Just some things to think about as we reach the midway point of the season… *** Milwaukee’s spent the majority of the first half playing slightly above their record. However their recent 3-8 June Swoon has them at the All-Star Break with a negative pythagorean record. BP’s playoff odds say the Brewers only have a [...]
Manny Parra made his first start today after a four-start stint in AAA where he did pretty darn well compared to his big league disaster. His peripherals aren’t quite there yet (19K, 13BB, 24 2/3 innings pitched), but he did a good job of keeping the ball in the park and on the ground. He’s [...]
I have over 150 new e-mails in my inbox that I simply haven’t had the time to sort through until now due to the lagging computer problems and increased business in school. Some of these releases go all the way back to February, so I’m a little out-of-date. I’ll slowly bring your back into midseason [...]
Remember, as usual, all of these mixes are free to download and listen to. IDM FMControl released an online album that supposedly took two years to create. The album’s called “Objects 2007-2008,” and it’s really neat; very similar to Autechre during their glitchier days. Posted below is a video from one of my favorite artists, [...]
Mark DiFelice is a 32-year-old career minor league pitcher who seemingly can’t find a home, having minor league stints with the Rockies, Orioles, Nationals, Cubs, and now Brewers. So far, he’s been a journeyman minor leaguer who just found his first big-league experience last year in a short 19-inning stint, only getting his opportunity when [...]
Welcome to the first of your two posts today. Check out all this new stuff! Remember, it’s all free to download and check out and not illegal to have! Techno Luke Slater released a live mix he played in Glasgow in January. If you’re going to listen to any mix I post today — do [...]
Starting now, on Tuesdays I’m going to put together a little roll of electronic mixes of various genres and types that have recently been released. They’ll always be sorted by genre, and they’re all free to download and distribute, so no worries about this being taken down. If you have something you want me to [...]
Uh oh. tl; dr version: Prime Brewers shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar’s wife wrote a post on Bleacher Report detailing how Escobar, since getting called up from the minors in the September callup binge, has been abrasive, silent, and big-headed, getting to the point where he skips out on his wife and baby child and supposedly [...]
The Brewers are finally starting to do something! The biggest news of the day comes from Tom Hardicourt. The Brewers have inked a 2-year, $18 million deal with Prince Fielder in order to buy out two years of his arbitration and keep him on the team. The deal in itself doesn’t sound too bad, as [...]
While I’m still finishing tinkering this blog, I think it’s about time I start full-out blogging instead of posting here and there. Let’s use this post to outline what you can expect to see in this blog.
