    Was just about to say if our two best hitters just put the bat on their shoulder they likely have bases loaded 1 out. But then that last call happened and you never know. Yelichs though were so far in the dirt CB wouldn't have mattered

    Rowdy has been fine since he's been back. But i'd have stuck with Turang there since it's still L/R. Really reduces the DP and he seems to be adequate at making contact which is all you needed there. Of course Rowdy just hitting a fly ball to right shouldn't have been hard either which is probably what CC was thinking. Basically, he fatty this is the time to go for the HR if you get it great if not its a R, just don't rollover for a DP.

    quite the difference for how things look right vs mid day Sunday with MKE winning and the Cubs losing at the time. Yea bottom line this offense while better is still just the definition of mediocre/blah. Hopefully they find a way today. But its kinda nuts this has been going on for 4 years without really much improvement on O

    I was at his start in Appleton last week and it was also not good at all. I wasn't behind the plate to see super closely and it's not like I was closely tracking velocity or anything, but the results were not good. Hard hit balls, walks. Not want you want vs single A

    I recall in the Cubs series there was some talk on the surprising lines making us dogs in them. Well today is one that works the other way around, I expected this to be one of those "on paper" they should lose games that I think they win. Turns out on paper they actually have MKE as slight favorite, basically a coinflip. Both good pitchers, theirs a bit more consistent/reliable/history etc, Philly on fire right now. However, when I checked that I did forget the game was in MKE, thought it was on road. That's probably the 'evening' out factor in it.

    Expected OPS for the alternatives would be what, somewhere in the .650 range for the rest of the year? That shouldn't be hard to beat to be an improvement. And from all I've read it seems his D has still checked out just fine. And vs lefties where it seems he'd likely take Turang's spot Turang as far as I can tell has a .501 OPS vs lefties. As long as he's not a jerk in AAA and looks ok in a few games down there I don't know how he's not an improvement.

    Have to say a video showing a bunch of swing and misses or strikes in general to mock a player is one of the dumbest things I've seen. A hitter in MLB is defined by failing at least 60% of time, and even within the 40% (less for most) it is very likely to have a strike or two against you in those ABs. I could make a similar video for basically every player in the league. Could also make a video showing all the misses/bricks Lebron has shot and act like he sucks.

    Its good too that it seems he's fine going to AAA and getting ABs in. Keeps him away from the team to see how he acts. But also, don't have to run the 'spring training' type ABs at the MLB level when in a tight race. If he sucks in his first week in AAA and looks lost there's no reason you have to bring him up. If he doesn't like it, just cut him. If he looks generally fine and is playing nice with others, he just can't be worse than Anderson.

    CBS has Reah listed for Saturday FWIW. Who knows if they're just guessing but its likely they're basing off something of substance, but with two days things can change.

