    Sounds good to me!
  2. pacopete4
    Ok now it's ballgame. Going to be hard to trade Lohse like this.
  3. pacopete4
    And here is our "ace"
  4. pacopete4
    I wish we had Cueto. Fun to watch every 5 days.
  5. pacopete4
    Carl Crawford now down. They have no back end of their rotation. Now is the time to unload Gomez and Lohse or Garza to get back a pitcher like Urias and other prospects.
  6. pacopete4
    Wish there was a way to get Rogers in the lineup. LF? Lind in LF and Rogers at 1B? I don't know but the man can hit.
  7. pacopete4
    I hope you are right. The Brewers could use something good to happen. I hope you're right too but I just can't see it due to being so ineffective against lefties.
  8. pacopete4
    You're not consistently a .300 hitter because of PEDs. More power? Sure. But that average is low due to a thumb injury and adjusting. If everyone's stats doubled with PEDs you'd still have more guys using and trying to get away with it.
  9. pacopete4
    Maybe. I will grant that as a distinct possibility But to be clear: I am saying that Braun just might be Gennett without PED's. And I'm dead serious. Well, Scooter is better defensively That's where we completely differ. The Ryan Braun talents of baseball do not come around often. Sure his defense is just average but his bat, PED's or not during his prime, is just flat out better than Gennett could ever dream of being.
  10. pacopete4
    Agreed Jericho. The Dodgers have some nice pieces in the minors and seem to want to build towards a championship NOW. This and all the money in the world drums up the idea of a trade with them. We need Lohse and Garza to do their part and pitch well so we can move them for some quality pieces.
  11. pacopete4
    I highly doubt that. Everything I've read on the tested effects of steroids suggests this is false. I mean other players who got busted mostly reverted to like 90% of their old stats just like you would expect. Braun has a hand injury added to his case which makes him the unique one and likely causing him to be the outlier. These aren't the steroids of the Bonds era where they added tons of muscle mass, the steroids used today are very different. Then why are they risking everything by taking them in the first place? They don't enhance performance? Its kind of in the name PED's to begin with. I don't think he's saying that PED's do not enhance performance. He's just trying to say the Gennett's of the world do not become the Braun's of the world by taking PED's. The thumb injury has WAY more to do with Braun's recent struggles that any PED he ever took.
  12. pacopete4
    The Brewers would just let a guy like Schafer hit anyways so I'm just fine with keeping the pitchers in the lineup.
  13. pacopete4
    He gave up money? I read it that he would be paid the same but the Angels would be paying him the majority.
  14. pacopete4
    Sure would be nice to get a win today to set up a chance for a series win. I know that's asking a lot right now but this team needs some things to build on.
  15. pacopete4
    I'm sorry but PED's or no PED's, Braun can still hit a baseball. While those things might have kept him healthier, I still do not believe they help you hit a baseball. Still have to have the talent to do it.
  16. pacopete4
    Chapman is as good as it gets. Shouldn't give up 9 in the first place.
  17. pacopete4
    At least we didn't wait till 100 pitches?
  18. pacopete4
    Jimmy Nelson, oh my.
  19. pacopete4
    Need a DP
  20. pacopete4
    I don't care how bad Braun is he's not as bad as Schafer.
  21. pacopete4
    Oh great. Now Nelson sucks.
  22. pacopete4
    @Todd_Rosiak 2m2 minutes ago Cincinnati, OH Just talked to Ryan Braun. He is not out due to injury today. Unless it's a bruised ego you're talking about, Rosiak says there is no injury. Maybe it's a wake-up call. Mental break. He's lost his mojo and needs to find that confidence that made him the HOF caliber player he is. I have faith he will do that. All it takes is a hot streak to tell himself, I can do this again.
  23. pacopete4
    I honestly think the biggest thing Braun lacks right now is confidence. A lot of people do not have faith in him anymore and I think some of that has fallen off to him in his own mind. That thumb gave him fits and didn't allow him to swing like he can. While it might not hurt him, he changed his game (think Tiger changing his golf swing and struggling). When Braun gets hot, and it will eventually happen, he will regain whatever mojo he had as a baseball player. While he might not OPS .950 anymore, I honestly have faith that he'll be about an .850-.900 OPS guy and to me, that makes his contract well worth it.
  24. pacopete4
    But my point is that they shouldn't have these guys. What's the point? Honestly.. what is the point of these players being in the league? There are many better options to have on your roster and it just makes zero sense to me. It's almost like they are saying, screw it, we'll pay some crap guy league minimum to be on our roster.
  25. pacopete4
    Bottom line, it isn't the worst contract for the Brewers and it won't hold this team back going forward. I know people's feelings are hurt by Braun, mine were a little bit too, but lets just hope he hits somewhat and other players around him step up as well.
