    Adames keeping them in it.

    They did it to themselves though. They tried to get greedy and demand too much. They could have been eating the Big 12 up, instead the Big 12 signed the ESPN deal and turned around to wipe them off the planet.

    I think it is likely both go or neither go. The Alonso rumor is a bit interesting and may hint the odds they return is higher than one would assume. Their values may be low enough that they may just role the dice and QO them after the year. Burnes is probably more likely to get traded. Adames? Might as well bring him back. He isn't that special, I don't think you are going to trick any team into thinking the contrary. Might as well hope he pulls a 2021 to start the season and trick someone into thinking he is the offensive jewel of the 2024 deadline. 2024 seems like a solid year to trade some guys if the offers are pretty good and keep them if it is meh. Don't go around signing big contracts or trading for guys that aren't controllable. Just see how the younger guys do and see if they can create a strong core to build upon. Maybe do what we did pre-2018 and sign a Villar/Shaw to see if we catch lightning in the bottle.

    They may not call it rebuilding, but with Burnes/Woodruff both on the outs here momentarily, they are quite unlikely to be a serious WS contender...heck, they aren't even that now. Counsell probably doesn't want to man a ship that is going to be projected on the outside looking in just to make the postseason...let alone a WS.

    Clicks for the forum, that is the argument for Yelich. Only reason for this article.
  6. MrTPlush
    CC is a perfect manager for the Brewers. However, the mystery around his contract is pretty clear he doesn’t want to manage a rebuild. He has kids and such. Burnes and Woodruff have a year left, if neither returns…he won’t. No one wants a Milwaukee championship outside of fans more than CC…but if it isn’t possible, he has better things to do. It should be interesting to see how that transpired after the season. Something tells me Counsell will leave before Burnes/Woodruff/Off-season ever kicks off. The writing is kind of on the wall already.

    I think you are really underestimating how bad the Cardinals have been and how bad their record is. They are on pace for nearly 100 losses. The chance they pass up three teams to win the division is seriously minuscule…there are only like 3 teams in baseball with a worse record. If the Brewers (or Reds for that matter) played .500 baseball the rest of the year, which is probably pretty realistic, the Cardinals would have to go 56-34 to pass them up. 101 win pace the rest of the year. I’m betting that doesn’t happen.
  8. MrTPlush
    Could I see the Cardinals besting one of those teams? Two of them? Sure The problem is, they would have to outplay 4 teams…two of which are ahead by a very large 8+ game gap. Considering they almost surely aren’t going to notably try to improve their team…I think it is time people stop letting the Cardinals live rent free in their heads 24/7.
  9. MrTPlush
    I wouldn’t be surprised if their contracts were identical year wise. It doesn’t matter either way. They can fire him if it is past 2023 if they wanted to move on.
  10. MrTPlush
    His comments have always hinted at "I won't be around for a rebuild". Well, this team is embarrassing...not winning it this year and the outlook after this year is really pathetic in the short term. Counsell is gone, for sure. I don't think it is that much of a loss and it honestly won't matter for the foreseeable future as we try to rebuild. Matt Arnold should get fired at the end of the year to leave with him.
  11. MrTPlush
    I don't think it really matters. Why would you go with the guy who has 200 innings in his sporadic career over a guy with 1400 innings and before all the injuries was a consistent piece in a MLB rotation? Teheran was never particularly pretty, but he consistently put up a solid ERA. Of course, so far his BB/9 is 1.0....and historically that has been 4.5+...so a massive crash back to earth might be in store. I still would bet on him putting together a decent little run over Rea. You know what you are getting with Rea and it isn't good.
  12. MrTPlush
    Ironically, Teheran is replacing Miley...who once was a saving grace in a similar situation for us half a decade ago. Miley put up a 2.57 ERA in 2018 and even kept up that incredible run of dominance into the postseason. Is Terheran this good? No. Is he even remotely close to this good? No. The thing is though, what he does every other year of his career is meaningless. We just care about what he does for the next 4 months or so.

    "With the 614th pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, the Brewers select...Jimmy Coalwinkle." *10 minutes later* Article: Should the Brewers Extend Jimmy Coalwinkle?" All jokes aside, rumor has it this series ends with Christian Yelich.

