    exactly, unless they are completely inept, they would understand the value of the brewers hitters and flippped them for pitching, worse case scenario

    helps explain the heavy price the Brewers paid. Must have been far and away their second choice

    Well just when I talk about wild bill not helping the pitchers settle down..
  4. cragi
    Maybe I’m imagining it but it felt like Contreras used to do a really good job of helping pitchers settle down when they got into jams. Especially knew how to handle younger guys. Haven’t seen it from him this year. Just lets em hang
  5. cragi
    yes, he lined out but I just love the way Lara works an 0-2 count. He got it back to 3-2 and then hits a line drive. cant ask for much better there.

    oops.. HR

    With a single and a double tonight, i'd guess Chourio is the better candidate for the bench
  8. cragi
    that felt like forever since that happened. i had forgotten what it felt like

    I'm saying i dont think they need a very high ceiling pitcher to beat the Dodgers package, if one of the pitcher has some proven MLB success. I think someone could have forked over a decent young arm or two in exchange for Pena/Adamczewski/Payner or whatever it was

    Starting to question that new user FrelickMurphBFF now

    I’m an ardent Sproat fan but also was quick to say we need to go after Skubal hard:. They aren’t mutually exclusive and Speoat has time to develop. I argued from the start that adding a Proven TOR guy helps the entire rotation and Sproat can head to the pen this year. im hoping he figures something out at AAA and regroups to help as a long relief option yet this year. But he’s not ready and he’s out of time as a starter on a playoff roster

    3 hits is an automatic trip to the bench if you’re one of the younger guys. Spread the wealth and get someone else hot.

    and the Tigers demanded Henderson, which is in a different league than what the Dodgers gave up. Im saying a team with a young, controllable arm more proven than Ryan with maybe a lower ceiling could have been part of a 3-team deal and that would open it up.
  14. cragi
    it would be ridiculous to be convinced that the Brewers in trying to contend this year, is going to give up their #3 starter whose stats were on par with Skubal this year and with several years of eligibility remaining, as one piece of a deal. That sounds like a deal Detroit knew they werent ever going to make.
  15. cragi
    The thing that gets me is that you can’t tell me there was no team that didn’t want some of our top prospects that are hitters and willing to depart with a better pitcher than the Dodgers actually gave the Tigers. I’m surprised we cannot find a three-way partner.
  16. cragi
    We already saw how quickly Rengifro turned his bat around elsewhere. starting to really doubt our hitting instruction.
  17. cragi
    gonna be tough to swallow if Leonard is mashing big league pitching while our DH continues to flounder
  18. cragi
    I dont like the package we gave up but there is certainly no doubt this team got signficantly better for the playoffs. Been saying for months now that the Brewers (despite the hitting slump) can effectively sit tight on the hitting but must add a key starting pitcher. Thats why my needs response was consistently "skubal". Pitching starters shortens up in the playoffs and we needed a trusted complement to Miz and Harrision, and someone who can eat some innings. They had bats to reach down into the minors if they needed it but not many bats will move the needle because we likely lose some on fielding.
  19. cragi
    Put Adams in the lineup to shake things up. Worth a shot.
  20. cragi
    alright lets get our heads in the right place. Best record in baseball. Best farm system in baseball. Significantly improved our pitching. Lets see what these new guys can do
  21. cragi
    or its a Brewers tax restricting how many top 100 prospects we have
  22. cragi
    I dont know about the live ball theory for Frias given his heroics and EVs in the DSL. I think we are overloaded with OF prospects and there wasnt much of a market for them, but hard not to think its an overpay compared to other guys that got moved. All I can think is the Brewers were stunned by the Skubal results and there was pressure to make a move. But also that they valued May more than meets the eye.
  23. cragi
    Im not saying Skubal isnt the better pitcher, he is, but he is coming off serious injury and henderson's numbers were on par. Taking out one of our best pitchers as part of a massive package that would likely hamper these next few years in exchanage for someone who "may" move the needle doesnt really make sense. They can likely get a high caliber pitcher without sacrificing short- and long-term pitching.
  24. cragi
    Tigers were demanding pitching and the Dodgers gave them 2 pitchers. The caliber of pitcher they demanded from the Brewers (Henderson) was a non-starter as, before even talking Pena, it would hamper Brewers long-term without a significant, definitive short-term upgrade. Had they said Sproat, Gasser, or Drohan, that might have been a more reasonable ask by the Tigers
  25. cragi
    of the remaining pitching names being thrown around, curious which ones have some recent success vs the Dodgers lineup.. anyone?
