Fun read as a Brewer's fan: https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cubs/ct-chicago-cubs-milwaukee-brewers-rebuild-20210810-tesfab76hvao3dl5g65dstxddq-story.html

What is really infuriating about that is during the Giants series, Kapler asked the HP umpire to ask the other umpires about a fair/foul bunt call. He did and they overturned it. Counsell then went out to argue how they could see it better than the home plate ump. Now he asks for the same type review and they refuse. How about some consistency? -
I was thinking the same thing, pretty late to not have a lineup yet. Hopefully it's just a Yelich thing and not something worse.

Houser and Gustave test positive for Covid
Patrick425 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Being vaccinated doesn't necessarily mean you are immune. There is a greater chance you won't feel the effects or they will be mild. None of the vaccines are 100% effective. I get "not 100% effective" but this isn't just a random outlier. This is a lot of players testing positive. Were these guys actually vaccinated or was that just a fake thing reported to the media? Or are the vaccines really this bad? The vaccines are not bad. They do a pretty good job at protecting you from getting really sick or hospitalized...or worse. I believe above 97% of hospitalizations right now are unvaccinated. Sorry moderators...just wanted to point this out. -

American Family Field AKA Miller Park
Patrick425 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I've gone through some gates this year where they wanted me to put keys, phone, etc in the little plastic bin and other times I'm holding my keys, ready to put them in the bin and they just wave me through, not requiring me to put anything in the bin. I'm assuming the keys in my hand sets off the detector but they have no idea if I may have some other "non-acceptable" metal item in my pockets as they just assume the keys were the item that set the detector off. -
Isn't this in line with the Moneyball thinking about relievers? Don't invest big money in relievers. One reason being that they tend to be inconsistent.

I don't know the exact numbers but it's extended close contact like within 8 ft of each other for half an hour (eating together). I don't think sharing a clubhouse counts or 2 minute hi how are ya conversations. Ok, so a long offensive inning they may be in the dugout 20+ minutes and also, throughout the course of a game they are in the dugout together way more than 30 minutes. It's not consecutive, but what's the difference. I also believe they spend more than 30 minutes in the clubhouse together. PeavyFury's explanation would make some sense. Also, what is the policy for postponing games? I know some teams have had games postponed this year because of COVID (Nats? Yankees?). Why have no Brewer games been cancelled? Would hate to see us lose games because of this (already lost at least one, last night) and then 2 to 4 weeks from now it becomes more widespread to the point where they postpone games after the Brewers have already paid the price in terms of games lost due to COVID.
-
This has probably been discussed in other threads, but I don't understand the Close contact IL (I know this is not the case here). Aren't all the players in close contact every day?
-
If my count is correct in 56 pitches to Brewer position players in this game there have been only 3 "non-foul" strikes, 2 swinging and 1 called. edit: actually 4 I guess, 2 called, 2 swinging

Anyone else having issues with the Bally feed? Picture keeps freezing, audio has been fine.

This is why when I hear "Why didn't the Brewers go get this guy or that guy" either now or in the off season, I have to shake my head. Aside from the fact that they don't have an $8+ billion dollar TV contract like teams such as the Dodgers, there are so many other factors at play. You can't just get whoever you want. There are 29 other teams - several of them with much higher revenue and more desirable geographic locations to players. Derek Jeter was a great SS, but do you think he would have been as nationally known or as iconic if he played his career with the Brewers? Players understand that there is "added value" beyond their actual contract to playing in big markets on either coast.
-
Just pretend they got Adames today instead of back in May And you could argue somewhat that it was similar to trading Reese Olson and Payton Henry for Adames since we basically replaced the relievers we traded for Adames with Curtiss and Norris.
-
...AND they got an extra month and half out of Adames...AND because they didn't have the competition that they would have had if they waited until now, they probably would have had to give up more than they did to get Adames.

