Well if you would stop yelling things at him maybe he wouldn't hit HR's......... -
24 K's by Brewers starting pitching in the last two games. That is impressive even in today's game where K's are more prevalent.

Apparently Burnes is so good he strands Brewers runners also!!!

With Elon’s purchase being official now for Twitter, I wonder what the impact is going to be on the tech market. There are some rumors about Twitters earnings will be down a lot so the board took the deal. The price may drop a bit between now and when their earnings are reported if the rumors are true.

Hah living in Arizona it is the opposite. During the NFL season I am trying to get outside of the house as that is when the weather is more cooperative meaning it is not 100+ outside starting at 8am.

The Segura and Narvaez strike out calls were both unhittable pitches that the batter had no chance at even fouling off. The Schwarber one he could possibly foul off but the Segura and Narvaez ones were near impossible to even get any part of the bat on the ball. Unfortunately the umpires union will not call out Angel Hernandez on this and MLB is basically powerless on doing anything about it also. Hernandez will continue to be bad and will continue to umpire baseball games. There is zero accountability and the union doesn't really care as long as the robo umps and other things don't come. The umpires in MLB are just for the most part incompetent. They can't explain calls other than saying runner is out ok we see that but why was the runner out? The NBA and NFL have both perfected the reviews and explanations of what happened why cant MLB umpires do the same? It can't be a pride thing as the majority of the calls are upheld just explain why the ruling was upheld or overturned it is not that difficult.

Sinus infection?

Hard to say as Sheets only really had one year where the Brewers were relevant. Woodruff and Burnes are better than Gallardo. Woodruff and Burnes are in the top 5 of Brewers pitchers all time already. This is the best rotation that the Brewers have ever had historically. I would rank this rotation at #1. MLB history wise probably in the top 50 somewhere.

Have a game Lauer 13 k's!

Before 2021 Riley was only a .240/.300/.450 hitter in the Majors. If that qualifies as an impact bat then so did Urias, Garcia, Adames and Narvaez. There were 4 players that by your definition would be big bats. You may want to look at the stats before making these claims and not just looking at the names of the players. Albies even in 2021 was only a .259/.310/.488 hitter which would put him in the same category as Adames and Narvaez. Your arguments have no points because I think you are just pulling things from thin air and not looking at anything to back up what you are saying. The only player historically that was good that you named was Freeman. Castellanos career wise is .279/.330/.487 which would put him as the 2nd best bat for the Brewers but Adames and Narvaez are also close to Castellanos career wise with .260/.330/.439 and .266/.351/.398. Adames and Narvaez are really close to Castellanos. Again Castellanos is not in the MVP category for a hitter. He is a good hitter but he is not in the category of MVP type of a player who is going to carry a team for weeks at a time.

The Bulls are just not a good team and do not have an answer to the Bucks offense if the Bucks are not playing sloppy. The Bucks just play average on offense and the Bulls just can't keep up. The Bulls don't really have anyone that the Bucks have to be concerned about hitting a 3 consistently and thus can relax off them and play the defense they want which is to limit the drives to the basket. The Bulls just play into all of the strengths of the Bucks offensively and defensively. The Bulls barely won game two and were barely in it during game 1 when the Bucks played awful. Let that sink in when the Bucks played awful the Bulls were keeping up. If the Bucks play below average to average of what they normally do and the Bulls have no chance at all. Games 3 and 4 proved the Bulls can't compete if the Bucks play at an average level that they normally play at. The Bucks have to be playing awful for the Bulls to even have a chance.

I am surprised when Angel Hernandez gets 70% of the strikes and balls called correctly.

