    That can't be true...the headline already is "A-Rod, Braun, +18 others..."

    How could the suspensions "go down" within a few weeks? Wouldn't that mean that the players have already been informed and are currently in the appeals process...since suspensions can't be announced per the JDA until the appeals have been ruled upon?

    I heard the 2013 June Draft class is very very weak. That 2014 is expected to be strong.

    When is the last time Gallardo actually beat another Ace? I can't remember the time. Gallardo...an ace he is not.

    Bravo TheCrew07...Bravo! This team has needed an Andrew Friedman approach for the past 3 years. Now the window is closing and instead of accepting that fact... they instead buy a bunch of expensive worn ceiling fans to continue to try to feel the cool breeze.

    Oh, I'm not anti Yuni in the slightest and it is a baseball discussion. I was shocked to learn as much time as he spent here and as much as he invested in being here to play baseball that he hadn't invested one bit in learning the English language. You supported the baseball discussion by taking it the direction I wanted it to go...that being his presence in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, his ability to communicate in baseball goes beyond the clubhouse. It extends to the media, to front office personnel, to umpires, etc. I'm not bashing Yuni for not doing so sooner, I'm just shocked. The same as I would be shocked if Aoki wasn't making an effort to learn the English language. Are there others in baseball speaking Asian languages? absolutely. Learning English can be nothing but positive. Again, if I was blessed with knowing I was going to play baseball in Japan for however long they'd have me, damn sure I'd be learning Japanese long before I left.

    I heard Melvin talking on the FSWI broadcast tonight that Yuni B is taking to the task of learning English so he can better communicate with his coaches and players. Really? Seemingly 8+ years of playing baseball in an dominantly English speaking country and just now he decides to learn the language? To each his own, but if I knew I was going to spend years working in China, for damn sure I'd take to task in learning Chinese (I realize there are other primary languages spoken in China) so that I could communicate with my colleagues. I found this quite comical to learn.

    Did JSONLINE break the news and drag Braun through the mud? No...it was OTL. OTL is the one who needs to be accountable and report it. A JSONLINE news article isn't going to have any sway on public opinion in the USA.

    April is over. Brewers would be hosting the winner of Pittsburg/SanFran in the Wild Card fluke 1 game thing. While I hate the 1 game playoff, I'd take it.

    "My hat is off to your unwavering faith in Braun. I don't know if Braun is guilty or innocent when it comes to taking PEDs, but this story certainly did nothing to help me believe he is innocent." I don't think it does either. But that's not the point of the last two pages. But what I would like is for ESPN to report the substantial news in that the accused made a bold statement to separate Ryan Braun from the players under his care. That is significant. Clearly he hasn't lived under a rock. Clearly he has access to media reports about his situation. The fact that he specifically would talk about Braun is an indicator of something? What is it, I don't know. I don't trust Bosch enough to know. But I do know this...ESPN and other media outlets, presumably by the orders of MLB have specifically taken Ryan Braun's name through the mud every step of the way despite evidence to the contrary. They had yet another chance to report facts, make said facts meaningful, in a neutral way at a minimum and failed to do so. I think that is all anybody cares about...guilt or innocence won't be proven until another positive test or a lifetime of clean tests.

    Is it me...or is Braun standing way off the plate this year?
  12. lcbj68c
    I would as well. The only concern is the entire black hole at SS in our organization. Atleast at 2B, we have the possibility of Gennett.

    Experiment with Weeks out of the 4 hole - 1AB, 1 K (at a ball in the dirt no less). FAIL
  14. lcbj68c
    I think WE, as fans, don't have confidence in Weeks. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Weeks himself has lost confidence. I think he's the same guy he's always been. It's a rough stretch sure, but I'd bat him 5th and put Maldo/Lucroy in the 4 hole.

    Ding, Ding, Ding!! Tell em what he's won, Johnny! I don't think the Brewers have "conditioned" me at all to expect, nor demand, a big ticket signing. I think they were content to do without any signing until injuries and lack of performance forced their hand. Money within the range and recent talent shown by Lohse was the motivator, not pre-season ticket metrics. The cupboard isn't bare, it's just full of junk food. And that isn't because we traded away opportunities to go the store.....it's just whoever has been going the store either forgot the list or doesn't know how to thump a watermelon!

    Is anybody else sick of seeing Kennedy vs Gallardo?
  17. lcbj68c
    To answer your "serious question"....Can you explain how your helmet and bat fly out of the stadium in fair territory? Maybe more appropriately....do you get any bases unawarded if you lose your balance after a swing? Do you get any strikes added to your count if you lose grip of the bat during a swing? Does it only count as a half of an out if you see 2 pitches in an at bat instead of 1? Are there international judges w/ placards ranging from 1 to 10 seated at table that will award us runs if the player's swing mimics something we see on floor exercise at the Olympics? Some stats are good, but at the end of the day, an AB is either successful or it isn't...everything in between including a graceful swing is just white noise.

    They fled faster than John Rocker from the 7 train.....

    I have never once seen Carlos Gomez "trot" the bases.
  20. lcbj68c
    I'll wait until the life of the contract to make a "the sky is falling" assessment. That said, I think Lohse is nothing like Suppan or Wolf. Those two were soft tossers who nibbled and nibbled and nibbled to death. Lohse goes after guys, throws first pitch strikes and doesn't walk guys ad nausem. I can live with the home run ball (remember Capuano?) just fine as long as a guy throws strikes.

    Wouldn't a Braun suspension be 100 games? Officially, that would be a second violation or a second positive test. I've heard that just because the suspension was overturned on appeal doesn't negate the violation or test and that any suspension would be 100 games. Though I can't find any decisive language in documents online or otherwise.

    As for Bud's statue, I'm not advocating vandalism, but a few placards attached to it might get the point across. Fluff that....I'm all for heading down to Gillies...hanging out for a few hours until the right time presents itself for their favorite customer to get a piece of my mind. Messing with his statue only sends a message to the Brewers...I'm all for going to the horses mouth.

    Spring BP?

    lcbj68c replied to lcbj68c's topic in Other Sports

    Yeah. Apparently any sniff of an early spring was nixed yesterday on the day of my arrival. It looks and feels like December out there. This is depressing! But Josh, we should get together, even if just for a brew or a game.

    Spring BP?

    lcbj68c posted a topic in Other Sports

    Anybody want to get together and hit a bit? I'll be in the area teaching in Oshkosh/Fondy all this coming week (Mon 3/23 - Sat) and also the first week of April (Sun - Sat). I'd also like to take in a game that first week if anybody wants to get together. ~Luke
