    Its the same for both teams so really not much to complain about or anything. But I do find it dumb for new stadiums to intentionally build in gimmicks like this. The old ones that have quirks like this were (I assume) because of fitting things into a an existing downtown area and having limited space. Your Fenways stuff, Wrigley being short in LF, and some others. I don't' get why you'd intentionally recreate it. Sidenote years ago a friend who's knowledgeable of sports (baseball being his least) but not a sports nerd like most on this site made a good point/question I'd never though of before. For a sport obsessed with stats, records, etc its weird they never made a standardized field size to make it all 'even' so to speak. Pretty much every sport/game has a standardize field/court size and dimensions.

    No hitter through 6, still hitting 100 in the 6th. With how they've been protecting him I doubt he comes back out since getting 3 more innings would push it so much. Also, the walk he had could've easily been a strikeout the pitch before, technically a strike but right on the line so could go either way
  3. tmwiese55
    They had some stat up in the last 162 games between them the record is like 120-42. Don't remember exact, but something in that ballpark
  4. tmwiese55
    Yea he had his good start which helped the team, plays good D. Seems like a fine depth guy and won't kill you when he inevitably is needed to come back up due to injury. It was just too much leaving him on the strong side of the platoon when a good prospect at the same position has been doing better. That said, at least they pulled the plug now rather than wait another few weeks like they've done with others in recent years. Probably went on a week or two longer than needed but still, mid-May isn't drastically long and he was good the first week or so. I'd guess his focus in AAA should be hitting/driving the ball more as opposed to milking walks. Sure it could hurt his numbers down there but he has to clean up staring at 3rd strikes hoping to get walked.

    Right its technically the correct move long term. Especially considering the juggernauts of LAD, ATL, Phi but its tough to do if you're leading the division and he's still playing well overall. Think you'd be irresponsible not to at least listen to offers, but you don't have to force it and take the best you can get even if you're not happy with the return. So to me it all depends on what you can get back., don't have to force the move. Even tougher after the Hader trade that caused issues. But, look at Gasser so far as the return on that. Sure its only 2 starts so who knows but you're getting 6-7 years of him vs the 1.5 of Hader that was left.
  6. tmwiese55
    Yup obviously that's worse. But its OAK so it doesn't surprise me, and he wasn't with them to begin with.. To me its shocking for ATL to miss since they're normally so smart. But even still when they miss its not like the move didn't work for them as Murphy is also good. It's just surprising ATL didn't realize what they had considering how smart they normally are.
  7. tmwiese55
    I'm still dumbfounded Atl traded Contreras. Such a smart organization, but I guess they can't get them all right. But even still its not like their current C is bad or anything or the trade didn't 'work' from their end since he has been good too. But younger cheaper, controlled longer all in Contreras favor. Think if they had him to go with the core going forward rather than a C entering his 30s
  8. tmwiese55
    Well I think the idea is that he's projected to be as he ages and fills out, not necessarily that he has been in his age 18/19 minor league seasons when he's like 4 years younger than everyone else.. Size, build, swing, bat speed etc he's supposed to hit HRs dwon the line if his superstar projection is true
  9. tmwiese55
    Had some SF on the other day and noticed the demanded Matt Chapman and how he's been doing. 210/258 with a 606 OPS and 5 HRs. He's basically hitting like Oliver Dunn for like 20 mil per year. Good thing Mark A is so cheap.
  10. tmwiese55
    And for him it seemed he was the opposite of that coming up and the flashes last year. Basically that he was gonna try to be an old school spray the ball type of guy but not hit tons of HRs. Just hit solid line drives everywhere, use your speed. Maybe down the line if you fill out and get comfortable more power would come. I'm not expert enough to see if anything drastic has changed on his swing to chase launch angle (unlike how it was obvious with Keston) but if they have they need to just get back to basics that got him to MLB.
  11. tmwiese55
    Yup the whole logjam discussion was overblown. But I don't think they can really do it now with the other injuries and Frelick being just as bad, but it should be on the radar for both of them down the line if things don't improve. Really probably should have held onto Taylor for another year, especially being a RH with Yeli, Frelick, Mitchell all being lefty. Stable competent bat, good at D and still cheap. No harm in digging around now for a one year fill in trade to finish the year either, whoever that might be. Oddly a Taylor type guy should be someone the target, no need to spend real capital on getting a higher level person than that with the holes in this team and the gap between them and ATL, LAD, PHI.

    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.
  13. tmwiese55
    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%.
  14. tmwiese55
    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.
  16. tmwiese55
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. tmwiese55
    yea I'd agree on this one. Made me double check if there's an off day tomorrow and there is not.
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. 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.
