The bullpen got us to first place. We need to take the bullpen call ups far more seriously than this.
-
How does anyone justify the argument that Zag and Wilkerson are our best 25 players?
-
Machado, Machado, Machado.
-
Miller is a much better hitter but he is no SS unless you're really desperate. Let's hope Arcia figures it out because we need him.
-
And Zag stays?
-
And now Wilkerson. We are really taking this being in first place thing seriously. Yes, blue.
-
Yes /thread
-
If he did, he is just posturing when he is negotiating a trade. We have seen this movie many times before. If he is behind schedule on June 30, he isn’t pitching in 2018 in any TOR capacity and likely not at all. We all saw his injury and the history behind it. No one that knows baseball and pitching was expecting him to be 2017 Nelson in 2018 at any point.
-
Pretty much everyone saw this coming. I doubt anyone in the FO had any plans he’d pitch this year.
-
Uhh... what? No not possibly better. He was kidding.

The costs of an inconsistent boom or bust offense
Boomer5 replied to adambr2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Counsel is probably the NL manager of the year. He has had this team over achieving for two years. I suppose any manager can be questioned for individual moves, but he has earned our respect, or at least he should have. -
His ERA and FIP are around 3.5. That's good, but one of the best starters in the game? Sorting by ERA, there are 29 starters with a better era. By FIP there are 20. He wouldn't even by our best starter based on those metrics, and our rotation leaves a lot to be desired. That still makes him a number 1 on many teams and a number 2 on every team. And he plays in the AL East. Our 17th best prospect got us about 20 innings of Swarzak for example. Happ will be a relatively major pick up by rental standards and the team that picks him up won’t have money on the books for 2019.
-
Santana sent down. Miller up
-
Apparently they had asked the Nationals for a package lead by Soto or Robles.
-
Happ is pitching like one of the best starters in the game. 1 Whip, 10 K/9. We won’t get him for a lower end prospect because there will be plenty of competition.

Syndergaard and deGrom
Boomer5 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I’d guess looking NY they would want a top 1-3 caliber prospect, not a nice depth package. They need to sell a silly deal like this to their fans, and the players need to be super blue chip to make sense giving up an ace with a lot of control. If it’s not a Sale + offer it would make no sense to NY and we just don’t have a guy like Moncada or a Torres. -
Syndergaard and deGrom
Boomer5 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
If Peralta is the real deal we should be rolling with him and saving our assets for hitting. We are not getting either of these guys without Hiura since they are only dangling them looking for an overpay. This is a Sale ++ type of deal because of control, so the Brewers won’t be a match. -
Machado won’t be cheap but he won’t be DeGrom either.
-
Machado is exactly what they need if the goal is to win the central, and because of his situation he wouldn’t cost the entire farm like DeGrom and Thor.
-
Machado is the target. He has to be.
-
Lol Aguilar doesn’t have any kind of track record to be “slumping”. He is what he is. A guy who can mash now and them but isn’t someone you’d want in the middle of your lineup with any regularity.
-
Syndergaard and deGrom
Boomer5 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Hiura and Burnes have to be in any trade for either of these two and it probably wouldn't be enough. -
We have never won a WS. We don't have the TOR guy that a one game WC requires so we really need to win the Central. Machado puts us over the Cubs. Yes it would cost Burnes and Peralta and I'm fine with that.
-
Hader is the runway MVP right now. Keeping him in the bullpen was brilliant. CC for manager of the year and we better lock up DJ to a long term deal. They are our LaRussa and Duncan without the DUIs and smugness.
-
Maybe we just need to adjust our new Brewer reality; we are a light hitting, good pitching team.
