    Unless you're wearing a Cardinals jersey, then its OK. Pujols was one of the more egregious guys while also being the best hitter in the league at the time

    And tbf, if there is ever a time to do it is very late in the game when you need 1 run. Which again just gets back to my original posts real point which is that decisions like this are so close and can go either way without anyone being an idiot for it. There is a logic all the way around, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't since none are 100%

    To me it just supports the general 'anti bunt' crowd. Bunting is talked about as if its just simple easy thing, its just not easy anymore due to how hard the pitchers throw and how much more movement there is on breaking pitches. It's just not a simple "just bent them over". No idea on why to leave Frelick in vs an elite lefty though when a HR ties the game.

    Hey I'm an anti bunt guy in general but have to say I get a chuckle when it doesn't work and its a bunch of people saying how dumb it is. When in other circumstances a bad hitter like Mona doesn't bunt and gets a DP or crap AB for an out and its a bunch of posts saying how dumb it is not to have a bad hitter bunt to mover everyone up in a 1 run game. I'm aware its likely not the same posters so not saying anyone is a hypocrite or whatever but still get a laugh when I see it since this has been a "gotta bunt more" board for years. Just generally shows how many of these decisions really are 50/50 things that can go either way He sure looked bad t it though and the team should know that.

    If there was a time to try for it it would've been today with the ASB coming for a bunch of extra rest days. But they've been pretty clear about being super cautious with him

    Yea that's probably step 1, let Gary be as slow as possible and maybe even some rehab time in AAA. See if another injury happens to him or the other Cs in that time. And down the line you can also have Haase get a minor 'injury' and take 3 weeks off too in order to get close to the expansion. If you're getting really close to the expansion and still have a good lead to give some wiggle room I'd be fine with an OF going down and getting some regular ABs for a few weeks before coming back up. They probably have too many OFs on the roster as is, especially since Chourio basically shouldn't be sitting now. If I remember correctly Haase can be an emergency OF too.

