The problem with arguing with casuals (and I say that super respectfully and am not pointing at specific people here) is that they don't know who either of those guys are or the process needed to run a small market organization like ours. We need to acquire volume and we need to scratch from every avenue to get it. A lot of that volume isn't going to pan out. That's the process. We could have traded Burnes for Ortiz, the Orioles entire AA team, 1% of the city of Baltimore's annual GDP, Under Armour headquarters, and royalty rights to "The Raven" by EAP and the response to Ortiz' development from many would be the same "we should have gotten a better headliner for Burnes, bad trade". It's actually why I've stuck around these boards as long as I have. Really good fans here. My daily life is filled with "If I were Milwaukee I would give Kyle Schwarber an 8 yr. $240 mil deal tomorrow... we need his bat". I come here (minus the in game threads) for baseball sanity.
-
The Brewers giving Woodruff $22mil and the Mariners giving Naylor $92.5mil are not the same thing as much as you'd like them to be for the sake of your argument.
-
You used one period in that entire rant and you used it incorrectly. During said rant you suggested we extend Vaughn AND sign Josh Naylor... so, you know, you're doing great.

American Family Field-Mixed Development Update
liveforoctober replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I can't and won't speak on the logistical side of what would need to be done. From a bird's eye view this seems to be the way things are trending for any team across all sports that has the space to create this type of destination. It especially seems appropriate for an MLB team that hosts 81+ big league events each year compared to an NFL team that holds 8+. -
So my understanding is he gets the $10mil from the buyout regardless... So if he accepts the QO he will be making $32mil next year in total? If he doesn't get a multi year offer from anyone and the best he is offered is something like 1/$25m... I can see him taking the $3mil cut to stay here where we will win and he is comfortable. With a lockout looming.. any multi-year offer that provides more security would be a no brainer for him to grab.
-
There is a very good chance the Brewers roster looks the exact same next year. Contreras/Haase, Vaughn/Bauers, Peralta/Priester/Miz/Henderson/Myers/Gasser, etc I'm certain there will be a surprise somewhere and the bullpen will be re-armed but of any season that I've ever known in my lifetime, this is the most "just transfer this year's team to next year" roster we have ever had.
-
The legend of Coleman Crow begins.
-
Just re-sign Haase to be the backup for a month+ .. I can't imagine he will get another guaranteed major league offer. If he knows he will get 8 weeks in the bigs and will be the first call if an injury happens after - that should be enough to bring him back.

Brewers claim LHP Sammy Peralta off waivers from LAA
liveforoctober replied to folly412's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Well, we have had a Peralta on our roster since 2012 so if any of the trade rumors come to fruition with Freddy this will ensure that streak continues. -
In 9 post season games against the #2 and #5 scoring offenses in baseball the Brewers arms gave up a total of 32 runs. The pitching was World Series ready. Unfortunately, the bats just never arrived against LA.
-
I'm also on board with Bauers and Vaughn both playing tonight. A couple different ways to make that happen... I'm ok with either of them.
-
Cubs fans and "the luckiest team in baseball" pundits are about to have some things to say lol
-
that's the craziest thing ive ever seen
-
Does Chourio catch that?
-
I think all 4 of the starters we will see in this series make more than our whole staff if I'm not mistaken..
-
I sang the Riesterer and Schnell jingle but with "Priesterer and Snell" no less than 14 times that half inning...
-
A Mariners/Brewers WS would be such a joy to watch for the unbiased fan. Baseball purists SHOULD revel in that matchup.
-
I'll allow it.
-
I love Ashby purposely walking Ohtani so he could take care of Freeman the first time through for Priester. Great pitching ;)
-
Ashby is fire.
-
Soooo.... Toronto is going to lose both home games to start the series? Is this series over** already?
-
... and as soon as I have decoded that it is Collins vs Hoskins for a roster spot Collins gets the start tonight ha. I know nothing and relinquish my time to the jury.
-
"yikes" indicates an opinion on the subject! Ashby threw 16 innings in Sept over 12 appearances and gave up 3 total runs. Walked 6. Struck out 19. Lowered his ERA on the season from 2.31 to 2.16 in the process. Objectively he pitched well to very well to finish the season - so the "recent trend" you are referring to must only be his 4 1/3 innings pitched against the Cubs, which admittedly, wasn't his greatest 4 1/3 innings on the year. But I return to "sample size alert"... because it is what it is. Not mad, just providing context. Go Crew.
-
There is definitely an argument for Hoskins over Collins depending on your preference. Perkins is your clear CF right now ... so Collins really has no path to playing time either other than pinch hitting. Adding Hoskins allows you to use Bauers in the outfield in a pinch if you run into injuries/necessity. So in my head the 'pinch hit off the bench' spot right now is between Hoskins and Collins ... and Collins offers you the switch hitting ability that Hoskins doesn't so I agree with his inclusion. I'm not upset folks who prefer Hoskins to be calling for him ... but in my eyes it would be over Collins and not Lockridge. Collins and Hoskins on the roster together would be redundant. Lockridge is here for different reasons.
