  1. "Miley has not won since May 10. The long ball has been a problem for him this year as he has allowed a whopping 16. His last time out, against the Astros, he allowed four runs on seven hits (two homers) in five innings" The blurb under Miley's photo for this game. "A whopping 16 times", yet there are some that have no problem with Estrada's number being 29. #perspective
  2. Lucroy could have just as easily grounded into a double play to end the inning and the D-Backs win the game. Ya, it was great that it happened but most of the time it won't. I doubt the Brewers would have handled it with as much "class" as they did had Lucroy not won the game on the next pitch. If AZ wins the game the Brewers probably come off looking more like the crybabies to everyone outside of Wisconsin. I completely agree. The context of the game is what made Lucroy's "conduct" a no-doubter. Is Lucroy going to throw his bat at the pitcher when it's a 1 run game in the 7th inning and the bases loaded? Of course not. I don't hold Lucroy in any higher esteem because he "exacted revenge" the "right way". Lucroy had no other choice but to swing the bat and try and win the game. Bringing it back to Machado, he didn't have any such context of the game to worry about. IIRC, it was an 8 run game or something close to that at the time. He tried to exact revenge in the physical sense and I personally don't have a problem with how he went about it. Eventually you get tired of being thrown at and after being the nice guy for a while, one can only say, "please, please, please stop doing that and "I'll ignore it and take my base with my head down" so many times.
  3. I thought most probables had Miley is starting tonight, but I thought I had seen on Twitter that it was Chase Anderson getting the call?
  4. Royals promptly into 1st place. 6/17/2014. Good for Ned & Dale
  5. Why doesn't it surprise me in a game that our pitcher has a sub 3.00 ERA vs their 6.00+ ERA that we'll get blown out? Just doesn't make sense, yet it always seems to go against the Brewers.
  6. I honestly don't see the ballyhoo over Segura's batting average. Not everybody on the team is going to be hitting .300. As long as he continues to play the defense that he has, I'm fine with him hitting .250. To answer the original question (why is he hitting .243 instead of .293), he's probably somewhere in the middle of those two numbers, talent wise alone. All of the circumstances listed above is how sometimes you get .293 and sometimes you get .243.
  7. Listened briefly to the game yesterday around the 3rd inning and thought I heard Joe Block essentially giving him a "pass" because most of them have been solo home runs? Solo home runs aren't a problem because only 1 man scores??!?!? Good Grief. Under that premise, it's great for my teenage daughter to "have relations" underage, so long as it's with a different boy every weeekend and not 4 at once! Jimmy Nelson seems to be a better option from this point, going forward.
  8. An ALCS MVP? I don't think the playoffs, specifically, are a problem. 6 years ago... That's kinda my point. Your lamenting about the playoffs for what? I'm worried about his performance in June, not October. The last time I saw him in October (with my own eyes in FL), he was dominant. I understand the concern for his performance at times this season, I just don't see the correlation to the playoffs.

  10. Not sure if you pay for Sunday ticket, but every year I just call and tell them I'm cancelling service and when they ask me what they can do to keep me, I tell them to give me Sunday ticket for free. I've never had them say no, at least not after talking to the right people. Yeah, Sunday Ticket subscriber for 11 years. I've never tried that approach, but I guess I will definitely be this year! Though if NFL.com would come up with a similiar product, I'd be all over that and just HDMI it from my laptop like I do with MLB.tv.
  11. I dont know what it is, but very frequently, it just stops working between innings and I have to refresh the link. Very annoying. And there are times when I watch the whole game after it's entirely complete and it inexplicably stops as well and I have to start the damn thing all over. Dragging it a certain point (say 1:02:36, for example) doesn't work.
  12. Ive only had consistent service on my phone or tablet with MLBTV. it gets choppy on the computer and Xbox Ok let me see if it works from my phone to my tv... why don't people upload it to watch for free like the NFL? paying for things in this day and age is unamerican! Pray tell how I can watch the NFL for free? I've had DirecTV for the sole purpose of watching Packers games in Utah for the past 11 years.
  13. .283 vs Brewers .296 at Miller Park Quite successfull, if not over the top .400
  14. something i learned years after i'd finished school . . . words of more than one syllable with double consonants at the syllable break have the syllable break between the two consonants. i'm not certain if there are any exceptions to this rule. thus, with your spelling of his four-syllable name, you should hear the 'l' sound at the end of the second syllable, and the 'l' sound at the beginning of the third syllable. but you don't hear both 'l' sounds when pronouncing his name correctly. you hear the 'n' sound at the end of the third syllable, and the 'n' sound at the beginning of the fourth syllable--making it double-n and thus, 'gorzelanny'. this tip has really helped me spell words and names correctly. Love it! Even after the correct spelling is pasted into the body, the title still gets submitted that way. Thanks for the drawn out grammar lesson, that made it worth all the while.
  15. Even better. Drill him in the kneecap and then throw over to first 6 times with a slap tag on his face every time. Love it!
  16. Tell that to Mickey Cochrane.
  17. I'm sure I'm in the miniority in that I DO NOT have a problem with Manny Machado's actions. Try to hit me repeatedly with a 90mph fastball, I'll try and hit you with a fling of my bat at 35mph, 60 feet away. Seems pretty fair. These pitchers think they are immune from retaliation. Maybe a few more bats flung at them will keep them from beaning batters. If I were the opposing team of a pitcher in the NL who beaned my guy, I'd walk that pitcher his next at-bat and then throw over to first about 6 times, with my first baseman applying a tag to his face about as hard as he could. That pitcher would never purposefully bean another guy again.
  18. He's shown the ability to figure it out before. Yeah, probably so.
  19. Get it that you don't like what the guy does on the mound. Is it necessary to repeatedly refer to him as a schmuck? Yeah, schmuck was about as mild as I could get and still comply with the posting rules.
