  1. I thought you were quoting Todd Rundgren songs... I am!
  2. It's me. I've thought about us for a long, long time Can we still be friends?
  3. He's not even online. HE'S NOT EVEN ONLINE!
  4. It's me.
  5. That's exactly what he wants people to do. BrewerWorld isn't and has never been serious.
  6. As long as it's better than Skyline chili (it's hard to be worse.)
  7. The NBA is not the NHL and it did affect the price. http://blog.seattlepi.com/sonics/2014/05/30/report-steve-ballmer-chris-hansen-made-bid-to-move-milwaukee-bucks-to-seattle/
  8. That would not be reviewed even today, since it wasn't called a fumble on the field right? I don't know, it's confusing keeping up with the instant replay rules. There's no going back now, but too bad all sports can't eliminate all instant replay. It's so unfair. Yes it would have. First, if replay was available you're much more likely to have a referee let the play go all the way through and rule it a turnover knowing that all turnovers are reviewed and you can change it on replay. Second, even if it wasn't called a fumble on the field it can still be reviewed and given to the Packers as long as it was determined to be a fumble and a clear, immediate recovery by the Packers, which it was.
  9. $500 million to get in the league (and it's rumored the Seattle franchise will cost over $600 million) and now you're maybe making money, maybe breaking even, maybe losing money for an undetermined number of years and now you want to sell to a buyer who either wants to move the team (could get more money) or keep the team in a small market (likely lowers the value) and the idea that you're making money off the sale becomes less certain.
  10. Yeah, that was 100% a TD and the only reason it's still being talked about is because Collinsworth is an idiot. He caught it at like the 6, took at minimum two steps towards the goalline, which would be a football move and then dove and lost the ball. Since he made the football move, he doesn't have to maintain possession after he hits the ground. James dove to the side to catch it and then lunged to the end zone without making a football move. I actually had to go back to YouTube and look at the Steelers play again to see if I was losing it for thinking they weren't similar at all and then I looked and they weren't similar at all. The big thing from that Ertz replay came when the replay was confirmed. Not that it stands but that they saw it and realized that he was a runner and the complete the process doesn't apply.
  11. I don't know. That replay from the back of the end zone on the Clement TD showed the ball was moving but it looked like Clement still had both hands on the ball the entire time. That's not a loss of possession where he has to regain it.
  12. Badgers trying to make a run but it might be too little too late. Admirals are in a 2+ week abortion right now.
  13. Didn't they get rid of him because they wanted him to do certain workouts but he had his own routine that he didn't want to stop doing? That's more on the Diamondbacks than it is on Bauer.
  14. The Bucks were not allowed to sign him. A bought out player can not go back to the team that originally traded him until his contract expires or July 1st, whichever comes first.
  15. I think everyone is making this too complicated.
  16. BrewerWorld? The whole point of that twitter account is to look dumb. To look at what writers are writing about the Brewers and then using his "sources" to confirm what the reporters are saying.
  17. 25 other teams could say the same thing though.
  18. Santana fills no need for them (Conforto, Cespedes and Bruce), Knebel is a reliever and Davies is a 3/4 starter.
  19. First, I don't think there's a chance in hell the Mets would trade him but for the sake of argument let's assume that our top 3 prospects in some order are Woodruff, Burnes and Hiura. After that it's some combination of Ray, Grisham, Phillips, Lutz, Dubon, Peralta, Erceg and Ortiz. I honestly don't think the Mets would even consider an offer of our top 5 prospects, especially since we don't have that one headliner to lead a deal. The Braves could headline a deal using Acuna then dip down to a couple of pitching prospects like Kyle Wright, Ian Anderson and Luiz Gohara. I would take three of those players over our top 5 prospects. Toronto could headline a deal with Guerrero Jr. Washington could headline a deal with Victor Robles. The Dodgers could headline a deal with Buehler and Verdugo. Houston could headline a deal with Whitley and Tucker. The Yankees could headline a deal with Torres and Sheffield. The Rockies could headline a deal with Rodgers and McMahon. Even the Twins could use Royce Lewis and Nick Gordon if they wanted to. Point I'm trying to make is the Mets will justifiably ask for every teams' top few prospects, pretty much every team would be interested in acquiring Syndergaard and there are several teams that would be able to make better offers than us and I think at minimum one of the teams listed above would be willing to part with several of their top prospects, which are better than ours for four years of Syndergaard.
  20. The thing about that 13 fWAR is it's based on FIP, which is obviously going to make Archer look really good because of the high strikeout and low walk rates. The problem is he gives up a lot of hard contact, so when hitters do actually hit him, it's a lot harder for the defense to actually make a play and convert it into an out. Over the last three years he's 5th out of 110 qualified starters in percentage of hard contact Compare that to 42nd out of 110 in hard contact rate from 2012-14. That's still in the bottom half but at least you could manage that with the strikeouts he was able to get. That's not going to be calculated in FIP. His soft contact rate dropped to a career low 13.9% in 2017. So his FIP is going to be excellent which means his WAR is going to be excellent which makes him look like an ace or at the very least an extremely valuable, high quality #2 starter on a great contract. The problem is he hasn't pitched like that the last two years. So the question is, do you want to pay the price of an ace/high quality #2 starter and hope he gets back to actually pitching like that or are you wary that the guy the past two years is the new Archer and while still valuable, is not going to be worth the insane price tag that Tampa is likely going to put on him?
  21. Prospect hugging...brewerfan members are experts at it. Crazy how some see the value of having good, young players making next to nothing for multiple years.
  22. You're talking about a young top of the rotation starter. We're all talking about Chris Archer.
  23. We traded them for another outfielder.
  24. Did Santiago send you? LARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY
  25. But Stearns acquired Brinson and Diaz and we don't know that Brinson is a high strikeout player. Brinson had a horrible K rate in the minors didn't he? If it's been a problem there it's very unlikely to just go away vs MLB pitching. No. He was 18.6% last year, 22.6% as a Brewer after he was traded in 2016 and 19.6% with the Rangers in AA in 2016. He struck out quite a bit as an 18 and 19 year old but he cut down on strikeouts dramatically since as he's gone up.
