  1. Part of it is that the Brewers are simply late to the dance on this. More and more, cities and states have figured out that spending millions in taxpayer dollars to built a stadium is no longer a good deal (if it ever was). re: Maryvale, it seems like I have to re-post my thoughts on it every years. My wife and I visited Spring Training about six years ago. When we got to our hotel, which was in the northern part of Phoenix, we asked the clerk at our hotel desk where to visit, sights to see, etc. One of the first things she said was, "Avoid Maryvale." Then we told her we were there to see the Brewers, and she said, "Well, if you go during the day and just go to the stadium, you should be OK." So yes, it seems to have a bad reputation, not just with tourists, but with the locals. No, it's not a festering ghetto, but it's an area surrounded with lower income houses, pawn shops, etc. You drive out of the stadium after a game, and there are people begging for money on the median (at least there were at the time we visited). The stadium itself is OK, perfectly fine to just watch a game, but the newer ones blow it out of the water in terms of layout and amenities.
  2. So we're a day late and a dollar short when it comes to the issue of a spring training facility, once again. Frustrating.
  3. I'm glad he's coming back. Hopefully Milwaukee is still a good fit for him and he can find that spark again. He is still only 29, so it's not like he's over the hill.
  4. Attanasio: "Get me Swarzak!" Stearns: "Yes sir, right away, sir." Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  5. Great game tonight. Obviously the news of the Swarzak acquisition fired the team up and gave them the inspiration they needed. (Yes, that last part should be im blue). Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  6. This past week has just sucked.
  7. This is starting to sound like the same kind of logic that made people sure Josh Hamilton was going to be a Brewer at some point.
  8. I was two years old, so no 1982 memories for me. Really hoping I see the Brewers in the World Series in my lifetime.
  9. Really did not think the Brewers would be leading the division near the All-Star break, but here we are. A 4.5 game lead on the Cubs. I don't watch ESPN or MLB Network much at all (don't get MLB Network on our current TV package). Are the Brewers getting respect, or is it basically, "They'll come back down to earth, Cubs will come around", etc?
  10. Yeah. He is looking especially horrendous so far tonight. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  11. I could see Stearns exploring it after the season. Everything about Arcia screams "special player." This isn't just a guy having a hot first half, from the looks of how he's playing. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  12. Pretty sure they have had non All Stars in it before. I recall that being the case with Adam Dunn one year. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  13. So where will the Brewers' AAA team be then?
  14. How many wall scraper home runs will the Crew hit today?
  15. Nearly forgot there was a second game today. Nice to see the Brewers with a lead. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  16. Pina hits a nice line drive to left, but can only manage a single from it. Wet field conditions don't seem to be helping the Brewers. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  17. Here's your late to the show IGT for tonight's game. Brewers are currently winning 5-0! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

  21. What a fun team to watch. Nice to seen Broxton in a groove right now. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  22. First series win in St. Louis since 2014. I'll take it! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
  23. I recall several years ago, didn't some of the Brewers complain about the batter's eye? That was fixed, though.
  24. Ah you're right. I forgot this is a four game series.