    Odorizzi and Lynn - 13 seasons of 150+ innings combined Freddy Peralta - Zero
  15. MrTPlush
    I’m a little tired of the “Omg the NL Central is a joke” and people honestly thinking it is possible or even believing a sub .500 team could win the division. The Brewers are on pace for 88 wins. A team isn’t winning it sub .500. I would say it is likely a team wins it with 88-90 wins. Maybe as little as 86 wins…but I really doubt it. I’d bet on a team winning it with 95+ over sub .500.

    I always thought it was a shame how fans treated him. He went out there and played the game. Despite missing expectations, injuries, and not living up to the extension…he always went out there and put in the work. There always has to be some team punching bag guy and he was it. Seems like it usually ends up the worst defensive player.
  17. MrTPlush
    Construction workers care about fresh squeezed or concentrate? Take the concentrate and just pour extra sugar in...I bet that will have the same effect.
  18. MrTPlush
    There is a way for them to be protected. There are seats down in the dugout if they want to be safe. If millionaires want to risk a freak accident...let them. Might as well place a net in front of the pitcher like in BP at this rate. I don't think every random freak accident needs some solution to make the chances of it happening again 0%. It just isn't feasible or realistic. You would quickly make the game unplayable. It is only a matter of time before someone jumps into the nets down the line and gets hurt in it...what then? Sometimes I think these safety measures provide a false sense of safety. I don't recall a ton of injuries at the brick walls in Chicago...probably because the players aren't idiots and know it won't end well. Yet guys think it is safe to dive headfirst into a padded wall...doesn't end well. Remember when Lorenzo Cain dove headfirst into that chain-link fence as a rookie? Balls are flying really fast...there is going to be some inherent risk and freak accident potential.

    Any mention of the current agreements language on keeping the park up to date or that there are things that do or will need to be fixed in the near future. 🧑🏻‍🦯🧑🏻‍🦯🧑🏻‍🦯🧑🏻‍🦯 Write a political article on a site that tells members to not talk about politics that is really just a rant that provides absolutely zero data on anything being talked about. ✅

    Riding the hot hand is just poor strategy. You are trying to bank on short term past results and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. You are always one step behind and going to chase a carrot you will never catch. When do you consider a guy the hot hand? 2 games? 3 games? Then when you move them up, when do you decide they aren’t hot anymore? 2 games? 3 games? You will probably miss out on a few hot games and then keep them around a few bad games to match. The offense is pretty pathetic, but it’s just grasping at straws. It’s going to make one feel good, but rearranging deck chairs is a short-lived feel good moment.

    Anyone that believes speed enforcement doesn't work to reduce speeds etc. just needs to drive I90 from the Chicago area to the border. The speeds and reckless driving dramatically reduce at the border (or dramatically increase if you are going south). One state actually polices the roads and the other leaves it to be the autobahn.
  22. MrTPlush
    Thankfully Kolton Wong has been useless too. Specifically, Wong has a -1.2 WAR….which is kind of impossible to even wrap your head around.
  23. MrTPlush
    A lot of people will point out his OBP, which is good and all…but there is a reason the scoreboard shows OPS. His slugging is a horrid .270 and causes his OPS to be just .625. Sure, he gets on base, but it is going to take 2+ hits to get the dude in. Even a double is unlikely to get him in from first. That being said, there isn’t a better option. Rearrange deck chairs and put Turang up there…or whoever else. They all suck, that isn’t going to make much difference.

    He was a third baseman and had the arm/athletic ability to be pretty decent over there. He had the power potential to stick there and overall...his tools were pretty good across the board. A left-handed hitter and at 3B....two things we hadn't had success developing for years. So it was pretty exciting. Problem was...none of his skills really excelled to elevate him to MLB quality. I think fans (and even prospect lists) can tend to overrate need-based or hard to get quality production positions. Chad McClanahan was another guy a lot of fans loved to hype up a bit back then. Prospects lists are littered with OFers, pitchers, and SSs these days. It gets kind of boring, so when there is an opportunity to put a 3B or C up high, people jump all over it.
  25. MrTPlush
    Except one we already have the rights to and the other is sitting on a team currently in a postseason spot. Yeah, that probably doesn't last till July...but who knows. They might also expect a return more than reasonable just because McCutchen is a fan favorite and a bag of balls isn't worth trading him away. Might as well keep him to appease fans versus some worthless return.
