    Also I don't know much about the RAmirez who just pitched. But quick looks it seems he's bounced around, only has a 5.5 era this year. If he's available in the offseason I'd be all over that guy and see what our coaches can do with that stuff
  2. tmwiese55
    What he was on the Sox before the last year and a half was competent starter. Then who knows *** happened there for a bit. Then he comes here and goes nuts. Chances are he's in between the *** and Babe ruth. Which would be somewhere in the ballpark of competency that he was before the crash. I'd say that's what most people hope or think could happen. Being an All Star 300, 1000ops 35/hr, 100 rbi I don't think is in anyone's realistic expectation. and even that just OKness he was on CWS before he crashed is more than Bauers has ever shown. And note I'm not a Bauers basher, I've been a general defender at times on here

    people made jokes about it. Nobody believed he had suddenly turned into babe ruth

    I don't think anyone here worships Vaughn or doesn't realize a snap back to reality was gonna come. Some jokers were fun at the time though I'm sure Also, even if Bauers had any kind of stretch or past akin to just what Vaughn had on CWS when he was young the point might be valid. He had back to back seasons with 750ish OPS and around 20 hr 75rbis for two seasons not that long ago

    ha, too funny. its crazy how much that happens. stuff we talk about and say before the game that doesn't make sense, then that guy comes through
  6. tmwiese55
    That could be a merger of topics. This goes on another day or two for Yeli and you might as well DL him. That lines right up pretty well with Hoskins approaching deadline
  7. tmwiese55
    Yea I have no real beef with Bauers the way many here do. But managements seeming dedication to him seems kind of odd. If you lose him when you DFA so be it. Sure he's probably better than Black (his closest positional comp being lefty and 1b/of) but its probably marginal at best and losing that depth this late in the year doesn't seem it should be a concern.
  8. tmwiese55
    Yea this is weird and I haven't seen anyone talking about it? He seems a well liked guy and was generally fine this year before getting hurt. My guess is some kind of roster manipulation thing? Perhaps the longer they hold Bauer the higher chances of keeping him in system when DFAd? Or generally waiting and see if anyone gets hurt before his due date so they can 'dl' that person to keep them. Or maybe if they were planning on Hoskins back in the last few days it got pushed back due to Yelich's issues since Bauers can play OF in a pinch. Just looked and it seems 9/9 is the date they have to activate him by.

    I just looked and Apple doesn't release numbers but its estimated they have over 40 mil subscribers. It was estimated around 25 in 2022. So yea they're doing very well and they do really well at awards time too. that said, I can't imagine MLB drove out new subscribers all that much so I'd generally agree. Granted, I did it last game. Its $10, and you get a whole month so the game plus a month of binging their shows for $10 isn't bad at all. Especially when a burger at mcdonalds is like $13 now. But the nfl on the other hand when Amazon did it for the first time a few years ago it worked just how they wanted, a record spike in subscriptions because of it. usa is just nuts about the nfl, as someone who's blah on nfl it still blows my mind.

    To me the more killer loss or thing that show the bigger issue right now was Monday blowing that big lead. Sure, Phil has great hitters but the biggest thing that has made MKE good for years now is pitching/bullpen. That's their backbone. Monday (along with a few others recently) have shown that strength is faltering right now. Of course partly due to injuries and fatigue caused by the 18 in 17 stretch. And now it seems Mears will be out too. One of our most reliable things all of a sudden is thin. Need Megill to come back strong to sure it up a bit. To me that's the bigger concern that the not scoring much on a rest day vs a good pitcher, while still having tons of scoring opps they effed up. That happens some days and they've generally been one of the best in the league on that so don't have much concern on it now.

