only brewer even on the list is ryan braun who has barely played this season because he is a fragile glassman without his special juice.

iospace posted:He's been fragile with it. yeah, i was yelling all last year how stupid it was that they weren't trying to sell him off when he had like 3 months of uninjured high-performance baseball. his trade value hit a high watermark somewhere around last August and they just did nothing with him. probably because his contract is really fuckin big and he's a dick with a reputation for being injury prone. it shouldn't be any surprise that they're pushing guys like Thames, Arcia, and Peres as faces of the franchise now because braun is toxic even among brewer fans. we ignored what an rear end he was through the steroid thing because he was good and helped our team. but now he's just sitting with dumb injuries all the time and he tried to murder jean segura with a baseball bat so we're all just kind of over him now.

He's also a huge rear end in a top hat who does cool things like openly make fun of a mentally handicapped bat girl while the camera is on him in the dugout. whoah, i didn't hear about this one. link? either way what a loving dick. i can tolerate drug use if it makes my team better cuz that's his body and his choice, but absolutely gently caress anyone who mistreats the disabled or fucks with someone's job to get out of trouble.

reds fans, that's scooter gennett in a nutshell. a frustrating flawed player who will occasionally go on streaks of brilliance that make you think "maybe he's putting it together" but then nope he's still just a man who goes by the name of a muppet baby (really).

kensei posted:This is a bad news break just before the draft: this is depressing, but i appreciate the thoughtfulness of the article. it relays the facts, the relevant laws, and provides actual context about the severity of the crime and the state's opinion that he's unlikely to be a danger going forward. i imagine it's not going to tank him in the draft too much because it's not hard for a team to say "he didn't understand Oregon's laws but he's done everything by the book since his incident and the criminal justice system believes he is unlikely to reoffend". he'll probably get a much smaller signing bonus though.

Like off the top of my head the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians, Twins, Brewers and Cubs would all need rotation upgrades to make a viable post season run. The Brewers going for it this year would not mesh with what we've seen of Actual Boy Genius David Stearns's style so far and if they did do that I'd argue he should be fired immediately.

It's pretty clear to me that he's saying because he's adopted he didn't literally grow inside her but that her heart (e.g. love and emotional support) is what grew him into the person he is. Or am I just getting wooshed on a run of deliberately disingenuous posts?

Fisher has already spent a third of the season destroying AAA and has shown success in his first taste of the bigs, he has nothing left to prove and there's no reason to hold him down to keep an aging slap hitter who doesn't draw walks around but, like, the mere spirit of aoki should make you love him unquestioningly. im not sure you understand this game if you expect players to be *good* to earn your undying love.

Inspector_666 posted:Can't they just snip the tendon and get rid of the issue entirely? I guess that would probably have to wait until he's not playing anymore? It's not a tendon issue. Plantar Fasciitis is literally an inflammation of the Plantar Fascia, which is the whole complex of muscle on the sole of your foot. If you just sit down and elevate it for a day or two when you first notice pain it will totally go away. If your job is to be on your feet, run hard, etc constantly it's just gonna get worse and worse. I imagine that the way they treat someone like Albert is to just jack his feet full of cortisone every chance they get, but it's basically impossible for an athlete to actually recover from without going on the disabled list for a long-rear end time and who wants to do that?

This kinda flew under the radar (there's not even a clip on MLB.com that I can find), but yesterday the Brewers' closer Corey Knebel broke the major league record for consecutive games with at least one strikeout: http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/...a707398589.html It's kind of cool how many young Brewers are doing great poo poo on a regular basis. I don't think I've seen the Brewers consistently on those plays of the week shows like they've been this year.

Joey Freshwater posted:This "Cobb County Braves" poo poo annoys the hell out of me. They weren't the Fulton County Braves before and they're still in Atlanta. The deal the Braves had with Fulton county was garbage and Cobb county offered a better one. wasnt the whole thing that their mostly white suburban fanbase didnt want to get so close to the "dangerous" parts of atlanta to attend games so they fled to cobb county without so much as planning adequate parking for the stadium? if the Brewers moved to Brookfield suddenly they'd still technically be in the Milwaukee metro but people would make a big deal of that too.

Or one of the construction workers may not be white and the concerned citizenry won't be able to immediately harass them by calling 3 squad cars from the speed traps they're sitting at. I mean, they built that idiotic "the corners" mall+apartments just fine. I went to college at Carroll. Burn brookfield to the ground imo and take new berlin with it.

The literal plot to Parks and Rec took place when they tried to fill a giant abandoned quarry with some of the I-94 construction material and build a park there. It was defeated because some rear end in a top hat land developer wanted it for himself (and still has not bought it) and claimed that "there would be a dump truck every 30 seconds for weeks". is the cafe hollander there any good? ive been dragged to the one in madison a couple times and the food did not impress me. the beer selection was good though. not that i care, im leaving this turd state in a couple weeks. only restaurants left on my farewell tour are a dirt nasty fishfry place and solly's.

i got the show 17, which is my first baseball game since world series baseball '96 for the gensis. some thoughts: *It's dumb that they trap you in a Cubs game with no way to exit and with no explanation that the game has to download even more crap that wasn't on the disc before you can play for real. *let me have female players MLB, there's no rule that says a woman can't play baseball. *after going 1-17 in the pre-draft exhibition and being drafted in the 6th round by the, ugh, cardinals, i realized you have to hold down the swing buttons not just hit them and i've gone .452avg .986slg through the first 8 games of the aa season. for some reason i am still the DH even though my guy's stats are all glove no bat, lol. *harold reynolds is realistically dumb. he keeps marvelling at my player swinging first pitch despite the fact that the charts show that my player has not seen a single ball so far this season. no poo poo i'm swinging at strikes. overall this is fun though the clubhouse vignettes are real cliche and it's annoying that jen jenkins has to look like a long legged fat man with a gray afro and yellow beard instead of rosie o'donnell in a league of their own. thanks for reading bye

Sydin posted:CPU pitchers also don't throw many balls until you crank the difficulty up to All-Star or above. On Beginner they're basically throwing BP, and on Rookie/Veteran they'll mix pitch type and location in the zone fairly well, but sparingly throw off the plate. yeah, this is what I noticed. I'm playing on beginner because, like I said, my last baseball game was on the Sega Genesis and I have genuinely yet to see a ball thrown to my RTTS guy.
