    Hiura was out of options. If a team claimed him they had to insert him in to their opening day roster or waive him leaving the Brewers to rinse repeat. Part of the reason towards keeping him down. The next time he can refuse and become a FA. The team is walking an idiotic line continuing to play Winker and not give Hiura his final chance to stick with this team as a ML. I'm of the suspicion that the team has every intention to sell. Keeping Winker/Tellez through trade deadline in hopes they have a hot streak like Adames is now and get something in return with a trade.

    Looking at Hiura's AAA, he's approaching the PAs he had at AAA back in 2019 before first callup. Fairly similar aside from slugging being lower. I'm curious on his team control. He's clearly had an additional year added to it. But at this stage where does he sit on Super 2? Started year 3.009 how many days are left this season? I'm counting 80days from just after ASB. That's long past the .110+ you'd think making him a Super 2. What does Winker have going for him that keeps him on the team? Statcast numbers show his decrease in hitting. The expected numbers are nearly identical. How does the front office continue forward keeping him on the roster? He's a .320OB-.572 OPS batter. Is it really important that Hiura remains on AAA team because the hole he'd create when gone being the reason? Winker needs to be gone. A bad year last year is looking great for his numbers if he produced that this season. He's toast stop already with seeing if there's any good left.

    You don't see pitcher Carlos Rodriguez as untouchable? Luis Lara? Abner Uribe? I fully get Frelick(8/40 since return in AAA no XBHs)being a headliner as the defense/power potential isn't up there with Wiemer or Mitchell. Now I would trade the untradeables if getting a longer controlled player who fits the needs as a position player for position player or pitcher for pitcher. What clogs this buy at trade deadline is the, Are you trading the guys set to be FAs after 2024 after the season if not 1 or 2 at this trade deadline? Using our top guys in minors with trade value to improve this team doesn't sit right with the impending trade of the future FAs next offseason. Using the guys who aren't top tier in our minors, what are you really improving this team doing so? The players traded for is likely a rental of another version of Anderson, Winker, or Tellez downside/upside. Another version of Matt Bush upside/downside. As we sit right now, we're heading a playoff pitching matchup with Burnes, Miley, then Peralta. Sucks where we are sitting. We need 2 bats with confidence they are good bats to make an impact on offense. 1 better SP than Miley&Peralta. 1 RP that is late inning reliable. Did any of these 50 in OP fill that honestly? Competing with 15+ other bidders potentially. It'd wipe out the entire high tier of prospects acquiring these 4 players.

    I remember his high above-near top of zone FBs getting swings and misses in previous seasons. Working the lower 1/3rd of the zone only seems easier to prepare your swing. Foul off pitches like Tauchman did to hit that 2b. High inside? Where's the management where a batter is ice blue on contact up in the zone but nuetral-red in bottom 2/3rds of zone? You have say a Hiura at the plate why would Williams just continue pitching bottom 3rd when Hiura can't connect on top of zone FBs?
  5. brewcrewdue80
    Why does Williams lately or all season IDK not waste a FB above the zone? All 6 pitches there bottom 3rd of the zone. Noticed this in the Cubs blown save. Just kept pitching low and never changed the batter's eyes on levels. I don't think Contreras is doing a good job managing pitch sequencing....(with that article on his movements with runners on 2b as a question to why Atlanta traded him)
  6. brewcrewdue80
    Well that'll be the last of Miller in a Brewer uniform. Pretty predictable way they use these guys.
  7. brewcrewdue80
    He's a 19year old in AA. Holiday ahead of him is older 19 just in A+. De La Cruz is 21 nearly 22months older than Chourio. He was at Rok/A ball vs where Chourio is competing at 19. You could do this all the way down the top 100 list. The season isn't over and it doesn't take much of a run to make his numbers eye popping for his age than they already are. Doesn't this statement mean the Brewers should still be seeking a top 20 prospect for Adames? You know, should Milw be swept all 6 games vs the Reds or lose 5 of 6(lost 5 straight to Pittsburgh that one year just saying) Hope Adames has himself a decent July. Alonso has just a few extra HRs on his statline that keeps him from being meh. Savant has his EV down 3 years straight, max HR distance 3 years straight, his XHR lower than all the other MLB stadiums except the 26 in Mets. He's trending down as he ages.
  8. brewcrewdue80
    So there's only 4 teams in baseball-Arizona, Milw, Cincy, and maybe Baltimore who could trade for Alonso? Dela Cruz, Chourio, Caroll, and Henderson? Anybody else?
  9. brewcrewdue80
    That's foolish and you know it. Anything less is most definitely happening. Chourio is the #1/2 prospect in baseball. De La Cruz will have graduated by the deadline. There is no way Chourio is even on the table in trade literally barring it being for somebody like De La Cruz/Caroll or Henderson. Mets can ask for that type of return, but teams aren't meeting it. Pittsburgh never got what they asked for Reynolds and then finally extended him. Don't believe the Brewers got what they wanted for Hader, but Arnold made a mistake during a rough month for Hader and pulled the trigger on what was clearly below the return I'd have expected for Hader. Alonso is going to be on track for over 20mil pay next season and .214/.307 is looking just a little bit better than Tellez of 2022. 2020 Alonso played 57games worth .2WAR around what he's tracking at right now. Teams aren't lining up to pay his 20+mil salary next season knowing that line is in play and will demand a cheaper prospect cost.

