    Now he's just got to work on the back foot

    Did Schoop hit a line drive or a grounder?
  3. homer
    At the end of the day the lineup order probably doesn't have much of a bearing on the outcome of a game.

    Yah I was never particularly thrilled with that trade, even from the start. 3.5 or 4.5 years of Will Smith (whatever it was) and we got a once good catching prospect and a nice pitching prospect...but one seemed destined for a high leverage bullpen role. Seemed like a light return and now looks terrible because we started competing so fast and our return is absolute junk now. Smith threw 40 innings in 2016, didn't pitch in 2017, and missed the first month of 2018. Let's see how the rest of this year and next season go before declaring it a busted trade.

    Did you know she was born in Milwaukee? Also she is still alive? I didn't know either of these things until 30 seconds ago. RIP Charlotte Rae
  6. homer
    Good point. I didn't take positional logjam into account.
  7. homer
    I think once cuts start happening you'll see GB pick up a guy or two.
  8. homer
    What are the odds that Fry gets a bump to Wisconsin for the rest of the season?
  9. homer
    I wonder if the "spray" hitter will gain value going forward?
  10. homer
    I know it happened to others around the same time that I applied. I think they were just inundated with new users during the bitcoin craze and didn't have server capacity to handle it.

    Oops, I deleted my post accidentally. Yeah I applied then heard literally nothing for a month so I sent them an email. They replied saying something like their third party something something had rejected my application. Sorry, go trade somewhere else. So I forgot about them and then a few months later they sent me a welcome email. Really bizarre.

    You just came off a ban. Probably wise not to start this junk before the game even begins.
  13. homer
    Yeah it's dirt cheap. They don't trade all stocks though. A bunch of companies I've wanted to buy weren't available.
  14. homer
    "use" is a strong word. I have an account and a few stocks but I don't trade regularly. It's my fun money to invest in small and micro caps.

    I like Phillips the person. I just think there are too many red flags with his swing for him to ever be a consistent hitter. 4th outfielder seems to be his ceiling, IMO.
  16. homer
    I don't know what my list will look like but I do know that Jeff Pickler will be #1.
  17. homer
    So if Brett Phillips puts up good numbers while starting, why couldn't he put up good numbers as a starter in Colorado Springs?
  18. homer
    Probably a lot different than South Central Los Angeles.... where the preferred gear is the St.Louis Cardinals... Why? I learnt from my 2+ months of jury duty on a gang murder trial in LA that many of the gangs in LA have a "stone" included in their names like the "Pea stones" or "bitty stones" and that Stoner Love is also a big part of their lingo, making the Cardinals the obvious choice. So, if you are in LA and get lost and notice a lot of St. Louis Cardinal gear, get your butt the heck out of there.... There used to be a gang in Boston I think that had all Packer gear. GB = gang banger.
  19. homer
    I was just in north central wisconsin. I saw a TON of brewer gear.

    Actually our Bullpen is 3rd in the majors in GB% so there's a good argument that when the SP comes out, Arcia should be the first defensive substitution (if he isn't already in the lineup) and if Schoop comes in it should be at 2B... Interesting. I didn't realize that.
  21. homer
    I'd include Brewers pitching as part of the equation (i.e. Defense). The Brewers starters are 28th in the majors in GB% with Peralta and Anderson as having the lowest GB% followed closely by Guerra... Given Chacin and Miley are both high GB% pitchers, Arcia should start when they are on the mound, but we should consider Schoop for starts at SS when Peralta & Anderson are pitching and possibly Guerra as Arcia's defense is minimized when there aren't many GB... Yep. And our bullpen has a huge K% so the defensive issues are mitigated to a degree there.

    This is a good synopsis of how playing time will probably be divvied up: If shortstop doesn’t quite work out, then Schoop becomes a platoon guy who gets starts at second and third with the occasional shortstop start and a bunch of pinch-hits off the bench. It isn’t the worst outcome. Then, next season, Schoop can take over at second base while Shaw moves back to third base and Moustakas is gone. Schoop’s arrival also buys some time for the Brewers’ best prospect, Keston Hiura, who started the year at High-A and has hit well on his promotion to Double-A. He can now be eased into the Brewers lineup after some time at Triple-A next season. The Brewers might not have gotten the pitching they wanted; at worst, though, they added a bench bat and a potential starter for next season. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/brewers-acquire-jonathan-schoop-presumably-to-play-infield/

    There is zero chance Aguilar gets sent down even if he had options left.
  24. homer
    Miley looks like a thug from the movie Roadhouse.
  25. homer
    Sad he's stuck on a meh team. He is probably underrated believe it or not. Might be the best player ever. Could certainly make an argument.
