Nova Carmina Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 15 minutes ago, Principled Man said: The Brewers are under orders to swing for the fences in virtually every at-bat. No small ball, no bunts, no shortening up your bat to punch the ball somewhere. It's all or nothing, and too often, they get nothing. Lots of strikeouts and double plays. So you're not a Craig Counsell guy? I'll trade you Matheny, pitching coach Cal Eldred, third base coach Vance Wilson, and bullpen coach Larry Carter for Counsell and the husk of Christian Yelich.

Counsell has done a lot of good for the Brewers. He's their winningest manager. I love his fire and passion. He'll even get in an ump's face when the need arises. BUT....his offensive philosophy has many critics. That's his only big flaw. His predecessor, Ron Roenicke, loved to play small ball. That was pretty much the only good thing about him....LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 It cannot help but be a good day when you wake up to the news that Josh Hader was torched for six runs in a third of an inning (and it wasn't the Cards that were responsible).

Rick N. Backer Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'm not as invested in this baseball season as I have been in the past, for a variety of reasons. But watching the Yankees choke is always enjoyable. They've been really good at it for quite a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, pitching repellent Farte still hasn't learned his lesson from disappointing hitting contracts especially from ex Nats. *cough* Rendon *cough*. Maybe if he stopped being a cheapskate towards the minor league system and give them real food instead of PB&J crap, Adell and Marsh would perform better. Defending champ Rams season can't come soon enough. Good riddance to the Failos. Edited July 17, 2022 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's turned into the Simpsons episode where the school is forced to wear uniforms. Everyone looks the same and it sickens me. Also, someone tell John Smoltz we didn't ask for a new Joe Buck. That mic talk to the pitcher was a new low for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the players wearing their own uniforms made it look like a pickup hockey league, where one team wears white practice jerseys, the other wears a colored jersey, and no one has the same color shirts, pants or socks. I liked that they all looked the same, but they were wearing their own uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 f**k you, Manfred. Quote LOS ANGELES (AP) — Major League Baseball is moving ahead with plans for advertising on uniforms next season. The new labor contract agreed to in March allows teams to add uniform and helmet advertising patches. The San Diego Padres in April became the first team to announce a deal for 2023, with Motorola.

The last time I checked, the players on the field are supposed to be totally focused on the game and the play that’s about to happen. What makes baseball so great is that after the pitcher lets go of the ball, almost anything can happen. I don’t want my shortstop chatting with Joe Buck a split second before a hot line drive comes right at him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Pretty accurate, imo. Quote Today in 1997, Greg Maddux tosses a 76-pitch complete game. I believe this is also known as "4 innings" to most current starting pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