    Such BS. Btw what a damn AB by Tauchman after strike 3 on pitch 4. 3 straight fouled pitches on Ch/FB/CH that were perfectly located to K someone.
  11. brewcrewdue80
    Called outside that strike all night. Pinched him. Game should been over on foul tip. Ump just gave this game to Cubs.
  12. brewcrewdue80
    2 belt high, down the middle of plate gidp to end last 2 innings. Kinda shows you why Steele succeeds with 2 pitches. Batters not making pitchers pay on mistakes.
  13. brewcrewdue80
    Vintage 2021 Houser like I said. Outperform the Fip. Expect double plays.
  14. brewcrewdue80
    Houser didn't allow a HR. Ground ball pitching to contact will look like this statline. Vintage '21 Houser.
  15. brewcrewdue80
    Seeing the replays on both sends. Out by 2 steps each. Miller took 2 awful slides. Send down the 3b coach and call up Nashville's 3b coach. Can it work that way?

    Here comes the 6+ run bullpen blowup and run diff maker.
  18. brewcrewdue80
    ESPN doesn't even have a picture for this guy.........So Winning?
  19. brewcrewdue80
    Rowdy standing on 2b to start the 10th not ideal. At 36 games without a HR and just 3 2b 1 3b.
  20. brewcrewdue80
    I have a feeling another comeback.
  21. brewcrewdue80
    He did finish the month of June beating Arraez' BA with his OPS. nearly tied heading in to the final 3 games of June

    Was curious seeing as we're in a 17games in 17 days stretch how the Reds schedule compared. Think I seen it as 13games in 13days being their longest stretch. We've now had 2 10game road trips with no days off during. 3games before the 1st for 13straight. And this 10game has 7 at home for the 17straight. Cincy has had a 9game road trip thus far as longest with a day off after 6. Their next 10game road trip (1st) after allstar break has a day off after 3games here, and the next 7 begin their 13games in 13days with 6 at home. Then they have their 3games at home-10games on road for 13straight to finish Aug 30. Certainly advantage through their season. And oh yeah we have another 17games in 17days in September vs just 9 as their longest. About that StL. team. They play us 7 times, Cincy 6 times, and Pitt 3 times in Sept. But talk about a gauntlet finish after Aug 16th. No team below 38wins currently.
  23. brewcrewdue80
    That would also reduce the value needed then to acquire JC but he's going to still have numerous teams raising his value to acquire.
  24. brewcrewdue80
    Does the percentage even care or consider this scenario? The point is when it was 2011 Stl only had to worry about the Braves. They weren't behind 2 or more teams where it's guaranteed 1 will win when facing eachother. It's just how well does Atl play vs how well Stl played. Were there H2H games to play still? This current percentage likely goes off current rosters and not rosters when deadline is over. It's just the number of teams they have to gain on. 4 teams are like 8 or more games ahead of them. Add 5 games behind Milw/Cincy (on division deficit because again somebody has to win these upcoming 9games vs eachother. This is where was it Nate who pointed out the amount of win pct pace they'd have to be on to catch the top teams ahead of them. Each h2h between the teams currently ahead of the Cards is another .5 games the Cards are behind that team. Those 8 at the moment control their destiny finishing ahead of the Cardinals. Now I suppose Cubs/Pirates could have enough games facing the Cards that the Cards control their destiny over them. But that's not happening with all the teams ahead of them.
  25. brewcrewdue80
    You are counting on 8 teams to fall apart. Underachieving teams like Mets/Padres to continue to play below expectations while a team 14games below 500 to suddenly make an epic winning streak the final half of the season. 1 team to overcome vs 8. A bunch of these teams will play vs. Eachother where 1 team has to win. Take Brewers vs Pirates now. Brewers vs Cubs next. No matter what they can't gain a game on 1 of the teams in that scenario. Without winning 7 straight games right now they will fall a game further behind that days winning team.
