Brooklyn 9-9 is headed to NBC. Last Man Standing headed to Fox.
-
Great hot take. Perez has had two good games in Colorado so yeah, [sarcasm]second base is now solved.[/sarcasm]
-
Taking Braun out in this slug fest seems awfully foolish.
-
Juuuuust enough to keep me interested. Rally caps are on!
-
Pitching staff was due for a game like this.
-
Not making a case to stay up.
-
97 down the middle of the plate doesn’t get it done up here Woody. Ask Peralta how that goes.
-
Thought that was gone off the bat. Come on Woody, get it together.
-
[sarcasm]Oh come on Yelich. How do you get doubled off there!?!?[/sarcasm]
-
Media probably has the same bias as some other fans so they’re probably ecstatic he’s riding the pine.
-
How do you know he wanted to come back? Where did I say that he did? Just stated that we could’ve used that production so far.

The Brewers will always need to rely on young, pre-arby guys contributing to the MLB team, but sometimes prospects aren't fully ready when they are first called up. Arcia is a very talented young player, but the Brewers brought him up before his bat was anywhere near MLB ready. If the Brewers had any decent options right now, I would have no problem with them sending him down to work on things. Not because he "sucks and is worthless and never will be good," but because he is struggling and could probably use some time in the minors to work things out. Then, when he does come back to the MLB team, he'd be better. Unfortunately, we have no valid options to replace him, so he will continue to have to try to figure things out in the majors. This kind of hits us with a double-whammy. He's burning his clock when he's not ready and not adding much "above replacement" value to the MLB team, and when he's finally ready to be the star he can be, he will be into his arby years and then on to free agency. If they really wanted to push Arica down, they could flip Villar back over to SS and let Perez/and whatever AAAA player Stearns can find to fill that role.

Just looked at Lucroy's stat line. We could've used that here.
-
The statement was that he is costing the team wins and he isn't. Could he be better right now? Of course. No one is debating that. This is what you deal with sometimes with bringing up young talent. People always gripe that we don't go with a youth movement but when we do, and they don't come out and swing it like the Babe, then it said that they suck and are worthless and never will be good. It truly is amazing. Patience is something the Brewers must and should have. And by Fangraphs, he's playing at -0.1 WAR. Isn't that indicative that he's costing them wins? Or at least 0.1 win? Playing young players is fine, but it's also ok to point out when they're playing poorly. I don't know if he's going to be worthless in the future. But the stats are what they are. He's walking less, hitting more ground balls and fewer line drives. There are no underlying stats that show he's growing in any real way on offense. And by baseball reference he’s a +.4 He’s had a rough start offensively to the season. Again, is anyone debating that?

From Fangraphs: Of the 106 players in the NL with 100+ plate appearances, Arcia ranks 105th in wRC+. If you want to add in his defensive value and look at overall WAR, he rises to 97th. So whatever he shows with the glove, it doesn't make up for his anemic bat. He's been the least valuable SS in the league. The fact that the Brewers really don't have anyone else to play the position on a regular basis doesn't mean Arcia has been valuable. He's fortunate that the team has no other options. The statement was that he is costing the team wins and he isn't. Could he be better right now? Of course. No one is debating that. This is what you deal with sometimes with bringing up young talent. People always gripe that we don't go with a youth movement but when we do, and they don't come out and swing it like the Babe, then it said that they suck and are worthless and never will be good.

Yes. Bring back the DFA Braun thread and toss in Santana in there as well
-
Bring back JJ. People could then unretire their shirzies that are probably too small for them now. Edit: JJ Has been pretty terrible as of late so my vote is for Rickie Weeks to regain his crown at 2B.
-
What about Raffy Lopez from San Diego at catcher? I don't know a ton about him but he is a former Cubs 16th round draft pick. He is 30 years old and won't be a free agent until 2024. In 8 minor league seasons (over 2,000PA) he carried a .275/.358/.416/.774 slash line. He is a left-handed bat that could replace Vogt from that side of the plate.
-
Arcia is not costing this team wins. Period.
-
As has been battled on this board with about 10 prospects discussed from Colorado Springs, the Rockies play in similar conditions. I'm glad we got the hits, but if we hit the ball all over Coors, I'm not calling it a cure for our ailments. Eh, sometimes you just need something to get you going and maybe swatting it around in Colorado will do just that.
-
Pounding out 12 hits last night will hopefully be a sign of coming out of this funk. We also hit several other balls right on the screws.
-
I’ll take a gold glove caliber SS who sees every ball as his any day.
-
JJ doesn’t want to give up that 9th inning.
-
Regression mode still in effect?
-
He gave up a weakly hit ground ball. Oh, so you agree that it was a great start. Awesome.
