    I wonder if Harper will try to track down Blazek after the game and ask him to throw to him if he's a HR derby contestant next year.
  2. Patrick425
    So Levering (that's who is calling the game, right...I can't keep track anymore) just said that the 5 HRs in an inning tied a MLB record, but didn't mention that the Brewers had done that a few years back. Seems like that would be an automatic follow up to that statement. Trying to remember the players...Clark? Fielder? Hall? whoever the catcher was (Moeller?), and Hardy?...ok, I guess more than a few years back

    Thanks for the advice. Not looking to spend more than around $300. My son already has a laptop, so the tablet would just be a supplemental tool. Seems like there are ASUS tablets priced at around $200 that get some good reviews. Also, on my last post I added another question I hoped someone could help answer: As I look at comparisons on Amazon there is something called Connectivity technology (which many just show as blank and others have wireless, bluetooth, wi-fi) and something called Wireless technology (which all have wi-fi and/or bluetooth). What is the difference between these two features?

    Beltre was in the tv camera view of the pitcher/catcher/batter while on deck. When have you ever seen that before? He was basically asking to be kicked out. Yet, the ump could have just motioned with his hand to move the on deck circle back. Then again, the grace was telling him to move back to the batter's circle. Not sure if he still does this, but when Carlos Gomez was with the Brewers he didn't stand anywhere near the on deck circle. If he wasn't in the view of the center field camera, he sure must have been pretty close (maybe Beltre picked this up from Gomez).

    My son is going back to school in less than 3 weeks and has hinted that a tablet would really come in handy for him. So, I have been contemplating getting him one as a "back to school" surprise. He has an iphone so I did some browsing for ipads since I thought it would be helpful if he had something that was compatible with his phone. So, hoping for some advise from others who have more knowledge about this stuff: - Does it really matter if he has an iphone and a "non-ipad" (and probably cheaper) tablet? - My head spun over all the different types of ipads. I don't even know what the latest model is or if it's even that important to get the latest and greatest. What is the difference between the this version and the previous version? What are the major differences between the mini and "standard" (or whatever it's called). - If it's not that big of a deal to get a tablet that is not an ipad, does anyone have suggestions on other options? edit: also, as I look at comparisons on Amazon there is something called Connectivity technology (which many just show as blank and others have wireless, bluetooth, wi-fi) and something called Wireless technology (which all have wi-fi and/or bluetooth). What is the difference between these two features?

    Ageed. So did Garza slip in the shower and strain a leg muscle forcing Brinson to leave after the top of the 1st. Just a weird 24 hours with little information. Yes, he slipped in the shower, landed on some salad tongs, then a suit case landed on him before Braun hit him with his bat.
  7. Patrick425
    They still have to make a move tomorrow when Swarzak joins the team...right? Maybe that's will be the Blazek being sent down move.
  8. Patrick425
    If this does turn out to be some sort of trade, especially one involving a big name, it has to be one of the best kept secrets in regards to a developing trade that I have ever seen.
  9. Patrick425
    Maybe they will not do anything and not send anyone down and see if anyone notices.
  10. Patrick425
    You missed the rumor that Brinson had to settle for an aisle seat. lol Also, he's currently somewhere over the Bermunda Triangle. Stay tuned. You also missed that sometimes Attanasio wakes up Stearns by shaking him and saying, "Hey, hey, wake up...we are going to make a trade today"
  11. Patrick425
    I agree with this.
  12. Patrick425
    Also provides further indication that Brinson being called up is not just a rumor.
  13. Patrick425
    As someone stated earlier, the Sky Sox play a day game today which begins in about 2 hours. Not sure when the starting lineups are announced for minor league games but we should know soon if Brinson is in today's lineup. If not, then that would certainly suggest something is up with him...call up, trade (as many have pointed out would not make sense), injury.
  14. Patrick425
    Of Phillips, Brinson, or Santana...Phillips would clearly be the most palatable player to be traded imho. I love his personality, but I'm less certain about his abilities to produce at the MLB level than I am the other two players.
  15. Patrick425
    Brinson's call up is not even official, but when asked by Haudricourt about it, Stearns danced around the question and said there would be more said later today.
  16. Patrick425
    While the thought of trading Phillip or Brinson or even Santana may make some people very uncomfortable, you really need to look forward to opening day 2018. Something has to give...they have Brinson, Phillips, Braun, and Santana (and don't forget Broxton). All these players should arguably be on an MLB active roster starting next year. So, you either make a trade now or during the off season. I'm guessing the return on the market for Braun is not exactly great (and we would probably have to eat much of his contract). So, it's reasonable that Phillip, Brinson, or Santana will be dealt at some point. If you can get a good pitcher who is controllable for the next 2-3 years in a trade now, I say you do it since it's most likely going to happen in the off season anyways.
  17. Patrick425
    Isn't Darvish in the last year of a contract, so he would be a 2 month rental? Seems like Phillips would be pretty steep price for that. Would rather have Gray.
  18. Patrick425
    Huh?

    Kato Kaelin won the 50/50 Brewer raffle earlier in the month? Was watching some program about O.J. Simpson last night and they mentioned that. My wife said, "Yeah, you didn't know that?!" How did I not hear about this? I did a search on "Kato" on the Fan Forum and it returned no results, so does not appear that it was ever brought up on Brewerfan either. http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2017/07/03/kato-kaelin-won-big-sundays-milwaukee-brewers-game/448961001/

    He is doing a nationally televised game on TBS. Oh, yeah, duh. I was thinking it's not basketball season..but forgot that he also does the TBS baseball games.

    I know why Schroeder is out this week, and I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, but where is Anderson?
  22. Patrick425
    Like reillymcshane, I've have also shared my 1982 stories before on this board. I was a junior in HS and at all the games in the bleachers with my friends (ALCS and WS). When they won the ALCS we all jumped on the field and went nuts, then hopped a city bus downtown and "high-fived" countless people as we made our way up Wisconsin Avenue. Not sure where we ended up (somewhere back near the stadium) but eventually one of my friends then called his Dad to come pick us up. Was also at the post-world series parade and stadium celebration with Robin on the motorcycle. Looking at the ticket prices now for the games is unbelievable.... Tried to share a picture of the tickets, but I can't figure it out. I made a shareable link from google drive and then tried to share that as an image...apparently that's not the way to do it.
  23. Patrick425
    Completely forgot that they also have Wang. Amazing. "Hey Wang, what's with the pictures? It's a parking lot!" Edit: Btw....I know...Wang in the Brewers org. is not pronounced the same. Still..

    Ok, I know, these types of discussions can get fairly argumentative, but I'm going to bring it up anyways. Last year the HR rate per game in MLB was 1.16 (second highest ever). This year it's at 1.26 which would blow the old steroid era rate of 1.17 out of the water. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/bat.shtml Do we assume that PEDs are being used in full force again and that the vast majority of players know how to mask it? Seems logical. However, I also know that at least one poster on brewerfan has tried to make the argument that PEDs do nothing to increase homerun quantities in MLB and it's all tied to periods of expansion in baseball. Well, there has not been any expansion since 1998 and yet the HR rate has gone up significantly over the last 4 years (0.86 in 2014, 1.26 this year). The recent HR derby reminded me of the HR derby freak shows from the late 80's and early 90's. Players are on 60 HR paces again. So, if it's not PEDs or expansion, what is it, juiced ball? I know, this thread will bring out the "who cares" and "just let them use PEDs" argument. I don't agree with that sentiment, but that's ok. Let's just not pretend that PEDs do nothing to increase HR rates in baseball.
  25. Patrick425
    Yeah, just look at Brady Anderson....oh, never mind, nothing to see here.
