About time we get another brewer fan in the office!!!

I think it is pretty much unanamous the Pujols is the best hitter in baseball, maybe not best overall player but certainly best hitter. There is really nothing that Mauer does better than Pujols at the plate. Pujols strikes out less, walks more, hits for a higher average with more power and even steals more bases. When some is having the best year they have ever had, then they are infact by definition having a career year, like Mauer this year. Why does being a catcher prevent him from hitting .400? If anything, it may help him a little bit because the days off give him fewer ABs making it easier to hit .400. It is easier to hit .400 over 500 PAs than 600+PAs just because it is difficult to keep that high level of play up for a long time. Simply because of the wear and tear on his body. If Mauer ever moves to first base full time he would be my bet to be the next 400 hitter.

Mauer is the best hitter in baseball. And he isn't having a career year, he already won a batting title, the only thing keeping him from hitting .400 is being a catcher

Harper may not even be the first pick next year...Jameson Tallion has a chance to be the first pick next year

I don't think Brewer fans and MLB fans realize how close CC was to resigning with the Brewers, if it was a little closer in $ he would have resigned

This is how I like my owners!!

Didn't that ball fly out of play? Which would mean that he had to stop at second base, plus if it didn't go out of play a defensive player is going to go get the ball and call time before he can advance to far.

And both of the home fields are "hitter" parks...Yovanni is a Cy Young in the making

I am not talking about a beanball war, after the warning somebody has got to bite the bullet and get tossed, if it is handled correctly, you have a little used reliever suspended 3 games (as long as he doesn't go at the head) and pitchers start thinking twice about coming inside to much. Ok, Bad example to use YO, but if Suppan would have drilled somebody, he would be the most popular guy in the clubhouse.

Last time I checked the Stats for Braun he had 0 innings pitched in his Professional Career, and if YO would have drilled somebody he would be the most popular person in the Clubhouse!

I am sorry to disagree with everyone who takes the approach that they don't want retaliation, sorry but if we don't retaliate we will have a hitter hurt because they are going to keep on getting drilled. All it takes is one good fastball in the back, get tossed and say..."hey we are not going to allow pitchers to continue to hit Braun and Fielder square in the back" We risk a more serious injury by allowing opposing pitchers to drill Braun and Prince than if we retaliate and try to stop it!

I know he is not with the brewers any more but Ben Sheets has a page and I know for fact I know it his him!

Speaking of Ueck, does anybody have a link to his HOF speech? Thanks in advance!

Any chance you can post it on youtube?

Wes Helms? Bud?
