    Wait I thought our owner sucked? Of course you're generally right. But the main reason is small market lack of resources too. They're a small market team that hasn't come up with a plan to overcome it like MKE/TB have in order create consistent success. It's not easy. They're just throwing stuff at the wall though. If/when these pitchers are good they'll be scrambling to find hitting and won't have enough (I guess that applies to MKE the last 4 years, but at least MKE has been good/competent for 15 years now. And I guess to be fair, they did have that 3ish year run of being legit good where I think they got unlucky and had to play 1 game playoffs and lost them? With a little luck they could've gotten a title like how KC did. They won 98 games I think twice and didn't even get to win the division.

    I used Abraham Toro, Jesus Aguilar, and Dave Nilson for the Brewers. And got Vinny Rottino in for LF/C combo, he was a .01%.

    Was just gonna post similar. A Cards fan or Gray's entourage you have to wonder why he's out there right now racking up this on his arm at his age. He didn't have it today, game is as good as over. With his age and some past injuries seems you should get him out. Then again, not like I'm tuned into their BP's rest. But I think they had a rainout yesterday didn't they so should be fresh

    Twins on MLB today. Former Brewer and guy a lot of us wanted back in Carlos Santana so far is at 195/280 with a 611 ops. I'm confident he'll rebound and be just fine but rough start for him. Generally speaking Bauers has been slightly better so far while also having more position flex and costing a few million less. But did cost whatever we gave in the trade. I think Bauers has gotten a bit unlucky on balls (though not sure how the advance stats check out), and having not watched Twins game I can't say on Santana.

    Rough day on D too. first two runs were on the D (just crappy luck with slipping, no one to blame) and then the messup late too.
  6. tmwiese55
    well I mean yea, if they hit like crap which I know Trout and Witt did then at that point they were AAA hitters. Doesn't mean the development plan didn't work out later which I'm fine with. Doesn't change that at the time they were AAA players. Everyone was at some point. You know I can also give a list of hot prospects who flopped too right? I know we all love the kid and hope for the best. But we don't have to twist ourselves in knots to make excuses like he's awesome no matter what. Struggling now doesn't mean he 'sucks' or won't get better later.
  7. tmwiese55
    He's basically been awful at MLB. I like him as a prospect too and have no beef with them trying this route. but folks step back and be realistic as to how he's played so far. Acknowledging it doesn't mean you hate the guy or don't think he'll be good,. He's 20 and it was unrealistic to think he'd be ridiculously good right away so I don't blame him. But its essentially unarguable that he has not hit well and is overmatched right now. He had like 24 PAs in AAA didn't he?
  8. tmwiese55
    Yea so as I said, he's up for reasons other than his actual ability to play right now, which is what we're talking about. Right now he and Frelick are AAA level players. Hopefully it pays off and they improve later, but right now they're not starting level MLB players. IMO if not for the contract and now the injuries he'd be in AAA right now. Or would've been for the first few weeks and have possibly been brought up now-ish if he tore up AAA.
  9. tmwiese55
    Its fine if you want to develop him and know his potential. But actual game play he's a AAA player right now. He essentially skipped aaa. Results speak for themselves
  10. tmwiese55
    Chourio should be in AAA in terms of actually play/development at this point. Due to injury though you can't I get why they sent there due to the OF running to the side so its a tough throw. But I probably take my chances 2nd and 3rd 1 out once Dunn correctly hesitated to make sure it was down.
  11. tmwiese55
    yea I'd agree on this one. Made me double check if there's an off day tomorrow and there is not.
  12. tmwiese55
    While of course I don't think Bauers is anythign special, I do think he's getting too much hate on here. Have to remember doing it this way keeps your organizational depth better. If you keep Black and DFA Bauers you lose him (well I'm guessing he doesn't have options, didn't check). This way you have both for the war of attrition that is 162 games.
  13. tmwiese55
    Sure. But why does a nothing prospect need this long of a leash. I get when you give a Mccutchen or Winker like two months due to their career. But a guy who was never supposed to be good, wasn't supposed to make the team and then proceeds to suck for 5 weeks I don't get what they hope all of a sudden changes. ETA: forgot to mention he spend much of that time batting in the heart of the order Of course, for all we know Ortiz might crash if given more vs RHP ABs but at least he has the potential is "supposed to be good" type of thing going on with him. Same goes for people like Frelick or Chourio in I see the "why" behind it. But for him I just don't get it. IF he's this bad and they seem to dislike Ortiz at 3B you might as well start digging around for a vet 3B via trade now rather than wait until July. Maybe get Travis Shaw back for one more go
  14. tmwiese55
    A's game on MLB Net today. Former Brewers great Abraham Toro batting leadoff and is at .284 with a 789 OPS with a few HRs going into today. Seems to be splitting between 2B and 3B. Who knows how he'll hold up or how he'd have done if given a bunch of games last year for us, but as of now a possible missed contributor.
  15. tmwiese55
    Yea pull the plug on so many starts for Dunn. Give Ortiz a full try at 3B and see how it goes. If he's legit over the next 2 months it could change the calculation on Adames a bit. Of course with what happened with Hader I strongly doubt they trade him in season but if by end of June Turang is still looking good and Ortiz is solid you kind of have to consider a shrew business move to maximize return on Adames. Its just with the good start to the year and weak division its very unlikely they'll be out of the race by the deadline
  16. tmwiese55
    He was a part in all that though. In addition, they turned over the whole bullpen almost every year with guys we've never heard off except Harder (and eventually him too) and still got results. And to the original comment on this, to get the results he still had to be choosing the right guys at a higher rate than almost all managers. Again, this is why he's soundly considered one of the best managers in the game. I also liked his earlier years creativity but the results kept coming
  17. tmwiese55
    No one can get everyone right. His past on this is one of the top top reasons why he's been considered one of the best managers in the game. Top bullpens and top records in close games for years
  18. tmwiese55
    At what point do you start trusting Turang as legit and bat him lead off? Of course we all know as soon as you do is when the regression to the mean will happen
  19. tmwiese55
    Maybe now that they've accepted they're not good. But the lead up to this was not intentional. The owner is in his upper 80s and the Larussa years was his kind of last 'go for it' type thing but seems they've now accepted the team is bad and try to teardown/rebuild. But before they were spending and trying to win with that good year that was mentioned and the year or two after. Just last year they gave Benintendi 75 mil. Somehow Tim Anderson forgot how to play baseball, Jiminez can't stay healthy, Grandall flopped, Giolitto fell apart. A bunch of other things too. If you'd have said 2-3 years ago they'd be in this position no one would've believed you.

