    Anybody notice Augustine doesn't have those ugly bags under his eyes this year?
  2. RWeeksFan23
    Hell of a catch by Hart.
  3. RWeeksFan23
    Where the hell are these pitches missing to Rolen? That's the third pitch to Rolen in two at-bats that was in the strike zone called a ball.
  4. RWeeksFan23
    There's something ya don't see every day.. K-Rod with a perfect inning.
  5. RWeeksFan23
    He sure did, the stache. Nice inning by Rogers.
  6. RWeeksFan23
    Seems like most of Rogers' pitches have been either right down the middle, or out of the strike zone.
  7. RWeeksFan23
    Sucks Ramirez is out again, that bottom third of the lineup is as brutal as you'll ever see.
  8. RWeeksFan23
    What happened on Easter Sunday one year? I've noticed that one in a lot of people's lists.
  9. RWeeksFan23
    I don't see why we can't be a solid team next year, frankly I don't understand the people not just in this thread but in this forum in general that think we should be building for 2014 and beyond. Our offense is already set for next season, and especially with Gamel coming back, the offense looks to be strong. We do need a top of the rotation starter, but there's a decent amount of 2s and 3s in free agency, no reason we can't sign one of them as well as a quality reliever. (And expect Axford to improve next season)
  10. RWeeksFan23
    Don't forget Ben Sheets, he wasn't on that list and it would be nice to have him back with the way he's pitching this year.
  11. RWeeksFan23
    Kinda weird they DFA'd him, he's having a solid year for them.
  12. RWeeksFan23
    Why do they have to spend it this offseason? They don't have to, but I bet that they will. With all the free agent defections and non tenders, there should be at least 25 million off the books for next season. Trade Hart or Ramirez and you are in the 35-40 million range. Maybe Attanasio would be in for a rebuild and he would consider the drop in attendance to be OK because of the lower payroll, but I doubt it. I fully expect Melvin to be in on the Dempster/Lohse, etc. sweepstakes unless Attanasio tells him to slash payroll. If they do a rebuild, I would greatly prefer a complete one then a partial, that's for sure, and in that case we are looking to be at least three years out.... to me, that means move everyone except for Braun. As we stand right now, there is only one contract that is looking bad down the road. If that means keeping Weeks too, I'm OK with that, because I think he bounces back. What would be wrong with going after Dempster/Lohse?
  13. RWeeksFan23
    Zimmermann seems to be a good matchup for Weeks since Zimmermann throws mostly fastballs, and fastballs are all Weeks knows how to hit.
  14. RWeeksFan23
    What's the point in trading Kottaras and signing Quintero? Why not just keep Kottaras and send him to AAA? Although I think Ishikawa should've been the one DFA'd in the first place, but that's beside the point.
  15. RWeeksFan23
    I completely agree with this. Fiers may not be the 'sexiest' pitcher since he doesn't throw very hard, but at the end of the day, he gets the job done and then some, every single start just about. I see no reason for him to start slowing down any time soon either. Kid's a stud.
  16. RWeeksFan23
    I'm encouraged by what I've seen from Gomez this year, he's always had decent power potential for his position and he's finally showing it lately. Really nice role player to have on this team.
  17. RWeeksFan23
    I know he didn't leave here on the best of terms, but I wonder if he'd consider signing here again after the season, if he keeps pitching like this, I'd kill to have him back.
  18. RWeeksFan23
    I guess i'm in the minority, but no way do I non-tender Parra. He hasn't been THAT bad this season, and it seems like usually when he has gotten in trouble, it's because he gave the hitter a first-pitch fastball right down the middle, if he cuts down on that type of thing, he'll be alright. Parra's the kind of guy that if we get rid of, he'll turn out to be a stud somewhere else. Lefties with that kind of stuff don't grow on trees.
  19. RWeeksFan23
    I have a bad feeling if we trade with the Angels, Ervin Santana will be one of the pieces involved.
  20. RWeeksFan23
    Jay Bruce has gotta be the biggest 'Brewer killer' in MLB right now.. he's a good hitter, but is just an extra base-hit machine against us, doesn't matter how hot or cold he is coming into the series..
  21. RWeeksFan23
    Arroyo sure looks like Greg Maddux in his prime every time out against us.
  22. RWeeksFan23
    Bringing back Villanueva wouldn't be a half-bad idea.
  23. RWeeksFan23
    What Adam said. I'm assuming Greinke and Marcum are both gone and assuming both will be replaced with in-house options. Even if they went with a signing, I think it'd be closer to a Looper-type 4-5 than a top-of-the-rotation guy. There aren't really any answers with the bullpen or SS either. I don't see why they wouldn't be able to go out and get a Dempster/Lohse type SP. Which if they do that, and upgrade the bullpen which shouldn't be too difficult considering how it can't get any worse, Idk if we'd be a playoff team necessarily, but we could be a 85ish win team.
  24. RWeeksFan23
    yup, my question as well. I don't think we should let the question about what to do next year stop us from acquiring a great SS prospect via trade. Worry about that when we get there. If Gonzalez heals quickly and everything checks out, he could be had for cheap and would likely outperform any of our current options. Bianchi could be an option depending on what happens this year. They could sign someone else for cheap. Honestly, they probably won't be competing next year either (unless they resign one/both of Greinke/Marcum, depending on if they trade for someone, if they sign someone big, etc.). So I don't think any lack of a great SS will really hurt them. I'd rather they get the BPA (or rather highest talent ceiling available) via trade and if that happens to be a SS who's a couple of years away, then so be it. Just curious as to why you and some other people I've read say the same thing, think the Brewers won't be that good the next year or two.. I don't see why that would be the case. Even assuming Greinke and Marcum walk, we can easily go after a guy like Ryan Dempster, who would probably show interest in coming here given he's pitched in Chicago all those years. Our offense projects to be better next season, with Gamel and Gonzalez coming back, and a rotation of Gallardo-Dempster-Fiers-Estrada-Peralta doesn't look that bad. And as bad as the bullpen was this season, chances are it will improve next year as I think Axford is better than he's shown this year, and with as much money coming off the books as there is, we could possibly also afford to go after a Mike Adams or Grant Balfour too.
  25. RWeeksFan23
    I actually kinda like reading your posts about your dislike for Roenicke cuz I can't stand the guy, it's nice to see other people feel the same way now after most people gushed about how good of a manager he was last season, when it was apparent even then he was awful.
