  1. In 1983 Tony Armas had 36 homers while hitting .218 with a .707 OPS. Closest guy I could think of as comparable off the top of my head.
  2. That infield got drenched. They might not be able to play tonight.
  3. Called him out on the radio too. "Dove after he had the ball secured".
  4. Nice inning for Ashby. That has to feel good walking off the field after a 3 up-3 down.
  5. I'm not a fan, exactly, of the man on 2nd. But I think the benefit has been that in extras, we are not just seeing batter after batter going to the plate swinging for the fence. I don't know if there's a better way to induce that honestly, and I hate staying up til midnight for 14 inning games that feature little action after the 9th.
  6. Just looking at the radar and weather report, I don't see a strong chance of baseball tonight.
  7. I mean, there are hundreds, literally hundreds of guys in the minors who profile like Hummel. High OBP and a bit of power. To say that he could hit like Mickey Tettleton is such a stretch. If you want to make your argument by taking a 26 year old AAA guy and comping him to Mickey T and then saying a top 5 guy is a left handed Arcia, I could counter that by saying Cooper Hummel comps out like a right handed Kevin Barker and Turang reminds me of a left handed Barry Larkin. If the only thing you ever look at is minor league stats and ignore level, age, scouting reports, video and everything else, and toss in 4 games that a guy played at another position and pencil him in as the FT starter at that position, you'll convince yourself of just about anything. For the record, I was sold on Todd Dunn hitting 350 homers at the big league level. Missed the boat on that one.
  8. Even if Turangs ceiling is somewhere around a Kolton Wong, You're trading a guy who has the potential to be a two and a half to four war player for half of a season of Escobar? You're assuming you can resign him when that is a complete unknown. We all know prospects may flame out, but there are a lot of unknowns. Trading six cost-controlled years of a guy who's ceiling maybe a four to five war WAR for potentially half of a season with the idea that you're going to re-sign a 750 OPS corner infielder for two more years in his 30s it's how small market teams languish and stay out of the playoffs for years and years. There's no guarantee that turang we'll be in All-Star, but seems like the Brewers have to take a chance and hit on some of these guys. You can't just dump them at the first sign of adversity. They cannot compete if they don't give guys like this a chance. That's not how they operate. Without three cost controlled all-star piitchers in our rotation this year would be below 500 right now
  9. I watched the video. The dude was yelling at and waving at the mascot, and looking at the mascot, named Dinger.
  10. You'd give up a consensus top 5 guy (I know, I Know, he's your #23) for a half season rental. I don't even have a rebuttal for that because it's just so short-sighted that there's no argument I even want to try to make against that. I know looking at the stats and loving position guys that can pitch three innings a year is "your thing", but I don't even want to try to rebut this, other than to say well, that's your position and there's a lot more to scouting and moving guys up than looking at the stats on B-R. Weston Wilson has pitched one inning in 5 years of minor league ball and now he can "pitch in a pinch"? Literally any position player can pitch in a pinch, even Willians Astudio. That doesn't mean he should, or you ever want to be in the position where you're making that choice.
  11. Dillard is awful at this. His funny guy stuff isn’t nearly as funny as it seemed to be a few years ago It's easy to be funny for 5 to 15 minutes. 3 hours is a long time to fill. Uecker has years and years and years of life and baseball experience and he just has a knack for telling real life stories in a funny way because he has a boatload of charisma. Dillard just seems to be a try-hard who sounds like he's a bad stand up comic who happened to play minor league baseball who's calling a baseball game.
  12. Ha. Hopefully this is an indication that no one should take my posts too seriously in these in-game threads. I generally read your posts like they are 45% serious and 55% satire, if that helps.
  13. Not ready for the bright lights I guess... He proved otherwise by getting out of it! Coach Cooper would give him an attaboy for gritting his teeth and getting out of it.
  14. What is that based on? Just your own assumption that they aren't trying as hard as they should? I mean, Johnny Cueto isn't some chump pitcher. To deliver a performance without commitment or effort, with lackluster results. Without effort? How do you know this? Again, what are you basing this on? The fact they don't have hits? This is major league baseball. In 162 games, there's going to be MANY games that they "don't have hits". They aren't giving effort because in four innings they only have 2 hits? What??
  15. What is that based on? Just your own assumption that they aren't trying as hard as they should? I mean, Johnny Cueto isn't some chump pitcher.
  16. Anderson is at 63 pitches after 5 innings, so if he stays out of trouble, he *should* be good to go for 7 innings. Cueto is at 70 pitches after 4 1/3. Be nice to get into that Giants pen early, given that they used every single guy last night.
