Quote from: JWags85 on July 29, 2025, 04:26:20 PMRich Hill DFA'd by the Royals.  Pretty sure he's tied for the MLB record for teams played for with 15, so you gotta hope someone else picks him up to get the record.

But if not, what a bizarre and remarkable career. Debuted in MLB 20 years ago.  Has won 90 games and made $80MM.  But almost 70 of those wins and $70MM of his earnings came after the age of 36.

But even more amusingly, he's played for 20 years but only been a good pitcher for probably 3-4 years in his late 30s and it extended his career a long time.  One good season with Boston, the first good season he had in decade, got him the big contract with the Dodgers.  Then after his time with the Dodgers, he's been mediocre and just plodding along off that reputation and post season performance for 5-6 years.

There should be more trades between teams between double-headers. I had forgotten the oddity of Brewers acquisition Danny Jensen being the only player to play for both teams in the same game due to a game rained out and deferred.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on July 28, 2025, 08:14:49 PMIn no way was County some legendary stadium, but as a college kid, the bleachers were a lot of fun, especially on a warm spring day. It was strange how they were completely separate from the rest of the stadium.

I can remember sitting on the 3rd base side of the stadium for Packer games. I believe the bleachers were sought after seats for football as the stadium was not really geared for football as the playing field barely fit. Milwaukee always got the less competitive games on the schedule as they always seemed to schedule Pittsburg, the 49ers, the Vikings and the Rams which were not very good in the mid 60s.

They had a playoff game there in 1967

That play on a loop to sandbag his gold glove campaign.

Cubs will live with all of this if Chourio is out for any length of time though.

Maybe calling the owner's box to see if he can get his old job back?

Am I the only one hearing of a "hamstring spasm" for the first time tonight?

MuggsyB

I watched a good chunk of Brewers/Cubs tonight.  What Vaughn is doing is crazy.  He looks like a righty Roy Hobbs.  Hopefully Chorio is alright.

Brewers were classy and had a moment of silence for Ryne Sandberg.  Tomorrow, they hopefully have a moment of silence for the Cubs first place standing.

Quote from: The Sultan on July 28, 2025, 06:14:48 PMThe fact that you still think that 14 students getting transported to the hospital for alcohol was "normal" is beyond insane. The most I've seen in my 30 year career is one or two a week at schools larger than MU.

And how is this "pearl clutching?" It's flat out truth that it's an outlier. By Marquette's own admission. 

Because an RA got overzealous my guy. Step back rofl.

You know how many people come into the er for drinking to much, but not really coming close to needing medical attention? Too many to count.

What did we do? Put them in a bed, gave them ice chips. Waited for the bac to go down.

This is your opinion. And it's a bad one.

I'm dealing with objective facts that the University provided.

I win.

White Sox fans, did Vaughn show any flashes of this? I know he was a first round pick and obviously the Brewers saw something to trade for him, but this turnaround seems pretty wild.

In Milwaukee?  Won't catch me entering Milwaukee.  Nobody gets out of there alive.
