  1. From what I understand, Matheny said the story was fabricated and then Mark Saxon, the author of the piece, played audio of Matheny saying those quotes on a radio show.
  2. Congratulations are in order for Mike Matheny setting a franchise record by spending 16 years in the organization without killing himself while drunk driving.
  3. I'm sorry for comparing anyone to r_mack. On a day the Brewers lost twice, the Cardinals lost and fired their manager, and the Cubs won to move 1.5 games up:
  4. He's truly in the conversation by the nerd stats too at this point. For example, fWAR... Arenado: 3.8 Cain: 3.7 Freeman: 3.5 Realmuto: 3.5 Goldschmidt: 3.5 Baez: 3.4 Add in the fun factor and the things you can't even quantify 100% that he does on a baseball field... I think he'd have a lot of votes. Obviously being able to keep it up to this level with his refusal to walk over 3% of the time will be a problem, but to this point he's worthy of the NL MVP. Yeah, I don't think he'll keep it up at a level necessary to win it at the end of the year. But, at this point, my biased ass would refuse to vote for anyone else.
  5. We all knew this potential was in there for Javy, but we just assumed it was if he learned to be a little more patient, stop swinging at bad pitches and started taking walks. He's done none of that and is still going to win MVP.
  6. We are going to steamroll everyone in the second half.
  7. Remember when they gave him an extension the day after we won the World Series?
  8. It’s 75 here, a couple of blocks from Petco and I’ve had 2 locals apologize for the heat. You must live in inland OC (don’t call it that). The folks who live by the immediate coast in California live a different, cooler life. This reminds me of when my brother and I were on vacation a few years ago in late-November or early-December. We drove through a blizzard when we were leaving Illinois. And we were wearing shorts the next day in North Carolina because it was in like the low 60s. We had several locals comment how crazy we were and wondered how cold we must be.
  9. Interesting race for 4th brewing between the Cardinals and Vaunted Brewers.
