No. It's being lazy and inconsiderate, not "fine". I don't know how else you would explain not taking the simple steps to put a cart back where it belongs when you are done using it so that it does not block a spot or possibly roll into someone's car. So many people out there who believe they are "special". I'm guessing I'm going to get responses stating certain cases where it's not being rude (someone who is disabled, etc). May be true, but clearly the minority of incidents of this behavior.

That was my first thought as well. Have you seen Willy Adames's career stats, and Orlando Arcia's career stats? Right. Seems like some are way undervaluing Adames and way overvaluing Feyereisen. I understand the frustration with the Grisham return, but that's done with - time to move on. I don't mind Urias at the plate for a middle infielder, but he really has to figure out his throwing "yips" at SS. That is getting pretty frustrating to watch. -
I believe Adams already will come in with the 3rd highest year to date WAR of any current position player on the Brewers. May not be saying much, but he also had a 7 WAR through his first 3 seasons. IMHO, Feyereisen will not be anything special going forward. Rasmussen may end up being decent, but overall, I'm in favor of this trade.

Odd observation - but weird how they put the extra letters on the inning by inning scoring graphic (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc...)
-
The grumbling about our offense is completely warranted. However, I feel like a lot of fan bases feel that same way about their team's offense this year.
-
I'm with you there. One of the oddest rules in all of sports (excluding golf of course).
-
I would sure hope that Williams can go back out in the 9th and have Hader for the 10th if needed (unless we score here of course - then send Hader out there for the 9th).
-
Maybe I’m not paying close enough attention, but what’s bothering you behind the ump? They have settled down a bit now. I'm a bit of a baseball snob when it comes to fans. People that just go to games to drink and be loud and obnoxious (without showing much baseball knowledge) annoy me. Drunk, loud, obnoxious people annoy me in general. The reason I sit in the family section is not because I don't drink.
-
Front row Amy included? I assume she'll be back at some point. Well, one that I could turn on or off. Definitely would be on for this game.
-
Wish there was a blur feature for everything behind home plate. Edit....everything behind the umpire.

In high school, when I weighed something like 130 pounds, I had a Saturday track meet (I think my senior year? - 35+ years ago), got up from the kitchen table that morning and basically collapsed in pain from a sharp lower back pain. Missed that track meet and a few more and walked around like a crooked old man for several days. Have had on and off issues with my back ever since. Have had an MRI, X-rays, etc - nothing unusual was found. Have had periods of relatively normal feeling and other periods where it was very hard for me to walk or stand up straight. Have been to a chiropractor, had cortisone shots - none of it much help. My current doctor believes it stems from stiffness and inflexibility in my legs. I also sit at a desk every day which does not help. I still golf, but I feel the effects of it that night and the next day. I don't think I would have ever been able to play baseball every day (not now or 25 years ago) with the back issues I have had. Obviously Christian Yelich is in much better shape that I have ever been in and has a lot more access to physical therapy and medical analysis. However, it seems like there is a multitude of reasons why backs can be an issue. Its not always as simple as a disk or alignment issue and it seems like its not always easy to diagnose, especially when the pictures show nothing.

Its insane that Major League umpires have jobs as long as they want it, no matter how bad they are. Other than not being assigned post season duties or not being designated as a crew chief there is absolutely zero accountability. Get rid of the consistently horrible umps - beginning with Angel Hernandez! Keston Huira struggles and gets sent down to the minors to try to figure things out. If he is unable to do that he could very well be done with baseball, yet the completely incompetent Angel Hernandez will continue to make horrible calls at the Major League level.

