    Unless it's a huge RBI situation in a close game, I don't think they need to work the entire game plan around Carpenter. He's going to get at least one AB against Gio with the bases empty. Hopefully Gio gets through Carpenter's 2nd AB, and then if it's Woodruff or Anderson, he's just going to get ABs off a RHP. I don't want to burn Woodruff after an inning because we HAVE to bring in a lefty to face Carpenter, only to leave us with Lyles, Albers, etc. in the late (or god forbid, extra) innings. Carpenter is good, but this isn't peak Barry Bonds we're talking about here.

    Trevor Story having possible UCL issues is a killer for the Rockies. Can you imagine Yelich going down right now if we were tied for WC2?
  3. chuckiehacks
    While nothing is a given, and the team needs to continue to win, from a scoreboard-watching perspective, who do we want to be WC2? I think the best scenario is that the Dodgers win the West. I have no interest in a one-game playoff against Kershaw. That leaves the Cardinals and Rockies. I'm guessing Colorado would throw Freeland and St. Louis would go with maybe Flaherty or Mikolas. Or we'll lost to Wainwright and this board will implode. Admittedly, I haven't looked at how rotations line up, but I think I'd rather face St. Louis.

    This is a guy I really want to beat. If for no other reason than his bat flip after the non-strikeout bunt / home run. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-bat flip, I'd just like to see a few from the Brewers tonight. This would be a good night for Cocky Braun to do a little yard work.

    "Squirrels in the Attic" is also my favorite Aerosmith album.

    So many interactions with Freeway at Leff's over the years. Every time in the late-90s the conversation would start with "Ray Allen for Michael Finley...would you do it?!"

    I’m in the market for a new thermometer. I usually use two - one I the smoker & one in the meat. One died recently, and I’m smoking meat for the Packers game on Sunday. What’s your favorite thermometer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's a train.

    Not an attorney, but I'm on the board of my HOA and we've had to retain an attorney in the past when dealing with tenant issues. If you're in Milwaukee, I would recommend her. https://www.huschblackwell.com/professionals/lydia-chartre

    Supposedly they traded Kintzler after he talked to the media about the clubhouse culture. Kelley got DFAd after throwing his glove in a game in which they were up by 24 runs. They're really going all-in on "the Cardinal Way" in DC.

    Gausman, though admittedly, that's who I hope they get, not necessarily who I think they'll get. I think he has the most upside of anyone available.

    Time for the marketing department to come up with a distraction like they did during the Spring Training when the Braun stuff blew up. Oh look, a "stray" dog...

    Those are from the 2011/2012 batch.

    The guy tweeted "White Power," "KKK," and "I hate gays." If he's "ruined," I think he deserves a large part of the blame.

    Regardless of any formal punishment or how fast some people think this will "blow over" (and I'd be curious if they would feel the same way if we were talking about something from say, Anthony Rizzo or Yadier Molina's past), this is going to stick with Hader for his career. He'll likely never get any endorsement deals, he'll be booed everywhere, and it's going to be attached to his name for his career.
  16. chuckiehacks
    I think the MLB CBA is pretty tight when it comes to discipline - it's not the NFL where they just make it up as they go. This makes me think the punishment will come from the team, and it think it will be a suspension. I also think Josh Hader should plan to be at every community event the team holds, because this is going to stick with him for a long time. I'm sure Braun can give him tips for all the canned food drives, ticket give aways, etc. he'll be attending.

    "The Bachelor: Peter Angelos" was definitely the worst season of that show.

    Brad Ford and HighHeat19?
  19. chuckiehacks
    Last night on the broadcast they said his target is 65 pitches tonight.

    Clearly the center of the Venn diagram of Brewers message board fans and Hold Steady fans is smaller than I thought. *puts on the Hold Steady.

    I once had an employee (she was a millennial) tell me that "catching up on Gilmore Girls" on her ipad while she "worked" was no different than listening to music at her desk. Um, what?

    While we don't know everything about how Stearns will operate, one thing that I think is clear is that he holds firm to his idea of value and won't overpay. There have been numerous examples of this - Quintana/Gray last year, Darvish/FA pitching, not selling low on Santana (even though they were clearly trying to move him), etc. The questions are: -Are there times you should overpay (the 2008 CC example, or when it clearly makes you a favorite)? -Is this one of those times? My answers would be: -Yes (flags fly forever) -Ehhh...not sure. This is why he's the GM & I'm not.

    I also liked that the article had no info on the NYY offer. Clearly, BAL is leaking these offers to try to drive up the price, but mysteriously, there's no info on the NYY offer, which leads me to believe that there either isn't an offer, or it's not serious.
  24. chuckiehacks
    Basically, O's want Burnes from MKE or Lux or May from LAD. Both teams balking. MKE prefers to build a package around Phillips & Ortiz.
  25. chuckiehacks
    Woodruff and Broxton/Phillips almost makes too much sense. Baltimore gets a replacement for Adam Jones and a controllable starter with a Top 100 pedigree. Brewers get Machado by dealing from areas of depth. That offer can be topped, at which point I'd probably bow out, but if Baltimore (in there never-ending quest to not rebuild) really wants MLB-ready talent, the Brewers are in a unique position.
