ProudMary January 7 Share January 7 1 hour ago, mojoween said: Wow Rizzo’s body isn’t even cold yet. 😢 Agreed. I really wish they would have re-signed Rizzo, but I think they liked Goldschmidt on the one-year deal, because they want to go after Vlad, Jr. next off-season when he's a free agent. I doubt Rizzo would have taken a one-year deal. They've had a good off-season, but they still need either a 2nd or 3rd baseman. Rumors are floating that they've had talks with the Padres about a trade for Luis Arráez. He'd be a rental as he's a free agent after the upcoming season. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/387/#findComment-8548391

Moose135 January 10 Share January 10 Yankees fans who mauled Mookie Betts at World Series banned from all MLB stadiums indefinitely Quote The two fans who grabbed Mookie Betts’ wrist and tried to rip the ball out of his hand during Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium have been banned “indefinitely” from attending any MLB games, The Post has learned. The fans, Austin Capobianco and John P. Hansen, were ejected from the game and banned from Game 5 in The Bronx, which proved to be the final game of the season. Both were using the seats of a season-ticket holder, who has owned the tickets since 1990 and was not in attendance and will therefore be allowed to keep them. The season-ticket holder was said to support the decision to prohibit the two fans from attending any more games. In a letter from an MLB official obtained by The Post, the league wrote to the banned fans in part: “Your conduct posed a serious risk to the health and safety of the player and went far over the line of acceptable fan behavior. Based on your conduct, Major League Baseball is banning you indefinitely from all MLB stadiums, offices, and other facilities.” 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/387/#findComment-8551327

Calvada Thursday at 08:57 PM Share Thursday at 08:57 PM (edited) It's a very sad day in Wisconsin. This news is not surprising, considering his age and the many serious health battles he's had. Ueck had cut back quite a bit in the last several years, only working home games. He also always had a broadcast partner, so he would call 5 of the 9 innings. I used to joke that being his partner was an audition for the other teams. Guys like Pat Hughes, Jim Powell, Cory Provus and Joe Block moved onto another team after working with Bob. Last year he worked just a handful of games and now we know it was because of his cancer diagnosis. There was no better way to spend a summer day than listening to Ueck call a baseball game. When the schedule came out every year, I would circle the day games on Monday thru Fridays and put them on my work calendar. It helped get me through those long summer afternoons when I wanted to be anywhere but the office. Even in the many less than stellar Brewers' seasons, listening to a game was great because Ueck was so entertaining. A game in which the Brewers were either down by 6 runs or up by 6 runs would be especially great because that's when the stories would start. Get up! Get Up! Get outta here! GONE! Thanks for all the great calls, Ueck. Editing this to add that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel currently has 11 articles about Ueck's life and legacy on their website. I cannot think of another Wisconsin sports figure whose passing would get this kind of coverage.
