  1. True, but we don't have to be happy with "ok." Maybe we've all placed far too much importance on his success to this team, but the way our line-up is constructed, he just has to be better than "ok" since we don't have much else to pick up his slack. We have a lot of guys, who judging on their full season performance, are doing "ok" but we have no one that we can say has been far better than "ok." Maybe Bauers?
  2. Pancakes just said Pratt was pulled because he was supposed to bunt and he pulled his bat back on the strike, then didn't run on the hit to right. Pancakes actually getting questioned by the media, and looks a bit uncomfortable. Bet he wishes his kids were with him tonight.
  3. So no Megill for at least a game, so now what? Uribe pitched tonight, I'm assuming one rehab and done?
  4. I'm pretty tired of watching this offense just completely fail so often. Somehow, things are going to have to be ironed out by playoff time, we all know how this ends if things don't change. It's hard damn work being a Brewers fan...
  5. Pulling Pratt had a lot of different angles on this game Pancakes,,,
  6. Scary situation tonight in Appleton, it appeared that Brady Ebel got physically knocked out in a collision with Daniel Dickinson. Took a while, and he was on the ground motionless for a bit, but did walk off the field on his own eventually. I'm sure concussion protocol is going to follow. Looked pretty bad.
  7. Thanks! Well, if that's the case, he has only 6 more days to make that happen...Actually, 12 more games, I forgot they are on the road the last series...
  8. With our organizational depth, I'm more on board with exploring this as an option than I was at the season's beginning... It's just no longer as crazy as I once thought, especially if we can get set up with the perfect trade package, and it doesn't involve the freaking Cardinals or Cubs.
  9. Agreed, however, I don't view Mitchell or Lara as locks for starting OF positions. I like them both, but if Lara's bat doesn't play, and we have guys like Adamczewski and Payne pushing for the big promotion, I can see Lara as our 4th OF option at some point, for the remainder of his contract. I can also see a guy like Mitchell, if he stays healthy, being a trade chip knowing what we have in the pipeline. I simply don't trust his health enough to go all in on him. Like I said, these are nice problems to have, and it will be so interesting to see what happens in the next 5 years. I don't even want to get started trying to figure out where all our middle infielders will fit in the coming years. With Made, Pena (another possible 3B option) Ebel, Dickinson, all looking like legit options, we still have Pratt and Turang currently. Wow, what organizational depth!
  10. Fischer at 3B makes sense in normal times, but these are not normal times. We have a guy named Jesus Made on the cusp of stardom as well. If he is going to be our 3B of the very near future, Fischer has to be a 1B or DH option, right? Pratt has SS locked down, that leaves 3B for Made. This situation and how it plays out is fascinating to me. We signed Pratt to that long term deal knowing full well we had Made and Fischer coming into their own. Could Pratt move to 2B, Made SS, and Fischer at 3B once Turang leaves via trade or FA? I have never seen anyone project at Pratt move to 2B, so this may not even be an option. All I know is that if these guys all pan out, there are going to have to be some moves made that will make me extremely uncomfortable.
  11. Interesting, but too small of a sample to think anyone won or lost a trade. I still think we are going to have major regrets in trading Frias, and probably Ragsdale to division foes, for such a ridiculously shallow return.
  12. This is how I see things happening. Adams could get the call up once rosters expand or due to the next injury. I think he gets first crack at a job. Can he run with it and be a possibility in 2027 as part of a platoon? I think Burke is next in line for 1B, and could come as early as the start of the 2027 season if there is one. I don't think we see him in 2026. Fischer in 2027, could split time at 1B, 3B, and DH. I am thinking after the all star break, not at the start of the season. (If only Yelich wasn't a problem, he is going to be an issue the next two seasons) All depends on what is going on with Made, and if they view him as their 3B of the future. If Made is that guy, then this logjam gets even murkier. Bitonti is still a couple seasons away from that decision, but he's pushing it in A+ currently, could he be a guy we trade at next year's deadline or during the off season? I hope not, his power is immense!!!! If you've seen his power live, and in person, it is just AWESOME! Wilken and Boeve are just not in our plans anymore imo. These are guys I can easily see being traded as throw-ins, or not protected, or DFA'd in the future. There just isn't going to be room for Burke, Fischer, Adams AND Bitonti once he's ready. There is going to have to be some kind of movement sooner of later. It;s a good problem to have I guess...
  13. With the future logjam we have at 3B/1B/DH, what is going to happen with these guys? Who do we keep and give the opportunity, and who eventually gets traded, or possibly goes unprotected in the Rule 5 draft. (I know the first 4 listed will not go unprotected when it gets to that point, but Wilken and Boeve just don't seem to be part of our plans anymore, so...) Fischer (1B, 3B) Burke (1B) Adams (1B, 3B) Bitonti, (1B, 3B) Wilken (3B, 1B) Boeve (3B)
  14. Yelich isn't retiring, that isn't going to happen. In a perfect world, that would be awesome, but in this world... Not a chance!
  15. Jackson Chourio (R) LF Brice Turang (L) 2B William Contreras (R) C Jake Bauers (L) RF Andrew Vaughn (R) 1B Christian Yelich (L) DH Joey Ortiz (R) SS Garrett Mitchell (L) CF David Hamilton (L) 3B
  16. Go hang out there then. I think that's a good place for you and your holier than thou posse...
  17. Dickinson has been a treat to watch this season, just keeps getting better and better and better and better,...
  18. This is laughable. Goes both ways, why do you care how others post? Why do you care if people tell others what they think? This is tedious.
  19. Is there any kind of chance that both Vaughn and Bauers are gone for 2027? I'm thinking yes. I pretty much think they will bring Vaughn back, but there is a chance that we are seeing two rooks splitting time at 1B, or one just winning the position outright.