Vaccines may not fully protect against new/different variants/mutations of the virus. The thought is that if someone is positive but asymptomatic, that strain is nothing to worry about. It's the strains that are making people sick/symptomatic after being vaccinated that they need to worry about. Sorry for the late reply. I understand all that. You cut off the remainder of my post. What I was not understanding is the logic behind what the PGA is doing as mentioned by "Fear the Chorizo". If the league is not mandating all players get vaccinated and those who are vaccinated can still get COVID (and not realize that they have it) - why would they stop testing those who got vaccinated as they could still pass it on to those who are not vaccinated?
-
I hate to break it to you, but getting vaccinated doesn't mean you wouldn't test positive for having COVID by any stretch....it likely means he would get through having COVID without displaying obvious severe symptoms warranting a hospital visit or extended absence from playing. This is why some countries (Israel leading the way with this) and health agencies are adjusting their testing approach for vaccinated people (only testing them if they show obvious symptoms to try and trace a variant that may be both breaking through a vaccine and presenting health problems to an individual). Heck, the PGA tour came out and said they aren't going to be testing fully vaccinated players/people - at some point the rest of the sports leagues and society in general will follow suit. Not sure I understand the logic. You can still get COVID if you are vaccinated. However, you are unlikely to show symptoms so you shouldn't get tested unless you show symptoms? Isn't the fear, if you are vaccinated, really about other people you come in contact with? You got the vaccine, but you still got COVID and are not showing symptoms. In this scenario you are still a risk to those who have not been vaccinated. So, at least in the sports world and other situations where you have a team relying on you and everyone on the team is not vaccinated, shouldn't you continue to get tested even if you are vaccinated? Better yet - how about every single player getting vaccinated?! That would pretty much reduce the chance of severe symptoms and probably the need for testing for all.
-
Seems unlikely given where we are in the season. Seems like most players that got the vaccine shot got it earlier this month (and I read Brewer players got the J&J shot - so one and done). Had to google what you said. Only found two players (but maybe there were more). Garrett Cooper and Gio Urshela, and I believe both were only out for a few days. So, hopefully that's the case, but again, I really doubt it unless Burns just recently decided he wanted the shot. Also, I believe I read that Bettinger will make his MLB debut Sunday. No need to announce that if it's just a matter of Corbin getting over a reaction to the shot.
-
I thought the entire team was vaccinated on Easter Sunday? Tom @Haudricourt · Apr 5 Asked if team hit 85% level mandated by MLB, Stearns said he won't get into specifics but added there was "a good chunk of our roster vaccinated." He said players were educated and took the matter seriously. Said he is very pleased with initial turnout. Team got one dose J&J. --- No guaranty as to whether everyone on the team got vaccinated, FWIW. They were educated and took the matter seriously? Apparently not. I know it's not the case, but players that make that choice should not get paid for time they miss due to COVID.

I’m a Bill fan, but the schtick of “I can’t believe the batter took that pitch, and it wasn’t called a strike” on two-strike counts is getting old. It’s well known that umps these days are objectively graded on their calls, and long gone are the days of rewarding a pitcher (or punishing a hitter) for a close two-strike pitch. It’s either a ball or it’s a strike, as it should be. Yeah, its the ones that are outside the box but close and they are called correctly (if you believe the box), and he say's something like "Don't know how you don't call that one a strike", when clearly it was a close pitch that probably could have been called either way. I think Schroder would have a huge strike zone if he was an ump.
-
I'm so glad Bill Schroeder is not an umpire.
-
When a team scores 2 runs and is in danger of losing by 1, not sure how you can be angry at pitching (starting or bullpen). The Brewers biggest issue by far this year (other than a few games) has been offense..especially in games where pitching has done their job.
-
I literally called Williams a "really good reliever" in my post. Not sure how that's judging him. I also didn't rip on Suter, I said he's well worthy of the pen. You're putting words in my mouth that I didn't say and making strawman arguments. I didn't say anything bad about Devin or Suter individually. I said this pen as a whole is overrated. You said 2 good relievers. I assumed that was Hader and someone else..was not certain it was Williams. After Suter gave up a HR, you posted "This bullpen sucks"...so my assumption there is that you were lumping him into the guys other than "the 2 good relievers". I'm not putting words in your mouth.
-
Well...we do have a few injured guys that are not on the DL and also, I'm curious as to why you think our bullpen sucks? Have you seen our bullpen stats this year? Because they have an ERA well over 5? It's 2 really good relievers and then a bunch of journeymen and guys who may have upside but have shown nothing at this level (Rasmussen, Perdomo for instance). I've been on record in numerous GTs before their ERA ballooned that this was a highly overrated pen. Hader is obviously good, can't judge Williams on 3 appearances after the year he had, Neither Boxberger and Feyereisen have given up a run yet. And you made this statement after Suter gave up a HR....really going to rip on Suter based on this one outing (1.29 ERA coming into this game and was pretty good last year). Seems like you expect 7 Hader/Williams caliber arms in the bullpen.
