Posted at literally the exact same time! -
Lots of hard hit balls in the 1st.
-
Huge win.
-
Schwarber is the last guy I want to see at the plate here.
-
82? Maybe it was 80, maybe 90. We'll find out after the game I suppose. At least Swarzak managed to not blow the entire lead.
-
Suter probably hit his pitch limit. If so, there was no decision to be made.
-
Maybe facing a lefty is the solution to the offensive woes.
-
Yep, nothing really changes unless there is a sweep in one direction or the other. Otherwise they just move a game up or down.
-
Maybe Counsell could try positioning the outfielders beyond the outfield walls?
-
I think it depends on the type of class. I took notes on the iPad with a stylus for most of graduate school using the Notability app. I liked that I could record the lectures and go back later to re-listen to important parts. These classes included lots of mathematical derivations and diagrams so it was much easier to write with a stylus than type. The notes came out very pretty, much better than paper. If my classes did not include math I might have been more inclined to type the notes.

Curse of the PNC 4-game sweep.
-
The main thing is that you want ones compatible with a "smart" stylus which makes note taking a million times easier. I think the 'mini' size would be too small for note-taking. Otherwise it probably doesn't matter much unless he strongly prefers Apple products. The note-taking apps are available across iOS and other platforms.
-
Depending on when a trade happens, maybe not even Craig Counsell yet! At first I thought this was implying that Counsell himself might be traded, which reminded me that I think Sal Bando once tried to trade Phil Garner to the Orioles. Does anyone else remember that or am I making it up?
-
Both Brinson and Braun in the lineup...haha.

The ESPN hit tracker estimate of 432' is reasonable. That's still very impressive, especially for a HR hit down the line. Based on their charts, the ball hit the stands approximately 370 ft from home plate. See here: http://hittrackeronline.com/hrdetail.php?id=2017_3747 31 degree elevation angle is too high to get a 450 ft HR. Most of the 450+ ft HRs have a launch angle closer about 5 degrees lower. Note that many of the statcast estimates are BS...for instance that Broxton HR in St. Louis was something like 50 ft overestimated compared to the ESPN hit tracker (which is far more accurate than statcast because the methodology is better).
-
Just saw it on Twitter (Jon Heyman). No word on details yet...
-
Hitting the glove 2" off the corner drives me insane. Can't wait until the robot umps remove that garbage from the game.
-
A Cubs team that just sent away a group of top prospects in response to the Brewers' success. If the Brewers stick to their plan, the pendulum will shift sooner than you think. That's why 2017-2018 are irrelevant for the Brewers. I have no expectations going into 2018, it's already wonderful that we don't have to watch a 90-loss team while we wait for the prospects. I expect Stearns will gather another band of misfits for spring training and maybe a couple of them will work out.
-
It would be a real bummer if Verlander vetoes the (hypothetical) trade. This isn't a temporary move, he's going to be stuck in Milwaukee for a few years.
-
Verlander and his salary is worth a bag of baseballs. We would be doing the Tigers a tremendous favor. We also might be the only team in baseball willing to do this and it might be their only chance to get his salary off the books. I think players and salary will be involved since it would look bad for the Tigers to send him over for nothing. I'm all green light if Mark A wants to spend the cash. Get it done and get Verlander in there against the Nationals next week.
-
So this is the third time that a Brewers team win a winning record has experienced a 4-game sweep at PNC in June or July. The first two times they lost 90 games.
-
They could dump 10 games in a row and still be in the wild card hunt. It hurts to lose these close, winnable games though.
-
Sure would have preferred a strikeout to that GIDP.
-
Villar...wow.
-
Marlins trade David Phelps to Mariners for 4 prospects
owbc replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Should be a fun 4-5 team chase for the two AL wild cards. On paper the Mariners should have the edge but they can never seem to put it all together.
