  1. He was 14/17 over the last 3 games.
  2. 6-34 from 3, outside of Korver. Abysmal. Can't complain about 24-4 though.
  3. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/12/14/major-league-baseball-threatens-to-walk-away-from-minor-league-baseball-entirely/
  4. Just think what would've been possible if we hadn't traded Nowitzki for Traylor... No. Just no. Just stop saying that. It isn't true. NBA trades work differently. The trade was done. The Bucks never had Dirk, the same way Minnesota never had Ray Allen.
  5. All y'all is the plural of y'all. C'mon now.
  6. Taylor needs 325 yards to set the "official" NCAA rushing record. 200 yards will put him past Ricky Williams into 3rd all-time. Had he not had such a low total rushing against Minnesota, he might've actually had a shot, although Oregon's rush defense is pretty darn good.
  7. I'm not surprised given the OF the Brewers have put out there for two fly ball pitchers the last 3 seasons.
  8. I don't think he was misused. I think the utter decimation of the bullpen due to injuries and poor performance pushed him into a role he wasn't well suited for -- but given the state of the bullpen, he was the next man up for the job.
  9. The problem is that's based on 51 games of outfield defense which is a statistically meaningless sample size. I'm not saying he isn't a great CF, but no one is that good. He absolutely was that good in 2018. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-one-ball-keon-broxton-didnt-catch/
  10. Navarez: WP/Inning Caught: 54/816 = 0.0662 Murphy: WP/Inning Caught: 21/576 = 0.0365 So, he was 1.8 times worse than the other guy ON HIS TEAM in regards to passed balls.
  11. I mean, maybe they can just put turf in the 3 foot by 3 foot box Braun always stands in. That's the only really bad spot on the field.
  12. There is definitely a way to do it. Here is the basics: https://www.reviewgeek.com/11864/the-best-bluetooth-adapters-for-your-tv-stereo-and-speakers/ First you need to decide if you just want a receiver, or a receiver and transmitter - the difference in cost is about $20. I used to use this: https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Wireless/dp/B01KO1JNCA/ before I upgraded my setup. Did fine for my relatively small apartment.
  13. It really is simple. If you get hit by a car, most of the time you roll onto the hood and have leg injuries. If you get hit by an SUV, you don't roll onto the hood, you're much more likely to suffer internal injuries in your chest from the SUV grill hitting you or on your head from the pavement hitting you. https://www.curbed.com/2018/9/27/17909270/pedestrian-deaths-suv-car-design
  14. The day he showed up wearing a Giannis jersey, I was all in on team Moose.
  15. It's still the Hall of Fame. It shouldn't be about mediocre hitters who played forever. He substantially lowers the bar if he gets in (the same way Harold Baines did), there are 20 other SS's who should get in before him. Here's where he stands in the JAWS list: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/jaws_SS.shtml JAWS rewards peak excellence. And Vizquel didn't offer much peak. But he accomplished something that no other player in history did over the course of his/their careers. Nobody played more at shortstop than he did. Not Ripken or Ozzie or Aparicio or Wagner. I'm not sure that you need to dive deep into advanced stats after knowing that. He's #1 at a defensive position of importance. And he has more hits than everyone not in the Hall (with PED and Gambling exceptions). And he has more hits than lots of guys in the Hall. Because he played so long, his career looks different than a lot of players. Had he retired at 36, he wouldn't have compiled such impressive career stats, and wouldn't be a strong candidate. But because of his ability, and fitness and leadership and the character stuff that the voters use to keep some guys out, he kept getting roster spots long after age 40. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. But for some reason, we like to discredit compilers as somehow not earning their stats as much as other players. Baseball thought it was good to have him on teams in those later days, why not give him credit for it? So if Jason Kendall plays 3 more seasons he is a Hall of Famer? He would've passed Rodriguez for most games ever as a C. I'll give Vizquel all the credit in the world, but was he ever great? Truly? No. He wasn't. Not even for a season. He simply doesn't belong, the same way Jaime Moyer doesn't belong.
  16. It's still the Hall of Fame. It shouldn't be about mediocre hitters who played forever. He substantially lowers the bar if he gets in (the same way Harold Baines did), there are 20 other SS's who should get in before him.

  17. Ozzie was so much better than Vizquel. Ozzie put up 60 WAR from 1982 until 1992 and had 10 seasons over 5 WAR in his career. Vizquel had 1.
  18. Does 9 consecutive gold gloves count as a stretch of elite play? Elite defensive play, maybe. Not elite play. He had two (two) seasons with an OPS+ over 100. He had 5 full seasons where he had an OPS+ under 70. If Arcia won 9 gold gloves hitting the way he hit this season, would you think he was a hall of famer?
  19. Gets earlier and earlier every year, just like Christmas.
  20. 2nd best defensive rating in the league. They give up a lot of points because they play faster than any other team in the NBA. https://stats.nba.com/teams/advanced/?sort=PACE&dir=-1
  21. The Phillies just hired Crazy Joe Dillon as there hitting coach. https://www.thegoodphight.com/2019/11/21/20976408/phillies-hire-joe-dillon-as-hitting-coach I can't even. What a November day for Brewerfan.net
  22. The Bucks who were down in the 4th quarter to the 5-10 Chicago Bulls and the 2nd half to the 4-10 Atlanta Hawks say "Hurry back, Khris."
  23. I'm so sick of this. That woman had every right to sue and McDonald's was guilty of negligence. Anyway, back on point, I know I had to get my parents to sign a liability waiver anytime I played sports as a youth. I can't believe that a school district wouldn't do the same.
  24. There's a restaurant beneath the LF bleachers with a view out to the field. How would you remedy that situation? As for putting seats over the bullpen - just completely cut off the view to the field for anyone walking from RF to LF?
