    Seems like an obvious choice to decline the option. Partially because he is unlikely to make that much in arbitration and also because it will stick him on a contract we can ultimately cancel depending on how the off season goes. Of course they could just do neither and say good bye too.

    Ain’t no classic if the Rays don’t win, especially if it doesn’t go seven games either.

    Vanden Boom would certainly be the next man up...after that I would presume Groshek since he at least has a lot of experience with the offensive etc. The only other QB on the roster is a freshman, so I doubt they would put him in this early. He is an absolute tank at 6’8” though.

    Yah, he has been good and made some great accurate throws...but Illinois has been absolutely terrible and they haven’t challenged him at all. I think Mertz is worth all the hype and think he will live up to expectations...even this year, but let’s see him face a defense that will actually challenge him a bit more.

    But will they try and connect the Nationals 9% increase in value to winning a World Series. Thus making it an example of why we should spend more?

    LOL! Yeah, if Healy never plays another game for the Brewers - I think it's safe to say that in a few years we all are going to look back at that Game 2 boxscore with his name listed 5th in the batting order and immediately think that it has to be some kind of a misprint. Followed by a lot of "Who's" and "How is that even possible?" Yuni B started 5 games as the #4 hitter in 2013.

    Even garbage teams with no direction are rarely trading TOR type arms with crazy amounts of control. Both guys have already shown big results and both arguably have even more potential they could unlock. It won't happen, for good reason. I don't see the point of trading Hiura. We need offense more than anything. After his 2020 season I am guessing teams won't be backing up dump trucks to get him. Trading Hiura for prospects seems like a strange plan.

    It was courtesy to even write about Rosenthal and JJ.

    I know there has to be some bad divisions in history, but wow, six teams in football have as many wins as that entire division combined.

    Brewers can still do that, unless the contract they signed with Gamel that included that option says differently. Eric Thames had such a provision in his contract, he was at 4 years service time when the option was declined last year, or would've been at 5 if he had been kept on, but Brewers couldn't have offered him arbitration. If I remember right, when they signed Thames, he had something in his contract that specifically said the Brewers wouldn't be able to offer him arby if his option wasn't executed. I believe that if they do not execute Gamel's option, they could offer him arby. If MLBtraderumors is accurate, then that may be the way the Brewers go. I believe Thames contract was similar to a Japanese player and the reason that clause existed was mostly so he could hit FA after the contract was over. The way it was set up I think we could have controlled him at least another year (maybe two) even had we picked up all the options. Thames didn't want to be controlled 6 years. I actually thought (at least at one point) such clauses in the contract didn't actually exist because they weren't technically allowed. I thought it was just a gentlemen's agreement between the two parties that arbitration wouldn't be offered.

    Oddly this is such a Wisconsin sports team thing...at least it always feels that way. Very often they lose to the eventual winner.
  12. MrTPlush
    Me to. If that was giving up then that was a late hit. That was my thought too. Cheap hit regardless and just dumb. It’s basically sacking a guy cause you are mad he is scoring a TD
  13. MrTPlush
    Maybe that story line will get to happen in a different year. Can you imagine that next year and the Astros travel to LA? Oh man...what a heated series, would have been a bit lame in this COVID year.
  14. MrTPlush
    Past the cheating I want the Astros to lose because the last thing I want to see is a sub .500 team win it all. Not only that, but the first opportunity one has in the expanded format. What a terrible start to a possible future. Of course the Astros are probably better than they showed in 60 games and likely wouldn’t have been sub .500 in a regular season. HOWEVER, them winning tonight would give the Dodgers (potentially) one sweet opportunity at revenge.

    Please....please don't bring him up ever again. I will keep that promise if and only if the Brewers stop signing the likes of Smoak/Healy/Sogard in replace of Aguilar/Thames/Perez Okay...I might as well buy a Ken Macha Jersey then. Be right back for the next Macha story.

    I have already avoided going to a baby shower and I forced the other half not to go to someone's bridal shower because the family hosting it is the exact kind of people doing reckless things weekly not following safety guidelines. Of course that wedding is slowly approaching at the start of December. Hopefully they are forced to call it off because they are way too careless and dumb to voluntarily do it. I have already told me other half I am not going to it...complete insanity in my opinion. I don't think I can get her to not go though.

    Pretty Sure JuJu was there the last year of LeVeon and had a pretty respectable rookie season. I remember grabbing him off waivers and he was pretty big down the stretch for me in a number of games. There are plenty of targets to go around, but it isn't like the Chiefs by any stretch. If he is actually any good he will rise above the filler WRs they have outside of him and JuJu.
  19. MrTPlush
    It shouldn't be hard to replace 36 year old Braun. He has that veteran experience, but honestly he wasn't that good last year. Compared to this year he is essentially going to get replaced by Lorenzo Cain in the OF. I would say it isn't hard to find decent OFers, but Stearns paid Garcia $10mil on a multi year deal so the man in charge can still mess it up. Gotta be smarter than that as a small market if we are throwing money at corner OFers in FA.

    Yah, unfortunately those two guys are going to be inconsistent and lead to some aggravating weeks. I have had a pretty rough go with running backs this year. I lost Barkley and now I have lost Chubb. Despite only 10 teams people hoard RBs like it is going out of style. I somehow got blessed with getting Devonta Freeman this week on waivers despite having the #10 waiver. I had to go with McKinnion last week and he gave me a garbage 1.5 points. Of course I am sure my RB nightmares aren't over yet because now I have Freeman (on a trash team with his bye week still ahead) and James Conner (built like glass) as my two guys.

    First, Braun would actually have to care about such a thing. Braun does not give off the vibe of someone who wants to come back for 3 days to have some farewell tour. Maybe if the team begged him to do it he would consider it, but I can't see there being a ton of motivation to do it. If Braun is done, he is done. He is going to watch the sun set on the pacific from his Malibu mansion as he watches his super model wife play with his kids in the pool. Exactly as you would expect any California born athlete to do after a roller coaster 14 year career.

    He hit the walk-off on opening day then got booted off the MLB squad, after that he didn't get put back on the roster till mid May. We were then kind enough to trade him away immediately after hitting that pinch hit grand slam. It was not off Arrieta...Arietta was pulled for Luis Garcia after he loaded the bases on catchers interference/walk/hit by pitch. Choi wasn't really all that good in the grand scheme for us. He had the two big hits, but that pretty much summed up his entire production with us. Before the grand slam he had an OPS of .637. He had to be traded so we wouldn't lose him for nothing and getting Brad Miller was actually a sweet get for our situation. Unfortunately, Miller wasn't that useful for us. On another note, wow, poor Kershaw. Crazy to think he could be one of baseballs all time legends if not for his (and his teams) inability to perform when it matters. Despite being on the modern day Yankees when it comes to money he hasn’t won a ring in 9 visits to the postseason and is on the brink of #10.

    the brewers hold an option for $2.55 mm with gamel. I swear I have heard of teams declining options and still tendering contracts...but maybe I am thinking of a different situation in a different sport.
  24. MrTPlush
    Maybe Grisham will be available. Maybe they would be dumb enough to trade us Grisham/Davies as a package deal...we could use the reliable mid-rotation arm instead of back end filler like Eric Lauer.
  25. MrTPlush
    I am going out on a limb that not only does Braun probably not care heavily about playing next year, but he has zero interest doing so for a team that isn't the Brewers. In what would 100% be his last year (from the way he talked this year) why would he want to go learn a new clubhouse, something he has never done? I doubt he would have any interest with any potential drama moving teams either due to his history. He is playing for the Brewers or retiring.
