I'm going to guess part of the equation here is if the Brewers hope to win this year, they figure winning may calm Morgan and make him less prone to outbursts. As the old cliche goes, winning cures everything. Morgan has been on some terrible teams and that probably factors into some of his outbursts, or at least the Brewers hope so. He's an upgrade over Boggs, can play all three OF positions, and adds an element of speed off the bench. The bench still seems to be devoid of a true power threat, but Morgan's acquisition is helpful.

I looked for a thread about this, but didn't see one. Per this article and the Bypass Lane website, Miller Park is launching the Bypass Lane program where fans can order concessions via their smartphones starting Opening Day. Apparently if you download the app on your capable smartphone and enter your credit card information you can order concessions and receive a text message when they are ready for pickup. Even though there is a $.99 fee per order, this seems like it would be pretty convenient, especially if you have a large order. The main thing I wonder is if this will be available in all four levels of the ballpark or not. I usually still go old school and bring in food, but I may try this just for the sake of trying it sometime this year. Thoughts?

Since Ryan Braun and Aaron Rodgers are friends, at some point this season the wrestling mark in me wants to see Braun hit a late inning home run to give the Brewers a lead, round the bases, and do Rodgers' title belt gesture as he crosses home plate.

The retro Grienke should have a basketball instead of a baseball. Too soon? Thanks for the pics. I like the detail on the McGehee and Axford.

I just got my 20 pack today, as did my friend, so there is still hope Einhorn. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif This is the first year I have an account of my own (last year I went in with aforementioned friend and previous years I'd just buy as needed), it is awesome to get mail and perks from the Brewers. As if I needed more excitement that the home opener is a little over two weeks away!

3TO alert, pinch hitting for Arizona. Wearing #75. BA and Rock discussing whether he has the longest HR measured at Miller Park. Isn't Dunn's Dew Deck shot the record holder? Aww, not one of the three true outcomes. You're losing it, Russell.

I spent way too much time getting batting music arranged and uploaded on my PS3 for the launch of MLB 11 The Show tomorrow. It helps I have a Brewers playlist I still listen to weekly, lol.
-
I had the same thought about Gomez, when I heard the home run call I said to myself he won't stop swinging for the fences for the next two weeks. Sounds like the wind was whipping out to right pretty hardcore today. Cory called Almonte's home run ball foul about 5 seconds before it stayed fair and said the wind basically willed the ball to stay fair because normally it would have kept slicing.
-
Uecker is on his game again today. "Swing and a fly ball to left, should be an easy play for Cruz *ball drops* ... and it isn't." Cruz is no Escobar in LF. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Uecker was also ranting about the high sky comments, "what other kind of sky is it? Hey guys, watch out for those low grounders, the ground is really low today!" Also, I'm not sure whether to laugh out loud or sigh at Kottaras trying to steal down five.
-
That ninth inning was great to listen to via the webcast, from the audible "Lets go Scooter!" chants to BA's walk-off call. Even in Spring Training a walk-off Brewers win is a great one. Kudos to you, Anderson.

I think At Bat only gives you audio on your phone, but it is pretty awesome. This year you can designate your favorite teams and information about them shows up on your At Bat app home screen. You get home and away audio, which is pretty neat (plus you can get some Spanish broadcasts depending on the team). You get videos, news, standings, box scores, gameday, I've enjoyed it. I was going back and forth between the WTMJ broadcast and Cubs broadcast of the split squad game today. It was $14.99.

USA Today focuses on the Brewers
thablingster replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That was neat. I wonder if they do the green screen scoreboard videos for the entire 40-man roster in case they get called up, or if they just do the projected 25 man or how they select who gets captured. -
New season, same team stranding runners everywhere. I'm very happy baseball is back. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Sounds like Colvin was easily out at the plate on Braun's throw. I keep going back and forth on the MLB At Bat app. Ah, hooray, baseball.

Vote for Axford's 2011 Intro Song!
thablingster replied to sbrylski's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I went for Omen - The Axeman just for the song intro alone. They could put together a video package of Ax on the new big screen to go along with the song. My second choice was Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls, but it is similar enough to Trevor Time to make it kind of meh. -
All of those look so good, while thoroughly unhealthy for you other than the vegetable platter. I'd be torn between the Mac 'n Cheese Burger Burrito and the Honey Bun Burger.

Jason Kendall Blows Up at Reporter
thablingster replied to chuckiehacks's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
NSFW grittiness is the best link title ever. Just saying. That was quite the odd exchange, but I do get the feeling "rewind yourself" will become a cult saying due to this incident. -
Lucroy Broken Right Pinky Finger
thablingster replied to RobDeer 45's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah, I'd say it is likely an outside chance. Considering he'll probably be able to keep his stamina up by running and doing general workouts which don't require the use of his pinky it'll be all about getting his skills (hitting, fielding) up to par. I wouldn't be surprised if they played it safe and had him take a 15 day-DL stint to just make sure he's ready. This is a good opportunity for Rivera/Kottaras/Nieves to show what they've got. I wouldn't be surprised to see DM watching the waiver wire in case anyone semi-serviceable hits the wire, too. -
As hawing would say, thanks for playing, Diego. Getting injured before the start of camp is probably the best thing that could happen to him, reminding him how miserable he felt trying to play out the string last year. The competitive fire never goes away, but the body eventually gives out.

Simply a hilarious video. Love it.

On Deck was a good time this year. I still think my favorite part was the $1 Prince Fielder growth chart. As I said previously I ended up getting Braun, who was a good sport and signed my 8x10 and even asked whether I wanted it personalized or not. I later jumped in the Lucroy autograph line, personable guy. Manny Parra and Craig Counsell were taking photos and the Parra line was pretty sparse so my friend and I jumped in there, Parra seemed like he was enjoying himself and having a good time with people. Counsell was cordial as well. The Canadian Poutine needs to win the recipe contest, it was excellent. The only thing I missed out on was the grab bags, but based on the hauls most people came away with I don't feel like I missed much. I used the money I was going to spend on those to get two bobbleheads from a vendor, so it worked out. I had to giggle when I saw a vendor selling the CC Sabathia disco bobblehead. The Brewers charities jerseys were a cornucopia of failure from Jody Gerut to Chris Duffy to Ken Macha to Rick Peterson. There were even some Trot Nixon ST jerseys mixed in. I was amused. I think the lottery system for marquee autographs, while somewhat arbitrary, makes things run a bit more smoothly in that you don't have people clogging up the stations starting at 10:00am, making the other player autographs more accessible and making it a bit easier to get around. I'd classify the day as a success for both myself and the Brewers. Bring on the baseball!
-
Yeah, they only had Caldwell, Coop, and Vuckovich though.
-
The minis were going for $2. The lottery was fairly arbitrary, they selected a number (e.g. 3000), then that number and the next 250 won. They split it into two for Yount I think. My friend won in on Braun. He was great, signed whatever, asked if I wanted it personalized or not. It went fairly smoothly.
-
First find of the day: Prince Fielder growth charts for $1! There is some good stuff at the rummage, only the 2007 1982 mini-bobbles, though. They did have a few alternates.
-
The new lottery system sure didn't stop people from showing up at 7am. The 8am rush is surely in effect as well. The masses seem to be in good spirits thus far. I'll try to post anything interesting that happens. Lots of people have memorabilia so most don't expect the 5x7 policy to hold much weight.
