    My so called 'instruction" was just also remember stuff they're right about and in general that its a long season so its usually better to take the up and downs in stride. These are far from controversial things or demeaning/attacking type things, and certainly not telling people their opinions are invalid or not to say them. Just trying to give some tips on processing a long season. Its really no different than someone correcting someone else with something like "actually (remember) this person's OPS vs RHP is xyx". You didn't say my opinion was wrong, you said I shouldn't say it though. As you said, you're instructing me on not instructing. It was definitely your intent to exchange comments as you jumped into something not directed at you or confrontational to anyone in in any way and led off with insults and namecalling. Really this all comes down to you overreacted and got defensive because I pointed out the guy was right about a bunch of stuff today which apparently you thought he was wrong about, and have continued to double down. But yea, as you said you're a devoted fan and into it which is obviously a good thing and in common. And hopefully you and everyone can enjoy the season. Hopefully our first place team somehow keeps it up with all the injuries and this ragtag pitching staff and so many replacement level or AAA type hitters they're being forced to play and shuffle through. I know this roster has no shot at a WS but hopefully can be entertained all summer.

    Who are you to tell me that my opinion is wrong, which you did? Essentially you're saying that you can, but I can't. Sorry for taking the massively controversial stance to also remember all the times when the manager is right and oneself is wrong along with all the times he's wrong and you're right while forming an opinion on him. It's ok to be wrong, I am, the manager is, it happens all the time when there isn't 20/20 hindsight.
  3. tmwiese55
    You are doing exactly that with this whole conversation. I didn't instruct anyone with a different view. I pointed out that that a bunch of stuff he was bashed for he ended up being right on and said to try to remember that before freaking out., long long season. That's it, ther'es no "view" there. Not pointed at anyone in particular. You then attack directly at me and insult me while telling me what is appropriate.

    It wouldn't even be paying the service time game. He's clearly not ready for MLB right now. Still, it could be the best way to 'develop' him and it pays off later, as we've seen it work out with others. Or 2months down there then up might have been best. Still, with all the injuries he probably wouldn't have been able to stay down long so its probably close to wash

    Quality response. So I can't express my opinion that overreacting game by game is a bad way to follow a baseball team over 162 games? 3 weeks ago, the manager was a moron for playing Bauers. Now he's a moron for sitting Bauers. He's a moron for playing/sitting all these guys today and he turned out correct over the armchairing done in this one. But sure, continue to bash him for stuff and then when he turns out correct say nothing like happened here. Wait for those great hindsight 20/20 times. Or being baseball fans for years we could just chill and know 'baseball' happens. People have sit out games, random jabronis have good games and hits at certain times, good players have crap games, go with the ups and downs, crap happens. In addition, I literally no where said to compliment every decision.
  6. tmwiese55
    So a day of and the early part of this thread dedicated to the manager being the biggest moron ever for playing these guys and here we are so far with Monasterie 1/2 and a walk, Miller 1/2, Perkins 2/2 and a walk. Probably just a reminder to chill on the negativity, baseball season is a long one so have to try to temper game by game overreactions On a joking side, I'd guess there is only like 3 good managers in the world based on the standards here haha
  7. tmwiese55
    That was a debate?
  8. tmwiese55
    Really don't get why you'd want or that its allowed to make your field mud on purpose.
  9. tmwiese55
    I think they said on TV they scored more runs off him today than they had vs him the rest of his career. Pretty sure one his no hitters was MKE. Another surprising thing is they said he's never pitched in Milwaukee. Of course he's almost always been in the AL but in 20 years still kind of surprising (although probably not all that much if you do the math on it)
  10. tmwiese55
    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.
  11. tmwiese55
    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
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. tmwiese55
    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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. tmwiese55
    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.
  22. 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%.
  23. 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.
  25. 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.