    Works for me, pretty much the type of thing many here have been hoping for

    Eovaldi really is a good idea I hadn't thought of before if/when TX sells. Looks like last year of contract is this year, vesting option he might hit if he stays health (but likely comes up short). Even if he hits it he probably opts out to get a 3 year deal. Being last year he shouldn't cost too much other than eating money, but due to lack of good SP on the market it might drive up the prospect cost more than I'd want to do. But definitely one they should look into
  9. tmwiese55
    could be and that's fine by me. OTOH, pretty tough hand to be dealt if you're him. Show up after travel and have to pitch a few hours later, 2nd start at Coors, and if given another its at LAD. Not like I expected much from him anyway but not too many scrapheap pickups would be able to do much with that. But hey, maybe that's what he'll give us, eating 3 bad situation starts so others don't and then go our separate ways. Also, it would be one more against WAS from him to get through the ASB. That was my guess when they got him, to try to get to ASB and hopefully others will be back by then to let him go. But yea, if he's bad tonight it could be enough is enough type thing, it would also allow for a fresh arm up for Wednesday on until needing to call a starter of some kind a few days later
  10. tmwiese55
    I guess there is probably something that could be added that LAD pitching is weaker this year (should be much better next), ATL is missing their best hitter and SP so the field isn't as daunting as expected. Still, I don't think there is a Sabathia type starting pitcher out there to even get so anything you do doesn't drastically change your odds. So I'd vote lower level competent SP acquisition who doesn't cost you anything but money and lottery tickets. Grabbing a better backup IF can't hurt too and shouldn't cost much, like an Ahmed Rosario type who won't kill you if due to injury he has to start a lot.
  11. tmwiese55
    Junis pitched yesterday. And you have 4 games in Coors to get through. Sure would be nice to get through the 5th with him
  12. tmwiese55
    Since becoming a 'starter' in late April they're I think 6-6 (they won his previous 3 appearances where had started getting like 3 innings but I didn't count those) in his games and he has like a 4.05 ERA. For a guy thrown into the fire and a role way above him and what he should be able to do he's done well. He's been a big big help that he's been able to competently eat innings like he has at a time when the staff has been ravaged. His last time out he went 6 shutout.
  13. tmwiese55
    Side note, with the two pitchers Pitt has for the next 6 years being paid so little they should at least make a legit attempt next year at getting some offense even if they have to overpay yearly money. Kinda like when an NFL teams get a great QB on a rookie deal it really gives you a window.
  14. tmwiese55
    I didn't know Bauers could be back next year. But still, he's only been ok and would seem an easy one to not give arby to and let go or trade in the Taylor/Houser type way, keeping in mind they're likely going to need 40 man spots. It's also an easy spot to save a couple mil by going with Black instead of Bauers. But hopefully Bauers goes nuts to finish the year so they have no choice but to keep him
  15. tmwiese55
    With Chourio playing well now you hope that eliminates the OF need that seemed there a month or two back. Getting a more reliable starting P with all these injuries could be a help, but there is also a fair logic in just getting the guys back healthy to finish the year. But still, someone mid level who's reliable couldn't hurt. After that, I'd say a utility IF a level up to take Monasterio's spot would be the trade target. Not so much that it would matter if everyone is healthy, but if one of the 3 starters gets hurt you really don't want him as your every day guy. Really not much of that matters for WS though. That just comes down to dumb luck at the right time. And I suppose getting the 2 seed instead of 3 could really be a big help on that front.
  16. tmwiese55
    If Mitchell is as good when healthy as discussed then he should be up and Frelick can take a break in AAA. You want him getting regular ABs and he could also refresh on 2B/3B to add versatility when he comes back up when someone else gets hurt, which is inevitable. Keep Perkins up because you don't care if he doesn't get regular ABs and his D is so good. Bit more Yeli at DH and let Contreras actually get more rest. Having this kind of depth is good in a long season. Sure, if a legit trade happens and you need Frelick/Mitchell in then so be it. But you don't need to be searching for it either.
  17. tmwiese55
    Yea his numbers are still not great, another month and he's probably the #2 hitter though? Gonna be tough to catch the pitchers this year though. And if not aware Jackson Merril on SD is just as hot if not hotter than Chourio, and he was much better to start the year so he's well ahead right now for hitters.
  18. tmwiese55
    Relievers tend to get a few extra late calls too when starters drop out. I'd probably say Hudson should get in and then Megill on the short list when replacements are needed. But I know non-closers get overlooked so its more likely the other way around
  19. tmwiese55
    Contreras hit one absolute rocket for an out to left center. Don't recall his others off top my head
  20. tmwiese55
    Some rough luck here to be in this spot. Good easy last inning. Now is stuck in this due to a bunt and a dribbler. Fresh pen it seemed they tried to get too much out of him, but really it was some bad luck last two hits.
  21. tmwiese55
    Yup as of now the development plan of letting him take his lumps for a while at the big league level seems to have been the correct path. Vs the other option of going down for a bit then coming back, or having started down for a month or so to begin the year
  22. tmwiese55
    nah you're a sucker cuz you don't demand more. True fans actually hate their team
  23. tmwiese55
    I know of quote after quote of them literally saying the opposite, they've been posted in here. The Brewers are one of the best run franchise in all of baseball, some people are always going to negative no matter what. Again the thing missed is how the playoffs are a crapshoot in baseball so you can do all the tough guy 'go for it' and 'I demand more because I'm a real fan and you're not' moves and they're not going to noticeably increase your chances in the playoffs. But if you're a small market team they will definitely kill your chances in future seasons.
  24. tmwiese55
    No, they generally overperformed as a team. Obviously I'm not gonna micro analyze exact things as I have no idea, but in general they were an overachieving team last year and managers get credit (just or not) for it. Was another reason this Counsel signing came out of nowhere and was surprising.
  25. tmwiese55
    I would guess being the Cubs next had no impact on it and that they would've done the same thing if it was Miami or whoever next.
