    Cub fans have to absolutely despise scoreboard watching and seeing this lineup playing at over a 0.900 winning percentage clip for weeks at a time. Just fantastic
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    That was a hanger.
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    Just horrible...last one was closest of all of those pitches, but just brutal sequence by the umpire there
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    It's a coin flip at anything within 4 inches of the zone at this point. Should be 3-0 count
  5. Fear The Chorizo
    Omg ump
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    Somehow the Brewers will score 2 this inning with no hits
  7. Fear The Chorizo
    Ball 5
  8. Fear The Chorizo
    Is Siegler stuck in cement? How did he not beat that out??
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    Mariners 1B suddenly cant catch a ball
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    Yeah...but both were bad calls on his part ....back to the on the field action, how is nobody injured after that sequence?
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    After a jam shot single you take Gilbert out there? Thank you very much
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    You have to wonder if taking a 60 day IL stint to actually heal that finger wouldve been a better decision for the stretch if Contreras was fully healthy right now
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    This ump is having a really, really bad night. Getting ahead in counts with this stuff on balls just limits any sort of aggressive swings in hitters counts
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    Didn't think to write it before the at bat...but wish Hall finished this inning to not watch Mears give up a tater to Cal. Saw it coming miles away
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    Blue has had a very uneven game back there...quite a few pitches on the black getting called balls from Brewer arms so far and Gilbert is getting a couple inches on the outside corner consistently
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    He was identified as the best defender in the NL as a 2B....even though he could play short, I'd leave Turang at 2B and keep only 1 position in flux.

    I think you are way undervaluing our leftovers - because with the exception of Black, each of them have proven to be MLB regular-caliber players and have years of MLB control remaining. One of the names I mentioned in my previous post included as part of a trade that also includes a younger prospect or two would be plenty to land a Suarez-caliber bat. I do get the hesitancy to try and bolster the lineup at the expense of defense with a trade though. I wrote earlier both Durbin and Ortiz have been awesome of late.
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Yeah there will always be criticism on that - but IMO the Brewers almost need to trade away some guys people will cry "Selling too low!" or "overpaying for a rental!!" just to maintain longer term roster flexibility with what is coming up through the system. Look for the mix of developed prospects who are positionally blocked by some of their young talent already in Milwaukee, and guys who are either currently on or would need to be on the Brewer 40 man roster to avoid being lost to rule 5 or DFA/option limited. I've always wanted to give Mitchell more than enough chances to both stay healthy and get a season's worth of at bats because I think he could have a couple MLB 30/30 seasons with GG caliber defense. I think, despite being injured, he may be on the block just to try and get some return for his potential along with guys like Black, Carlos Rodriguez, Patrick, Myers, etc for the right veteran bat to give the lineup a boost at 3rd or SS.

    With the 24th ranked payroll, Arnold has the Brewers 100 games into the season with MLB's best record, and honestly has many options for players not on the current 26-man active roster either rehabbing or sitting in AAA that could help add to the club down the stretch (Gasser, Cortes, Henderson, Patrick, Peguero, Yoho, Frelick, Mitchell, Quero, Hoskins, etc/etc). I think SS/3B is probably the spot if the Brewers want to make a splash at the deadline where they should go - but both Durbin and Ortiz have been a big part of the recent surge the Brewers are on, too. They've also got a deep enough farm system where overpaying a bit for a key bat actually makes sense at the deadline to help sort out future 40 man roster decisions the next few offseasons. To answer the title of this thread, perhaps Arnold should start getting criticism from Brewer fans when he gets poached by a different large market team after winning consecutive MLB executive of the year awards.
  20. Fear The Chorizo
    This team is just so damn fun to watch right now
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Keep adding on, offense - feels like winning team needs 8 tonight

    agreed 100% Woody chose to take things year to year in effort to cash in via free agency the same way the Brewers' organization opted to not offer him a market-rate longterm extension and go year to year in arbitration. With baseball money being guaranteed, such is the nature of how this works - particularly for pitchers, who I think are becoming alot like the NFL version of running backs in today's game - valuable pieces for a team who wants to contend, but increasingly replaceable if you are good at identifying arm talent and not worth paying market rates in free agency once they surpass their prime production years (i.e., turn 30) due to injury risk and performance decline.

    He's made two MLB starts since the calendar rolled to 2024, and was paid to rehab an entire 1.5 seasons by Milwaukee. There may have been other suitors, but it was far from a bidding war Let's slow down with worrying about whether or not the Brewers should make Woodruff a QO or try to rush and extend him until we know his shoulder holds up well into September this season.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    If you want or need the ASG bonus that badly, then accept the offer of being named an all star with the caveat you need to be available to pitch....or be better at pitching so you're named to the initial all star team and can decline to pitch respectfully. The only reason Miz made the AS team was because these other pitchers declined to be under the same conditions before he was even extended that invite. To then have teammates complain to the media publicly on your behalf is just childish.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Call me a miser, but I'd rather the Brewers take things year to year with any pre-arbitration arm compared to extending them longterm right away...unless they are good with a Freddy Peralta-type extension that is extremely team-friendly and guarantees the pitcher spends his entire prime (i.e., through age 30 season) under that contract as a Brewer. The injury risk is just too high, and the Brewers have proven over and over again that they can find MLB-caliber pitching at prices way, way below free agent market value. I love that Miz is a Brewer - I'd hate to read him being signed to some insane contract extension that merely buys out 1 season of free agency and dramatically escalates what he'd be paid compared to fully healthy years of arbitration.
