    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.

    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

    Contreras hit one absolute rocket for an out to left center. Don't recall his others off top my head

    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.
  5. 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

    nah you're a sucker cuz you don't demand more. True fans actually hate their team

    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.

    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.
  9. 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.
  10. tmwiese55
    Yea I think it would be 3 starts to get them through the ASB. They hope to get 4-6 mediocre innings rather than full bullpen days. He gets a shot to do well and earn a spot here or elsewhere to finish the year. If he does crappy like game 1 was, welp that's it. Add that to the 40 man discussion someone pointed out yesterday and you have a stopgap solution

    They are doing the Cardinals model, which recently won two WS. What's being missed here is a fundamental misunderstanding of baseball playoffs and how fluky they are. Essentially, if we sunk our teeth in the last 2-3 years with those ace pitchers we would've moved our WS chances from the like 10% chance they had up to like 12% (random numbers for examples) while turning their chances now and over the next several years to 0 because they wouldn't be making the playoffs.

    The management that came in 8-9ish years ago have actually said the exact opposite of that is their plan. But let's not let that get in the way of some negativity as 'fans' of a first place team.
  13. tmwiese55
    Yup, if Ortiz needs a few days here's a chance to give him a spot start or two there. And it sure seems they won't do it, so it seems we can rule out any legit 3B time as an option for him. Guess we'll probably know for sure in a few days
  14. tmwiese55
    Awful AB by Contreras. Forced swings on all when he knew they probably didn't really mind walking him
  15. tmwiese55
    Not sure why they're pushing him this long. BP rested from yesterday, off day tomorrow. We've all been saying to grab an innings eater blah guy for a few weeks, he is one of those so its whatever and I'm fine with giving him another go after setting into the team. Just needs to keep the ball down. But today is one of the better days of late to not have to force someone in there due to the rested pen and off day
  16. tmwiese55
    Cardinals down 4-0 in first of a doubleheader too. Things go right today they're back to I think a 7 game lead again
  17. tmwiese55
    missed strike 3 call to Adames leads to 4 runs.
  18. tmwiese55
    I'd probably move on from this topic. If you don't want to have rich athletes who sleep around and/or don't frequently cheat on their wives then you're likely not going to be able to field a team.
  19. tmwiese55
    I wrote this guy off a few years ago. But not giving up prospects and hoping to get lucky its fine, if any pitching management can still get something out of him its MIlwaukee's. Throw in that he's a ground ball guy with the Brewers D and its as good of a last chance he could ask for
  20. tmwiese55
    If it was me on Black playing other spots, I meant emergency so there's another body there to throw out if an injury or weird pinch hit sub situations occur. Based on more knowledgeable people's reviews on his D it sure doesn't seem he can start in those spots or play significantly at them. But some weird stuff happens like last night and if he has to eat an inning in the OF or at 2B type thing, that helps more than having a Rowdy type who literally cannot be put out there anywhere
  21. tmwiese55
    While sure they should talk about it they haven't, if Black is as good a hitter as some here think then the lefty side of 1B is covered too. If Black is as bad at D as mentioned here then Yeli is better at LF. Of course if Black can't hack it then its wide open like 1B seemingly has been for 10 years. Side note, he's down to 4 years left on contract after this one
  22. tmwiese55
    I'd agree Brewers probably would've been darn close to saying yes to 7/166 if it was on the table before trade. I'm sure he expects way way more than that though. That seems a very low estimate right now as he's stayed healthy and performed well in a tougher division. I have a feeling even if general plan for NYM is play it cool for a couple years that the owner will get antsy and make a big offer. I'd put NYY in the less likely group to start based on expecting them to have to pay like 10/500 for Soto, while still having Judge, Stanton, Cole, etc. But if Soto leaves it frees up a lot. Random note, Stanton is down to 3 years left after this year, so its getting close. Could also start to see other teams start pulling the Ohtani deferred route before it gets banned, which would help a team like NYY spend for him and Soto at once

    Yea a lot that could go into this discussion. I'd guess in the short term that injuries sort some of it out along with reminding that at this point no OFs have yet to lay a claim as locked in proven starting caliber hitters. If they're confident in MItchell and want to get him some ABs I'd just swap him and Frelick for a bit. Lets Frelick get tons of low pressure ABs/practice until an inevitable injury happens bringing him back up. See how Mitchell does up here for a few weeks. But mostly was gonna add for Black's long term spot, (I think OP said they didn't see where he fit longer term), I think I'd look at him as directly taking Bauer's spot next year, heck maybe in the next few weeks if they let Bauers go. Get him to be emergency competent at 2B/3B/OF but primarily getting a lot of starts vs RHP at 1B/DH. Seems his spot to step in is kinda clear.
  24. tmwiese55
    It'll be interesting to see who pays up. Kinda sucks for him that LAD blew their load last year, unless of course they don't care and still get involved. Other big spenders like NYY, Bos, Phi, NYM, likely not as free spending as normal right now too. Maybe NYY though would still get involved or Mets owner decides they can't sit idle. Cubs maybe make most sense? Maybe Seattle, SD, or SF
  25. tmwiese55
    Really surprising considering difference in rosters, Phi having such a better record, but most importantly that Phi is almost for sure getting 1st rd bye when MKE is likely not.
