge Soler socking clutch homer after clutch homer? Weird things happen in October. Get in and you can win. The Braves showed that last year and this year I'm boldly predicting the Brewers do the same. As for the Astros, letting Carlos Correa leave is a significant loss -- Jeremy Peña could have a Rookie of the Year season and still be a multi-win downgrade because Correa is that good -- though they're still very good and I would not want to face them in a short postseason series. They still have six great hitters plus a (hopefully healthy) Justin Verlander and Lance McCullers Jr. For my final bold prediction, I have the Brewers winning the first World Series championship in franchise history, and the Astros losing the World Series for the second straight year and the third time in the last four years. This sport can be cruel. As for a World Series MVP pick, how about Rowdy Tellez? When in doubt, pick the dude named Rowdy. Baseball has not had a repeat champion since the Yankees won three straight from 1998-2000. With all due respect to the Braves, I don't see that streak ending this year. Milwaukee will be title town come October.

Since the DH appears to be here in the NL for good, and ESPN's take on it seemed to overlook lots of fun moments, lets create our own list. #1 for me - Gallardo hits HR, scores only run in 1-0 win. Suter hitting his HR was fun as well, mainly because it's Suter ? Feel free to share, doesn't have to be a Brewer.

My wife and I, we haven't heard any other PbP man besides Uecker... he's been our guy for our whole lives. We are not looking forward to the day he signs off for the last time. It will feel like loosing a part of summer. There is no one better, especially when the game is a blow out, like in Pittsburgh; "looks like he's calling to get someone ready in the bullpen, and the guys are climbing the fence to get out so their number isnt going to get called." (Or something like that)

It is nice to have a refresh to the site. Will take a while to get used to how it all works, as I was mostly a lurker, occasional poster.

I had to create a new account... since I dont have access to the email account i created to log into these forums. (I am/was Myday2001). I am grateful for the continuation of the forums, and the fresh update... Is there a dark mode? Makes it easier to 'hide' at work, since we use Teams (ugh ?).

Excuse me but... Holy crap! Didnt think itd happen!

The Gomez story with that girl, that was a fun and great thing Carlos did. Was really cool to see that.

You forgot to add his pitching line.. lol

Cubs lose again by over 7, after leading by 7...

Think 90s Braves.. winning tends to become common and expected. For the casual fan, after 5 straight playoff years, itll take a WS appearance to get them really excited now.

They probably used more baseballs in that game than fans in the stands... You get a baseball, you get a baseball..

There is a good chance Ricky Bones, Brett Anderson and everybody's favorite playoff CF will get shafted tomorrow too. NOOOOOO. Not Diego!

They needed to put James Earl Jones' speech over Costner standing there... and then have the players walk out. Would've been sooo much awesomer! Really disappointed they didnt use the 'one constant' speech.

Cubs released Arrieta.

This is the optimism thread! 34-18 for 100 wins!

I was impressed that LaRussa was able to get there in a straight line.

We really like the one in Lake Geneva. Its called Paradise. Its pretty nice.

Do relievers need to throw so many pitches on the mound, after warming uo in the bullpen?

With our history of closers, he's s perfect then.

Lack of options?

Wasnt council traded twice, or did he re-sign once?
