Braun hasn't hit a fastball since early August.
-
Well, hopefully no more 4 pitch innings for the Cardinals.
-
It's always been that way is a terrible reason to allow anything to continue. Spousal abuse was commonplace and almost never prosecuted as recently as 40 years ago. Because my grandfather could hit my grandmother doesn't make it okay for me to hit my girlfriend.
-
Maas, I just want to say thanks for all of this. You are an amazing resource of knowledge
-
9 years in Milwaukee, 300 brewers games. Not one ball. Congrats!

They are trained to do this. Usually they will ask if you want it right away, but people buying a single package beverage almost always mean to drink it soon.

Random MLB News & Discussion 2014

Really? Guys, in general, are what they are when they get to MLB.... but when you see a guy with a 12% minor league walk rate suddenly completely stop taking walks at the MLB level.... you have to think it's the 'strategy' employed by the MLB team's manager and hitting coach.

Rain Delay? What?
-
You have Zack duke for that at bat. Bring him in!

Since there seem to be lots of questions constantly popping up about this subject, I wanted to attempt to round them up into one post.... http://m.brewers.mlb.com/news/article/71093468/brewers-slugger-ryan-braun-counterproductive-to-play-right-now Regarding the possibility of surgery: And a great article on what he's going through: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2014/8/28/6075061/ryan-braun-hand-injury-brewers

Thinking about this, I'm not sure RRR could pull him. I don't know that you can pull a pitcher in the middle of an AB (which it was, an 0-2 count to Stanton's PH). He obviously could've faked an injury (oh, my arm!) What really bothered me is he wasn't allowed any warmup pitches after a 20 or so minute delay.
-
Hit him right in the face. Very bad. Should pull Fiers now. Also, he did swing at that.
-
Germans? Forget it. He's rolling.
-
Should Parra be Playing Every Day? (Thus Bench Braun or Davis)
Baldkin replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
And since May 19th he has a .335 OBP and an .855 OPS. Whatever Narron did to him in Spring Training completely messed him up, and it took him 6 weeks go get back to his old self (of taking walks and hitting extra base hits) I'm fine giving Braun and Davis a day off per week and starting Parra vs RHP.... but Davis has been better than Braun at the plate since May. -
So he can only hit lefties if they are starters?
-
Metal Detectors - Required at all games starting 2015
Baldkin replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yup, and when I was there in late August, it was a piece of cake getting in. Quick and painless. Was it a sellout? After watching the ineptitude of getting fans into the gates on giveaway days (seriously, 1/2 of the time, the turnstyles are empty, because so many people bring bags to get checked) I can't imagine this will be efficient at all. It's also a complete overreaction, if someone wants to do something, they will find a way to do it. Metal detectors or not. -
Leaving, I saw a guy in a Mota jersey. The irony of it almost made me cry. Bases loaded no outs..... http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280824108

Come on Brauny
-
"Brad Penny with his longest outing since 2011."
-
Heard on the radio that he is now 3rd in the NL in extra base hits. Quietly having a very, very good year once he started ignoring Narron in early May.

It is, you're right. But Melvin should have pretty much known that Prince was leaving, and we were going to need another first baseman. Now, nobody could have known that Mat Gamel would blow out his knee--twice--but Gamel shouldn't have been the top first baseman in the organization entering the 2012 season. Melvin should have had a capable, if not spectacular, first baseman to take over for Prince. This is 2014 now, and he still hasn't found anything but stopgaps. That's three years he's had. He was able to get Zack Greinke, and CC Sabathia, even if they ended up being just rentals. But he couldn't find anybody for first base? Unlike a starting pitcher, who goes every 4th or 5th day, a first baseman is out there day in, day out. A first baseman is one of the most important positions in a lineup. He's supposed to be a big time run producer. Yet the total production from our first basemen the last three seasons has been near or a the very bottom of baseball. Hard to win when you are getting next to nothing offensively from first base. When I saw that Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds were the two candidates for first base in 2014, I literally laughed. Clearly you're forgetting Corey Hart in your summation, but it was a good summary nonetheless.

The entire team has been COACHED to be first pitch swingers. It's why Davis was so screwed up in April. Funny how he's looked much better since then.

Do the Brewers retire Gallardo's number?
Baldkin replied to paul253's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The only Brewers with retired numbers are Hall of Famers. So, if Gallardo makes the Hall of Fame, sure, they can retire his number. -
Well, I really think they only play 2 guards this year, and start Hayes.... which leaves Koenig coming off the bench (hopefully playing more minutes than last year). I think Dukan plays more, and Vitto Brown backs up both Hayes and Kaminsky.
