I mean, I like the idea and execution, but not sure bunting in front of a guy who strikes out as much as Santana does is exactly a great idea. And....... right on queue.... -
Cain seems slightly fired up.
-
Awww man. That's some terrible news to start the day. Davey was never a great broadcaster, but he had a genuine love of the game that was hard not to pick up on. I will say that he was an unabashed homer and I always like that in my broadcasters. RIP Davey.

They need to try something else in Suter's spot. Woodruff, Peralta, Burnes.......something. Dude had a little bit of success last year first time through the league, which is not unheard of. He's a junkballer who nobody had seen before. It's time to get someone in the rotation who has some actual stuff and gets guys out.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
DuWayne Steurer replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Manaea no hit the Red Sox last night, on a semi-controversial call, as Benentendi was called out for running out of the baseline on his way to first base. To me, at least, he was clearly out of the line. It was the right call, and not really controversial. -
Eh. When it was 5 - 3 in the 5th inning, I was feeling alright. With our bullpen, I was confident we weren't giving up more than maybe one more run, and I feel pretty good about the offense right now. They're heating up.
-
Don't look now, but with the walk-off win and the Pirates loss, the Brewers are now tied for first place (with the Cardinals)
-
I've seen estimates as high as 23-24. I'm sure he's not 20. I suspect he's between 22 and 25. Probably on the high end. If he can play 20-ish minutes a night, play good defense, be decent on offense, and rebound (which he really isn't great at yet), he's an asset, regardless of his age right now.
-
Maker has the athleticism to be an asset. Will he ever be an amazing player? I doubt it, but he can be an asset. Dude was amazing last night, when they needed him to be. I think what last night really illustrated was how this team needs a coach that can get players to "buy in" to ANY kind of defensive scheme. When they decide they want to play defense, they CAN be a good defensive squad. They have the length (so much length!) and athletic quality to really give teams trouble.

The Ryan Braun Milestone Thread
DuWayne Steurer replied to splitterpfj's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
To be fair, in Yount's era, any offense above a slap-hitting base stealer you got from a shortstop was considered a bonus. -
With last nights win, the Brewers actually have a positive run differential to go with their over .500 record now.

I would guess pitching 2 innings every 2 or 3 days is better for the arm than pitching 1 inning in back to back games, 3 out of 4 games, etc. Look at all the pitches thrown to warm-up, which don't get counted in the pitch count of course. I think we've reached a point where a lot of the guys have actually said that getting up, warming up, throwing in the BP, sitting down, geting up again, coming in, throwing on the mound, and pitching to 1-2 batters, is more taxing on the arm than warming up once, and throwing 2 innings. Ned Yost used to do that... have guys get up multiple times during a game. It would drive me nuts. Like "man, that guy has pitched 60 innings this year, but I bet he has actually pitched the equivalent of 140 innings".

Reds fire manager Bryan Price
DuWayne Steurer replied to Matt Breen's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's definitely Bryan Price's fault that Joey Votto has 1 XBH and a .588 OPS. The Reds have plenty of guys that can hit. None of them are actually doing it. They were not going to be a good team coming into the season, but with a pitching staff that bad, if nobody hits... well, we're seeing the results. Someone has to be the fall guy, and it's usually the manager. -
It's a knee jerk reaction to having a really terrible spring, weather wise. We've been playing 162 games since the 70's. I could see scaling back to MAYBE the old 154 game schedule, but I doubt even that is going to happen. I mean, we're seeing record snowfalls and low temps for April. That's not a reason to say "we shouldn't play ball in April". This doesn't happen every year, so changing a yearly schedule for something that almost never happens is dumb, and Rizzo is dumb. Could they schedule 3-4 double headers after off days? Yep. I like that idea. Schedule a few less off days in the playoffs? Yep. Also like that idea. Playoffs don't need to stretch almost into November. Expand rosters to 26 or 27 guys, schedule a few less off days, throw some double headers in there, whatever you gotta do. They're not going to shorten the schedule though.
-
Because he is really the only 3-pt threat the Bucks have. When he's objectively and subjectively bad at literally everything else that you can do on a basketball court, that's not good enough of a reason to have him on the floor for 33 minutes.
-
I can't understand how Snell continues to get important minutes in meaningful games.
-
This time I'm CERTAIN you meant this to be in blue.
-
I don't think the reds bullpen sucking means it's a mistake that they released a washed-up 32 year old Gallardo. I'd rather have a sucky bullpen with some young guys that MIGHT have some promise in the future, rather than a 32 year old Gallardo who is almost certainly done and finished. They're not competing this year, so I don't see any point in hoping to get something out of him. It's not like they're going to flip him for something at the deadline.
-
And those advanced stats about Jeter were pretty correct. He was a pretty bad shortstop with very limited range. Rafael Palmeiro won a gold glove in a season in which he played 28 games at first base, so are you really basing defensive prowess off of gold gloves won? Most of the guys that vote on that don't even know if the guys they're voting on have even played the position. Unless you were meaning to be sarcastic, in which case, use the blue font, and make it obvious.
-
1 game to go and the Bucks are somehow clinging to the 6th seed. You almost have to feel for the Nuggets. They're on the outside looking in, and they're 3 games out of the 3 seed in the west. There's literally 3 games of separation from being out of the playoffs, and hosting a series. The west is nutso this year.

To steal a former poster's catch line.... "oof" To be fair though, Ohtani had a really brutal spring. Hard to judge a guy on spring stats though of course. -
Let's keep lineup discussion regarding specific game days in the game threads for that specific day. If we want to discuss the merits of carrying Sogard/Perez, we can either move that to the 25 man thread, or start a separate thread for that. Thanks.

DuWayne Steurer replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
https://deadspin.com/shohei-ohtani-is-very-clearly-not-from-this-planet-1825094229 Just a heads up, the author uses a bit of foul language in the article. Ohtani is the first pitcher since Steve Woodard (!!!) to go 7 innings, strike out 12, and allow 1 hit or less and no runs in either his first or second major league start. Only Ohtani, Woodard, and Juan Marichal are now in this club. If there was ANY doubt that Ohtan is the real deal.... wow. His first two weeks have been absolutely nutso. -

Yeah i saw that. Just ridiculous. Rendon is about the most mild mannered dude in the game. -
That's not entirely on Hosmer. He's sprinting in to try to catch a ball that is literally 10 feet away from where the catcher is just standing and pointing. Should Hosmer have caught it? Yup. But he's sprinting to a spot that's probably 90+ feet away from where he started, and 10 feet away from where the catcher started.
