    Hardy is nowhere near as athletic as Escobar or Arcia but he read the ball well so he graded out pretty well in range. He made everything look pretty easy.

    We had a perfectly good cf platoon in 2011. Kotsay should never have started in cf. We also had an alternative at ss towards the end of the season but Yuni kept getting trotted out. I put that on the manager. Of course you shouldn't give sharp bjects to children so Melvin should get some blame.

    There is no point to bring him up to replace Franklin. Brinson needs to play full time.

    Not sure where the June 22nd thing was mentioned but there's nothing significant about that date as far as I know. Brewers are safe on that additional control. They could bring Brinson up today and still control him for 6 seasons after this one (2018-2023). You can bring a guy up about 2 weeks into the season and gain a year of control. A season is 183 days and you need 172 to earn a year of service time.

    Honestly this is kind of what we should expect for our bullpen no mater where we are as a team. Good, consistent relievers are expensive so we will always have to rely heavily on internal options. They may have been able to go out and sign one guy to a $10m per year contract but with how the game has changed you need probably 3-4 really good relievers. I don't think trading for relievers is the right move at this point and even with our success this year I don't think we are a playoff team.

    Scooter Gennett? You mean the guy who has been basically platooned to inflate his numbers?

    We only used 6 different starting pitchers for all of 2011. That is almost unheard of.

    It isn't so much about the money as he is taking a spot that we may want to use for a younger player. That was one reason to move him in the offseason. I would hate to bring up a young potential star and split time with Braun. The other was his age and the strong possibility he would not be able to stay healthy. A season like this was always a strong possibility when Braun signed his second extension. This is a large part of the reason why some people thought it was unnecessary. Braun has always had core muscle issues through out his career. He hasn't missed much time because of them but they have impacted his performance and there was always the possibility it would flare up and he would miss time.

    I would like the announcers switched. I always felt BA would make a good radio announcers since he seems to describe the action better than Uecker. Uecker would be great on TV since we can already see the action.

    Exactly. In your opinion. Teams frequently make the playoffs with a less than stellar rotation and teams excel in the playoffs with a good bullpen. Starters are going fewer and fewer innings every year. A strong pen, especially in a short series with off days, is more important than a good rotation.

    We thought the same thing when he came in with Melvin. He was saying all the right things about how he didn't know baseball very well and he would let his baseball guys do their thing.

    As long as a manager isn't completely botching obvious moves or bunting every time they get a runner on 1st (I'm looking at you, Roenicke,) I really don't think there's much difference between the majority of MLB managers. All I really ask is that they keep an open mind about their moves, not being tied to 'convention,' and earn the respect and effort of your players. In those regards, Counsell seems fine to me. I don't agree with all his moves and I think he still has somewhat of a tendency to favor veterans and scrappy journeymen over young players, but I generally like him. I do think that calling the roster 'Counsell's castoffs' is kind of a disservice to the job that Stearns has done finding and acquiring talent . That is not a great trait for a rebuilding team.

    Like I said, they shouldn't have to listen to your music so if it can't be heard if you are more than 10' from the cart then it wouldn't be an issue.
  14. logan82
    I think that in general nobody else should have to listen to your music if you are in public.

    To be fair if we were looking at it from a football perspective all team finish between 9-6 and 6-9. Win percentages are way more bunched up in baseball than football.

    The numbers tell us what happened but they may or may not indicate the actual talent of the team.

    Nope. No clicks for you.

    Nope.

    Thames is 30, not 26.

    I saw that too. I thought it was pretty good.

    Players can speculate all they want. Just do it privately.

    Have you heard about 4 square? They tried to talk to me about what kind of monthly payment I was looking for. I figure the monthly payment will take care of itself if you pay enough down and bargain well on the overall price. I ended up going through the dealer for my financing which is bad but they gave me the best rate. I think the dealer looked around for what I could get elsewhere and and beat that by 0.1%.

    I recently purchased a car and they guy seemed almost angry when I wouldn't buy any of the extended warranty stuff. This would have been an extra $2000 over the course of the loan and that was the lowest level. The higher ones were close to doubling the loan amount.

    Not really. He likes guys that don't strike out much and put the ball in play a lot regardless of how well they actually hit. So, the opposite of Khris Davis? Yeah that one was kind of weird. Basically Villar of the outfield.
