I guess it comes down to what is statistically more likely throughout history, the odds of one of three straight .250 hitters getting a base hit vs the odds of plating a runner from third with one out. -
So they'll use other overhead cam for a play at the plate that wasn't close, but they can't go to it for that questionable pitch #5 to Lucroy? I would have appreciated seeing that angle. Nice job Luc ... but I think if that throw from the OF avoids the hop, they got Nori. It was a short throw, would have expected it to hit the C on a fly.

Hate the bunt attempts once Aoki was already at second. Would much rather have three hitters go up there looking for singles than waste a batter on a sac and have the next hitter up there thinking sac fly. The sac bunt didn't materialize, but it did squander strikes early in the count. Gomez looks slower between home and first lately...

looking for an opening day magnet schedule
valpocrewsader replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I have an extra magnet from Opening Day. If anyone wants it, PM me and I will mail it. -
All games at Sijan Field #2 May 16 - (Away) White House - 6:30 May 23 - (Home) Bang! - 7:30 May 30 - (Home) Airport Lounge - 6:30 June 6 - (Away) Club Carnival - 7:30 June 13 - (Home) Dysfunctionals/Monkey Bar - 8:30 June 20 - (Home) White House - 7:30 [PPD] June 27 - (Away) Bang! - 8:30 July 11 - (Away) Airport Lounge - 7:30 July 18 - (Home) Club Carnival - 8:30 July 25 - (Away) Dysfunctionals/Monkey Bar - 6:30 NOTE: The schedule skips the week of July 4th since Independence Day falls on Thursday ... no game that week. Home = Third Base Bench For good measure, below is the official schedule from the rec department. Should be the same if I didn't make any errors. PDF: http://www.milwaukeerecreation.net/adult-sports/softball/schedules/mens/MS-385.pdf ** MAKE-UP DATE ** Aug 1 - (Away) Bang! - 7:15 (same field ... odd time due to squeezing in four games ... link)

Also, I attended annual manager's meeting last week. It sounds like they're planning to implement a mat system for the strike zone, and even plan to expand the zone by including the plate and making the mat behind the plate wider than the plate itself. They will also be doing bat compression testing again this year ... they said something about changing the threshold slightly, but I didn't catch whether that made the test more strict or less strict ... it sounded like a minor change either way. I think that's it for important stuff. We also got our schedule, which I'll post in a separate thread.

Below is latest look at the roster. 12 guys is just about perfect, but it wouldn't hurt to have one or even two more. 01. valpo 02. Kenny / bball 03. radman 04. Houlie 05. Beeks 06. Al (?) 07. nullbyte 08. Drick 09. Schubert 10. Jon 11. Aaron 12. RightFieldCoder / Robin19

2013-03-29 Chicago White Sox at Brewers ; FSN
valpocrewsader replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Archived Game Threads
I've watched about 90 minutes of preseason Brewers baseball this spring, and Weeks has managed to have two terrible, boneheaded errors in that narrow timespan. I just can't stand his defensive crappiness. -
The Kyle Lohse Love/Hate Thread
valpocrewsader replied to Matt Breen's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Excrement! My personal nightmare continues ... it's unbelievable. I was excited to FINALLY have a season where a ticket to a game, or tuning into a game, didn't mean a 1/5 chance of seeing some lame, overpaid, old-fart, sad-sack bum pitcher on the mound like Suppan or Wolf. Holy bloody crap on a stick, I cannot escape this hell. Doug just can't help but swoon over mediocre, no account pitchers who are over-the-hill and coming off a career year. Makes me want to scream and swear so badly. Now three years of this goon wasting space and wasting money. $33 million. I just don't believe it. What an embarrassment. What a pathetic and desperate move. What a joke of an organization. EDIT: Oh my god, we sacrificed a mid-1st round pick to sign this expensive, aging, pedestrian non-entity??? Inexcusable. This truly is a joke. -
I guess I'm in the minority, this deal stinks. This is terrible bang-for-our-buck considering other options. Just an example of being foolish with money. The guy can't even get on base. $8 M per year for three years? The more I think about it, the more it ticks me off. A complete waste within the confines of our budget. Complete waste.

Glad to have you back, robin19!

