Yeah maybe the next owner will realize there are a dozen larger markets in the country that would love a baseball team, that way they can make more money and spend more money.
Given the expanded playoff it's very unlikely that this happens and the Brewers fall out of the race. They would need an incredible amount of other things to go wrong. Even as bad as things seem right now, they're still a first place team and coming into today 4 games over .500. They are not all that close to being sellers.
I mean because in addition to Freddie obviously not being able to locate pitches or throw the ball to second, they've had two different guys boot grounders, one of which a play most guys on the forum could have made
No what you need to do is look at Holds and add those to Saves, then you look at the number of blown saves and you can determine what a guy's percentage was with a lead.
Oh definitely, if they didn't have the injuries and underperformance in the rotation it wouldn't be that concerning that the lineup isn't scoring a lot. You can win and be really good with starting pitching, great closer, and defense.
I couldn't agree more about the expanded playoff. I don't want the Brewers to be just a couple games out of the third wild card when it's the all star break and they're 7 games under .500. You want them to have to go over the top with a big signing or big trade to put them over the top, not dumpster dive for bad veterans in hopes of an 84 win season because 84 wins could be good enough to get in.
Well when you have a punchless lineup of singles hitters who strikeout a ton this will happen. They're not bottom 10 in all of baseball in most offensive categories for nothing.
Yeah but it does no good for anyone to put a guy who is that far from big league talent on the team. It's a year of wasted development for a young player and probably probably a massive confidence hit. It's not surprising he only played one more game in the big leagues after that season.
This year might be far worse than previous years by the end, CF, RF, 2B, DH might be completely terrible, Adames isn't hitting either but I'd think he'd turn it around.
It's just always going to happen when you have so many hitters who can't hit lefties. They need to get rid of hitters who can't hit lefties and find more who can. This has been a massive organizational failure for several years now.
