    Did you want Attanasio to go out and pitch to Alonso last year to prove he wanted to win it all? Maybe he should have gotten the best closer in baseball at the time to do it... Dang, bad fan base and owner. Not wanting it. All of 'em head in the clouds and delusional. If he could only assemble a roster to have the best record in baseball this year... Maybe that will prove he wants to win it all. Ehh, probably not. Delusional. Some of them just don't get it like us, BigRed. We are the ones that want it the most. We know.

    When you acquire a player you also get his contract. So unless you think we can trade him this off-season, I'm not sure how we'd only get him for just this playoff run and avoid his remaining salary owed.

    Someone said sell high on Priester hahaha

    I hate to use the money analogy again but no team is going to give you a dollar bill for 20 nickels. They are not going to trade us the best pitcher in the National League during his affordable years and not get a single top five prospect back from us. They likely wouldn't do it without getting AT LEAST 2 of our top 5.

    This thread is such an interesting read and I say this with no malice ... just observing. It's interesting the perspectives ... some people are hoping we can trade Tyler Black for Eugenio Suarez and some people are wanting to trade half of our farm system for Otto Lopez. The bell curve on perceived value is wild.

    How much of the team does Mark own?
  7. liveforoctober
    Salary. No go unfortunately :(

    Gilbert has great stuff. Also, Dillard... "The Mariners know how to pitch man, they don't walk guys, they pitch to contact and when they get you on the ropes they try to strike you out." Rewriting the pitching code here..
  9. liveforoctober
    Correct.

    Maybe a 4 inning start for Miz here. I don't know if they want him throwing over 60/70 pitches.

    I asked for last year's numbers and you added this year's into it. I'd politely ask that you not pad the stats for one side of the argument. I'll restate my stance. I like Lopez. I'd welcome him on the team. I don't think it's fair to write off Ortiz over a bad offensive first half of a season, especially when he has shown marked improvement over the last stretch and the player you are replacing him with is somewhere between the same and marginally better. That isn't even considering the cost of acquisition - which the OP has suggested be 4 players including Cooper Pratt. Vibes are a real thing. If you jettison Joey for Lopez the extra output in production has to offset the potential Hader effect. I both hope I'm right and Joey wins us the World Series and I also hope I'm wrong and Lopez wins us the World Series. In my humble opinion the two guys to upgrade for the stretch run are Bauers and Mona. Hopefully one of those replacements is a LHB 1st baseman and the other one is a guy who can provide power off the bench. I think we could replace Joey but it has to be a significant upgrade.. not a parellel+ move.

    Lopez had a better first half than Joey. I don't think he is an obvious upgrade moving forward. Why don't you put last year's numbers up? I like Lopez ... but he was a DFA guy a year+ ago. Glad he has found a home. I could be very wrong but I don't see an obvious reason why Joey won't outproduce him in totality from now until EOY.
  13. liveforoctober
    Miz for the burgers.
  14. liveforoctober
    Pass for me as well. Lopez isn't an obvious upgrade to Ortiz and would be too rich as an upgrade to Mona.

    The GM would be wise not to even mention trading Skenes until his controllable years are up. If I'm the owner and my GM, who hasn't been able to field me a competitive team, asks me if we can trade the one guy on our team that makes me money.. we would very soon be in the market for a new GM.

    Last time the Brewers had the best record in baseball this late in the season was 1982. I love Bob Uecker. Best record in the league. I bet ESPN moves us up to #8 or something in their power rankings..

    My uneducated guess is that Ashby throws something that Cal struggles against maybe? One of his off-speed pitches ... and if Ashby gets him he can just finish the game. If/then scenario...
  18. liveforoctober
    I don't think I want a new shortstop if I'm being honest.
  19. liveforoctober
    The two are not comparable right now. Skenes is a Top 3 pitcher in baseball. Miz has had an electric 20 innings. The Brewers would need to overpay handsomely to get Skenes... and that is with Miz in the deal.
  20. liveforoctober
    It's a dollar bill or 4 quarters scenario. Bad teams don't need dollars, they need quarters to raise their floor. Good teams have a high floor and are looking to raise their ceiling.. they want the dollars (all things equal). Miz is a dollar bill. The Brewers have a bazillion quarters currently. Us trading Miz to acquire 5 more arms would give us like 16 starting quality pitchers and that doesn't help us right now. Hard pass on trading Miz.
  21. liveforoctober
    Can I ask where you got those numbers from?
  22. liveforoctober
    If the Brewers replaced Collins with Black I would go on a hunger strike until it was remedied.

    We are 58-40. I don't think you luck into that. I imagine it is possible to 'luck' into a .500 record if you are a below average team and 'luck' a winning record if you are a .500 team, etc .. so that concept can apply here. Are we one of the 3 best teams in baseball? Probably not ... so we have 'lucked' into that spot. But we are a good team and we are going to be pests in the post season. Who cares what our exit velocity is. We throw it well, we catch it well and we round 'em well. Try to stop us.

    3rd best record in the league. 3rd best run differential. 7th most runs scored. 5th least runs allowed. This team is something else right now and if/when we get to the post season and the Uecker aura really starts building they are going to have a lot of the country fully pulling for them. Buckle up.
  25. liveforoctober
    Dodgers are currently looking at our backsides. 3rd best record in baseball. Sniffing Detroit and reaching for the Cubbies. What a crazy ride.