So, you're a Brewers fan, and probably hate the Cubs and their d-bag fans like any self-respecting Crew fan would, and you're probably a Packers fan and hate the Bears and their d-bag fans, but you're proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with those same d-bags and root for their Chicago hockey team? That's unconscionable. I could never, ever stomach that.

The wife and I just signed up for NHL GameCenter so we can watch Predators games online on the Android tablet. Only $49.99 for the season, seems like a pretty good deal. EDIT: Boo Blackhawks.

If I may piggyback on the bump, my wife and I are in the process of planning a northern California trip and could use any input anyone has. We need to be in the Sacramento area for a family reunion in June, so we're thinking about flying into San Francisco a week early, spending one or two days seeing sights like GG Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, etc, then driving out to Napa/Sonoma/Whatever valley for a couple days of wine country. We're also considering a Reno or Lake Tahoe excursion after we've made our stop in Sacramento. ...Then ultimately fly out of San Fran to come back to WI? If anyone has any thoughts, I'm all ears...

JimH5, it should work fine if you click the little "broken page"-looking icon up by the URL to put the browser into Compatibility View. I noticed the same Forbidden / 500 Internal Server Error issue a couple weeks ago and forgot to mention it on the Issues & Events forum once I was rolling with Compatibility View.

I got confirmation from DRick and Schubert, so we have a pretty good start. Renewal is due by the middle of this week, I'll get that done and report back. 01. valpo 02. Kenny / bball 03. radman 04. Houlie 05. Beeks 06. Al (?) 07. nullbyte 08. Drick 09. Schubert

Since interest is low and I've had some other things come up for this weekend, let's postpone and put something together for another time.
-
Any interest in getting together somewhere this Saturday night? Make an appearance at White House? If not this weekend, we'll have to do something one of these upcoming weekends...
-
Kenny! Awesome, welcome back!
-
Gentlemen... The rec department has sent out the league/renewal information for the 2013 season. We have until mid-February to sign up. Do we have enough interest again this year? Since I know many of you will not see this post, I'll try to get the word out via text in the coming days. Roll call... 01. valpo 02.

>> Rome & take-writers Stev Czaban has mentioned it before on the Bob & Brian show ... in the context of the Rome radio show, not just TV. I tend to believe him, but it's based on little more than blind faith ... Czabe just seems like part of the family after so many years on B&B, so I trust him, and Rome seems like just the kind of arrogant doof that would build a career on the shoulders of other people's work. It's funny to see the love/loathe comment about Rome, about him being polarizing, since I consider myself totally indifferent to him. When the wife and I take roadtrips we listen to a lot of sports talk radio and we seem to always catch his show. I could take it or leave it. I could probably never listen to it daily, his schtick grinds my gears a little too much, but my reaction wouldn't come close to hate. It's fascinating that there are no mega-popular national sports talk shows out there. You look at the top 20 or so most listened-to national radio shows and you see formats that are political, financial, news, shock-jocks, and other odds and ends. Seems like there's a void ... like a market ineffiency ... for one or two dominant sports programs in the top dozen or so radio shows. Someone needs to step up.

You're assuming we'll be trading a semi-respectable prospect for a highly-skilled (but cancer-ish) MLB starter in his prime? That would be intriguing for sure, but it seems to be an awfully specific and optimistic asumption to make. Not trying to be confrontational, just genuinely curious as to what kind of deal you think is out there to land us a quasi-difference maker like Morgan.

How good does a triple-A park need to be? As long as the field itself is up to AAA standards and the players aren't markedly distracted with terrible amenities, what's left to worry about? If fan attendance was the concern, the market should take care of that -- either it's profitable at the gates or its not, how much should the parent club care about that? When I was at Greer stadium this past summer, I never thought twice about the facilities. Sure, it's not hard to believe -- at all -- that other AAA parks are newer, bigger, better, but the stadium was nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I thought it was a pretty great all-around MiLB experience.

Damn, I would have loved this. Always wanted to see Haren in a Brewers uniform, and only a 1-year commitment? Sign me up. Would have brought some nice stability while we feel out the young guys next year. Please, please, please no 2 or 3 year deal for a guy like Dempster or Dickey....
