Here's what I don't get. If you are a player on a losing team and you get asked a question that you either don't like or don't want to answer, just say "no comment." I mean, that was the classic press conference move back in the day. Does the NFL not allow that? If I were a player, I'd just do...

While I know Vegas has the line, I think calling Wisconsin an underdog against Notre Dame might not be the most accurate. It isn't like Notre Dame is a superior basketball team compared to Wisconsin, at least. I legitimately think that's a 50/50 game. Indiana on the other hand is going to have...

Unnecessary bump. :whistle:

You care to say that again after tonight's outing? :lol:

People can feel about Braun however they want, but I just get a laugh at these people that claim, "Braun's power numbers are down, so it MUST be because he was on PEDs!" Nobody even said a peep about the thumb issue, so I brought it up. At least someone else sees that the thumb is a big issue...

Still doesn't look as silly as the current Indians logo. :lol:

Even if that were the case, if PEDs are this "miracle drug that can magically heal injuries," why not allow it if that's the case? Also, you don't know me. Yes, I'm a Brewers fan. No, I don't consider Braun my hero. True heroes are people that are willing to put their life on the line to save...

Oh really? So if a guy is playing hurt, no matter what the situation, it's excuse making. I'd like try and see you swing a bat with a numb thumb and see how well you do. The fact that you're calling Braun my boyfriend just goes to show how much immaturity you have. All I did was post stats and...

Is this seriously a topic of discussion? Do any of you guys do your research before posting these things? Braun has been dealing with a nerve issue in his hand that affects his swing. It's a big reason why he missed so much time last year before being suspended. Ryan Braun opted not to have...

A little early to be calling him a bust, but things sure aren't looking promising for him. I can imagine the Astros are pulling their hair out over that pick right now.

It's nice to see the Blue Jays so resurgent. Oh, and of course, I love seeing the Brewers up there as well. :yahoo:I felt like they were getting the shaft in almost everyone's pre-season rankings and they're proving they got a really volatile lineup.

Jimmy Nelson down in AAA is ready to be an MLB starter. He had a scoreless spot start earlier in the year against Miami. Pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and has been tearing it up down in Nashville. They could also go with Mike Fiers or Tyler Thornburg as a 5th starter as well. Both are really...

The way Kirk Gibson has acted the last two days, he deserves to be fired. His actions are a disgrace to baseball (let alone the team he's trying to manage). Oh well, still not as disgraceful as the Cubs though. :yahoo:

I call ESPN "Soap Opera Network for guys."

I voted for Joe Flacco, but I'm starting to regret that vote and think I should've voted for Sam Bradford. At least Flacco has won something in his career. Bradford hasn't even been able to stay on the field. Although, to be fair, it's not like Bradford has had a ton of exceptional WR targets...

From a talent standpoint? Yankees. From a performance standpoint? Red Sox The Sox have underachieved so badly this season that it's not even funny. This team won (outside of a few guys that aren't there from last year) won a World Series last year? No wonder I keep hearing sometimes teams are...

Oh, I wasn't trying to sell the rest of their team short. I was just bringing up the point of how nice it is to have a team with a spot in the roster that can drive in runs. I have a hard time thinking of Marlins hitters before they brought in McGeehee and Jones who could drive in runs...

I do believe surrounding Giancarlo Stanton with Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee certainly helps. I remember watching both those guys play at Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and they were both pretty good hitters. Both had some down years, but when they were hitting the ball well, they were hitting...

I'm not sure if it's because of the Brewers dominating the division since the beginning of the year, but for this being the NL Smack Talk Thread 2014, I don't see a whole lot of smack talk on here. I thought for sure we'd have at least some more Brewers/Cards smack talk on here at least...but...

That's a pretty big "oops"...

Tommy John is right about that. The problem isn't the pitch count in MLB or the MiLB, but rather all other organized baseball. Whether it be Little League, Pony League (or whatever they call Junior High baseball now), or high school, the problem is how much young kids are throwing the baseball...

The AL East or the AL Central? It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to have them in the AL West. Here's the problem with bringing Milwaukee back to the AL. They would have to try and find some way to integrate them into the AL Central because that's where it makes the most sense to put them. If...

If nothing else, Weeks is dramatically improving his trade value. I still like Gennett over Weeks if for defense if nothing else. However, I'll admit that Weeks is playing like a guy who feels like he's getting shafted.

AL East is weaker? At this moment, the AL East is 94-92 and the AL Central is 92-90 (still pending the KC/Arizona game). I'd say they are pretty even right now. Sure, the AL East is weak by AL East standards but you'd have a tough argument that the AL East is weaker than the AL Central. BTW, I...

It's hard for me to get excited about the MLB draft. Unlike the NFL or NBA, none of these guys are going to be impact players as soon as they are drafted (go through the minors right out of the gate) and even then, it seems like more times than not, players don't pan out. Unless these guys are a...
