Well, I hope that any writer that discloses that they did not give Braun a vote will be flooded with angry emails from Brewer fans (or all reasonable baseball fans). It's completely ridiculous. If things had happened like they were suppose to happen, no one would have known about Braun's failed test. How do any of the writer's know that Posey or McCutchen have not failed drug tests? If you believe Braun is guilty, then you have to suspect everyone. How do you fail one test and pass all the others and continue to put up great numbers? If he's guilty then there surely are some holes in MLB's drug testing procedures.

2012 brewers postseason roster eligibility
Patrick425 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Ok, I think I understand now. This part that is a little confusing: However, if a player in the organization is on the DL on August 31 and still on the DL at the end of the regular season, that player may be replaced on the playoff roster by any player that was in the organization as of August 31. Shouldn't that read: If a player is on the DL at the end of the regular season who was on the 25 man roster OR on the DL on August 31st, that player may be replaced on the 25 man playoff roster by any player that was in the organization as of August 31. -

Thanks Blanco. Can I asked how you removed the paired devices from your car? I'm actually now having the same problem you are having. To try to solve my original issue, I unpaired my phone (I did that on my cell phone, not through the car's menu). When I tried to pair it again and it asked for the name of my phone, I used the same name and it said "Sounds to familiar". So, I used a different name and it paired. I still had the same problem when I made calls (not being able to hear the person on the other end). However, the new issue is now when I turn off the car (or my phone) and turn it back on, my car does not recognize the phone. I'm thinking if I can some how remove all the paired phones from my car (I've paired the same phone 3 times now with different names along with my wife's phone), it may help me solve my problem. I just can not figure out how to do that. I sent an email to Subaru. They sent an email back that I should contact my dealer with this issue. I'm due for my first oil change, so I guess I'll have them take a look at it. Anyways...yes, I love the bluetooth function (when it works!!) and I will probably never buy another car that doesn't have it (although it's becoming almost standard on most new cars now). -
Yes, agreed...I guess I was really referring to us, the scoreboard watching fans.

2012 brewers postseason roster eligibility
Patrick425 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Well...not exactly. The way I read it. For example if they wanted to replace Nyjer Morgan (not a suggestion...just stating this as an example) with someone else within the organization, they could not do that since he was not on the DL on August 31st. What I'm trying to understand and maybe it was already explained in a previous post but I just am not seeing it is what if a player that was on the 25 man roster on August 31st gets injured after August 31st and is still injured at the end of the season? Can you replace that player? -
Sorry..have to disagree. You always have to focus on the team that currently holds the prize. Catching Pittsburgh gets you nothing. If St. Louis and Pittsburgh were playing each other today, you would want Pittsburgh to win. You want that game's behind number to continue to shrink. Today, I want LA to beat St. Louis.
-
The problem with that is that the division winners are not always the best teams in the league. Look at the AL this year. Chicago or Detroit will win the Central and a case could be made that both WC teams that end up qualifying in the AL will be better than either of these teams. Also, Atlanta may end up having a 10 game lead over the 2nd wild card team when all is said and done, yet they only get one game to prove they are better in the post season. One game is not enough in baseball.
-
I will agree with an earlier comment that I don't like the one game wild card "playoff". It should be 3 games minimum. However, having said that, adding the extra wild card spot is really starting to live up to the expectations I'm sure MLB hoped for. Without it, Mil, LA, AZ, Pitt, Philly are not really in it at this point and StL would be 5.5 games out of it. For the most part, all the playoff spots would have been pretty much decided at this point.
-
This happens every year? How have I never noticed this?
-
Yes, odd things happen. That's why the probability isn't zero. Well, according to this link....a lot of "Odd" things happen: http://www.coolstandings.com/comebacks.asp?i=1&sn=2012 Seems to me those probabilities are somewhat meaningless.
-
If I'm not mistaken, unless the Dodger fall 2 games back tonight (meaning the Brewers would not gain any ground tonight), the most the Brewers could gain over the weekend (starting tomorrow actually) would be a game and a half. In other words, the closest they could possibly be, if everything went perfectly, by the end of this weekend is 1.5 games out.

