    Close but definitely safe.

    Another HR!

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get the catch probability from statcast?

    Worst pitch ever.

    Nice job Broxton!

    Perez looks like a liability in LF.

    Pirates look ready to put this one away early.

    Given the history of the Marlins, there's absolutely no way the new ownership could justify trading Stanton. None at all. It would be a PR disaster. They have to keep him.

    This is a huge problem here in Seattle...being a "dog friendly" city means we have entitled dog owners letting their poorly behaved dogs run free in every city park. One park in particular has a large fenced off-leash area, but even that doesn't stop people from letting their dogs roam free on the soccer field right next to the dog park. I have two small dogs myself that do not like it when aggressive (i.e. "friendly") big dogs run up to them when they are on leash. Recently someone's poorly behaved dog crossed a busy street to "say hi" to them despite the owner pleading for it to come back. As the dog approached I gave it a firm "NO" and it immediately turned around and crossed the busy street again, nearly getting hit by a car. The dog clearly knows what no is but isn't used to hearing it from its owner. I like taking my dogs on public transit and bringing them to work so I don't want the bad apples to ruin it for the majority of well-behaved dogs.

    Hearing the UW-Notre Dame series announcement got me excited for the upcoming college football season. It looks like the Badgers have a favorable schedule and should once again be favorites to win the B10 West. Northwestern and Nebraska seem like the biggest threats. Less than 3 weeks until the season starts...

    Sogard and Villar both look like they have stepped it up today. Competition does great things sometimes.

    The highest scoring game I ever went to was a 16-10 loss to Minnesota in 2006, the game that ended Ben Hendrickson's career (0 IP, 6 ER).

    Wow, the Brewers are willing to put down $70 million? If that's true, this will happen. Gilbert would be crazy to turn that down.

    Having never been to spring training, this discussion has made realize why the Brewers are still in Maryvale. The facility is mostly fine, slightly lacking in space and slightly outdated but otherwise fine. It even has some advantages compared to other facilities. The neighborhood is unappealing to the eyes and there is nothing to do nearby...but otherwise there is no evidence that it is detrimentally affecting anyone. Spring training isn't that profitable. The Brewers are definitely NOT going to get their investment back on a new facility, so there's no rush to move. Of course they will move if taxpayers are going to throw $70 million at the Brewers. If that doesn't happen, the Brewers will eventually spend their $20 million upgrading Maryvale and life will go on. Side note: Maryvale itself is a great example of the 'intangible' economic impact--suggesting that in some cases it may literally be zero. In the land of sprawl and highways, nobody has to spend money in any particular town and a spring training facility isn't enough of a jolt to spark activity.

    We all know what we're getting with Stearns this year, it seems like beating a dead horse to discuss it further. The more interesting point is that they will always stick to the plan, which means this thread might come up again in 2019 or 2020 if a hypothetical first-place Brewers team mimics the 2017 Astros and does nothing at the trade deadline. Presumably the Astros didn't make any trades for similar reasons--not willing to sacrifice the future even though they are the best team in the AL this year. This decision might end up being the right one for the long haul, but it didn't come without complaints including very harsh public criticism from Dallas Keuchel. It seems like the Astros went after Britton but found the price too high. In retrospect, the trade that the Brewers made for Swarzak would have looked great for the Astros, especially considering how well Swarzak has performed so far.

    Yikes...

    This team wins low scoring games now! Glad to see the pitching stepping up. Only 0.5 games back!

    The Cubs game was entertaining but now headed to another rain delay. 8-8.

    You can't compare the Rays and Marlins...completely different situations...the Marlins have major problems with the fans distrusting ownership. With the value of TV contracts, attendance is no longer a prerequisite to having a profitable MLB team. Loria is about to walk away with half a billion dollars in profit.

    D-backs back on top! 8-7! (pending video review)

    Cubs now winning. They are a completely different team now.

    Greinke is getting lit up also...I'm guessing the wind is just blowing out?
