Bucks off-season thread (non-draft)
DuWayne Steurer replied to coolhandluke121's topic in Other Sports
That sucks, but I don't (or didn't) view Mirotic as essential. They were wrecking the league in the regular season before they got him, and he was pretty bad in the playoffs. I'm sure given more time in the system he would have been fine (and more likely "Good"), but I feel like MIrotic was pretty far down the priority list honestly. We'll see what Horst does to fill the void. Everything's going to depend on where the rest of the dominos fall with Lopez and Brogdon and K-Mid. -
I think there's been a lot of "blame" put on Stearns and/or Counsell for letting Johnson go, but maybe he wanted another challenge. Maybe he didn't like Milwaukee? Maybe the amount of money he was offered in Cinci was just way too much? There comes a point in time where you just can't keep matching an offer. Maybe he felt he needed to prove himself again so he could get himself in line for a managerial position? It's just like free agents when people say "why didn't we sign Kimbrel/Keuchel/or some other random free agent"? There's always reasons someone doesn't sign in a city, and it's not always just money. That being said, Chris Hook currently doesn't appear to be getting the best out of his guys, but it's been half of one season, so as much as it sucks to say it, I'd give him at least the one season before I'd cut bait with the guy to see if he can turn some of these young guys around.

The Onion hasn't been satire for years now. It's just a cheeky actual news outlet.

I would guess back in the old timey days it wasn't all that uncommon. Especially when parks were a lot bigger. That makes sense. Wasn't old Yankee Stadium like 454 to dead center? I know it was pretty deep. The Polo Grounds was like 270 down the lines but over 480 to dead center. Griffith Stadium was absolutely massive all the way around. There were a few other that were huge. The park in Pittsburgh before Three Rivers was pretty big. Like someone else said, some of the parks in the 1800's didn't even have outfield fences. It was pretty rare for batters to hit balls that far, but if they did knock a ball over the outfielders heads, they could roll for a while.

As far as Sabathia goes, the rest of that rotation was pretty average to "meh" except for Sheets. Unless anyone knows of a starter that can come in, pitch every three days and throw a complete game from here to the end of the season, that's not even a comparison worth making. That 2008 rotation wasn't terrible like this one is, it just wasn't good. CC and Greinke didn't make everyone better. They might have pushed starters down a spot in the rotation. But right now we've got absolute garbage from top to bottom in the rotation, except for Woodruff. Unless Stearns somehow trades for Scherzer, STroman, and Bumgarner, it's still a dumpster fire.
-
I mean look what CC and Greinke did for the Crew...Their rotations were nothing special, but all of a sudden those two come in, and it boosts the whole club in each of those years. The year they brought in Greinke they had Marcum, who was pretty darn good up until September, Gallardo who won 17 games, Wolf, who was 13-10 with a 3.69 ERA, and Narveson who was probably the "worst" starter, who started 28 games and went 11-8 with an 89 ERA+ That was a really good rotation.

Triple!

Acuna is an intersting idea. The question becomes do you expect Acuna to continue to be an 850 to 900 OPS guy, and I would say yes and then some. He hasn't even begun to hit his prime yet. The next question is do you expect Yelich to continue to be an 1150 OPS guy for the rest of his years of Team control, and do you expect the Brewers to contend for the next three or four years while the Brewers have him under team control?

Are you suggesting that hot dogs, beer, and cigars are not PEDS?

And Giannis takes home the big award. What an accomplishment. -

Coach Bud, NBA coach of the year. Congrats coach. -
That ball was absolutely crushed by Arcia. Whhhhhooooooof.
-
I'm not mad that we traded a DH for a serviceable 4th OF who can get on base and play solid defense. If Santana was a superstar, that would be one thing, but he's a decent hitter who plays extremely bad defense. There was no place for him in MILW
-
Brewers win on a day yelich not only doesnt homer but goes hitless.
-
This is absolutely the correct take.
-
Puig jumped for that homer by Grandal? That ball was 15 feet over his head.

the explanation is the Braves and Cubs have more resources than the Brewers. I know that's not an explanation people want to hear, but that's the explanation. It is amazing to me how quick Brewer fans are to bail out management by saying they don't have any money, you can't expect them to compete with the Atlanta Braves!! We are a small market team. Draft and develop. Man, I want to own a team in a market where the fans are like we just can't afford anybody. It's unbelievable. Mark Attanasio's money is not my money.

Baseball isn't going to implement a salary cap. Just isn't going to happen. Don't you think it should, though? Let's be fair here -OR- call it what it is -- an unfair professional league that is stacked for bigger market teams. Major Leaning Baseball ... Leaning towards the big cities/markets. No, I really don't. I don't want baseball to be like like either the NFL with a bunch of teams that finish somewhere between 9-7 and 7-9, or the NBA, with such an obscene set of salary cap rules that only 3 out of 10,000 people (including GM's) have a hope of understanding them. It is what it is. Leagues don't have to be "fair". Life isn't fair. Leagues don't have to be fair. The Royals just went to 2 world series just a few years ago. The Brewers were just in the NLCS. The Rays are consistently pretty good. I don't want a cookie cutter league where every team is more or less the same. If you (and/or others) do, that's cool. I simply disagree with that idea.

I think thats about enough for Burnes

I think the IGT conversation is a bad place to judge "what is a successful season". I don't think anybody is saying "everything is fine", but what (some) people seem to be saying is that "yes, there are some players that aren't performing, but there is an OVERWHELMING amount of negativity when the team is still fighting for first place, and that really gets tiresome." Nobody is saying that EVERYTHING is fine (that I have seen), but there are posts every night like "this team is trash" "this team can't win" etc, etc, etc, and it makes you wonder how some people enjoy watching baseball at all. I think "What is a successful season" is a great question, and varies from person to person, but using the IGT conversation of how to judge that is not a great barometer.

Every Brewer fan loved it when Fernando Vina did that. Ha.
