Full season since 02. This is the closest I've been to giving them up. There are tons of way to get cheaper tickets besides my "discount". The in-game "entertainment" is just boring. The games are taking forever. My favorite employee is no longer working there. It's a real toss up right now.

This is the Brewers franchise. I would be shocked if one managed one good year while in the blue and gold.

contact play vs. infield playing in
RightFieldCoder replied to Eddiehitsthefoulpole's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think the contact play is like the onside kick. When it works, it's awesome. But it usually only works if it is a surprise tactic you try maybe once a year. -

There's also a rule that the coach's must stay in the coach's box. It's one of the rules that: both sides violate, neither side complains that the other is violating it, So umps don't bother enforcing the rule. -
To be fair to Yuni, he isn't the worst player in 100 years. He's the worst to stay in the bigs. There have been plenty worse that didn't last in the majors. Yuni may be the dumbest person in Mensa, but you still have to give him a little credit for being in Mensa. He's also earned collected $15M in his career.

He never came out and said so, so I have no proof. But I saw him play. From personal experience (both watching other players and from my own degradation as a 3rd baseman), there were mental blocks that were inhibiting his ability. To clarify, he wasn't scared of getting hit by the ground balls he was scared of not making the play on the ground balls.

This is correct. Just to be exact, the rules are 172 calendar days on the 25 man roster equals 1 year. -
Byrd and Buck to the Buccos for class A 2nd baseman
RightFieldCoder replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
IIRC, the PTBNL can't have played in the same league as the receiving team. I don't think the Pirates would be allowed to give the Mets any player that has seen time in the majors for them. -
This is the same scorer that cost CC a NoNo.
-
C'mon Buccos. You need to sweep this series.

Braun was also scared of ground balls. He knew in his head he couldn't field them cleanly and get a throw off. That may have just been self doubt feeding itself through a horrible rookie season, or it could be that he can't hack the infield. People always forget about Hart's history. He wasn't a corner outfielder who successfully moved to first. He was a first baseman that was pushed to a corner outfield spot because we had a better hitting first baseman in the system. They tried 3rd for a while, but Hart couldn't play it well enough. Hart in the minors: 235 games in the OF, 179 games at 1B, 187 games at 3B. It shouldn't have been a surprise that he could play 1B last year.

I didn't express myself correctly. I didn't mean that I'm sure he's lying now or think he's been using since high school. He has lost all credibility with me so I just can't believe anything he says. Not because he told one lie, but the way he lied and went about his actions for years. When I said I wasn't mad I also meant "I don't care that he lied". I don't care about his trying to cheat except that he got caught and had to serve a suspension. But this is the perfect season to get suspended. I would gladly have all 25 members serve a year suspension next year if it meant a title today. I wore my Braun shirsey (without altering it) to a game this past homestand.
-
Braun is a liar. Once a liar, always a liar. I cannot believe this "admission" reveals the whole truth. There is nothing Braun can do to change my mind on this. The only way I'd believe him is if he got in front of a camera and admitted taking stuff since high school. Anything short of that (even if it is the truth) will leave doubts as to whether he is telling the truth. I would have believed the statement if it was released during the 11-12 offseason. Am I mad at Braun? No. What is to be mad about? He did nothing that could harm someone. He took a substance that is against MLB rules. What Bruan did is way better then the wife beater we used to have in the bullpen. What Braun did is way better then driving drunk and risking killing someone like our "ace". Where is the outrage for those two?

On Sunday a ticket scalper had a stack (had to be 100+) season tickets in his hand. The Brewer don't want him to come in right after the game starts and get $1000 in vouchers without making him work for it.

Looks like instant replay is expanding
RightFieldCoder replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The simplest and easiest way to do this would be one simple rule: If no one is on base, the batter cannot step out of the batters box, and the pitch must be delivered within 15 seconds. I came up with the idea of a pitch clock last homestand. It starts when the umpire signals the ball "in play". He will call this as soon as the pitcher gets the ball, or while the catcher has it and isn't getting it back quickly. This stops the defense from delaying the game. It counts down starting from 25. The pitcher can start his delivery any time after it reaches 20. The pitch is valid whether the batter is in the box or not, but he is still out if he hits it while out of the box. If the timer reaches 0, the ump calls a ball and immediately restarts the clock. It would change the pace of the batter/pitcher match up, but quickly speed up the overall game. -
I'll take ownership for that one. I don't think I've ever gone slower than 30mph on 43rd. But it is a street I only use ~10 times a year. What's bugging me is that for a second night in a row I didn't see my gate supervisor last night. I went back to ask my ticket taker where she was. During the road trip her doctor told her she had to take it easy so she retired. She was one of the best employees the Brewers had, and someone I considered a friend for the past 11 years. Miller Park will not be the same without you Jean.

Looks like instant replay is expanding
RightFieldCoder replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
MLB plans to expand instant replay in 2014 This might help the speed issue. No arguing about certain calls. Let's see if they keep up this pledge. So they're using the NHL model of using a centralized place to make the decisions. So we'll have two different types of reviews? Yeah, that makes sense. On initiated by the umpires and decided by the umpires, one initiated by the managers and decided by a replay center. So it's not a done deal yet. How many plays don't have base runner decisions attached? -
Cousell, Sheets, and Cirillo.

That's great until a position player sprains or strains something while pitching. Or an injury happens because the player is not used to having to cover first.

Player B has the same SLG as Player A without all of those hits. So he will be hitting more XBH than Player A. Will that drive in just as many runs to overcome those times he walks instead of hit? Player A: 500pa 335outs 145 1b 0 3b 20hr 0bb .330/.330/.450 Player B: 500pa 335outs 50 1b 1 3b 34hr 80bb .202/.330/.450 Player A has 80 more hits than Player B. How many come in a situation that makes it better than a walk? Does it counter the fact that Player B has more HRs that always result in a run? Every time Player B draws a walk, it guarantees at least four pitches during that at bat. You also can't defend a walk with a defensive gem. If forced to, I would say Player A is the better player. But I believe they are so close that it is really splitting hairs to argue about it. We can look at the OPS and see they are pretty equal, and that is what they are. You would have to use better (and harder to calculate off the top of your head) stats to really see who is better.

I think a lot of people forget how bad Braun was at fielding ground balls. Putting Braun at first would make me wish for Prince's defense back.
-
It wasn't just his Miami connection. He had an A-Rod connection (through Miami) before he was drafted. A-Rod probably mentioned Biogenesis once or twice to Braun. Or Braun simply came out and asked A-Rod about something to help him recover from injuries. That may be why he was unwilling to talk, he doesn't want to have to answer about how he got started on the stuff. I think Braun will talk if A-Rod loses his suspension and no longer needs cover.
-
[sarcasm]They did focus on the dealer. Didn't you hear that Conte and Bosch received lifetime bans? Both of their major league careers are over and we'll never see them put on a jersey again.[/sarcasm] Since the worst punishment MLB can hand out is suspensions, it would make sense that they only go after people they can suspend.

Usually they hand out one giveaway per ticket scanned. For the vouchers it is per person with a ticket. Sometimes groups have one person with the tickets and the rest of the group follows them in. The Gate attendants can then only give out one voucher. On Friday there were three of us with six tickets. We had to go in, collect three vouchers, leave the stadium, and come in through another door. I know some Gate attendants. They are being watched heavily and cannot deviate from this policy.

It could have been worse. Gorzelanny's first two starts in June were 12 inning pitched, no earned runs, and a 0-2 record.
