  1. Burke looks like the prize out of that. Hope it translates to the bigs when he arrives. DL Hall did provide some quality long, middle inning relief, and with so many other starting arms, I'd be fine if that was his role.
  2. I may catch an inning or two, but generally, I really couldn't care less. Baseball is a sham competition once the small market teams are duly eliminated. Best thing might be total domination by the Dodgers to show just how silly the unlevel playing field truly is. I would rather watch Brewers prospects in the AZ Fall League if I had access to it.
  3. I want a proven power hitter in his prime or no deal. That probably means … no deal, and that’s fine. They have too much youth already, and several solid prospects on the farm, don’t really need more multiple prospects.
  4. Humiliated to start the season. Humiliated to end the season.
  5. Quintana needs to put somebody on their can. They are way too comfortable in the box.
  6. Showing himself to be a big time player in the big games no doubt.
  7. That's the point, the teams aren't losing money. If the fans stopped spending money, it would force change. If the Marlins' only revenue source was from revenue sharing and absolutely zero from tickets, merch, concessions etc, they would fold as a team. MLB INC wouldn't allow the embarrassment of no fans in the stands for long, and the big market ownerships would eventually balk at sharing revenue with them. I know that's all pipe dream stuff, but that's the only solution. It would require fans getting balkanized in unison, which will never happen.
  8. There is only one fix to this. But enough fans won't do what is necessary. I got tired of the MLB economics even before the nightmare of the modern CBA's. I turned my back on MLB around the late 80's. Only saw passing headlines about the Brewers and state of baseball. Totally missed the other two NLCS series. Couldn't care less. I drew my line in the sand. Nothing changed. It actually got worse. I finally decided, if you can't beat them, might as well join them enough to enjoy the game again - that was just after the Hader trade I started following again. Imagine if millions of small market fans could muster the same determination all at the same time for even just a few years let alone decades. The big markets depend on the small market fans to fuel this nonsense. If small market teams went bankrupt from fan disinterest, it would leave MLB with about 7-8 teams. There is no way they make the exorbitant, inequitable revenues in that model that they do now on the backs of small market fans.
  9. This team has forgotten its identity as a small ball outfit that works counts, steals bases. All that team speed is being wasted.
  10. Make this guy throw some pitches. No more short at bats
  11. It’s only 1-0. Granted they’re getting length out of their Snell and we are chewing through relievers to keep it close. It’s on the bats to do something
  12. Make them make plays. They haven’t put small ball pressure on defenses for weeks
  13. If the hitters can’t tap into the energy that the arms have been giving on the mound, they don’t deserve to move on.
  14. Really need leaders to do leadership things at the plate
  15. Can’t use the team speed when nobody gets on. They haven’t put pressure on defenses consistently for a month at least
  16. You secured home field advantage for a reason. Make it count!
  17. Brewers doing Brewers things. It’s perversely comical
  18. Me too, but a baseball profession schedule is a different animal than most of us having 9-5 type gigs. At the end of the day, I knew I could fight through the commute, get home and be the supportive husband and dad. And I wasn't in a high pressure, uniquely athletically skilled job trying to hit 85-100+mph pitches with RISP on a regular basis.
