  1. I do recognize his potential but at least at this point he's having trouble getting outs with his fastball. Still too early to draw any conclusions. Too bad they couldn't get Ryan Braun up one more time.
  2. Thornburg reminds me of Ben Hendrickson...nice curve, but a straight, flat fastball.
  3. I guess now that Rickie Weeks is back to the Mendoza line he can start getting IBBs again.
  4. Manny Parra is the kind of pitcher that will almost certainly show up in the all-star game if the Brewers ever trade him.
  5. My mistake, I was talking about the first round picks. The odds of getting a second round pick are much higher, although we are still most likely to be the odd team out.
  6. I'm not sure how the odds work but it seems unlikely that we will get a pick this year, probably 10-20% (maybe even less). We have the lowest odds out of any team on that list. Next year the odds will be about 50/50.
  7. Well it would at least be nice for them to have the chance to get eliminated in a one-game wildcard playoff.
  8. I feel for Royals fans, they deserve a winner. Even the Pirates and Nationals have good teams now.
  9. Braun robs Prince!!!! Never thought I would ever see that!
  10. Ultimately, it's about image and public perception. That picture from Selig shows it all...that's exactly how many people (especially in the media circles) think he handles MLB in general. If you think about the game rationally, like many in this thread have, it's stupid that everyone got so upset. But for those looking to blame Selig for broader problems in MLB it was a golden opportunity and they took full advantage of it. The Monday morning quarterbacking was crazy, especially since not a single logical alternate solution was proposed that would have given the game any more credibility than a tie.
  11. That was probably the low point in Brewers franchise history...or maybe it was Jose Hernandez chasing the strikeout record at the end of the year?
  12. It looked like the Bratwurst and the racing presidents. Meanwhile, Prince is putting on a show!
  13. I agree turboricky, still hasn't completely set in that he's gone. At least he's not up there in a Cubs jersey.
  14. John Kruk suddenly got really quiet after George Brett brought those ribs.
  15. A big fat zero. Prince survives to the 2nd round. The captain next year will probably think twice about not picking any NY players.
  16. Well, the Arizona fans don't look so bad now.
  17. To be fair, McCutchen took Stanton's spot--although McCutchen somehow has 18 HR this year. The field is definitely weak this year, it would have been nice to have Adam Dunn or Hamilton or both in there.
  18. I agree, the HR derby is always a good time. Bautista had a nice run with 9 outs.
  19. It was probably the front, but it didn't have any rain associated with it. Not sure what your location is but the lake breeze may have been working in tandem with the front also. The thunderstorms were associated with a separate disturbance. I wasn't paying that close of attention to the weather at the time, but it was probably a mid-level disturbance. Near the front, the atmosphere was capped (i.e. warm at mid-levels) which prevents thunderstorms from forming. The dry weather has also limited low level moisture, which further reduces the number and intensity of any thunderstorms that do form.