    Can't believe he didn't PH Siegler there, what an idiot
  12. tmwiese55
    but they do play 6 in a row more after this. And in this thread there is one contingency bashing the manager for not resting guys enough, and also for resting too much. You have a 6 game lead and don't have to be desperate. You are looking to give guys days off and the best days to do it for LHH are when the other team has a lefty on the mound. Still, I probably hedge it a bit too and with how hot Turang has been I'd have let him roll, save him for an off day next time. I don't know what Perkins was doing today, looks totally out of it
  13. tmwiese55
    yea Jansen sure hasn't paid off. Supposed to be a lefty masher and it just hasn't happened. Sure I get haase is just blah but he was perfectly fine to me, usually came up with a hit/walk per game and seemed to have a bit of knack for coming through. I get wanting to upgrade where possible, especially if Contreras were to get hurt, but it just hasn't worked. Miller move as well didn't work. simpler route probably was just getting a good reliver who wasn't coming off an injury rather than jumping through all the hoops to get him. Hand might've been forced behind the scenes with Cortes wanting out but still a non-injure guy had to be there. Miller was awesome this year though, so i get why they wanted him
  14. tmwiese55
    He was given at least one day off. And keep in mind they were missing 3 OFs in the rotation for a chunk of that span with Chourio, Collins, Perkins. Four if you count backup OF Bauers. Frelick I think even got hurt for a few days in there. At one point they were having to start someone named Steward Berroa for a few days. In spite of all that, Yelich also DHd most of the time which is about as easy as one can take it in baseball.
  15. tmwiese55
    I saw something a few weeks ago trying to explain what's happened to him and my remembrance is a thought is that their pitch selection/location is messing up the tunnelling so its less deceiving as to which pitch is coming. Something like they where they are trying to locate each pitch gives it away which is coming quickly. He might be mentally cooked right now regardless for this season, but it wouldn't surprise me at all that brewers coaching could fix him.

    Two more defensive botches tonight and really still not much to show for results at the plate lately either. The way this team treats D its shocking the leash he's gotten just due to defense. Probably have to keep tapering off the platoon more as the month goes on. The way it is as of now you can't start him in a playoff game, might as well get Durbin abs against righties to prep for it as much as possible. But still, starts here and there to rest others and to keep him involved are fine. But the time has to be coming that enough is enough
  17. tmwiese55
    I don't see what difference it makes if you plan him as 2-3 innings person whether it comes to start the game or in the middle of the game. Since he's been starting its probably easier to keep the routine and yank after one time through or as soon as he struggles anytime in inning 3 or later. That said, with how he's struggled a bit combined with his innings limits and Miller/Megill hurt. I could certainly see a logic in starting to prep him now or soon to be a one inning guy for the playoffs to take one of those spots.
  18. tmwiese55
    With how easy that was you'd hope for 3, but they said the next guy was getting ready last inning so I don't think it's happening
  19. tmwiese55
    Hindsight it would've been nice to find a way to keep Cortes. I think we all were a bit surprised when that went down. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a behind the scenes discussion with his agent that led to it, impending FA for him and everything. Bad luck on timing that everyone was healthy at the time causing the logjam. Without going back and digging too deep the possible route to a spot for him was probably Miz down for a few weeks (which happened a week later anyway) or until someone else got hurt or schedule demanded it. But at the time how could you send Miz down

    Remember AZ did this to us in the second game in AZ too. I think it was a blown 5-0 lead in the 8th, something like that
  21. tmwiese55
    AZ had the #1 offense in the league last year. And I think are 3rd or 4th in OPS this year too. Even with losing the two guys at the deadline its more than an adequate O. Still, this is a crazy meltdown by the pitching/D
  22. tmwiese55
    Games played in Vegas next year, interesting. In addition to what you said on the last two months, those are generally against what should be good teams too. Other than Pit Also, I will never get why they schedule the off day after opening day for teams with a dome. So MKE is denied a Friday home opener again.
  23. tmwiese55
    I'm far from a knee jerk person. I get what they're trying to do with him and want to give him a good fair chance, and generally he'd been getting some better results until recently. To me, the first time I started thinking enough is enough was the defensive F ups in saturday's games. I know one wasn't technically an error but a good defender at least keeps it in the infield. The other was a huge botch to cost them runs. I'm at the point that they should tone down the platoon a bit. Sure, some starts to keep giving him a try and to rest others. But PH at clutch situation purely because of platoons I think can go away, maybe management has agreed too since they didn't do it last night and it ended up with Durbin hitting a big HR
  24. tmwiese55
    If things fall the right way and Tobias isn't needed on say Wed/Thurs he could just take the start on Friday. I'd rather him out there for 4-5 innings than Gasser in first game back
  25. tmwiese55
    In addition, since his two are Curve/FB its easy to identify which is which. That's why the FB/slider combos are usually better or more difficult to hit.
