Correa whining for no ****in' reason whatsoever but it doesn't fit the narrative about the people who usually "get butthurt" about "unwritten rules" and are "the fun police" and who are "stodgy" and "stoic" and "boring" and "old school" and "living in the past" so this won't get too much attention, I'm sure.

The delay was dumb but all these fans and media types acting like it's the most offensive thing in the history of sports and bitching on and off the air for hours on end is absurd and embarrassing.

The radar showed rain in the area. The radar still shows rain in the area. So they expected it to move over the area and they decided to delay to try to avoid it and it didn't materialize. Big ****ing whoop.

Also, thanks for nothing Diamondbacks. *******s.

It was a cowardly move. They didn't want Gio to be removed around 9pm and have to use the bullpen for however long was left in the game. This is an important series and they tried to do everything to help their bullpen. You don't delay games because it is supposed to rain, you start them and try to get them in.

The game should have been called a forfeit. Not sure why the Braves didn't force the umps to make a call. Before the game starts, it is up to the home team, but the umps could have called play ball. Delaying the start of a game in order to benefit one team is a forfeit per rules.

They also screwed all the fans as they gave no update. They entered the stadium since there was no rain, then they delay it, give no updates, metro shuts down around 11PM, so people left. Now they can't get refunds or can't get home. They need to refund everyone and refund people's parking or cab home if they stayed.

You're giving them way too much credit.

The simple answer is incompetence.

I'll probably be labeled as a biased Jays fan on this one but I agree with you completely. Correa makes it sound like it was some great offense but if you look at it in context the ball came to Osuna. He didn't want to throw from basically the mound so took a few steps towards first and threw it overhand NOT underhand as its being reported.

There was absolutely NO intention of showing Correa up and he's just being a whiny baby.

Is it now showing someone up to not exert maximum effort on a routine grounder? Lol

It fits the narrative of baseball players complain too much about little meaningless things.

And they do. It's annoying.

So we are about to play the final 3 games before the All-Star break and no matter what happens, the Brewers are going to in 1st Place in the NL Central at the All-Star Break.

If you predicted that prior to the season raise your hand.

This Dodgers team is really good.

If they don't fade and the NL Central continues to be sluggish than they have a great shot at the playoffs. Craig Counsell will definitely be Manager of the Year. I'm rooting for them. They have a pretty good fanbase and I like the makeup of the team. They kind of play to the camera a lot as well which can be annoying but it reminds us all that deep down this is just a game they're playing.

It's also unique in that I believe the Brewers only have a handful of homegrown players on their everyday roster. It's a team made up of mostly castoffs and young kids who've gelled.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

So Bartolo Colon has interest from the Mets, which we figured, and also 3 other teams supposedly. I wonder who the other 3 clubs are?

And the Brewers have inquired about Sonny Gray and Jose Quintana.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

Good for the Brewers. They're not letting their "timeline" get in the way of winning.

Braun, Arcia, Broxton, Nelson, Davies, Peralta, and I'm sure some relievers are all home grown talent.

They have done a good job of bench strength, though.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

Of the 25 players on Milwaukee’s active roster, only five (Nelson, Braun, shortstop Orlando Arcia, and relievers Jacob Barnes and Wily Peralta) are homegrown — that is, either drafted or signed as amateur free agents by the Brewers. Only the Braves have fewer active homegrown players. Even the Brewers’ top three prospects this spring, and four of the top five (according to Baseball America), were imports from other organizations.

Brewers have the second least homegrown players in all of baseball. Crazy what this patchwork team with the lowest payroll has done.

Broxton and Davies are not home grown.

Kyle Schwarber is a disaster.