None of the players the Braves acquired would be defined as lineup changers either they were just guys. Basically the Braves traded for a bunch of platoon players who had a hot streak in the playoffs. Soler and Pederson are not really impact bats as their career says otherwise on that statement. Both Pederson and Soler are career .240/.330/.460 hitters that doesn't really scream impact bat. Career wise Renfroe is close to both Soler and Pederson and there has been a poster on here who says that player needed to be DFA'd because reasons. Renfroe's career slash line .237/.297/.489. While his OBP is lower his average is close to what Pederson and Soler have provided and his slg is higher than what either have done. The trade market this year is basically a bunch of Soler's and Pederson's. Not much of an improvement over what the Brewers already have in Renfroe and McCutchen. I don't see Castellanos improving the lineup all that much either. If you think Castellanos would improve this lineup you would have to believe Cain, Yelich, and Tellez would all improve from 2021 significantly. Castellanos isn't really an impact bat that is going to carry you like a 2019 or 2018 Yelich for stretches. He never carried the Reds for the years that he was there and he didn't really carry the Cubs when they acquired him either. Castellanos is a good hitter but not someone I would put as an MVP caliber player who will carry a whole team for a few weeks. I also believe the Phillies are going to be regretting that contract in a year or two.

The Bucks absolutely dominated the Bulls today other than for about 5-minutes where the Bulls went on a little run to get the game within 8 points. The Bucks then dominated after that.

There were two trades for JBJ that the Brewers had available to them. The one they accepted and the other being with the Padres. The Padres trade would have been Meyers for JBJ. The Brewers were going to get a bad contract back no matter who they traded with. There were zero known trades where the Brewers could have dumped JBJ and not have taken on some salary.

This is not a fact this is your opinion.
-
Well they did spend all that money on Moustakas, Votto and Castellanos at one point. They had the offense to win a world series and they spent the money to do so but didn't even make it anywhere close to a world series appearance let alone winning it. Sometimes spending money is just spending money.
-
That really isn't it. It is the amount of pitchers who pitch as hard as they do now. Normally it was 2 or 3 guys on the whole staff who throw as hard as the pitchers do now. Now you have about 7-10 of them.

A bat flip is like spiking the football after scoring a touchdown? How is that taunting???

Still really early in the season but the trade market this season looks bleak at best right now offensively. I don't really see a big time bat to make a trade for on the market. At best looking over who could become available looks like a bunch of Renfroe's. Right now the best bat out there is probably Gallo and the Yankees are asking for a lot for him. Probably the most interesting name that could be out there would be Judge or Bogaerts if the Yankees and Red Sox are not in the playoff hunt. But that is highly unlikely. Names to watch as the season goes on: OF Benintendi (Royals) INF Mancini (Orioles) INF Odor (Orioles) OF Gallo (Yankees) OF Conforto (FA) INF Candelario (Tigers) OF Kepler (Twins) The trade market looks awful this year and there just isn't much available or anything that impactful. The biggest impact bat that could become available is Gallo and maybe Candelario but I think the Tigers will want more than what Candelario is worth meaning you will have to overpay for the production you are going to get. I think Urias maybe the only impactful acquisition the Brewers get this year. The only other interesting notice the bold there would be Senzel from the Reds. This would be a lets see if a change of scenery helps here and the Reds would have to be basically giving up on ever seeing Senzel being a productive MLB hitter. Maybe a Hiura+ for Senzel deal? I am not sure the Reds would do this.

Not sure there will be an impact bat on the trade market. Right now the best you could do is Conforto or Gallo. I don’t see anyone signing Conforto until after the draft. No one is giving up a draft pick for Conforto especially with the season Conforto had last year. Yelich and Conforto had similar seasons last year. Conforto probably projects as .250/.350/.470 type of a player. Which is basically Renfroe.

Fri. 4/22 - Can Shuckers Snap Losing Skid?
nate82 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
We have a Wes Helms sighting!!!! Of course something weird happens with Wes Helms. LOL! -
I haven’t looked it up but it feels like Peralta’s change up is just getting smashed so far this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has an above .900 OPS for that pitch.
-
Yikes!!! Jrue will need to step it up on offense to make up for losing Middleton.
