MLB Network Baseball IQ Open Thread: Brewers v. Nationals
MLB Network's Baseball IQ, which debuted on Tuesday, has a Brewer first round matchup tonight as senior account executive Jeff Hibicke takes on Nationals Baseball Operations Analyst Samuel Mondry-Cohen.
The show airs at 8:30 and will be the second of two episodes to run tonight: The Marlins and Braves face off in the first one.
I'll most likely be DVR'ing this to watch later since the Badger basketball team is playing Indiana tonight, but if you're watching it live you can use this thread to discuss it.
Larkin Elected To Hall Of Fame, Burnitz And Young Fall Off Ballot
As seen moments ago on MLB Network, Barry Larkin is the only honoree in this year's Hall of Fame balloting.
The former Brewers on this year's ballot were Jeromy Burnitz (1996-2001) and Eric Young (2002-03). Neither received the 5% of the vote they'd have to get to appear on the ballot again next season. Young received one vote, Burnitz no votes.
No former Brewers have been elected to the Hall of Fame since Paul Molitor made it on the first ballot in 2004.
Arizona Fall League Rising Stars Game Open Thread
UPDATE: Jed Bradley pitched a scoreless, hitless seventh inning, with two strikeouts. Would have been a perfect frame if not for an error.
The center of the baseball universe tonight is in Surprise, Arizona, where top prospects in the Arizona Fall League compete tonight for exhibition supremacy in the league's Rising Stars game at 7.
Jed Bradley is the only Brewer on the AFL West roster, and he's one of eleven pitchers. He's one of just two lefties, though: Starter Danny Hultzen is the other. I don't know if that improves his chances of getting into the game or not, but you'd assume it does.
At any rate, the game is being broadcast live on MLB Network. Watch it there, discuss it here.
Taiwan Series Game 2 Open Thread
Today the center of the baseball universe was International Stadium in Taichung, Taiwan where a team of major leaguers played Game 2 of a five game set against the Chinese Taipei National Team.
Today's game will be broadcast via tape delay on MLB Network at 8 pm, and discussed in the comments here. Enjoy the game!
Your 2011 Silver Slugger Awards Open Thread
Tonight the center of the baseball universe is in Seacaucus, New Jersey, where the winners of baseball's 2011 Silver Slugger Awards will be announced at 5 pm.
If Ryan Braun wins the award tonight he'll be the first Brewer ever to have won four times, just the 15th player in major league history to have done it four times as an outfielder, and he'll have done it in four consecutive years. If Prince Fielder wins at first base it will be his second such award, moving him into a tie for eleventh on the all time list at that position.
Taiwan All Star Series/Gold Glove Award Ceremony Open Thread
Craving more baseball already? There's some on MLB Network tonight as a team of MLB players open an All Star exhibition series in Taiwan. There's a small Brewer tie-in involved: Free agent-to-be LaTroy Hawkins in on the MLB roster.
Today's opening game, played in New Taipei City, will air on MLB Network at 8 pm.
Meanwhile, for the first time ESPN2 has staged a ceremony to hand out this year's Gold Gloves. Head over there at 9 to see if Ryan Braun (the Brewers' lone nominee) can take home the hardware.
Enjoy the game/pageantry!
World Series Game 7 Open Thread
It's taken a month to get here, but all of October comes down to one game tonight: Chris Carpenter (starting on short rest) and the Cardinals face Matt Harrison and the Rangers tonight with the World Series on the line.
There should be plenty of excitement to discuss in the comments, but first take our final World Series poll.
