  1. It's not the opinion that is the issue, it is everyone else "knowing better" than a successful FO that is the issue. I've been on record and I remain on record hoping we would have/will upgrade both Bauers and Mona. But the Brewers have earned the right to be right, imho. So if Arnold didn't think the price to get a backup IF was worth the ask and/or was an upgrade to Mona, etc ... then I believe him! We have no idea how the negotiations went... so how can we all be sure we did it wrong? We will see how it pans out and who ends up being right in the end. Since the deadline has passed Mona has made us all look silly. Just really funny to me how many people already know the answers to questions that have not yet been asked. Not getting Castro might end up costing us a World Series, who knows. Maybe not getting him ends up winning us a World Series. Who knows. "Man I wish we had gotten another infielder" is worlds away from "Arnold failed and doesn't care".
  2. Yeah but the Giants are going for it obviously so I'm sure their fans are cool with it.
  3. "We had a chance to improve" = "we had a chance to add a name I have heard of" Imagine walking up on an artist painting a stunning mural in your town. Something bigger and more beautiful than anything your town had ever seen up to that point... and having the irrational confidence to go tap them on the shoulder to suggest some edits because you use to do water colors in the 6th grade.
  4. Folks in the Fox Valley - just a note, the TRats only have 12 remaining home games on the season as hard as that is to believe. If Made and Pena show out at all, they have a good chance to start next year in AA ... so you have 2 remaining six game home stands to get out and see them!
  5. Truly, there will be a point pretty soon where an opposing GM will call us asking about a trade just to hear the names that we are interested in so that they can lock those guys up to long-term deals.
  6. Wait so Lockridge is a ballplayer? Who would have thunk it. Where are all of our friends from deadline day anyway? I miss them.
  7. We definitely do not need to get into this argument again for the 300th time this year... But I will never understand the "championship or I'm unhappy" mindset. It is fully possible to both enjoy any and all success in the regular season and then also be disappointed in end of year results. This team is so fun and my summer has been so enjoyable so far. I feel bad for those who are hand wringing right now because they are anticipating an NLCS collapse that they can't enjoy these days.
  8. Little side quest to monitor... If Logan Henderson exceeds 45 days on the major league roster this year he loses his rookie status next year. I'm assuming this is a one day and done scenario... but let's see. I want the draft pick for his ROTY win next year ;)
  9. That would be slick, but I wonder how often you would get away with it. After a 2nd time where a lefty reliever gets pulled from a game but doesn't go on the IL? Is that when eyebrows raise?
  10. I thought the same thing immediately. He would miss today against the Nationals and then a home game against the Mets... then would be eligible to come back on 8/15 against the Reds. But if they held him back one more rotation through beyond that he would be returning for the Cubs series. I'm not calling shenanigans but this seems strategic.
  11. I guess this would be one way to manage his innings. Retroactive to 7/31.
  12. I do like the timing of the Burke call up. He has struggled here as of late but otherwise had smashed Midwest League pitching. A call up here should rejuvenate his focus and if he has a good showing, puts him in a potential spot to be in Nashville next year and one step away from helping the big league team. Pulling for him. Also, it does seem that opens the door wide open for Fischer to start in Appleton.
  13. I'm not going to be overbearing about following and comparing Suarez/McMahon to our 3b the rest of the way... But this was as hostile a trade deadline as I can remember with the demand of a good portion of the fan base for one specific position... So I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure to see how it pans out Seigler/our 3b did have more hits yesterday than Suarez/McMahon combined for those keeping track..
  14. $12mil/yr for a bench bat though :(
  15. If you Google his name you should be able to find some links to his stat lines on the season, then you would just need to only look at the last 25 at bats, those would be his New York stats. Also while you are there take a peak at the offensive production of our 3b during that same time frame ;)
  16. So if in the next 10 years we win the division 6 times, make the playoffs 8 times, make it to the NLCS 3 times and make 2 world series but never win the whole thing ... are we still not trusting that the FO is doing something right because we don't have a title?
  17. Oh no now Jansen getting on base and scoring. What a disaster of a night for the trade deadline doom squad.. 😂 😂 😂
  18. I'm not disagreeing with you because I would not have started him or played him or traded for him... BUT ... Maybe there is something to this irrational belief that we are shoving down all these misfits faces that are causing them to believe in themselves finally and thrive?
  19. We will see them for a few weeks later this year when one of Ortiz or Durbin gets hurt for a minute. But yes.. they are due back in October.
  20. Mona getting big hits. Ortiz getting big hits. A certain few who lost their minds at the deadline yesterday must be sick.
