    Win tonight and tomorrow and they're tied for first.
  2. tmwiese55
    I'm not either. But man you started this by saying anyone capable of a game like that should be let go, when literally anyone is capable of that, And I don't know what to tell you about your expectations for 4 and 5 starters if you don't think they're going to get beat up every once in a while. I guess just look around the league a little more and see what the reality is.
  3. tmwiese55
    Well that's not what was said. And yea, that's what being a 4 or 5 starter is, it's what you expect to happen every once in awhile. I do a fair amount of fantasy baseball and if you really pay attention you'd be surprised how often games like that happen from guys who are supposed to be much better than Garza. It's just part of the game of baseball over such a long season. For it making 'no sense' to keep him, you don't have to look further than the current season. What would they have done without him this year with all the issues and injuries? Does that mean it 'makes no sense' to let him go? No, of course not. It means it could easily be argued either way and either decision is in the realm of logic, can't blast the GM either way. It's a close call and he's entrusted in making that decision. Not us.
  4. tmwiese55
    I can't believe that even needed to be said. Just a few weeks ago Scherzer gave up 5 runs, and I think 3 HRs in the first inning. Check out Kershaw's playoff history, plus he gave up 6 runs a month or so back. So, I think a guy that's only supposed to be a 4 or 5 starter should be expected to have a game like that here and there.
  5. tmwiese55
    That's just it, you're not going to get anything for him so why not just keep him around for whatever is needed out of him next year. I bet he'd end up pitching 100+ innings, probably will end up about the amount of innings as he did this year. And it wouldn't be like we're forcing it like in the past.
  6. tmwiese55
    Yea if they decide to spend 10+ mil on a legit good starter I think it would be his end here. That said, I guess I'd rather just have Garza at 1/ 5 mil than the next Garza at 4/45. Unless the guys actually legit, but in that case he'd be too expensive and/or not available so. Who knows, maybe last night was the start of his collapse and the decision is made for them in the next month. I'm just saying I think they're going to need multiple guys to fill out those last spots
  7. tmwiese55
    We'll see I guess and some depends on how he finishes the year, but if he does roughly what he's been going I think they bring him back at the 5 mil and pencil him in as the 4 or 5 starter. If he falls apart you cut him like they did with Feliz. If he's fine then you get the good results and helps keep innings down on other guys. He'll likely hit the DL once or twice giving others opportunities to step in for him. Basically, the rotation would be similar to this year in the way it goes down involving a lot of guys in and out, Garza being one. Guys like Hader/Woodruff can't be banked on for 180+ innings. Guerra might be done. Do we really think Suter is anything more than a Jungman like fluke? For so cheap, might as well start him out and see how he does. Keeps some innings off a Hader and/or some time for Hader to build strength back up in the minors so he go deep in games.
  8. tmwiese55
    At 5 mil with so little salary on the books and no teams will give more than just filler/blah prospects I think it's pretty clear they'll just hold him for next for depth. We've been down to 3 starters at points this year, you need to have 6 or 7 going into each year. No reason he can't be one of them at such a small cost
  9. tmwiese55
    Team is massively overachieving and have a legit manager of the year candidate here and people bashing him and calling for the guys head. It's a long season, there's going to be bad losses and things to nitpick but overall he is doing well. He has been handed trash to use in the BP, Joe Torre couldn't properly manage this bullpen the way you guys expect with only one reliable guy (now two with Swarzak). The offense is tight right now though, hopefully he can get them back to the fun carefree way they were playing before the ASB. That's not say I didn't expect or want a bunt there, but to act like the guys a moron or a terrible manager because of it is just an overreaction. It can easily go either way. I'd have rather gone with someone fresh than Barnes too, but like I said his options are garbage. Swarzak I'm sure was unavailable and he wanted to save Knebel for the save situation if it came up.
  10. tmwiese55
    Think of it like this. He for sure has to be in the top 6 right now since he's clearly one of the top 6 hitters. And they need to start bunching as many hits together as possible to get things going. So, where do you think he makes most sense, #6 or #1? Those would be the two options for him imo. I'd lean towards #1 due to the speed aspects of having him on in front Santana, Braun, Shaw. And generally having less power than the other 5 besides Pina. That's how simply I look at it right now. It would also give you a basically set 1-5 every games instead of so much flip flopping around every day. The guys moving in and out of the lineup would be C, 2b, CF.
  11. tmwiese55
    That's another topic in itself. Why would he possibly need to wear a uniform to do things like that? Just like managers/coaches during games, makes no sense. I remember a few years ago some manager got fined for not complying somehow, like just wearing a pullover without the jersey. Something of that nature, don't recall for sure. I wanna say it was Francona when he was still in Boston
  12. tmwiese55
    Yea not sure how diehards who would frequent this board have missed that he's been doing really well since mid-May. At the very least you have to get him up to 6th and have CF and 2B behind him. And I'd add it's been fairly consistent, not some massive streakiness like Broxton or Thames have done.
