    No politics. There have been multiple warnings in these threads previously. Any additional political commentary will result in appropriate time off.

    I think that's why you'd look to trade him AFTER the 2021 season, not now. If you're even interested in trading him at all.

    I think you can be both sad that Lucroy's career cratered almost immediately after leaving the Brewers while being immensely relieved that it didn't happen after signing a massive 2nd extension with the Brewers. For the griping about Braun's 2nd extension, he was largely productive for most of it. A massive Lucroy deal would have been franchise-destroying.

    As it has been pointed out before, literally no one has said that. Back to the vaccine supply question, if you're eligible in the current wave in Wisconsin and haven't scheduled yet, it sounds like there's a lot of pharmacy availability from Walgreens, etc. For example, I have a friend from way back in HS who was at a Walgreens for something else and thought to check with the pharmacy to see what their availability was that day (last weekend), and got a shot literally on the spot. If you're waiting because you think others with more serious conditions should have an opportunity, they've likely had the opportunity at this point.

    I'm certain that was at least an option that they've considered over the past year, and one that will be heavily considered 10 months from now if Rodgers has another MVP-level season.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Yep. And the parking lines don't move that fast. You're often stopped for long enough to open an app. It's probably no more risky than someone digging out their wallet while going through the same line and getting bills out. I understand that people are resistant to change, but this concern is a stretch, IMO.
  7. PeaveyFury
    They have already announced it will be a thing. So now instead of catching COVID giving money to a cashier everyone will pile into a line and touch an ATM type machine in even more concentrated fashion. Why would that line be any different than the actual concession line?
  8. PeaveyFury
    I can't agree with this. The time to find your wallet is the same as to find your phone and then after that it's: grab cash vs. unlock phone + wait for phone to load + find app + wait for app to load + find ticket in app... not to mention hope your internet is good + hope your phone hasn't died + hope you haven't been logged out of the app for some reason, etc.... Fair point, though I think you're seriously discounting the size of my mother in law's purse and her ability to find anything in it. Obviously, there will be those that are completely unable to deal with the change. But I'm betting that on the whole, the time to get a lot parked and people through parking lines will be shorter. I'd assume the Brewers have done some analysis on that as well that comes to that conclusion.
  9. PeaveyFury
    Disagree..... although getting change for a twenty seemed to take a crazy amount of time for some of the parking attendants. You have a valid point. If you mean for this initial rollout period, I'd agree that it'll take longer since people don't know the deal. But, all the more reason to do it in a limited capacity setting. Each batch of fans can learn the new process without it being a 'parking lots overflowing'-type situation, making full capacity that much smoother. But after the initial rollout, it'll be much faster. No cash exchange with change, etc. And those that fumble around with the app when they get to the parking attendant at that point are probably the same people that don't start looking for their wallet until they're at the attendant either...
  10. PeaveyFury
    There is no way that some people fumbling through the app can take longer than the old way of many/most people paying with cash. Absolutely no way.
  11. PeaveyFury
    Seems a reasonable compromise. I believe the Badgers still allow sealed water as a carry-in, for football at least.

    In addition to what Machu noted regarding preventing infection, there is widespread speculation (and possibly some emerging data to support it, I just haven't had a chance to look it up recently) that it reduces viral load which reduces the possibility of spreading it. The CDC has relaxed 'mask guidance' in some situations due to this concept. But, as to the current spikes, I think it's accurate to assume that infections will spike but that deaths and hospitalizations may not since the vulnerable have had some opportunity at this point to receive the vaccine. Purely my own speculation, but I think the current spikes are a factor of winter letting up and populations becoming more mobile as a result, along with some fairly widespread 'letting your guard down,' as you noted. Plus, the populations who have never taken this seriously still not taking this seriously.
  13. PeaveyFury
    Thanks, that one wasn't on my radar! I've also heard good things about Six Feet Under, but the concept seems odd. Can anyone vouch for it?
  14. PeaveyFury
    So I've made it through the rest of The Wire and half of Breaking Bad (yes, I'm perpetually late to the game on shows). Big fan of Bad, and it's one of those shows (like The Wire) where it feels impossible to turn it off after only an episode or two each night. Any reason not to jump right into Better Call Saul next? Alternately, I've got a promo deal for HBO right now. Any other HBO shows beyond those I've seen (Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire, True Detective, Boardwalk Empire) that are worth my time next?

    People in Wisconsin voluntarily get gas at places other than Kwiktrip? /Half Blue

    Has the BP promotion even existed for the past couple of years before the pandemic? I honestly can’t say that I’ve seen it advertised in years.
  17. PeaveyFury
    ‘Spend more money on players. I don’t care if you lost money last year.’ - fans ‘How dare you charge me fees for the right to view your product and use your services!’ - same fans, probably. I get the reluctance towards change. But it’s inevitable. It’s like the people that still write checks at the grocery store. Some day soon the grocery stores will stop allowing that. And people will complain, then adapt and forget about the old way completely in a few years.

    Overhead. No mailing costs. No printers to print tickets. No people running those printers. Etc.

    I somehow doubt Barry is done with college sports. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's doing some sort of gameday analyst thing in the near future.
  20. PeaveyFury
    You certain you didnt accidentally buy two? I think this is a fair word of caution- it seems so easy to 'double add' something to an online cart and not notice. I'm assuming you double-checked the total prior to checking out, but if you haven't looked back, it might be a good idea!
  21. PeaveyFury
    I think that's a better way to put it. But, if I'm understanding your view correctly, you seem to be implying (and I could be wrong) that they're doing this by choice. My point is that it's impossible to know whether it's a choice not to, or that they've never really had a contract they want to get out of where the player is still valuable to some team. Most of their albatross contracts have been to players that are toast by the time the contract is actually viewed as an albatross.
  22. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, you’ve been paying per ticket processing fees (AND mailing fees for paper tickets) for YEARS.
  23. PeaveyFury
    Just as in the olden days of 2019 one would get out their prepaid parking pass or cash, so its ready to go when they get to the front of the line, now in 2021 one will pull up their parking pass on their phone, so its ready to go once they get to the front of the line. HA! you think people will be ready when they get to their turn in line? LOL That is rich! People are freaking stupid, you have to take that into account. 90% will, the other 10% are the same ones who wait in line at a fast food place, and when it's their turn, they begin to look at the menu to decide what to order. That 10% will slow things down in a major way. This isn’t new or technology dependent, though. You’ve historically got the people that wait in the line at the gate and get to the turnstile before they start digging for their paper tickets. That 10% is there literally no matter what format you use.
  24. PeaveyFury
    Ok, Randy Wolf and his 49 MPH curveball, then. Point is, the Brewers have rarely had a contract where A)they desperately wanted to get out of it, AND B)there was value in that player at a lesser dollar amount, so I'm not sure you can assume or read anything from their past actions. Yeah, they don't include cash in trades. But they also really haven't traded off a bad contract before.
  25. PeaveyFury
    Though the Brewers haven't included cash in trades, they've been content to pay players to stay home. The line between the two is virtually non-existent, IMO. Perhaps that's a function of not having players with terrible that other teams were even willing to take on by the point the Brewers were willing to move them (Suppan, Lohse, Garza, etc)?
