A slight improvement at 1B does next to nothing to make this team better. -
I'm aware of that which is why I make such an effort to recycle paper as much as I can.
-
I'm far from a green freak, enviro-nut but it really bothers me when people can't even do the simplest parts of recycling. The first thing I do everyday when I get to work is take all the pieces of paper out of the garbage can and put them in the recycling bin which is less than an inch away from the garbage. I'm talking large amounts of whole sheets of paper not just little scraps or postit note type things. My work had an event last weekend and on Monday I had to cleanup stuff from that which meant I broke down about 10 very large boxes most of them full of paper packing material. After I collected it all my boss helped me take it behind the building where I assumed we had a dumpster for recycling. Nope, he chucked it all in the trash and I died a little bit inside.

Cohen all but came out and said he’s hiring Stearns
jerichoholicninja replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Stearns in New York could be a hilarious disaster. He did a great job of building this organization to respectability but when he spent money it was generally a massive failure. Cohen will give him a credit card and tell him to fix it now, which is definitely not David's strength. -
99% of this is just having crappy hitters - nothing about approach or coaching. As soon as the front office makes having even a few semi-competent hitters a priority numbers will look better.

Pirates city connect uniforms
jerichoholicninja replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not sure when airport codes became nicknames for cities but unless it's something kind of cool like PDX it's just stupid. Put something else across the front of these jerseys and they aren't bad. -
Until the organizational philosophy of focusing on defensive versatility and filling in with cheap, flawed, one dimensional sluggers changes there really isn't much you can do.
-
TLDR Don't use Nolan Ryan as an example for anything with today's game. They are in no way comparable.

Did Arnold make a mistake not trading the Big 3 away?
jerichoholicninja replied to MVP2110's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Other than the AL central, right now the Brewers would be in fourth place in every other division and dead last in the AL East. They've got a darn good shot at making the playoffs but this team is overall bad. I have no idea what should have been done in the offseason and even less what should be done before the deadline. -
Artificial Turf at AmFam Field 🤮
jerichoholicninja replied to edfunderburk's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Considering NFL players want to ban turf due to all the injuries it causes I can't believe this would even be an option. -
Until they can put an un-embarrassing offense together the manger won't matter.
-
The idea of "if we only we could or were willing to spend X-amount more dollars" just doesn't matter to me. Good players come at all price points. Arnold and Stearns have both pretty much focused on the all or nothing sluggers and the no bat, utility players and the results have continually been the same. When the sluggers are hot they can make up for the wet noddle bats. When they're not, every great 7IP/3R pitching performance goes to waste.
-
$5M buys you nothing. That'll get you maybe an above average reliever or a utility bench bat. The offense is trash and has been trash for years. The front office needs to totally overhaul how it evaluates hitters and probably totally overhaul the entire hitter group. The team is in the bottom third of the league in K%, runs per game, AVG, OBP, and SLUG. About the only thing they appear to do well statically is draw walks but when you suck in every other offensive part of the game that doesn't help all that much. The whole pitching and defense thing can only get you so far. At some point you have to actually put runs on your side of the scoreboard.
-
These are some the young players the Cubs traded to win a world series/stay/be competitive: Paul Blackburn, Daniel Vogelbach, Gleyber Torres, Dylan Cease, Eloy Jimenez, Jeinmer Candelario, Isaac Paredes Maybe not "emptying the farm" but that's a lot of pre-arb major league talent that could have helped the team.
-
A smart front office trumps a bottomless bank account. Say what you will about the Dodgers but it's their farm system and scouting that has them flush with talent not their checkbook.
-
Leverage for what? Oakland isn't going to do anything to keep them.
-
Norris was horrible for us. It was a stinker trade even if we got him for free.
-
The theorem assumes a manager treats every inning of every game the same way. When Craig pulls his starter he basically decides whether they are going to win or not. If they're losing he goes to the bullpen trash which can often lead to the score getting out of hand. If they're winning he'll go to the "good" guys who hopefully don't. There's no bringing in a top arm when you're losing to try to keep the game close. Which is probably the best decision since this offense is so historically bad that they aren't coming back against most pitchers.
-
Looking at his career he's been nothing special outside of the covid season and has been trending downward since. I don't think an attitude adjustment is going to make him much better than what we already have.
-
Like Tampa Bay, if Cleveland is getting rid of a pitcher I would probably stay clear. They generally know what they're doing on that front.
-
I for one thought that Abreu's deal was very reasonable and disappointed we couldn't top it. Good non-move so far for Arnold. Although his actual acquisitions leave a lot to be desired.
-
Sure enough he was. That's the first time I've seen that angle of it. Every other replay I've seen showed him sitting in the dugout so I assumed that's where it happened. That seems pretty easy to remedy by just screening off the area directly perpendicular to the hitter.
-
Adames was sitting down in the dugout. Not at the rail. Didn't a Brewers coach get nailed in the dugout last year or a couple years ago too? It's the people in the "safe area" that are getting hurt. Most likely because they let their guard down because they think they're safe. I can't remember once instance of a player sitting by the rail getting hit.
-
What I don't understand in all of this is doesn't Bally's or whoever employ all the people and own all the resources and equipment to broadcast the games? Does MLB just take possession of these things so the games stay on? And if so does MLB actually have people who know how to do this stuff? Considering this stuff came down like two weeks before the regular season started and is still going on mid-season it seems amazing to me that there has been no interruptions to the broadcasts.
-
He's given up 6 runs and 11 hits in 5.2 innings since the Dodgers dumped him. Small sample but still not good.