  13. tmwiese55
    The offense just shouldn't be this bad. They have plus hitters at 6/8 of positions right now, maybe you could call 1B just average but it's not like it's a black hole or something. Sooner or later it's going to start clicking again and the RISP can't continue
  14. tmwiese55
    I could get behind the lineup just posted by Devinep. CC has obviously been tinkering with leadoff for a bit now and have to think this has to be given a shot soon. However, I also think he'll be stubborn with Thames so it goes like below. I like Devinep's route. Arcia Thames Braun Shaw Santana Pina
  15. tmwiese55
    bench is so short you just have to save Villar in case something happens.
  16. tmwiese55
    I was thinking but from Sogard/Villar too but my guess is the didn't because Jesus is the runner who'd be on 3rd and he's just so slow. Combine with Broxton's K rate and I get it. Probably could have easily gone either way and no one can really complain
  17. tmwiese55
    Really surprised Davies didn't get the 8th considering Swarzak and Knebel are probably unavailable. He was just cruising. Whatever, they got out of it and Perez with a big Badger Mutual Insurance Run that I feel like we'll need
  18. tmwiese55
    Brewers will be in first place by the end of next week.
  19. tmwiese55
    Yep, that would make a big difference. We know Tampa can turn out for sporting events (see Lightning) so it should help. It seems like there has been at least some progress. Miami should see a boost once Loria gets rid of the team, but the new owners have to undo decades worth of distrust and disinterest. Yea that's my guess, they'll argue a new stadium will fix attendance. It won't, and you'll have the same situation as Miami. They said the exact same thing when they built Miami's new stadium. And as much as the guy is a crook, the Marlins overall have been an overall success on the field since they came in, of course a bit unconventional with the big spends and then sell offs, but it's worked. Besides the titles only 2 season below 69 wins in the last 20 years, so generally competitive. At least better than what we've done.
  20. tmwiese55
    Yup. Has there been any changes to the Tampa stadium situation? I know it's basically crap, but after this long they don't draw anyone it's probably time to give someplace else a crack at it and see how it goes rather than spending a billion on a new stadium there. I don't recall any news about a new stadium. Probably better to do that than a 2 team expansion. Montreal and Charlotte would keep them in the AL East.

    I caught the end of that only. Am I right that Jesus was walking away with his head down and the ump chased him down and started yelling at him? Also, Perez two hits today after I was negative on him, and I saw both. Now if he comes up late in a critical time please don't swing at the first pitch off the plate on your hands. Yes but Jesus barked after getting called out earlier in the game. So it wasn't just out of the blue. But an ump can't just go after a guy who's walking away. Right, if an ump acted like that after what Harper did last week, sure stand up for yourself. Jesus said his piece and was walking away, let it die and move on. If he said something so egregiously offensive (whatever that line is in MLB, has to be something well beyond F bombs based on my lip reading over the years), just toss him. No need to try and instigate more

  23. tmwiese55
    How about just last night? There ya go. I had a game of my own last night so didn't get back until the 8th right before Jesus's HR. So my experience on Perez was seeing him swing at two balls vs Rosenthal and get out. Right as I was thinking Rosenthall already has 11 pitches coming into this inning, for a guy with big control problems if we can get him into the upper 20s anything can happen. Instead that. I'd be curious on his RISP success. I know the whole team has been awful lately but it sure seems he's one of the worst of late. Just generally he just seems not to be doing anything near 2nd half last year or earlier this year where you felt like you needed to find a way to get him out there. Now it just seems a bit forced since he's not really doing great. Of course the problem is no one is doing great right now
  24. tmwiese55
    Maybe. I've been feeling fairly down on Perez lately. It's like I don't remember the last time he did something positive. I'm sure there's something I missed or forgot but just seems like over and over of bad ABs. I think I'd prefer keeping Sogard out there vs righties for a while. Still milks the count and doesn't' strike out, hopefully the start falling again.
  25. tmwiese55
    I played in HS and I would agree, there is so much work that goes into football that playing less games would really frustrate me. You do all that work for the fun of those games. And wow on how soon games start, I could be wrong but I felt like we didn't have first games until the last Fri in Aug or first in Sept, but that was 15 years ago so things change and/or I just remember wrong. So yea nevermind on them starting now if they have to play on the 18th. Based on what you said I'd think a move could be to reduce the playoffs by one round/week. Sure teams would get cut from the playoffs but most of those teams are walking into a massive beatdown anyway and it's best for their safety not to play it.
