    Because it's just an excuse to DH in an environment that will be unpleasant? Why didn't anything come up when he was hitting .600 this spring?
  2. Roscoe Chill
    Billy Beane is hilarious. That is all.
  3. Roscoe Chill
    What an awful trade for Seattle. As someone pointed out, this one will get Jack Z fired.

    Can you really enter total rebuilding mode with the likes of Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Zambrano on your payroll? Does anyone really think they're just going to wait until these contracts are off the books to try and win? Did Theo Epstein leave Boston for the Cubs for some long rebuild? Let's get real. Aramis Ramirez? Two years $25M, done. Worry about Taylor Green later.

    If you hadn't watched this show ever before this season, you would have already stopped watching and declared it is a complete bomb. It's awful.

    All I have to say is wow.

    Wasn't it Game 3 when Prince was laughing sitting in the dugout in the 9th inning of a one run loss? I thought Game 5 was when Prince was laughing on the way back to the dugout after striking out? Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear I thought more negatively of the laughing because it was such a close game...and they were losing. But I think the main point of this thread is that the Brewers seemed to 'not have their game face on' for most of the series. Maybe this fun loving bunch didn't have it in them, I don't know, but the Cardinals were all business and the Brewers seemed nonchalant.

    So that two years makes you want to trade away more of our depleted farm system before you even know what Gamel can do at the big league level? Weirder... more weird... No, actually the point of that is we keep talking about Mat Gamel and Logan Morrison is two years younger with 500 more ABs in the major leagues already. Either Gamel isn't that good, or the Brewers have a problem with going with younger players, or both. In Gamel's case, I think most people around here are on board with giving him a shot. Shoot over to a Wily Peralta thread (and others) and you'll see the mindset of needing more time in the minors...which again is weird. Once a "prospect" gets in to his mid to late 20s, and they're still not helping out the big club, the shine comes off quite a bit, doesn't it? It does for me as far as expectations go, that's for sure. Anyway, where did I say Gamel should be traded?
  9. Roscoe Chill
    Except Morrison is two years younger than Gamel. Weird, huh?
  10. Roscoe Chill
    Heaven forbid they call on a guy before he turns 25.

    Happy Flight! Happy Flight! Happy Flight! Come on, this isn't new. The Twins were "sniffing out steaks" or whatever it was a couple years ago, as it was pointed out, a lot of teams do similar things. They could have been as robotic as the stupid Happy Flight Cardinals. Seriously, how dorkish was that crap?
  12. Roscoe Chill
    You guys might want to wait for a few weeks to actually talk about this. If he goes 8 tomorrow night and wins and then continues in the NLCS and hopefully the World Series, perceptions will change...on both sides of the argument.
  13. Roscoe Chill
    Oh, I forgot the other funny thing from last night: The Pyramid! "You need to unleash the power of the pyramid!" That was funny?
  14. Roscoe Chill
    I'm now only watching to see how stupid and bad it gets. Fail.
  15. Roscoe Chill
    I don't hate the Robert California addition, but James Spader is just an intelligent, quirky, weird, creepy guy in real life that plays himself in every role is my take.
  16. Roscoe Chill
    Just out of curiosity, what did you guys like about the episode? I thought it was terrible, not funny at all. Andy Bernard is replacing Michael Scott basically, and I don't just mean as Manager. It didn't happen overnight, but they've destroyed Andy Bernard's character. He used to be hilarious when he had issues with his temper. Fast forward to today and he's supposed to carry the show with no funny characteristics whatsoever?
  17. Roscoe Chill
    Epic failure.

    This is what me and Rawbecht were both trying to say, because NDOG stated that he was only brought in as injury insurance, and that doesn't make any sense. Ok the point is that they wanted Green to be an option...be eligible for the playoffs. I did say injury insurance, but as far as making sense, you guys keep agreeing with me and saying that you're disagreeing with me. He was brought up when he was because they now have the option to play him in the playoffs. The option. I could be wrong, but if Casey McGehee were to break his leg tonight, I don't think they can just have Green on the playoff roster had he been brought up yesterday. That injury clause is for players getting injured in the playoffs isn't it?
  19. Roscoe Chill
    Yes, they wanted him ELIGIBLE for the playoffs. That was my point. It's my understanding you had to be up in the show before August 31 to be eligible for the post season. Rawbecht disagrees with me, but then says exactly what I mean with his last sentence. He's done enough to show that if need be, he might be a better long term option than Josh Wilson and/or Craig Counsell...by long term, I'm obviously talking this year. Spot starts, and in game subs? That's still going to be Counsell and Wilson (at least until Weeks gets back). Is that smart? Again, I don't think so. But I'd still bet against Green even being on the playoff roster...but he can be, that's my point.

    So after tearing up AAA all year in his first season at that level, what is he? An afterthought? Do you think his prospect ranking will jump dramatically after his year in AAA? For the record, did I ever say that Green shouldn't be playing? I just can't believe people are surprised that he's not. He was brought up before the deadline in case someone gets hurt for the playoffs. He's now eligible. But he's not going to play much. Is that the right decision? I'd say no, but this isn't a hard one to predict. "The last piece to a World Series" talk was highly exaggerated, and I think for the most part his value is overhyped around here, but no he's not just an afterthought...but he is this year, and again that was an easy one to see coming.
  21. Roscoe Chill
    I can't believe people are actually shocked about Green's bench warming. This isn't Buster Posey. This isn't Paul Goldschmidt (who's a top 50 overall prospect). Green was brought up before the deadline in case of an emergency. He's not going to play much.
  22. Roscoe Chill
    He should have been called up long ago, but missing piece to the World Series run? I've got my money on him not being on the playoff roster.
  23. Roscoe Chill
    First of all, I didn't say that I didn't think they would make the playoffs. I was suggesting that I didn't know if they WILL make the playoffs. I should have been more clear but what I meant was that even if the Brewers are the favorites to win the Cenral next year (and they probably will be), it still could be coinflip odds of them even making the playoffs. It's just the way it works. Furthermore, it shouldn't be shocking to anyone that sometimes a team's record doesn't always represent their true collective talent. While the Brewers currently have the record of an elite team, their underlying component stats suggest they are closer to a true 90 win team. Hell, the Brewer's simple pythagorean record has them on pace for 88 wins. Considering they were projected to win around 88 wins before the season started, is that really that surprising? You don't know if they WILL make the playoffs? Well no kidding, no one does. They'd still be the favorites if Prince comes back. This predicting the future stuff doesn't work as you just explained in the second paragraph. They are what they are. If they win 100 games (not saying they will), they're a 100 win team. As far as the Nationals go, you'd have to think that the Jayson Werth debacle makes this not only possible, but downright likely that they wouldn't be in the game for Fielder...which is obviously good.

    This thread makes me feel a lot better about my past (negative) posts about Sheets. I was balancing the discussion out I guess. Seriously? A thread about Sheets coming back to the Brewers?
  25. Roscoe Chill
    You want to know who's overrated? Most every prospect.