I was in a NL only fantasy league since 1984 (was AL only before Brewers moved to NL). After 37 years, I decided to get out this year for various reasons. Anyways, kind of happy I did. All these trades are probably creating havoc (ones between AL and NL). We had a bidding process set up but it required someone not interested to take bids and it was a bit painful to find that person for each player being bid on, sorting out who was in on the bidding and who wasn't...and a lot of crazy overbidding.

Never understand how Baez ever puts up any good numbers? Possibly the lowest baseball IQ in MLB. Not sure why you would ever throw him a strike, and he is just so reckless on the basepaths , but the only time his base running ever seems to get noticed are the times where his bad decision making "pays off". Would never want him on the Brewers.

Thought this was a joke...but nope. https://www.treehugger.com/why-millionaire-pitcher-daniel-norris-lives-in-a-van-4868265 I feel like he and Sutter will become good friends.

christian yelich's experience on covid-19 injured list
Patrick425 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Just hoping more cases don't pop up now! -
Was at the game last night so perhaps this was mentioned in that game thread, but the Doorman's significant other is a White Sox fan?
-
BA keeps reiterating that there is no benefit of grabbing a foul ball. Wrong - Dozier just waited a hair too long and touched it as it just hit the line again. If he would have grabbed it a split second earlier there would have been a clear benefit.
-
BA stated that Dozier should have let that ball roll out if he wasn't going to make the throw anyways. Not sure I agree with that. I think Dozier was thinking grab it while it's foul and don't let it roll back to fair territory. It was pretty close.
-
Love the lineup tonight. Wong being back and Peterson at 1st. Would like to see this be there go-to lineup for most games especially against righties. Hopefully Wong can stay healthy.

Reading your post pissed me off. What the hell is the matter with people? Not every aspect of one's life should require a personal soundtrack. Do they blast music while out fishing on a quiet lake as well? As for the bolded part, I don't think you'd look like a jerk for asking them to turn it off, that's being pretty darn polite. I don't even think you'd be a jerk for saying turn that crap off right now. Unfortunately this has become a thing in golf over the last 5 years or so. They even advertise speakers made specifically for use on golf courses in golf magazines. I don't get it at all. A large part of the enjoyment of golf, for me anyways, is the serenity and nature. I have been golfing for over 40 years now and I have just noticed a general lack of awareness or courtesy for others within 4 somes as well as all others on the course (as noted bybjkrautk). Like having non-quiet conversations while others are hitting, parking carts or leaving bags in front of the green (instead of closer to the next tee), and low awareness of playing slow. All of these use to be widely accepted golf protocols that experienced golfers followed and passed along to inexperienced golfers. Not really the case anymore. I would say that its a generational thing, but not necessarily the case. Several of the guys that are playing music in our league are my age or even older.
-
I'm in a Tuesday night golf league. More and more of the other 2 man teams that my partner and I golf against are playing music as we golf. Drives me nuts. If I ask if they would mind not playing the music then I look like the jerk. Its like if someone offered you a sandwich and you turned it down because you were not hungry or did not like the type of sandwich they were offering, but they insisted that you eat it and started physically forcing it down your throat. Except in this case, they don't even "offer" the music, they just immediately force it into your ears and appear offended if you ask them to turn it off.

I can think of a lot of reasons. Perhaps just running a bit late and he's dropping him off before he goes to park the car. Maybe they have multiple kids that are in multiple activities. He has to go pick up one of the other kids from practice or something. Perhaps going to pick up snacks for after the game. Also, in regards to saying he should get out and coach. Not every Dad/Mom for every kid on the team should help coach - too many cooks in the kitchen. The ad they play all the time during Brewer games that I can't figure out (I believe a Miller High Life ad) is the scooch to the left, scooch to the right add as the person is trying to hang a framed picture or painting on the wall. I can't figure out the angle they are showing as they are "scooching" the painting/picture.....seems like it is not level at all and completely slanted at a 45 degree angle.
