    Nice! Leadoff man on
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    A 355 foot flyball to left center that probably doesnt reach the warning track in most other MLB stadiums is the difference in this game
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Wow was Hayes deep on that bunt, too....
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    Love the idea by Durbin - great play by Hayes is only reason this game isnt tied

    It was the fastball down and in for a called strike 2 that set that slider in the dirt up - Yelich still has yips with hard stuff low and in, stuff breaking towards the knee he shattered with a foul ball and has that hole in his swing now.
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    Man....Turang and Yelich killing run scoring opportunities late tonight with bad ABs - admittedly against some good stuff.
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Gotta have it right here Yeli!
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    Cookie FB and a hittable slider...Lock ridge overmatched
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    Make him get that over the plate for a strike
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    Brutal AB Turang
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    I think his stuff is vulnerable the 3rd time through the order...he still pitched well. Get the bats going already!
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    Totally agree - and the fact that the Brewers honestly could have 5 of their players get votes for NL ROY (Patrick, Henderson, Durbin, Collins, and Miz) while sporting the only record in MLB over a 0.600 winning percentage in early August is unreal. Miz jumping into ROY contention almost instantly is mostly hype but that also correlated to the Brewers getting in the middle of this incredible roll they're on as national media started paying attention.
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    There were signs of that even before the AS break - week to week the runs scored were high for the Cubs as a team, but they were feast or famine game to game. Their bench limitations are catching up to them a bit, too - key guys seem to need more time off than they get, and of course some of what they did first few months of the year collectively just wasnt sustainable.
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    At some point the August schedule will become a grind - it just has to....glad the Brewers are taking care of business now so they build a bit of buffer within the division, and also in turn with the rest of the NL. Pitching help in terms of mlb-caliber depth is on its way - keep the arms fresh if you can and hope Chourio is fully back in a few weeks...I'm starting the Collins for ROY push right now!
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    It's been the right call with the pitchers, IMO - to me the injury risk is great enough to pull the trigger on those type of trades to keep replenishing the farm system and bringing in MLB-ready players who fit how the Brewers play now. The mistake, if you'd call it that, is trading Hader mid-season and not in the offseason - but i still like the potential surplus value Gasser is going to bring this team...not to mention it's still a root cause of getting Contreras here.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    Yep, but when all the Brewers give us to gripe abouts since the trade deadline is wins, I guess we have to find negatives in hard to reach places
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    Hamstring strains are so difficult to know and really are a case by case guess for how long it puts a guy on the shelf - location of where the injury happens, how it happens, and the type/age of player all factor in, too. An MRI would basically confirm whether or not there is a significant tear or not, but can't do much predicting how quickly a guy feels well enough to be able to accelerate full speed without fear of stressed parts of the muscle tearing. Hopefully after a couple weeks he's feeling well enough to start on a rehab assignment, which I'd imagine would get Chourio back in Milwaukee towards the end of the month. Or does the 2-4 week timetable to back to when the injury first happened roughly a week ago already?
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Let's get good Freddy tonight, and keep this train rolling!
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    I think Miz became the favorite because of how lukewarm the rest of the NL Rookie class is for a clearcut frontrunner this season around the AS break - All but certain he won't have enough MLB innings to wind up actually winning the award, and honestly Collins or Durbin would be more deserving if they continue playing to the level he's been at for months now. The fact the Brewers appear to have cornered the rookie of the year market in the NL is incredible.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    It's the Brewers' way when it comes to position players - find a way to play a full week hamstrung and then IL a couple guys.
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    There was nothing the Brewers could have done at this (or any) year's trade deadline to make their roster look like the Dodgers, or the Mets, or the Yankees, or the Phillies - which are loaded with talented and expensive veterans everywhere. The Brewers didnt luck themselves into the league's best record 4 months into the season and wake up one morning, thinking , "boy, we had better get rid of or bench/option 5-6 guys who have helped us get to where we are so far this season so we can also trade a bunch of prospects who could turn into mlb difference makers so we can add more home runs and worse defense at 3rd or short, marginally upgrade more of the bullpen, and add another OF to be left with a roster crunch when Chourio is back" . Would have loved to get an impact, all around SS and actually pushed for using prospect capital and arms to make a splash trade - but that didnt happen. Im not disappointed in the least to have stayed away from the rental market this deadline.
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    These are the type of moves that teams with a million healthy pitchers who are good have the luxury of doing instead of either burning a young arm out or having to send prospects away to fill holes left by a bunch of expensive veteran arms who start breaking down themselves. Bravo, brewers!
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    What relievers would you have recommended the Brewers jettison off their current mlb staff to make room for these 4 relievers, knowing you'd also have to send a bunch of prospects to acquire these new guys, too? The Brewers dont need to replace 1/3rd of their pitching staff. The economics of baseball show up at the trade deadline, too - huge market teams can add constantly knowing they can just cut checks in the offseason to fill holes.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    When a system gets to the level of depth the Brewers currently have, these type of moves actually have to happen - only so many spots on minor league teams for prospects to develop, and when you're about #6 or 7 in the pecking order for playing time at the position you play across a few similar low minor league levels, you're going to be out the door no matter how much talent you might have. There's not room for you there with this team.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    I doubt Cortes had any shot of helping their major league team, either - it was either a trade like this or he may have been DFA'd once they couldn't keep in in a minor league rehab assignment
