    very true. hoping the week off helps him reset. I meant that Garcia has been a good hitter that hits some homers. Urias is a solid hitter who hits less homers. Escobar is a mediocre hitter that has some power. Strangely he's performed better with us than he did with AZ, and he hasn't seemed that great with us. I still miss Moose at 3b. I don't think of Garcia, Adames, Escobar, Tellez, Vogey, or Urias as major power threats. They CAN hit a homer. The team can occasionally hit 2 in a game. But the Dodgers have a lineup capable of hitting 5 in a game on any given day. Same with the Cardinals. The Brewers don't.
  2. DHonks
    this is a good thing. The last two nights the Dodgers have hit something like 7 or 8 homers. The Brewers don't really have a power threat. Nice to have him back.

    Is anyone else a little concerned with Peralta? Since his DL stint his velocity has been down (consistently 91). I'd consider him the 3rd or 4th starter at this point for the postseason. Also, I'm baffled by the MrTplush and Bulldogboy exchange at the top of this page. It seems they're not counting the days correctly. Why would a short start from Woodruff (hypothetical) possibly prevent him from starting on 6 days rest next week Saturday? Reality is that we'll likely have Woody or Burnes going in game 1 and 2. Doesn't really matter which order, as they've both been great all year. Now if we advance and if we play the Cards in NLCS, we absolutely must pitch Houser in game 1, if not in every game! Something about the sinkers from Houser and Anderson really makes it hard for the Cards to hit.

    They look like slightly updated versions of the logos they've used for 20+ years. Still have my old Desert Dogs hat

    You forgot one of the key cogs to our team’s 2h success, Jace Peterson.
  6. DHonks
    Well, I hate to bump this thread….but YUCK
  7. DHonks
    Not so sure about Peralta. Today his velocity was down about 6 mph. Hopefully he’s OK and has a good performance in his last start but that’s a little troubling to see right before the playoffs One benefit to Peralta as we know that he has been really effective out of the bullpen in the past.

    ESPN’s predictor has Hader currently in 3rd place
  9. DHonks
    Freddy’s velocity way down in the 1st
  10. DHonks
    I’d like Burnes, Woodruff, or Hader Since I took all of them in March in Vegas. I think the best case scenario is Hader because it produces a huge payout

    Attanasio isn't wrong, but I think the "he's under contract" line is weak. Stearns will either stay or go depending on factors important to him. Does he like it here? Does his wife like it here? Would he kick himself later if he never seized the opportunity to lead the Mets? How hamstrung does he feel living with a small market budget? How is Mark A as a boss? How much money would Cohen pay? Being "under contract" doesn't much matter if someone is miserable where they are at. Stearns doesn't seem miserable, but he's in demand, and he'd be crazy to not consider what else is out there. Bingo. My contact VERY close with David says he thoroughly enjoys Milwaukee, the autonomy he’s been given, and his strong working relationship with both those above and below him.

    Mitchell and Ray are obvious options. Turang or Howell or another IF might be nice. Maybe Bello due to injury
  13. DHonks
    Not sure why he would already be with the team….we have a player with the same profile as Ray in JBJ.
  14. DHonks
    Should DL Garcia now to get him rested for postseason, bring Taylor back
  15. DHonks
    I think we could see Corey Ray get some time in the mix. . What has he done to show he deserved to occupy a 40-man roster spot? He's about to get passed up by about 6 other OF prospects, having already been passed by Tyrone Taylor.
  16. DHonks
    Maile has been fine. He does a nice job. I'd offer Manny Pina something like $1.5 million per year for 3-4 years. He's one of the very best defensive catchers in MLB, understands his role, and has some occasional pop.
  17. DHonks
    What, Low with only a hit? He’s been a multi hit machine like the Hurricane
  18. DHonks
    Fun statistical quirk for Small….in AAA his ERA is lower than his WHIP
  19. DHonks
    Small with a fantastic year except for the sprained finger ligament. He's really put himself in position for a AAA/MLB role next year.
  20. DHonks
    Called out, and no conclusive angle. There’s no logical reason that should have been overturned, except that it was against the Brewers and the replay studio hates us
  21. DHonks
    I feel like I’m grading class assignments even when I’m reading brewerfan.net
  22. DHonks
    I think they'll go with Vogelbach. The other spot will also be a rotating place, much like Stearns has always treated the 25/26th spot. Reyes will go down when Escobar is ready. Taylor will be back at some point. Good chance that Ashby goes down when Peralta is back. I'd expect to see Gustave, Topa, and Ashb, among others potentially at times.
  23. DHonks
    Garcia seems like a classic Latin American late breakout type player. Carlos Gomez, Jose Bautista, Jose Guillen, and many others.
  24. DHonks
    Actually, you can read his lips and he asked the Homeplate umpire if that was a strike that he swung at (while tossing his bat). The umpire can be seen saying “you showed me up, you showed me up”
  25. DHonks
    I'm still a little baffled by the JBJ player option. If he opts out, he gets $6.5million? So wouldn't he want to opt out, collect the money, and go somewhere else where hopefully he can land a $5-7 million deal and come out ahead?
