    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.
  2. 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

    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
  4. 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
  5. 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

    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
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. tmwiese55
    Wait, is this the same crew for the Yankees series? I'd have thought new crew each series
  12. 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.
  13. tmwiese55
    What's the take on here regarding the initial throwing out of Peralta? That hasn't been all over twitter like the fight. Wasn't watching since the had a good lead and bucks game
  14. tmwiese55
    Yea just one day prior Bauers was 3/5 with a 3 run HR, and his start before was a 2/5. Not like I'd be surprised or upset if he was out, it does make some sense with the position overlap with Black, but I'd guess its one of the other guys. It'll be interesting where they find ABs for Black though.
  15. tmwiese55
    I used Brooks Kieschnick in the OF spot. Good pull on Marco Estrada, generally forgot about him. Fairly recent player who was pretty solid for several years.
  16. tmwiese55
    I'd guess its Dunn or Miller but we'll see. I think I mentioned it in a game thread so some might not have seen, but I looked it up and as of like 4 days ago Black had only played one game at 3B so far this year. So taking a bunch of starts at 3B in MLB seems unlikely if they haven't been prepping him for it. But we'll see
  17. tmwiese55
    I of course don't know the specific rules here. But there's no way this is how it should be even if they end up getting right by the letter of the law
  18. tmwiese55
    I'd guess the best spot for him is AAA for a month or so. However, there is no one else better than him and Weimer needs to be down long before him. So, chances are even when Yeli is back and if Perkins keeps hitting Chourio will be up all year. Which is fine, he's obviously not doing great but he's not completely overwhelmed either. Not sure I get the Weimer/Urias comp at all. First position etc, but remember Urias was actually legit good for a year before falling off. Just not a lot line up in the comparison at all.
  19. tmwiese55
    For folks who like to dislike the Brewers announcers, especially the 'analyst' types like Rock and Dillard (I'm with those that he tries too hard on the comedy, but overall he's fine) you should throw on MLB network and listen to the Detroit game today. The play by play guy is good and sounds very familiar probably from national stuff, but the 'analyst' can barely function and is tough to listen to. I think its Kirk Gibson but could be wrong and I assume most can be chalked up to getting old but it once again reminds that even as we get sick of our guys they're generally well above par for the rest of the league.

    IMO, its not about teams having a moral highground. We've seen for years teams overlook stuff like this over and over if it helps them win. The Brewers employed K-Rod for years and almost no one gave a crap. We just played Aroldis Chapman today, who's been acquired over and over by contending teams. No one cared or is talking about Marcell Ozuna being on one of the best teams right now and playing great. Countless examples in all sports, massive double standard going on for him. So IMO, its all about media scrutiny. This one is on the radar that it becomes headline news and a bunch of BS to deal with for the team, thats why he's being blackballed imo. Queto would've been a good vet to give a crack, has still been able to have some good stretches as he's aged. Too late now I guess.
  21. tmwiese55
    Also just looked and so far Black has only played one game at 3B in the minors this year. So maybe they've decided he can't hack it there. Its the spot most open or likely where a call up could be needed so its a bit surprising he's not getting work in at it.
  22. tmwiese55
    Pitching staff in shambles, give up 4 runs and 2 runs. feels like its been like this forever now, not surprising that hot O start hasn't been sustainable. Positive though is Turang keeps on going, so possibly have added one competent hitter to the lineup.
  23. tmwiese55
    I'd generally agree its bs he's being blackballed over this considering all that's come out about it being a setup, especially considering the other people allowed to play and no one bats an eye. But, the team/owner who does knows they'd have a mess of a media situation to deal with so I get why its not been done. And I don't think its out of any moral principle by most of the owners, its just about media bs to deal with. I don't really have much of an opinion on him personally or anything.. I'd also be curious if he has a legal case against mlb for blackballing like Bonds sued for too If it were to be done I'd think a team off the radar, little media attention would be the one to try it. MKE could apply to that description but I'd probably add in for it to be a non competitive team in order to have less media attention. Really Oakland would be the one most able to do it. Owner is hated already, no fans there, no attention. Get the story burned out there and maybe trade at deadline. MIA in their situation this year too but its a bit of a bigger market. KC/PIT eventually if they fall off like they should.
  24. tmwiese55
    Yea I thought that's what this whole thread started about involving the market based pricing or whatever they call it. And regardless, well just use stubhub then if its lower there. I'd say post covid I'm 50% on buying from team or stubhub based on wherever I get the better deal for what I want. In addition, the stubhub app and UI is drastically better than MLBs
  25. tmwiese55
    I also generally agree with Snappers above that the gameday environment has gotten a bit stale. For a supposed eating state like WI the food is not great. We're supposed to be famous for Brats but miller park does a terrible job at it, whereas other stadiums highlight their local foods well. The poor offense the last chunk of years has made games boring. And as he said, the novelty has worn off since they've been for 15 years now. Imo all those things has led to the cost being better imo than it was say in the 2011/12 glory days, or even the 2018 great team. I've been a regular since 2010ish and past 20 game holder. To me, the just buying a ticket a day or two before the last few years has had me thinking things are way more affordable now than back then. I sat 2nd row behind home plate for $27 last year. The Sept game where Canha hit that late GW homer last year I was 2nd row road dugout for like $60. So to me this complaint came as a surprise. The one thing that has stood out as different is parking pricing. They've jacked the F out of that.