    The stable mediocrity of Jace Peterson's LHB would come in handy right now
  11. tmwiese55
    I guess it depends if what's stated in the article is accurate on not being eligible due to the 60 day IL. If that goes away once on a new team and you have the whole month to test him out is different to me than coming back with like 15 games left. Especially when the main thing you'd want him for is to play vs lefties, maybe 4 of the last 15 should be vs lefties. Side note, getting one more of those Cubs games to have a 5 game lead really would've been nice on this topic too. Would just feel like more wiggle room to 'experiment' in such a situation.
  12. tmwiese55
    In the previous discussion on this I didn't know he was still on DL and not even eligible to come off until mid-september. Just doesn't seem worth at all then. As said in the article, its not clear if he'd even be ready at that point and even if so that's barely any games to find out if you can trust him in the playoffs. Hopefully they can find another way to help the IF somehow. Black seems like the only other move though
  13. tmwiese55
    Who would've thought Jordan Lyles would've been so huge for us a few years ago. Of course these guys could flop but they could also catch a hot streak at the right time, get helped by new coaches, just get refocused on a good team/better environment, etc. Lyles would be another one that owes MKE a cut of his pay
  14. tmwiese55
    Thing is they do have a gaping hole at 3B. Seems like they rode the hot streak for Monestario as they should have, and its great he's helped out so much. But chances are he's going to be way under par over the next few month as regression hits. I like that some posters think Black can be the answer, at least vs lefties and hopefully that works. But not sure what options will be out there other than him or Donaldson who have a realistic chance to be good come playoff time. With the real trade deadline these days there really aren't many possible moves left. I know Donaldson has sucked this year and mostly last too. But he's also been hurt, give him two weeks of ABs and see if can be his old self for 6 weeks. Maybe he can be our Rafael Furcal the Cards pulled outa their behind in 2011. But, if their internal info is straight up to just not deal with his personality I'm cool with that too. I'd view this as a pure "hey, literally can't be worse than Anderson, hope you get lucky" type thing so its not like I'm gonna blame anyone or get worked up about it.
  15. tmwiese55
    Yea I get the point and all but he's not the first crafty lefty to be able to do this over the years. Can turn around look right at Miley too.
  16. tmwiese55
    Really wouldn't surprise me at all if the Brewers could fix Gialito into a good bullpen piece to finish the year. Won't happen, but him falling to MKE and how good they are at this type of thing would probably be the best thing for his career. Drew Pomeranz should be giving the Brewers an agent's cut every year. And if they got him, helped him, creating a good relationship maybe could be a good cheap one year 'prove it' deal for us next year to replace some likely lost depth people such as Lauer, Houser, etc or others who might be gone.
  17. tmwiese55
    Nitpick on the As. They just won at a 97 pace for three years in a row, then 86 one year with crap payrolls. The last two years have been intentional losing to move. I guess its still fair to say 'franchise' though as the messed up situation leading to moving is the franchise's overall fault. But baseball ops can still win if they want, so a bit of semantics but just giving the baseball side of it some recognition. They're not bumbling idiots (though our trade with them is a red flag) in terms of baseball, its everything else.
  18. tmwiese55
    Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but I think if he goes down for a bit they likely gain another year of control. I'm sure an expert will clarify. But, really it would be best for him to go down and play everyday and have them work with him on the flaws that have been discovered in his swing. With Taylor playing well and also perfectly good at D there just isn't much PT for him. Get a couple weeks of ABs in to hopefully get into a better spot to finish the season/playoffs.
  19. tmwiese55
    Thing to note is he's being paid 21 mil. I'm not sure on the timing of things right now and if he's still on waivers where you'd work out a trade with NYY. But if so that price would be several mil more than Anderson (if they did a swap). If he's cleared waivers already and is league min, then yea what do you have to lose swapping him for Anderson. Unless they view his personality as bad enough to stay away
  20. tmwiese55
    I thought that for tonight when I saw it. Usually the SPs factor so much into it and MKE having the clearly better one tonight you'd have thought it would be the other way around in spite of being on the road. Also, the top A team bullpen guys for MKE didn't pitch yesterday
  21. tmwiese55
    Very few off days left so it'll be surprising if one slot isn't used on a P and possibly used as an up and down spot as needed for pitchers. Everything noted by Nate above leads me to think someone like Hiura/Winker don't make sense. Essentially, Winker/Tellez are the same thing except Tellez has been clearly better the last two seasons. If Hiura isn't gonna play why lose him for next year. I'd guess a utility type Miller/Toro would be the remaining spot. Someone who can be used in various late game subs or to cover a day or two of rest/minor injury as needed to someone. That said, the fact Winker hasn't been straight up released seems telling that he's gonna be the guy.
  22. tmwiese55
    I used Keven Mench in that spot. Don't think it was as low as .07. I'll never forget the night they traded for him and he showed up in the dugout midgame and on TV they made it out like it was the second coming of Babe Ruth joining the team, if I remember there was some big talk or deal about the size of his shoes or something too. All the while I hated the trade so it annoyed me even more.
  23. tmwiese55
    It would depend on the medicals. If the doctors say he's physically unable to play (like Prince) then they owe him the money. Otherwise yea he'd have to go through the motions of showing up every year or negotiate a buyout. Sure seems like a Prince situation to me though, but they stupidly didn't insure it.
  24. tmwiese55
    Who knows on the butterfly effect. This might not have happened in the alternate timeline. This was always the tricky part of his contract and paying him like he's two players. He'd already had one TJ surgery (or a major arm one if not TJ) so if another happens will he really be able to do double duty long term. Really sucks for him and baseball in general that he might not be able to do this long term
  25. tmwiese55
    Fair. But to make a general joke on it, then why be on a baseball message board if you're take is that management is always right. I know I took that to the extreme hyperbole side so don't take it is a big attack or anything. Just in general saying, we're here to backseat GM, that's the point of it in a way. And yea, if we were Atlanta or LAD, TX type team just raking then why bother with a gamble on him. But with the trash options they ran out all year it's a very questionable decision with the roster rule quirk being the one thing lingering over it that seems to make sense. However, if I had my guess they just let him go in the offseason and are done with him. Which, I would guess by playing all the guys they chose to give chances over him like Winker/Voigt cost them several runs scored. I wouldn't guarantee it, but I know which side I'd bet. Which would mean they made a mistake, an understandable one and of course no one gets everything right. So not like anyone needs to be fired for it, but there's nothing wrong with acknowledging mistakes.
