    I have never been a Villar fan.... even in 2016 when his numbers were impressive. The mental errors and shaky defense were just too much for me to give him a free pass. So seeing him currently sit the bench frequently, ala September 2017 when CC ultimately went with Walker and Sogard, begs to question if his days are numbered. I'm sure others want Sogard, or even Perez, to be first to be shipped out, but I see CC valuing Sogard more because of contact ABs, walk ability, and solid D opposed to Villar's K's and errors. Perez's versatility keeps him around longer, as well. With Dubon hitting well in AAA and other veteran FA 2B yet signed, I don't know why Villar is still here, especially when CC seems to not believe in him. Even if one argues that Villar could be a quality bench player, I don't see it.

    What's this about? Brewers fans not being particularly good fans..... selling out to Cubs fans..... giving the best seats in the park to the enemy.

    I trust that you attend every Cubs at MP if you're going to talk this black/white about it. One a year.... in proportion to other Central teams. I go to 10 or 11 games a year. I have tickets in the Loge bleachers for the next Cubs game in June. Not going or selling to Cubs fans are two different things. Not going= Brewers fans might get the seats. Selling to Cubs fans= the deed has been done- you're part of the problem of giving away the BEST seats to a division rival team. And that is the issue.... Miller Park Cubs games. It is a problem. As is now, many Brewers fans stay away from these games for various reasons. Selling= the ticket can be bought by anyone, including Cubs fans. You have no idea who buys it. Not buying= the ticket can be bought by anyone, including Cubs fans. You have no idea who buys it. By not buying every game and valuing your money over it must mean you're fandom must be in question. You be the sellout. I'll be the cheap skate. Both of our fandoms are in question. Better? I'm fine with mine. You?

    https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/2018/04/30/packers-fan-sues-bears-hires-lawyer/563997002/ Bears won't let season ticket holder wear Packer garb on field for pre-game. Don't like the Bears at all, but I agree with them. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are the Brewers fans looking to get rich hawking tickets to get more Cubbies in the keg.

    Woodruff probably going down, although letting Drake go is my long shot.
  7. rickh150
    This nails it. They're going to go anyway so it's better to make some money off them. That said, the idea earlier about some kind of discount that proves you actually used your tickets would be a better idea than what they tried this year with the early buy period. That was for sure not going to change anything. If the Brewers really want to get more Brewers fans thru the gates, it can be done instantly. Group leaders could be given discounts to take their "usual" groups to the game. The Brewers don't want to lose that $, however.

    Oh, I'm not the biggest Brewers fan. There are plenty of people who follow the team more closely, go to more games, yearly travel to spring training, go to Brewers on deck, listen religiously to Uecker, keep score, read everything Brewers on jsonline, and spend more at Miller Park. So, no, I am not trying to position myself as a better Brewers fan than most. I just can't fathom why we as a fan base want to give Cubs fans a foothold in our park when we could just keep our tickets and make a better (not perfect) home field advantage. I'm tired of people trying to justify their selling and then try to rationalize why being a sell out is the smart thing to do. These don't go hand in hand. Either you sell out, get more $, and your fandom is in question, or you keep the tickets and cheer your butts off for the good guys, and you're less rich.

    Funny how when I do similar examples, I get accused of being unrealistic.... I'm game, though. I'd probably take the money. I'd be richer, life changing richer. I'd definitely be a worse fan, however. A complete sellout.

    Brewers record (non Cubs) 15-6 Brewers record (Cubs) 1-6

    He can talk to me for a couple of tickets to Brewers vs Cubs at Miller Park, which I'll promptly sell to Cubs fans. I talk to my wife about Cubs fans in Brewers clothing all the time.... especially ones on brewerfan that disguise loyalty in name only. Respectively, you sir, appear An unashamed sellout...money before loyalty. Then again, I'm not telling you anything you don't know already. A good, opportunistic capitalist..... seemingly lousy fan. If not, what distinguishes you from being a sellout? Enlighten me. Make joke of me as you may. It is a problem for a fan base when scalpers talk down fans who apparently threaten their side cash gig or hurt their phantom team spirit. The silent majority of Brewers fans wants more Brewers fans at Miller Park for Cubs games, and having Brewers fans keep their tickets is step one. We need any advantage we can get against a division foe. Brewers record against everyone but Cubs....... 15-6 Brewers record vs Cubs....... 1-6

    Complaining about the Brewers games tonight, especially about losing to the Cubs. My wife said, Boy, that chip on your shoulder is getting bigger." I said, "Yep." Cubs are the enemy, rival, leader of division, whatever. Their fans are idiots, nearly the whole lot, but they get credit for showing up, paying big bucks to see baseball, etc. I simply want Brewers fans to Be fans and not scalpers who sell their soul to make a buck. It's a black eye for the organization when our best fans ... check that..... largest spending fans take more pride in getting best value for tickets than showing up at home games or even seeing to it that their tickets get into Fellow Brewers fans' hands. That being said, if they won 3-0 today, no way would I be posting this.... just the chip is getting bigger.
  14. rickh150
    Guess all you scalpers are happy.... Cubs winning! Prices sure to rise for your June tickets....

    Sogard had a .380 OBP last season. I think Stearns saw that and didn't think he could find a better player for a cheaper price. Even if he is stinking now, his glove is an upgrade over Villar, and if you need a pinch hitter to JUST MAKE contact, he's a top the list....
  16. rickh150
    I like Sogard. He's in a funk now (like Santana). He had some bad "luck" on hard hit balls, and his d is still solid, even with the error FridAy. He'll be better. I will changevmy tune in June if he doesn't come around. Villar is the one that cannot be trusted In the field or on the bases.
  17. rickh150
    Probably this, but a DFA to Drake could be it too. He'd probably slip thru waivers.
  18. rickh150
    Cockiness does not equate to optimism..... Be confident and optimistic, sure.
  19. rickh150
    Sad news.... Seemed like a genuinely nice guy... humble. I remember that he said it was easier for him to steal off a lefty than a righty.... never heard that before from anyone.
  20. rickh150
    Great series! Stay humble, Brewer fan.

    I see Miley getting a shot in the rotation with Suter going down. Miley has no options and it is very Brewery to squeeze more starts out of him to preserve depth. Guerra is in the rotation to stay... well, he has at least three guaranteed starts. Woodruff is knocking at the door.... wouldn't be surprised to see him in a long man bullpen role with Drake being sent down or sent gone... Anderson, Davies, Chacin, Guerra, and Miley Long man Woodruff
  22. rickh150
    Santana is a very good player. He'll hit for a fairly high average, take his walks, get his HRs, and play middling d. He'll come around, just like he did last year. Treating him like a bench player would be a mistake. Getting him four or five starts a week will get him going.
  23. rickh150
    We are not watching the same player apparently. Villar is the same player as of last season, minus the benching in September. I would like Sogard to play everyday until he proves that he can't. If we could give him half the rope Villar has for some reason gotten, I'd be thrilled. Sogard gets on base more, takes more pitches, makes better contact, walks more, plays better defense, and runs the bases better. He does play defense better. That's true. Right. Along with the rest.... How about letting Sogard (and Aguilar) actually get comfortable in a starting role and spot in the line-up? I don't understands how people just want to give his at bats away to Villar of alll people. It's like 2017 never happened.