    Yea I'd agree on not block, especially since they've lightened up on that at the plate after the overr emphasis when it started. But since he's not blocking leaving the front of the plate open then it seems his hand was clearly in and enough to overturn. But really thats besides the point, of course its a close play but came down to umps in their case the break ended the game in their favor whereas we just had two do the opposite for MKE ETA: I see the other angle now with his hand in the air, yea that makes it a toss up. That angle wasn't there when I posted last night
  21. tmwiese55
    Just saw the Cubs play to end the game. After the calls against MKE the last few days to potentially change outcomes of games they get the complete opposite in their favor. I've only seen one angle but sure looked clearly safe to me, even before factoring in the catcher sitting on the plate.
  22. tmwiese55
    Yea, if he does well in AAA needing a call back you can base it around a time when there is off days to give the other guys rest. Or even something like right before the ASB. Or if the team falls way off and they're out of it then it doesn't really matter. But hopefully he does well enough in AAA that they'd want him back earlier than ASB or possible late season 'out of it' time.
  23. tmwiese55
    Yea pretty much. Tough to see how its sustainable with the staff and the offense starting to resort back to the blahness of the last few years. but some benefit of the doubt has to be given with what they've done with pitching over the last several years. And if Hoskins is solid, Adames is better than last two years, and Turang continues being solid (All star level probably not sustainable) it does improve the O from previous years. May is an easier schedule on paper, so if you ca keep it going another few weeks and get an above .500 month next thing you know you're 1/3 of the way through and it will be tough not to at least be in the playoff chase at the end. Which is really all we could hope for going into the year.
  24. tmwiese55
    Wait, is this the same crew for the Yankees series? I'd have thought new crew each series
  25. tmwiese55
    Caught up on some of the vids. I'd guess Peralta did it on purpose too but it was all done the 'right way' and shouldn't be a throwout. And if it is now that way, I look forward to actually being called against the Cardinals but I doubt it will and the 6-10 times per year we all know it and it gets looked the other way. Peralta handled the interview well and really did seem innocent in his talk but 3-0 count with the big lead why are you even setting up inside. Just chuck it down the middle.
