Brewers should turn to this top prospect to fortify infield | Brew Crew Ball @Dave Gasper, you could at least give me some credit! I need to go back and see how many times I've started a thread like this here only to see it used as an article in BCB later...
-
I think both Gute and MLF are in the top third of the league for their roles. There are mistakes both have made, but I don't think people realize how hard their jobs are (especially in the heat of a game) or that there aren't too many people that would really be an upgrade. Between Love and MLF, I vacillate on who is the one holding the other back... Early in his career, it was clearly Love making poor on the field decisions yet people attributed it to MLF. Love has improved, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve part of the blame. But for the love of Lambeau... MLF give up the challenge flag to someone else!

Sorry, but this is just a bad hot take. The first half of the year (with Watson and Reed out), Golden had many, many routes run. Somewhere I read a metric showing how open WRs were on routes and compared it to Doubs. Doubs was far more covered, but Love still went to him far more often. Then Golden got hurt... when he was healthy, Reed and Watson were back and his routes decreased. It was pretty obvious that Golden and Williams were both drafted with 2026 (post Doubs and Wicks). Not that they weren't meant to contribute in 2025, but it was a pretty clear indication Doubs was not coming back in FA.

We finished season 1 a week ago or so and it finished pretty well. The last couple of episodes were a bit predictable and probably did more to setup the next season than wrap up the first, but still enjoyable.
-
It drives me nuts that there is a writer for Brew Hoop that is British...writing for a US audience. The word is "defense" and not "defence"!
-
Upgrading either one would be an improvement....just by the definition of the word. Can we upgrade Love, Kraft, and Parsons too? 😏 I take it that you are trying to ask... which is holding us back more - personnel or development & play calling. I tend to think that Love and our offense would be better off if we were more aggressive and didn't run quite so much. So I'd say MLF.
-
Now Turang is injured? We are starting to run out of excuses...
-
You might be confused... this is a thread about Luke Adams. I'm not sure why or with whom you attempting to convince about the prowess of Cooper Pratt's defense... No one is debating it... or even talking about it... or him.
-
Where did I say that???
-
Adams is one of those prospects who isn't a can't-miss guy, so I'd hope we'd be willing to waste a year of control for the upside he might bring to the club this year... when we have WS hopes.
-
I think it is time and just about everything aligns for it to happen... Needed - a third baseman that can hit above average OPS while providing solid/excellent defense. No, Ji Hwan Bae doesn't match that description. I get that this might've been a convenient temporary move... and maybe one that hints at how minor of an injury Cooper might've had than anything. But why not call up Luke Adams now? In a couple of years, we are going to be looking at our LH/RH 1B combo and have a bit of deja vu... no, Jake Bauers and Andrew Vaughn didn't suddenly grow 4 inches... its Luke Adams and Blake Burke. Adams has done nothing but hit (and maybe get injured) at AA and AAA. 860 OPS at AA in 2025 (when Cooper Pratt's 691 was just above league average) and currently mashing 906 at AAA this year. Adams is only playing half of his innings at 3B, so there are some defensive concerns there... but we are also playing Vaughn at third, so Adam's has to be a step up there. Adams will need to go on the 40-man at the end of the season anyway, so it isn't like we are starting his clock much earlier anyway. I know it is unlikely since we will soon have Cooper/Hamilton/Ortiz covering the left side and Bauers/Vaughn at 1B and Yelich at DH. But honestly, wouldn't a lineup of Adams/Cooper/Turang/Bauers/Vaughn(DH) look much better in the box? If Cooper's injury keeps him out until September, then Adams makes a much better option on the team than Bae.

2026 Offseason and Beyond Trade/Free Agent Ideas
CheezWizHed replied to jay87shot's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don't know how much value Ashby has in a trade given his cost is more in line with an SP then RP. And he isn't consistent enough to be relied upon as a closer. I'd keep Contreras. I was on the trade Megill bandwagon last year as he looked like he was regressing. He proved me wrong so far, but that doesn't mean you don't ship him out for the right package. -
Former Brewers bats vs current lineup
CheezWizHed replied to cragi's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
In the time that Rengifo has been with SD, Joey Ortiz has an OPS+ of 146... -
I'm disappointed that the Family Night has basically become watching practice but in Lambeau. The thing that made it special was that it was more of a scrimmage than just drills. Honestly, it wouldn't' be terribly hard to organize your drills in a manner that looks much more like a scrimmage. You already have the game scenarios... just organize teams and have more of a point system for the team that "wins" the drill.

I've had that vibe from Sproat also... but I also get Ashby vibes; relegated to the BP and can be great or terrible while never being terribly consistent because they can't always control their stuff.

If we win a WS this year and May beats Skubal along the way, I think @Ron Robinsons Beard should rename himself to "Dustin Mays Hair". 😂
-
So what are the chances of Skubal and May going head-to-head in the playoffs? A little Dodger payback for giving up on May??

Every year we grouse about the "valuable" prospects we trade away, lose via rule 5 draft, or DFA... yet most of the time, those players end up being fringe MLB players at best. I'd love to see a summary of players lost by Arnold that actually made MLB rosters and their WAR. There have been a few (Olson, Fry) that end up giving positive MLB impact to their next team, but so many of our prospects rated 10+ get a cup of coffee at the MLB level or never make it at all. I remember people complaining about giving away David Hamilton to get out of JBJ's contract...now here we have him back and trying to replace him (as a starter, he is ok as a utility guy). Maybe one of Ragsdale or Frias becomes a good/great MLB player, but the odds are against it.
-
Agreed. Pena is a couple of years away from being "blocked" at the MLB level. Him playing AA next year doesn't diminish his value at all. If anything, being healthy for a full year helps him. Crow will remain a SP backup for a couple of years and then follow Patrick to the pen. Cheap SP depth is very valuable. Adams just needs to prove he can play a full season before he can have full value.

Hopefully not, given that is a cry for help...

PCA the ball player, Jackson the person. Also this (jumping after Chourio's HR ball ironically):

My wife and I are enjoying the Young Sherlock Holmes series on Prime. We haven't gotten through season 1 yet, but it is hard to not binge watch the whole thing. First half of the season was pretty fast-pace and now in the second half it slowed and became a bit more cerebral. The feel of the show is like a cross between the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock movies and Knives Out. It is basically how a college aged Sherlock becomes the super sleuth version of himself. The series has his brother Mycroft and eventual enemy (current best friend) Moriarity teamed up with Sherlock in trying to solve several mysteries wrapped together.

@Jake McKibbin, now do Yelich. His swing looks completely lost this year. Though I doubt it is his swing and more about pitch recognition (i.e. flailing at pitches and looking like he is guessing).
