The first couple of pages on that thread were brutal.

Yeah. Every transaction carries some hot takes, but with that one some people were making disaster declarations before the guy even threw a single pitch.

Who hits more weak flyballs to the outfield than Frelick?

Going to be a wide, awful zone today

So long as it's consistent to both teams.

All fully warranted.  He was garbage before getting to Milwaukee.

I'm glad I was wrong, thrilled actually.  Hopefully what we have seen the past couple of games is what we see from here on out.

EDIT:  I actually didn't even post my thoughts...lol  But I was with the majority in thinking it was a pretty uneventful trade.

Casual nine up nine down for Montas, pumping gas.

Wiemer hitting 146/255/146 (14 wRC+) for Louisville.

Junis with a 5.84 ERA in a dozen mop up innings for the Reds.

Honestly the only surprising thing here is Montas looking really good since he got to Milwaukee. 

Wiemer's hot month was filled with ridiculous batted ball luck and an unsustainable BB:K rate. Although 14 wRC+ is crazy low.

Junis seemed like a ticking timebomb with how many breaking balls he hung every outing.

What do you mean, today? It's like that every day.

I would not say "warranted." I would say predictable.

The facts show that the harsh criticisms were unwarranted. But he's finding trouble this inning . . .

Some people might have some explaining to do with their reactions to the Montas trade. 

Okay I think I jinxed him so I hereby rescind this comment.

[RobertCrawley]

When catchers lunge for a ball in the strike zone, the umps usually call them balls.

[jason21nl]

Someone needs to get ejected

[Brewcrew82]

Geez, CB. That was a great pitch.

[markedman5]

Buckner is just pathetic 

[wiguy94]

CB Bucknor is a criminal

[RobertCrawley]

That was awful. The worst.

[yfinn6]

Murphy, get your ass out there and get in that ump's face. 

 

[RobertCrawley]

I have to go for a walk.

[HarryDoyle]

This is on the verge of getting out of hand.

[Brewcrew82]

Could use a couple Ks here.

Yeah, that commet aged really well...

In your effort to look superior to all the posters that didn't like the trade, you have now jinxed the guy.  Thanks a lot.

[Underachiever]

Would be nice if you could get at least one out in the first 20 pitches of an inning

To good to be true

[willie key]

To be honest had montas really been that great?   He had a great game last game but wasn’t every other one like 4-5 innings 3-4 runs
