    Why would we not want Berry on the field directing baserunners?

    '24 is a weird year. Murphy is going to be dirt cheap and require very little investment in terms of years. If he seems good, GREAT! If not, just can the dude and look for a manager at the beginning of FA and not a few weeks into it after Counsell is done clowning around. As I said before the other thread got closed, who isn't going to be available next offseason, that we could have signed this offseason?

    I’m not shocked they are giving it to him, to be honest. He may very well end up a placeholder if 2024 is the 90+ loss spiral it could be. He is by far the easiest guy to hire and then can in a year. Cheap too, I am sure. We came in late to the manager FA party and any of the ones that remained had their sights set on other teams already. Probably should be happy we didn’t hire an old retread guy just to get someone notable. What is there to lose? The other options weren’t exactly great and most of them will be available next offseason anyway. Maybe he is good, maybe not. Just can him if he is.

    Get Rickie Weeks to rub his OBP skills on the guys...just don't let his defensive gene rub off on them.

    The division is weak, so yah, it isn't impossible to compete next year. Maybe the Cubs try to spend a bunch and have the best team on paper by a mile...but that doesn't assure them anything. Not saying they can't, but banking on the postseason being a decent scenario...is a pretty generous and optimistic outlook. I don't think assuming that wouldn't happen is some kind of terrible opinion on my part. I think 75%+ of Brewers fans would say we have little to no shot. I am optimistic we can have an offense that isn't completely embarrassing, but that rotation needs some serious TLC. Losing Woodruff, Burnes, and even Miley is quite crippling.

    Do you know what a strawman argument is? I didn't distort Reilly's view at all. His last sentence is that he expects '24 to be a rough year...so he doesn't expect us to be competing. Which is a pretty understandable outlook if we trade Williams/Burnes/Adames like his post assumed. He didn't really elaborate his expectations past that...so hard to distort that. I am sure the team will go out there and try to win games in '24...but I don't think that means we wouldn't lose potentially 90+ in that scenario. Even the loss of Woodruff is getting a bit underrated. He was injured a lot last year, but he still pitched 33% of his starts, went 5-1, and had 2.4 WAR. That is going to get replaced with someone much worse. Could they pull of a 2017 type of turnaround in 2025? Potentially, going to be done a little different though. That team hit on a lot of MLB players (Shaw/Pina/Anderson) to help turn that around. This one is likely going to end up dependent on prospects heavily. Likely much more than the 2017 team did. The downside, you would burn half of Peralta's control at minimum to find out how that 2025 team shapes up.

    I’m not a huge Love fan, but I thought it was a decent game for him. The first INT was a poor decision, but unlucky for it to end up picked off. He then got them into a chance to win it on a minute drive. The second INT is whatever….at least he threw the ball somewhere a guy may luck out and catch it.
  8. MrTPlush
    My thought when Jones caught it was “can he get out of bounds”…I’m guessing Jones thought he wouldn’t make it. of course there was no replay, so not sure how close that would have been
  9. MrTPlush
    Dude is a pro at choke jobs to lose games. A bit unlucky there though to be honest.
  10. MrTPlush
    Guessing someone upstairs told them how bad that was.
  11. MrTPlush
    Even if he catches that, two guys blocked the same dude and left one unblocked. Probably doesn’t go much of anywhere.
  12. MrTPlush
    Nice to see Love throw some of those short simple throws accurately. Has really struggled to actually get those on target and allow the receiver to advance them.
  13. MrTPlush
    I can see how they wouldn’t overturn it until that overhead camera angle. That seemed like a good look at it and made it look pretty clearly backwards.
  14. MrTPlush
    Pretty nice drive by Love.
  15. MrTPlush
    Mattingly is a proven winner, in what way? He managed the Dodgers and mustered the postseason 3/5 years…never winning more than 94 games. He advanced to the NLCS once. He didn’t even make the postseason until the Dodgers starting running the #1 payroll in baseball.
  16. MrTPlush
    Wait...not even a teams Top 10 player...? That is just, a terrible take. Josh Hader is a perfect comp for Devin Williams and he managed to get us two top 10 prospects. Burnes is undeniably just as valuable trade value wise. As much as Adames is overrated by Brewers fans even he, I think, is worth a pretty decent prospect in a teams Top 10. Now are we going to get a boatload of Top 100 prospects and blue chippers in the Top 30? Well, there you would have an argument. We probably aren't flipping them all for guys in AAA that are ready to make a big impact and are can't-miss. You probably hope for a few to become something, and they probably don't do it overnight.
  17. MrTPlush
    It’s like you decided to not read my posts and felt the need to be condescending. Cool
  18. MrTPlush
    Similar situation (some good trade chips), but we got stupid lucky when we traded the likes of Gomez/Lucroy/etc. Either got major contributors or flipped them for something good (Yelich) It could happen again…but it is quite likely we trade those guys and it ends up like when we acquire players shipping back prospects…the prospects are useless garbage. Could happen…but wow, that would be winning the lottery twice in a row.
  19. MrTPlush
    Is Peralta really a part of the future? If you are punting 2024, that is 33% of his remaining control. If you are really optimistic 2025 is maybe .500ish…that is 66% of his control. So you are holding onto him for 2 years to hope you can ride him to FA trying to compete in 2026? Brewers should sell high on him, but I doubt they do because then this off-season will look like a total fire sale. Peralta and Contreras are probably safe for that reason barring a trade offer out of this world. Im not sure Woodruff cares about a teams ability to compete. He just wants to get back and showcase for a FA contract. A lot of people expect Adames to get traded, I’m not so sure. Seems like a guy to keep around unless someone overvalues him. If no one does, pray he puts together a huge first half to be the crown jewel of the trade deadline. If not we can probably still get a draft pick for him.

    A’s are so dumb it is hard to comprehend sometimes. Nothing about that trade will ever make sense.
  21. MrTPlush
    Is there any data that shows when teams aren't trying to compete? Because I don't know if such data exists. This isn't the NBA, I don't usually see teams trying to throw games. Even the sadder years of Brewers baseball since 2007, I never felt like the guys were out there trying to lose and not caring.
  22. MrTPlush
    Well, Bellinger is 27 years old...so I would sign Bellinger over Yelich easily. Assuming I was interested in either of them...I have seen Bellinger predicted around 100-150mil. Not sure how many years, but I assume the inference was 5 years. If we could unload $100mil of his salary, I would probably do it. Past that, I don't know there is much value in trading him. If he hits well in 2024, I think his market grows way bigger as he would appear a lot less risky of an add.
  23. MrTPlush
    Yelich had a nice year, but I can't imagine there are many teams out there that would be dumb enough to chance it and trade for him. If Yelich was on the market this winter, what would he honestly get? I can't imagine $100mil going on 32. He should borderline not even be playing the OF. I don't know a great recent comp off the top of my head, but something like 5/$80mil seems plausibly accurate for what he would get. Maybe that is too much even, I don't know. Feel free to correct me if you have a good comp for him. $22mil a season seems pretty steep though.
  24. MrTPlush
    Love probably has tried. His punches were probably just 15 yards short of hitting the mark though.
  25. MrTPlush
    Is David Ross not an option? Like forget the rivalry part of it and the irony...he seems like a good manager, no?
