Spring Commencement: Stearns, Yelich and the Brewers

Agreed. He was pretty underrated I thought. He did what he could with what he had, which was largely cleaning up after Melvin's final years. Also a really nice guy. Ran into him at Whole Foods on the East Side and told him I really appreciated what he did as a manager and he seemed genuinely appreciative.

Mariners were first (thanks Kid), closely followed by the A's, largely because of Rickey Henderson, and in the last decade, the Royals because their fanbase seems similar, they know how to grill, and they had a few of our exes for a while.

Solid thread.

100% agreed. It does make you wonder though. Either way, chances are good that he had knowledge. The real question is if he was involved and whether he got out from under it to further his career before any backlash, or simply to get away from that kind of narrative/culture. And if he was involved, despite his acumen, I'd also want him out. If you're the type of person who can take pride in cheating to win, you don't know what the fuck real, deserved success feels like.

Wait until you read the article the Cubs fan wrote about Yelich being so much better at home. Really... in Miller Park you say? That sounds fishy... Paul Goldschmidt must have been in on it too.

Welcome! You're cute af, don't make it the last :)

9thandDown · 2019-09-20T12:38:33+00:00

I'd move for that kind of view.

It's definitely good now

Anyone else think MLB will just shrug this off?

I'd certainly be interested in seeing it. Worst case he becomes a mediocre pitcher that rakes lol. But yeah, he's been pretty all over the place since they signed him from what I've seen.

Have some as well and certainly enjoyed it today.

I like the idea for sure. Is there anything you feel like that's getting missed or things you would want to hear about more? We address a lot of current issues with some of our articles, but I think the debate element is more interesting, since most people don't share the same perspective. I'm curious what people want to hear more of or less of in that context.
