    Enjoyed it. It’s not something I dissect too much because well it’s Michael Myers crushing people.

    Don’t see piggy backing happening as a long term solution. Handcuffs your pen too much over 162 games.

    Any time you need to outlet like reading to calm yourself, I consider that a baseball mental health issue. Either way, your post was rude and we can agree to disagree because I really have no need to further post back to you. No, I think it's a lot more rude to take such a ridiculous leap from needing to read to get your head right while playing the most mentally trying sport to him having some sort of mental health issue. Rude? Come on man. He's a hot head on the field when things aren't going right for him and when he's interviewed about this topic, this is what he shared. It is okay for us to infer things about players. And a "baseball mental health issue" is a lot different than me saying that he has mental health issues. Sorry that offends you but this is getting a bit ridiculous with some of these posts.

    If you check my poster history on just about any deal, I've been against shipping any of these guys off. I think I've written stay the course on about 50 posts. My original post was intended that if the Dbacks were selling off everything, that they might take younger prospects they feel have a high ceiling. To be honest, I'm not even sure I see the Dbacks selling off at this point so all of this probably is pretty pointless. I just feel we need a major boost to the offense and Goldschmidt would be that game changer at the expense of Aguilar. But again, it is probably not too realistic.

    Why .800? He was .890 this year and .837 last year. It's not like he's at a declining age or anything. Yes it's probably unlikely for him to go back to his first half form. But I think he's more than likely a pretty good hitter who wore down in 2018 with daily playing time. If Yelich was a free agent after 2019 and we wanted to take a shot, I'd say go for it. But I think we have to look at this from a big picture perspective. Is Goldschmidt an upgrade for this year, certainly. But for what he'd cost in trade capital and then payroll cost if we kept him, no I don't think its worth it. I seriously doubt he would go for a 5/110 type extension anyway and then we'd be back to square one. Even if he did, I have some major concerns about a 5 year extension for a then 32 year old first baseman. I think if we could land Wilson Ramos and Jed Lowrie we'd be in pretty good shape with what we can upgrade offensively, and we'd get to keep our trade pieces. I tend to believe that much of his stat line this season was a fluke. In over 4,000 minor league at bats his stat line was .271/.348/.454/.802. In the end, arguing about it doesn't do much because you're a believer and I'm not. I feel as though we will have pages full of IGT next season questioning what Stearns was doing by not being proactive with Aguilar and trying to move him or upgrade that position.

    Chandler Jones would be fun.
  7. pacopete4
    Yeah, I thought he might want to try for 3/25 or more, but maybe guys like him are changing mindsets. This gives him 20 mil guaranteed through his age 33 season. Bad news is he's off the board. Good news is this might mean FAs will be more affordable for us. And since his contract is nice, he’s still tradable.

    Doesn’t scream to me that Arizona is selling.

    When Michael Jackson does it, no one has a issue. Now we are getting all over Machado?

    I thought the first episode of the school shootings was good. Not for the shootings but how it has been completely ignored with no real societal changes. But yes, Tegrity Farms was great. A second fight montage of Randy rocky-style was great!
  11. pacopete4
    I assume Aguilar won't return to his first half form because to me it is not realistic. He's an .800 OPS guy for me. It's not that he is a terrible player (although I cannot stand his lack of hustle) it just makes more sense. Braun might be upgradable but with roster construction, it probably isn't going to happen, so the focus could be put on Aguilar.
  12. pacopete4
    Yet he's boldly proclaimed to be a 4-pitch pitcher when he's barely thrown 3. Because stats are deceiving. Relieving and starting are a totally different approach. It's the same as guy barking about Hader. Yes, he would be fastball dominant but he definitely would mix in his other pitches more often.
  13. pacopete4
    Braun in the 3rd spot was the right move. We needed him to channel his inner MVP during the playoffs but he was just good. Couple that with almost everyone around him not doing their part and you get the offense we got in the playoffs. Going forward, if we can get Braun down to the 5-hole, it will be because Stearns is doing his magic again and providing this lineup with game changing batters. It is either that or the Brewers need to get Braun to buy in shortening the bat and his approach to the ball and becoming a different hitter than he has ever been. He could do it, but it is doubtful well, because, ego. Either way, as the original poster, it is clear to us all we could use a Goldschmidt type batter (who doesnt?) in this lineup if we want to get real serious about this thing.

    We are going to need more producttion out of 1B and I believe it will be a huge mistake if they feel as though they owe Aguilar the job and do not try to upgrade it. Maybe nothing comes open but they should be at least trying.

    Let’s just make it WWE style. The NFL is already there. Might as well ruin another sport.

    For Crew, Game 7 not an end but a beginning Now I’m all fired up for next season! Pitchers and catchers report yet? I think we will win 100.
  18. pacopete4
    ummmmmm, why? Because he’s s generational pitcher and in a terrible moment (possibly) for the brewers, it’s nice to see him get his moment on the mound.
  19. pacopete4
    It’s kind of cool to see Kershaw get the 9th.

    True, but a lot of time in our lifetime baseball hasn't gone our way. It's truly heart breaking. There's soon many extra games to get to this point. Next year isn't given to anyone. Really needed to take advantage of a home game 7. In our lifetime we haven’t been very good. Not going to hold that against this group of players who have been absolutely awesome to follow and watch. Like other posters have said, this is the beginning. Not the end.
  22. pacopete4
    Nine outs to go. Let’s put a scare into them. Either way guys, don’t be babied about this. The dodgers are a heck of a team. This is a great season. These guys are giving it everything they have. Sometimes baseball just doesn’t go your way.
  23. pacopete4
    Handle your emotions people. Enjoy this.
  24. pacopete4
    Hey what's one more! Might not have another IGT until April Knock it with that talk!
  25. pacopete4
    Arcia get on so Hader can bunt
