I wonder what kind of shape Brauny is in. He used to play a little 3b ...

It looks like he hit him. Do you really think assaulting people is a useful way of "holding them accountable"?

Fickell was the flavor of the month. People confused that for future greatness. Happens quite a bit.

It's surprising how little mention is made of Pete Rose being a child rapist. Might not be great to tie baseball's legacy to that.

No votes for Greg?

In other words, we're due.

You can't pick "stand on top of the plate" as your game, then complain when pitches are uncomfortably close to you. Well, I guess you can, but then you're a clown.

Is this a must win?

I don't know if I'd say he has "a lot of upside" anymore. Much of that was tied up in his being a 2b that hit. The Brewers aren't exactly loaded at 1b, but Hiura wouldn't be a monster bat at 1b even if he regressed from last year's misery. He's a fun guy who gave the Crew a super fun year and I'll be pulling for him, but he's got a tough road at this point.
