    Finally a guy where a Wilkerson trade could happen. I’m pretty over Yo for various reasons, most notably his inability to throw less than 20 pitches even in a clean inning.
  2. Boomer5
    That’s the issue. We needed a starter and a stop gap 2B so needless to say we get a 3B and a 2B with a sub 300 OBA and paid full retail to get them. Seeing Gausman pitch was an eye opener of what we have lacked.

    Baseball has tried to make everything super complex, and those that don't comprehend the loss column are no exception. Discussing any aspect of loss column, games out, or magic number is somewhat low impact in mid August but it's what we do as fans. Heres the issue; if the Cubs only lose 4 games the rest of the way, they win. So the Brewers being "only 3 out" now is irrelevant. If you want to debate that knock yourself out.

    You can't subtract from the W column either. So, doesn't it matter as well? Yes it does. That's why the standings are calculated using both the wins and losses of respective teams. Yes, the Cubs have 5 less losses, but they also have to play 4 more games than the brewers from here on out. On average you can expect the Cubs to lose at least 1 of those, if not two. Of course, they could win them all, but that still doesn't matter. Anyway, if your logic was correct (it isn't) I assure you that MLB would show the Brewers 5 games back on their standings page. Back to reality though, right now the biggest thing that matters is these two games coming up against the Cubs. Brewers will be either 1,3, or 5 out after this series. In my opinion this could either make the race tight to the end or make it very hard for the Brewers to realistically keep up with the Cubs. You can add wins but you can’t subtract losses. It’s just math.

    So what you are saying is that Gray is putting up similar numbers to the top two pitchers in the team's rotation? Sign me up! I'd love to see a waiver deal for Gray, as long as the cost isn't enormous. I think the "Freddy Peralta is a viable starting option" idea has run its course. It's time to either send him down or put him in the pen. Depending on how valuable you find FIP, Gray has been more of a meh pitcher than a trainwreck as has been described. However I am sure Cashman has the same access to FIP as we do so I’m thinking it won’t be for Wilkerson

    Grays FIP is 4.32. Junior is 4.29 and Chacin is 4.26.

    The Braves have a good farm system and always have - it's a quality system the Crew is close to matching, but not yet. The Cubs and Dodgers have money to throw at their problems. The Phillies have a decent system, but Philly is still a big city. We aren’t anywhere near the farm system of the Braves.

    What if I told you the win column has exactly the same amount of meaning in the standings as the loss column. This is why they use games back or winning percentage. The Cubs are more likely to have less losses than us when they've played less games, so that's why the current standings base the rankings off of best record, not losses. Until you can figure out a way for the Brewers to be able to subtract losses from their W/L record, the loss column is and always will be the only thing that matters.

    5 back in the loss column is 5 back. I know on the internet we are supposed to argue everything but this is not a fact that is up for that treatment. The loss column is all that matters in the playoff chase.
  10. Boomer5
    Peralta has struggled in the first inning consistently. That profiles as a very bad reliever.
  11. Boomer5
    Then why does the manger get the blame when the players don’t do their jobs? Mind blown bro....
  12. Boomer5
    Run differential has us as a 84 win team. That feels about right.
  13. Boomer5
    The Brewers are hitting .462 this game. That should count for something.
  14. Boomer5
    Chase giveth and Chase taketh away.
  15. Boomer5
    The Brewers are 55-2 when leading after 7 innings with our former All Star closer falling apart. CC is managing the bullpen just fine.
  16. Boomer5
    Great add with the Game Notes link!

    Dozier 250/400/625
  18. Boomer5
    On twitter they have a floating Gray for Broxton and Z Brown idea.
  19. Boomer5
    Huge!!!
  20. Boomer5
    What a play by Braun! Doing everything he can to save the game.
  21. Boomer5
    The Shaw play on an easy double play shows why 3B aren’t second basemen.
  22. Boomer5
    Teams do this all the time. The Bucks would play some lollipop thing when announcing the other team. Welcome to the twitter troll era.
  23. Boomer5
    That’s the best you can hope for in a Kratz ab.
  24. Boomer5
    He hit it hard. Nothing to complain about that AB.
  25. Boomer5
    Huge opportunity
