    Crawford talks about the human element being taken out of the game but it continues to happen with the growth of replay and the lack of manager/umpire arguments just to name a few. I do think this is inevitable, as well. I like the idea of having a standard, concrete strike zone that is intrinsic to each batter. Eliminating the "umpire show" every few nights where umps blatantly get a few calls wrong, someone argues back, and they're immediately tossed for showing them up would make the game cleaner and more honest.

    How can the pitching coach from Brevard survive after a season when the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft posts a 5.93 ERA and one of the pieces back in the Khris Davis deal posts an ERA of 5.59? The same way numerous pitchers at Brevard County had their best seasons yet. Also the same way Derek Johnson will likely retain his position even though Jungmann, Peralta, Sam Freeman, Blazek, Knebel, etc couldn't seem to find it in Milwaukee this year (other than recently, I know). Point being, you could pull random stats from any individual situation to make your argument. I don't have an idea either way whether he'll be kept but to use two players to justify why he should be fired for a team that overall was very good pitching wise seems a little bit silly to me.

    They don't care about prospects, they care about winning. And you know the two are more times than not correlated, right?

    When the team's average, average, is a measly .227 I think you could make a very valid argument that Brevard County is an excuse to hit .248. it's well-know Brevard County takes the bat out of a lot of guy's hands. I'm glad it looks like we're trending to a more neutral environment. Who knows if he's a successful MLB'er or even a successful AA'er, but he's a local guy to keep an eye on.

    This last point is exactly why I laugh when people say they're not impressed by Stearns or hate what he's doing as GM. Add Guerra to that list as well.

    Also, I'm sure as Jerico brushed on earlier, Stearns must be in the ear of Counsell at times telling him which guys to use in which situations to get the most value out of their roster as a whole. Showcasing guys and putting them in the best positions to succeed not just for wins but for trade value also. As Broxton's shown recently he has maybe figured something significant out in his stroke, he's found the lineup more. The way he's managed the bullpen before and after the deadline has been pretty well in my opinion. The only issue I ever had was not playing Broxton in a lost year anyway, but that issue has seemed to fix itself. Any others are relatively small and would be front office things (DFA'ing Flores, Middlebrooks over Cecchini, etc., but those are just my preferences). I don't know what else anyone realistically expects coming from a fairly new manager with a club expected to be one of, if not the worst team in baseball. Oh by the way, that was before they traded their three best players at the deadline.

    Say what you want about the move but good for Coulter. Still hitting over .500 in a change of scenery. Wouldn't be surprised if Maverick sees similar success when he gets promoted.

    Not just saying this because of the pinch hit homer last night but it is almost driving me nuts playing Kirk in centerfield each night instead of Broxton. I get if the plan is to move him later on this season but even throughout the year to stunt Keon's growth and development at the MLB level playing behind a guy that doesn't figure to be a potential assset is really puzzling to me. FWIW, I'm an advocate of Keon and throughout the year I've really been pulling for him. I tend to root for the guys that have all the tools but may be consistent playing time away from breaking out.

    The more I read about Ronald Guzman the more I like him. I think he could have a real future in our organization at a position that is relatively thin right now. Another name I've grown to like is that of Josh Morgan. Middle infielder (I know, I know) with some pop that can routinely hit .285-.315 is definitely valuable. Do I think Stearns goes that route? Not necessarily due to the plethora of guys we have around there. Do I think it's out of the question? Absolutely not.

    I remember the play you're referencing and to be fair Jimmy spiked a ball about 1.5 feet in front of home plate. Even Luc would have had a hard time with that.
  13. MilwaukeesBest
    Could you speak on some of the plays or things you've seen from Ray that us fans up north haven't seen in person yet? Any dazzling defensive catches or throws or impressive at bats?
  14. MilwaukeesBest
    I know this isn't a debate thread but yikes. The differing of opinions though is what makes it fun! Few years ago it'd be difficult to find 8-10 promising ones.
  15. MilwaukeesBest
    Phillips, Ray, Clark all have to step up and show they can consistently hit MiLB pitching or they might never make the show. Here's a question: Which of the three ends the year with the highest batting average?
  16. MilwaukeesBest
    Definitely late to this specific party here but who is agent39? Is that Jeremy's agent?

    Interesting again that HighHeat19 was dead on with his projection that the Brewers were going to trade Smith for a player with a K/9 over 1. For that insider information it's a shame he left!
  19. MilwaukeesBest
    Players to be named always suck - but I'm happy with 2 1/2 players in Brinson and Ortiz Elaborate please.

    Olney says Mets are out on Lucroy. Again.
  22. MilwaukeesBest
    Sounds like it's Tate+ too
  23. MilwaukeesBest
    Could you imagine with the decline in velocity with Smith if he failed a physical and it didn't go through. Knocking [banging my head] on wood as we speak.
  24. MilwaukeesBest
    Bickford and Susac. Holy cow.
  25. MilwaukeesBest
    You're right. As long as they're in the Commisioner's office by the deadline they can be made. Therefore no one may get wind of them for some time after.
