So let's assume the rumors are true and Villar was in Counsell's dog house. That's not on Counsell. CC has the responsibility to maintain a certain culture in the locker room, to set expectations on how to conduct yourself. If Villar refused to evolve, at that point, it's addition by subtraction. Schoop does not look like anything resembling confident right now, but once he finally settled in I'm sure he will produce.

That one guy was amazing.. "I'll thank you once, I'll thank you twice, and I'll also thank Jesus Christ!"

Disappointing end to that inning. Shaw was probably the right call, though. Biggest moment of the game, anything to the outfield scores one and hes our best power hitter on the bench. Dave Roberts throwing his lefty against so many righties like that.. that was weird. Not like that guy is a Hader type.

Anyone else like me..where you just really can't stand Rich Hill for some reason?

Do you guys remember the pure drama that was the Kevin Mench acquisition? I hope we get a similar thing going on with Schoop tonight...and that he is a lot better than Mench.

Get out of here with this garbage. Lets go back to 2008...who was the most beloved Packer? Donald Driver, the black guy. Who was the most hated player in the league in WI? Brett Favre, the white redneck guy. Sogard was a fan favorite in Milwaukee for same reason as any other team - he started out hot. The casual fan does not watch every game, and when a new guys comes in and they talk how great he is right away because he hits .500 for the first week that makes an impression. Then no one noticed he got 2 hits in August. If he started out with 2 hits his first month no one talks about him and he is gone. Excellent straw man you've built.. He never said Sogard was Wisconsin's favorite player. He just inferred that this happens with overachieving white players in predominantly white areas. I would agree with this and also add that sometimes they dont even have to achieve anything, just show flashes. I think the effect is probably more pronounced the lower the percentage of white players in a given sport. None of my argument is empirical, just my gut feeling. Im white btw. I dont see this as being a racism or privilege thing, it seems more like a relatability thing.

Here's a conspiracy theory (not at all what i think happened, but...) What if Stearns heard from Texas last minute as they were agreeing to Cleveland deal but liked what Texas was offering more? They then had Lucroy veto the trade, promising a better city and situation. Deal was already in place, but with the agreement to wait it out so as not to make it seem obvious.

I agree with the quality over quantity argument. I think when you deal two guys of the caliber of Lucroy and JJ you expect to see a long list of prospects coming back. But if Texas wasn't willing to give up much else after Brinson and Ortiz, would you rather we just said, "Okay, scrap that, give us two centerpiece players that are projected to be worse than Brinson and Ortiz and then another 4 lottery type players" ?
