Next First Round Pick To Have an Impact?
pacopete4 replied to Jopal78's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If Corey Ray is so terrible, what are you expecting in a return? -
Imagine if we overreacted and sent Chacin to the pen after his rough April last year. You just can't make these decisions based on a couple of outings.

I said offseason. So I really don’t know what you’re talking about. This doesn't indicate the offseason. -

Imagine a GM rushing to trade someone in a situation that you described. Just imagine if it worked that way. Ay yay yay. -
I’m glad I fell asleep. Saved me some frustration after my HS team’s “bullpen” blew a game of their own. Ahh, the swings of highs and lows of a season.
-
If he truly would accept a 1-year deal, I feel it would be done already. Maybe not with us but with someone.

You are spot on. Our recency bias tends to gloss over the fast that we went though stretches of guys like Mike Zagurski, JJ Hoover, Jordan Lyles and Oliver Drake getting leverage innings last year before they got things figured out. Perfection guys. It is hard to recall all of that when thinking about our roster construction. Hopefully Stearns has some diamonds in the rough this season as well.

Bullpens are volatile. You just described the Brewers April-August 2018 bullpen in a nutshell. This bullpen didn't jell last year until Knebel came back from his demotion, and Woodruff and Burnes were inserted. Spot on post Joey. I think we forget just how rocky our pen was during a lot of the season a year ago. They fought through it as a good ball team does. It is really hard to get a pen that just shuts down everyone for 162 games in a year. While the Brewers might not be as good as their 8-2 record in their first ten games, their bullpen probably isn't as bad as a lot of posters are making them out to being either.
-
This is where we disagree. No one is debating that having another high-leverage arm wouldn't be a good thing. The team could use it of course. But Joey says it perfectly. These trades don't happen for a reason. This team is built to win this season but I also don't want to see them sacrifice the future competing seasons. They are in a great spot. Lots of one-year deals that expire allowing them to build right back up around their foundation next season as well. It's a great time to be a Brewers fan with a smart GM like we have now.
-
And this is fine that this is a need. It is a need with a lot of ball clubs. It is also something that doesn't happen very often if ever that a team trades in April. Now, signing Kimbrel might be different if he was willing to move off his lengthy demand but that is not what this thread was about.
-
Hey, sorry to hear this. Hang in there.

2019 NFL Free Agency/A Busy Day for Green Bay
pacopete4 replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Other Sports
Rodgers had a solid response to the ordeal on Wilde and Tausch. Worth looking up. -
Context is everything. I'll just say that about your rants. Both of those that you quoted at me was to a guy that would give up just about anything for a Giants reliever right now. It does make NO SENSE. But hmm... doesn't sound like we'd be giving up multiple players for Kimbrel. Might be why Stearns is actually intrigued by the idea? Maybe use a better example next time you want to stand on your podium and attack because you're upset at our bullpen. Maybe the better option is to let it continue to play out, let guys establish roles, get JJ back, see if any of your AAA guys can fill holes, fill with guys off the scrap heap like we've done before, and then when those options are exhausted, then you go out and see what the trade market is for guys that are on clubs willing to part ways. By that time, you're more than likely to find teams willing to part ways with players on better terms than what would occur now. Trading, which this thread is about, doesn't happen very often in April and for good reasons. Next time you want to overreact, aim it at someone else please and thank you.

I don’t know if I’ll make it another three innings. Blah.
-
Three series into the season and three series wins. Two over our division foes. [sarcasm]Amazing what this bunch of rag tag players are accomplishing.[/sarcasm]
-
I’d like to see Anderson pitch the 9th.

Cain Yelich Goldy Braun Shaw Moustakas Grandal Arcia Oh man would that have been fun. Wish they would’ve listened to me.

I would definitely contact WTMJ radio and ask them for a copy of it.

If only BA told the whole story.

My dogs name is Uecker. It’s been a great name. Soon to be five year old English Springer Spaniel.
-
Turning this one off tonight. First time all season. Not because I’m mad at them either. This was just due. Hope I check in later and see I missed a helluva comeback.
-
I think it’s wise to stop trying to predict the future of any of the three based on a start here or there. Next week you’ll probably have to just insert Woody in this paragraph because he has a clunker. They’re young, inexperienced, but very talented. They’ll be given the time to figure things out to see if they can succeed in these roles.
-
Chase Burnes at it again tonight.
-
Yeah, can't jump into a guy's legs while he's in the air. 100% a foul. Agreed. Very dumb play by the Auburn kid.
