I absolutely hate the stupid sac bunt. You have a hot hitter sac bunt to leave it up to a bench player with little pop hitting near the mendoza line. Just a dumb call.
-
I get that it's going to happen sometimes, but it really aggravates me when a guy K's looking with a man on 3rd and 1 out. Especially in a tie game.
-
This has got to be easily the ugliest no hitter taken into the 6th inning in MLB history.

The Nicky Delmonico saga - We finally learn more
adambr2 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I'm also not a fan of the precedent it sets. If you don't want to be here, just don't show up? No, we gave up a good player for you and we expect you to honor your comittment to the organization. If you don't want to play baseball, retire. If you just don't want to play HERE, go about it the right way, come to work and do your job, and we'll see what we can work out with another organization down the road. But the way he went about it is crap. -
Popping up a 3-0 pitch is a cardinal sin.
-
I can't help but compare Villar to a young breaking out Gomez. Both 50 steal ability with enough pop to hit 15 or 20. Both play premium positions. Both are big threats on the base paths who also make some mistakes. Gomez had elite defense and Villar definitely doesn't, but Villar gets on base better.
-
Sounds like he hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities and isn't expected back until after the AS break.
-
Thank you Hill for bailing us out. Would have been really tough to come away with nothing after 3 walks. I normally don't put too much stock into 'clutch' stats, but Nieuwenhuis is so woefully bad with RISP. A .526 career OPS with a .179 BA with RISP. He should not be in an RBI spot in the lineup, ever.
-
He was #10 on his highest Pre-2011 list. Most had him at #14 or worse., Thanks. For what it's worth I don't know but maybe list graduations or his performance in 2011 bumped it up, so I was trying to remember where I was remembering #3; it was actually one of the last power 50s here. http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewPower50.do?power50Id=102

I think Komatsu was actually like the #3 prospect in our system at the time. But that might have been more of a statement of how bad our farm was at the time rather than a statement of how much Hairston cost.

Lucroy Trades/Proposals (part 3)

You take the free health insurance, I'll take a $34,000 per year pension and figure out my own insurance. Especially when I'd only be 3 years from qualifying for Medicare. Although they'd still have that insurance gap til that time after retirement, so I'm sure the health insurance is very meaningful, but I'd be curious to know it's real value. There are plans out there today that are virtually worthless other than fulfilling the legal requirement of insurance, but I doubt this would be one of them. Except the pension doesn't start paying until age 62 (I think). Do you really think $34,000 annual at age 62 trumps health insurance for 40 years? I don't. Unless Bernie Sanders somehow gets elected president. Again, really depends on the quality of the free insurance.
-
I guess. I just can't believe a guy can't score on that. I have to believe 95% of guys would have been sent on that regardless of the situation especially against a fairly weak arm.
-
I think he would've been out. Maldonado is really, really slow. Maybe, but I think you've got a better shot than the next guy reaching. If Bill is right and the only reason they didn't send him was because Braun was on deck, they should have sent him. Braun has been horrible in June.
-
Wow, really Eddie?
-
Broxton should either play every day or be DFA'ed. We know what he can do in AAA, either give him extended ABs to see what he can do in MLB or send him packing. There is no reason that the 2016 Brewers should have a player like Kirk Nieuwenhuis playing every day.

I think it would be even more positive if he lights it up enough before the deadline for us to dump him to someone else.

Found yet another way to lose. Great road trip.
-
Not much, maybe 1-2. I could see a 5 year extension after this season maybe end up being worthwhile, as long as he doesn't go the way of Peralta. But I have no problem if they want to go year to year either.
-
Isn't that kind of the point though? Taking a risk and buying low on a guy if you believe in him and think he's capable of more. Different situation and position, but that's exactly what we did with Gomez. If he puts together a breakout season he obviously becomes much more expensive at that point.

I've also had pretty good experiences with Directv. In most cases, I've found that getting what you want just boils down to talking to the right person. I've always just straight up said I want to cancel when my bills get too high, and I've never had a rep hang up on me for it. In most cases they'll get you to a 'retention specialist.' Some will bend over backwards to keep you, some won't, or say they can't. Usually if you push, and ask to speak to a supervisor, they often have more discretion in what they can allow. I'm always straight to the point in what they need to do to keep me, which is let me keep my discounts, and give me NFL Sunday Ticket for free. That worked for a long time, and when they finally refused, I switched to Dish. Stayed with Dish for 2 years, but when my bill shot up to 140 dollars with them, they wouldn't budge, saying I needed to have at least 8 years of service with them before they would work with me. Needless to say, there's no way I'm paying that much for that long. At that point, Directv was more than happy to welcome me back with a $63 monthly bill, free premium channels for 3 months, and free NFL Sunday Ticket, and a $200 VISA gift card. The companies really don't like customers who work the system like this, they prefer the ones that will cheerfully let their account autodraft for $150 a month for years. But I won't pay that much for television. So I'll keep making them treat me like a promotional customer if they want to keep me, and if they get to a point where they don't, that's fine. That will be my cue to switch to Sling TV.

We are who we thought we were. It's been a fun season for the most part, but our record is not 'too bad' because we've played well against inferior teams. A 10-23 record vs. winning teams shows how far away we are from the contenders. Which is fine. We were never supposed to be on that level this year anyway.

An RBI single to a relief pitcher with no career hits. Great work Marinez.