Thanks...tried that already though...didn't work. -
Squeeze week?
-
I think most of us have not thought that far ahead. We are just happy about the small glimmer of Sept excitement that they are providing us. My point was that a one game difference should not mean a 35% confidence difference between the two teams. OWBC's explaination cleared it up a bit for me. Yes, the calculated probabilities have a lot of limitations to them.
-
I really am not saying this from a biased view point, but I don't understand how Braun would not be the leading candidate at this point? He leads in OPS, RBIs, HRs, and has more SBs than either McCutchen or Posey. Between Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and SF I don't think success of the team should really be a factor since it's not like any of these teams are 20 games below .500. I honestly don't understand the debate.
-
I don't understand how St. Louis has a 58.7% chance of making the playoffs and LAD only has a 23.9% chance. LA is only 1 game behind St.L and they play a 4 game series against each other this weekend. I understand it's a complex simulation that they run millions of times to come up with these numbers, but still, something seems flawed there. Last year, through 144 games, St. Louis was 7.5 games out of the Wild Card and they were given a 2.4% chance of making the playoffs. So...I don't really give a lot of credence to these probabilities. Odd things happen in sports that can not always be prognosticated by a computer simulation program.

So, I purchased a new car in late July, a 2012 Subaru Legacy. This is the first car I had with Bluetooth. I paired my phone with the car's bluetooth shortly after I purchased the car and it worked great, I loved it. About 7-10 days ago I started having an issue where I can not hear the person on the other end of the call when I make or receive a call. I have tried "unpairing" and "re-pairing" the phone. That did not fix it. I then had my wife pair her phone to my car and she had the same issue (I have an android phone - Nexus and she has an iphone). So, it does not appear to be phone related. Also, I have no problem playing music or pandora from my phone through my car's bluetooth. I have searched all over the internet. I found lot's of "Other caller can not hear me", but not "I can't hear other caller" type issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! -
I'm not a big fan of the thought process that states "well in order to make the playoffs they need X amount of wins, so they would need to win X out of Y games to make the playoffs". I look at games back, period. I figure if you are 3 games back with 3 games to play, while it may be quite a long shot, you are still in it..right (just ask the '82 Brewers and Orioles...didn't happen for the O's, but very close!)? To me, it's getting to those last 3 or 4 games and still being in it mathematically. So, get it to 3 games out and then at least keep pace until the final week of the season. At least that would make it interesting. Also, would love to hear them play either "I'm a believer" by the Monkeys (pretty sure they did that in 87'?) or "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees after home wins until they are eliminated.

If they can get a solid #2 or 3 starter in exchange for a couple of these young arms I'd be all for it. I know that's probably contrary to how 80% of the posters on Brewerfan feel, but I don't want them to "take their lumps" for a season or two. Took enough lumps this season. It's time to contend again next year. There seems to be nothing wrong with their offense at all, let's strike while we can! I think through trade or FA they need to add one established proven starter (An Edwin Jackson type starter would be great!), then let Axford try to prove last season was not just a fluke, but hopefully sign some guys like Affeldt and J. Rauch as setup/closer insurance guys. I hate to spend too much money on middle relievers/setup guys (see David Riske), but it's clear that is their main weakness at this point (the bullpen in general).

Geez...that constant whooo, whooo, whooooo from the stands is really irritating!
-
I suppose all it takes is one vehicle to slow down and the chain reaction gets going. Not necessarily. Because just like when traffic slows down because of an accident that is on the other side of the freeway (another pet peave of mine). Once the accident clears up, the traffic slowly starts moving along again at normal speeds. One driver slowing down may momentarily cause a traffic slow down..but not a long term situation.
-
Call me crazy...but I'm still holding out hope for some sort of miracle September from the Brewers. If I'm not mistaken, the Cards were 7.5 out of 1st and 8.5 out of the wild card at this point last year. And believe me, this is coming from someone who is not exactly a "glass is half full" type of guy.
-
Wow..just wow. You know, if I posted this it would have been in the "What's bugging me" thread. I would have been very tempted to say, "Am I being recorded? Is this a prank?"
-
No intention at all of making this any type of political discussion...but people who wave political posters, banners, etc (regardless of who it's for - democrat, republican, whoever) on overpasses or near freeways, especially during rush hour or heavy traffic times. I'm not sure what upsets me more, the people who do this or the people who, for some reason, feel the need to slow because of this. Happened on the way to the Badger game today. As always the case, traffic cleared up as soon as we got past it....I don't get that at all. Are people really that easily distracted? They really need to slow down because of this?
