So is it a given that Max Scherzer's elbow will simply explode one day as he completes a pitch?

My survey size is exactly one Brewer fan.  The one Brewer fan who has brought up baseball to me (Cubs fan) this week at work.  I told him I read the Orioles had a deal in place but no body knew who it was.  His response was "god, I hope it isn't the Brewers".  His reasoning was strictly money.

I dont want Machado as I dont think it is worth the prospects for 64 games.

Build for next 3-5 years.

Yeah, try to make a go when you are already 2.5 games out, and only 1 game up in the wild card.  Makes no sense to try to win, I mean, if they have to settle for a WC, there is no way a WC team could make a run in the playoffs.

I honestly don't get why a guy rated as a 50-75 ish level prospect is an untouchable for a guy that could make a team significantly better.  Have you not gotten over trading Matt LaPorta?

Even over the next 3-5 years, how do the Brewers get past the Cubs talent-wise with out making a bold and risky move?

No matter anyways, seems like the Dodgers is a done deal.

Well, he has thrown over 2000 innings of basically injury free ball so far, so I guess he is due?

I wonder how many Astros fans felt that way about Verlander last year.

Cubs have basically traded away 2 top 10 prospects the last 2 seasons in Torres and Jimenez.  Pretty safe to say they don't accomplish what they have without those moves. 

By the way, I love the guys being mic'd up and having the in inning interviews. 

And Rosenthal saying Manny to the Dodgers is a done deal.

Josh Hader might be in trouble and I'm not talking about the All Star Game.

i'm certain no cubs player said something stupid when they were 16 years old.

nice find.

What do Cubs fans have to do with this?  Titan is pointing out a story that seems to be blowing up on Twitter?

what team is titan a fan of? you think titan is championing a tweet like that if it's javy baez? lol!

cool. people scrolled through 7 years of an athlete's twitter account and found one stupid thing they said when they were a child. shocking.

it says more about the 30-something year old who runs around sharing it like they just uncovered russia rigging the us presidential election than it does about the 24 year old who tweeted something stupid as hell 7 years before that.

yawn. already discussed the username.  more than once. in this very same thread. don't feel the need to explain it again, but here's a hint: 30 for 30.

For what it's worth, I found it because Josh Hader is the number 5 trend on Twitter in the US right now.

He was 18 years old. And tweeting racist and homophobic garbage is a bit different than just saying something "stupid".

Segura and Gennett hitting homers in the All Star game.  That's gotta hurt a little with the Brewers currently having no middle infield.

MUEng92

I'm quite aware of who Titan roots for. It's completely irrelevant to this issue.

Anyway...is it seriously possible that no one has noticed these tweets until tonight?  It shocking these repulsive tweets have been hanging out in cyberspace for seven years and not one saw the "limelight" of day.

so which is it? the brewers should trade top prospects (segura) for difference makers when in contention (greinke) or they should be hurt when those prospects are performing down the road?

thanks but im not going to get all riled up over a teenager tweeting music lyrics and movie quotes and calling him a racist for it 7 years after that.

for someone who would be "very disappointed" if his favorite athletes used peds and probably still believes sammy sosa when he non-deny denies steroid use and thinks he accidentally grabbed the wrong bat once, i actually would buy that you never quoted any inappropriate movie lines as a teenager so i guess you are not a "complete idiot."

TallTitan34

I'm not sure who found them or why they picked tonight to retweet them but they are trending on twitter.

Doesn't Marquette have a company that monitors all of its athletes social media accounts?  I'm surprised the Brewers don't have something similar.

Hader has locked his account.

TAMU, Knower of Ball

Yikes,  none of that is good. Kid should man up and apologize. I give him some leeway because of his age at the time but thats not acceptable for anyone of any age.

How have sports leagues not figured out that they need to go through their players old social media posts the second they sign and delete any problematic ones?

I think you are a little confused.  They got Segura for  Greinke.  They traded him for away for Aaron Hill and Chase Anderson (so in that way it wasn't a total waste).  But in very few cases is Aaron Hill a difference maker, in even fewer is he comparable to Manny Machado.

And I would just think, that if it were me, and my team had a complete void in the middle infield, and my organization had 2 guys that play those positions in the All Star game, I would regret it.  Like White Sox fans being happy about the performances of Basabe and Cease in the Futures Game, but just gritting their teeth through Fernando Tatis Jr.

Some members of Josh Hader's family, wearing his All-Star replica jersey, have taken them off and been given generic jerseys without his name on the back.
