    reasonably dominant. might be the next guy right now after Megill and Uribe.. somewhere around Ashby

    I think its the hype combined with with just the punk actions. It's probably how opposing fans feel about Uribe. Yes, they bring some flair and wear their heart on their sleeves but also draw attention to themselves and its kind of selfish. And are just kind of showy. Like when PCA walks to first looking for a walk when the entire ball is in the strike zone.

    Agree and I know Murph loves Sal, but with his health, he is 4th OF on this team and it’s pretty clear. Lara has to play and get consistent ABs The future is bright. Pratt and Lara were fringey top 5 prospects in the org and have made the jump well. im not sure who the cubs all gave up to acquire pitching at the deadline, but these orgs are likely to head opposite directions with so many top tier prospects still in play for Milwaukee

    No, just worried about Harrison. Miz is learning to reduce velocity when he doesn’t need it and then dial it up in big moments. But last 2 games, he struggled with the mound and then the humidity. Nothing more except maybe some momentum fluctuating

    I doubt it. Murph has been using him sparingly and pulling him early for matchups. Weirdly

    This Miz guy looks familiar

    Murphy saw his ridiculous numbers his third time up and figured he was due to regress. Better to get ahead of it

    same city, different sport: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49806356/nba-announces-punishments-clippers-kawhi-probe Can MLB grow a spine and take the LA cheaters to task?

    seems like a nice lineup that can hopefully put up some runs behind the Miz and shut the door on the Cubs

    at the risk of piling on, this seems like Murph playing favorites. Hamilton brings speed and a LHH but a step down on defense and offense otherwise. But we know Murph has been talking him up for a while. Ortiz was brutal first couple months, which i believed was tied to the expected call-ups of Pratt & Williams, and maybe pressing on offense. He is past that now and one of the hottest hitters in baseball. One small gripe about Murph is that when he "plays the numbers", he doesnt seem to value someone being on a heater or needing a reset. Someone can hit 2 HR and get benched the next day due to matchups. Someone can 0-for-August and get thrown right back in for 30 consecutive starts. And bunty is really a great fit for the bench. His speed on the basepaths makes him a great late inning option.

    another night of waiting til we get overtaken by the cubs

    Disagree. The first double was a golf swing. Second double shouldve been caught. His curve has some nice movement, too much where it clipped a guy's foot. certianly not wild. He needs to learn to work through traffic and maybe could use some more deception on his pitches. Hopefully Hook gets him there.

    Lara has that easy

    i dont get all the hate for May. The pieces they gave up were expensive but nowhere near what we'd have lost for Skubal. The market for pitchers was pricey at the deadline. Why didnt they do it at a different time of year? Brewers have been very proactive in their deals in the offseason and earlier in the season. They went into this season with expectations for contributions from Woody, Priester, and Sproat that didnt materialize. They found themselves in a better than expected situation for the World Series and had to make some move and this was the best option. Skubal deal only changes the outlook for public opinion, because it wouldve cost Henderson, plus, plus. So that was potentially a wash for THIS YEAR. May deal had ZERO downside for THIS YEAR's TEAM. They lost some longterm prospects and hat to cut loose some scrubs. May is a better option for this year's team than Sproat and he can go longer into games and eat some innings.. and he's experienced. That all helps. The team needed another top-4 pitcher and they have that in May. Plus, there have been enough questions with the health and longevity of Harrison and Henderson around the deadline that we couldnt risk riding 3 young guys for 1-2-3 in the playoffs. We dont know yet where May lands in the playoff rotation, but it could be anywhere 2-4.

    Sounds like Lockridge or naylor. Naylor isn’t worth losing a year over. Lockridge adds very little to a stable outfield. Go with Lockridge first then.
  16. cragi
    In fairness, he struggled and had health questions towards the end last year, then came out struggling again this year before putting together a great season.
  17. cragi
    just feel this has been the cubs for a while now and have to wonder about the manager at some point. counsell seems like a high stress individual and the team doesnt play loose. They come out like gangbusters with all the hype at each phase and then come crashing down

    We’ve seen this before in other games for Miz. When rules and dimensions for mounds were conceived, it wasn’t designed for someone with the size and launch of someone like Miz. And opponents aren’t going to be incentivized to make it easier for him. He even goes to opposing mounds before games to check it out. I think it has to be one of those things that MLB needs to get directly involved with, putting one of their biggest young stars at injury risk. Think of the treatment star QBs get against injury or phantom calls for basketball stars. But this one has merit to me.

    i just feel these vets need more mental resets then Murph gives them. How many guys we see come back from a day or two off, ready to hit. Plus gives some of the young guys some needed ABs
  21. cragi
    honestly, when youre that big and lanky and moving that fast, you're just a lot more susceptible to an awkward injury. bigger they are, the harder they fall. and then with how much movement and landing in a different spot/angle than most pitchers creates another challenge. i dont want to see an ankle or knee injury because of some grounds issue. we have too much on the line with this pitcher. And by the way, what an absolute dump of a field for a team whose payroll is ridiculously high.
  22. cragi
    i dont think there is a pitcher who lands as deep from the rubber as Miz either
  23. cragi
    I love this lineup, which means they are gonna get shut out
  24. cragi
    I also think as the minor league depth continues to beef up and with their new approach of controlling guys early during their prime years, these "splash" deals are going to be less appealing, unless the CBA changes the dynamic. In the past when they wanted to attract talent and prove they were serious, a few of those deals made more sense to convince players they could come here and play competitive baseball in a solid org. They dont need that as much, so its a new era of finding value and avoiding the big mistakes.
  25. cragi
    i dont think Brewers were "ecstatic" about the Suppan deal. In fact, I think I started tuning them out for awhile after that one. Just felt like it was chasing mediocrity.
