I don't think the Brewers have been getting squeezed at all. They have been missing by a lot and have gotten a few generous calls Well I'm just going off Gameday, but the Brewers have been getting screwed on the corners all night. It is consistently favoring the Dodgers Peralta has definitely had a couple generous strike calls tonight. -

I wasn't trying to go crazy over it either probably came off that way though. Just didn't understand all the bashing of schoop after the at bat
-
Pina has seen this zone all night. He needs to swing at that. We have benefited a lot from the generous strike zone
-
You know what I mean man. He hit the ball hard. Obviously it was a double play but not every good hit finds a hole. No need to debate it anymore. I am not a huge schoop guy. Wouldn't have started him tonight. But he got unlucky that didn't find a hole
-
Wide zone all night. Which makes all the walks by the Brewers pitchers even worse but hey only 1 run
-
I saw him hit into a double play. Then you saw what you wanted. Yes that is what happened but he also hit an absolute rocket. He looked bad before that but seriously sometimes you just get unlucky.
-
Are people really complaining about schoop after he just hit our hardest ball of the night? I get he has been bad but that ball was smoked. Just unlucky. Just like Braun's an inning ago
-
These announcers can't get over cc using hader but didn't second guess leaving buehler in at all.
-
Did people watch the rest of our bullpen in game 1 and 2? That move makes a ton of sense. Didn't allow baserunners for the heart of the order. Now those guys are coming up in the 9th with not a lot going on. This may not be a must win but it is pretty darn close.

I love moose at 3rd. He is so good
-
After some of the crazy debates and discussions in the in game threads I can't believe we are talking about not posting about the Packers That was an illegal slide
-
They really squeezed Chacin on that at bat to manny
-
Were you the same guy who said there was no way we were good enough to catch the Cubs? Nope, I was actually one of the most optimistic on the possibility of catching the Cubs...or at least that they didn’t have the division. So feel free to go check my post history. Sorry man. Realize who I mistaked you for.

Don't watch much baseball outside of the Brewers (two kids take up my time). First time watching buehler. Wow. I remember analysts saying he had the best stuff on their staff and thought it was hyperbole. It wasnt
-
10 to 7 Packers now in case anyone was wondering
-
Cain was right on that one.
-
If people are going to be disgruntled by guys looking helpless at the plate tonight just turn the game off. Buehler has nasty stuff. He was hitting 98 that inning and has good stuff to go with it. Remember how hader makes really good batters look
-
If we are going to go with a bullpen start at all wouldnt it make sense to do it game 2 when the bullpen can get a day of rest after that? Doesnt seem to make sense in games 3 or 4. Could do game 5 if the bullpen isnt used as much in previous days. If you do it game 3 it seems like you would hamstring yourself if you starter doesnt go deep in game 4
-
Yelich stole a base in 3 of the last 4 games. This team runs and will take advantage of a bad catcher
-
Because Schoop sucks and his roster spot could be used by someone more useful. Is it someone who can play IF? Because that is the point right now. I guess Salidino could be the guy. But right now our IF has one guy playing out of position and then one backup if drop Schoop. That is very thin.

Trade Targets Starting Pitching 2018-19
jjfanec replied to jjfanec's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don't think that moves the needle for any team - who's going to want to add $20MM+ to their payroll and take on three guys that were platooned & didn't even make the postseason roster? I team that realized Thames lacked playing time to be consistent, Schoop is a year removed from being really good and the same is true for Davies and Anderson. I dont think you would include all of those guys and think one of our young trio - Peralta, Woodruff, Burnes - would need to be included. But I do think Thames, Schoop, Davies or Anderson could have value to quite a few teams. We forget how deep we really are. Anderson had a pretty solid ERA and a good WHIP this year. He just gave up an insane amount of home runs which isnt the norm for him. Davies is young and has only had one bad year out of 4. His numbers overall would play on most rotations. Thames when playing regularly was putting up great numbers - then he got hurt and Aguilar went off and he just couldnt get on the field and struggled. Thames had an OPS of .900 the first half of the season and of .877 last year. Average that to .890 over a year and a half and he is the 15th best OPS in baseball. He just had a terrible second half. GMs are smart and will look closely at those players. Just like Stearns is smart and will look to see if other outside candidates have the same value and upside as our current guys. Honestly, I like Chase and Davies more that almost all FA pitchers this coming year. -
What are the weaknesses on the Dodgers? You look at that lineup and it seems like they just stacked. The starting rotation is great. Don't know a ton about the bullpen outside of closer. How on Earth did they almost miss the playoffs? Man I wish the cards and Rockies could have knocked them out in the regular season. On paper the Dodgers are a lot better than the Rockies so this series will be a real test as it should be to go to the World Series.

Trade Targets Starting Pitching 2018-19
jjfanec replied to jjfanec's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don't think that if the Brewers have a chance to package some players and consolidate/upgrade their rotation that they'd necessarily pass...but we've now seen it play out through a full season. This staff devalues the role of starting pitcher. They'd have to get a heck of a deal to pull the trigger on a frontline starter. They'll continue to dumpster dive and then use their depth as either a rotation strength or in long relief roles. The thing is with all the pitchers they have - especially if the resign Miley - they could trade a guy or two and still have great depth. Now they could trade for an upgrade at catcher and thin out the rotation there but if they packaged a bat and pitcher for a pitcher that really wouldnt decrease the number of starters. This is also predicated on a healthy Nelson. Not a Nelson who is a complete stud but one who is a solid starter. you would have 1. Chacin 2. Nelson 3. Miley 4. Burnes 5. Peralta 6. Woodruff 7. Davies 8 Anderson 9. Guerra Trading even two starters and a bat for one higher end starter would still let your rotation be 8 guys deep. I dont know the trade market well enough but say the Mets wanted a bat for a guy like Wheeler. What type of bat and pitcher would it take? They obviously need hitting and maybe even relief pitching. Could a trade be had there? Wheeler was lights out the second half of the year. Or a lesser deal for a guy like Kyle Gibson. We have a glut of OFers. We have a lot of guys who can play 1B. We have a lot of starters. If a deal is there I would rather go this way than overpay for a starter in free agency.
