  1. Just imagine.. There's probably a good chance there were discussions of DFA'ing Aguilar this spring with the roster crunch we had.
  2. It's interesting that people talk about bullpen over-use, when relief pitchers used to pitch 90 or 100 innings regularly. Look at the innings totals of our own guy, Chuck Crim! https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crimch01.shtml Mike Marshall, Elroy Face, Goose Gossage, etc, etc, etc, etc. These guys weren't appearing in 80, 90 games. They were pitching 2-3 innings at a time. Dan Quisenberry had a 4 year stretch in the 80's where the FEWEST IP in a season he had was 129, without starting a single game. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/q/quiseda01.shtml What's going on now isn't necessarily revolutionary, just managers understanding and realizing that using your best reliever exclusively in the 9th inning with a 1 to 3 run lead is stupid and terrible strategy, and that you are, in fact allowed to use your relievers for more than one inning at a time.
  3. The MLBPA can say what they want.... the occasional guy who goes to a place for reasons other than money isn't going to keep other guys from getting their money if multiple teams are bidding for their services.
  4. That was a laser beam throw and Cain was out by one step. That wasn't really a horrible send with 2 outs.
  5. Who goes? Saladino I guess could be one. Perez is a cat with nine lives. Maybe go short a reliever? I don’t know. Heck, maybe Aguilar since he’s trending backwards through the month of May. Not aguilar.
  6. A quarter of the way through the season and the Brewers have the 2nd best record in the NL. Behind only the Braves?!? Brewers only have a +6 run differential and are 8 games over. I think that says a lot about the bullpen (which we already knew).
  7. It's already time. Now I hope he keeps him there just because of the way you’re acting. Too funny. I'm glad you're amused.
  8. I'm not panicked at all. I'm just glad that there's better options to play than a 34 year old glass man who can't stay healthy and isn't the hitter he used to be. At the very least it's time for Counsell to take the guy out of the 3 spot when he plays. Counsell will let you know when it is time. It's already time.

  10. Advanced data says hold off on this hot take. But you have a right to your opinion. At some point, results matter. Dude looks lost at the plate. I don't care about "exit velocity". Cool, he's hitting some hard foul balls and fly outs. He's OBP-ing about .270 and hitting 3rd, and playing every day that he doesn't have a stubbed toe or a tweaked hammy, and making outs 75% of the time in the 3 spot.
  11. Braun is a sunk cost. At this point the Brewers have more to gain by not playing him than simply saying "we're paying him, so we may as well play him." The guy isn't "our best hitter when healthy", he's not even one of the five best hitters on this team anymore.
  12. Right now rockies fans are like "why does this only happen to us when we face a pitcher making his mlb debut???"
