Just heard on the radio the crime in Brazil is terrible where the Packers play there opener. The Packers cannot even leave the hotel and were told not to bring any valuables.
Eagles star says he told family not to come to Brazil amid safety concerns: 'The crime rate is crazy.' Why would the NFL do this? For money of course and hopefully new international viewership since NFL thinks it is similar to soccer.
It was just a 3 or 4 minute bit/thought on MLB Network by Showalter, but you did not misunderstand what he proposed. I agree teams would game it somehow and I believe it was every team.
I think you nailed it right on the head with both available options and rest. Every year that goes by it seems pitchers need more and more rest. I'm sure a reliever needs extra rest after back to back outings.
Also, just heard Pat Murphy and Joe Espada are the 2 NL front runners for manager of the year.
Milner recently made two scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return to the Brewers' bullpen. He has been sidelined since mid-August due to a left shoulder impingement.
As said earlier his velocity has been trending in the wrong direction and the Brewers want to see him get that ticked back up in a less pressurized environment for the post season.
I hope its Hoby Milner we option and not Aaron Ashby.
Hoby's ERA is 6.75 over his last 30 appearances and 4.92 for the year. That is not a very reliable post season reliever.
Not that it matters anymore but
