We got Jordan Lyles last season from the Padres ... Stearns bragged about Lyles' arm and then let him go to the division rival Pirates for what? Lyles was having a very fine season before having an injury earlier this month ... I don't know ... I'm just a loser fan who doesn't know anything, but there is plenty of questions that I have about how things are run. ( my rant is over for tonight ... ) Go Brewers! Club the Cubs! Make it hard for the Cards!
Jared Hughes released ... listen, David Stearns is a smart, calculating man ... but, he is hardly above reproach. Right now, his keeping Shaw on this roster while Hiura waits in the wings is downright infuriating.
Gennett released, Schoop traded for, Santana traded, Hiura under-used this season, Miley released, Lyles released, Shaw over-used this season ... somebody in management is over-rated. I'm just getting warmed up ...
Domingo's defense looks far better than the Brewers defense tonight ... to the guy that said there was a 32% catch probability on Braun's line drive that landed deep on the warning track in the first inning, I would agree only if the typical outfielder had 40-foot long arms!
The bashing of Domingo Santana and relative love for Ben Gamel is rather ridiculous in this forum! Domingo has 13 more homeruns, a 28-point higher batting average, 42 more RBI's, and 4 more stolen bases!
He underrated Domingo Santana, too, who is putting up all-star numbers this year with Seattle. I know he was in Houston's system first, but he was in our minors for awhile wasn't he?
I have no recollection of him playing the outfield like Eric Thames ... Santana is on pace for an all-star season ... Gamel will never be on pace for that, I predict.
