So all we had to do to wake up the offense is have Haines get kicked out.
-
Haines has earned a long suspension.
-
Why is Taylor pinch running here for Gyorko. We might need him to hit again tonight.
-
Little league double for Yelich.
-
He can be pretty streaky, both ways... You have to admit he has a really nice looking swing. Truth is so did his brother who I was sure was going to be a really good major league hitter.
-
Gamel has been really good lately.
-
So of course he swings at the next two way out of the zone.
-
This ump is so ridiculous. That first strike call to Arcia was not even closse.
-
Vogelbach once again slapping a single through the shift.
-
I don't think he was ever in the running lane. Why is that not reviewable.
-
At least Burnes got out of it.
-
Yeah I didn't see where he was running.
-
He might have beaten it anyway so nevermind.
-
Burnes looks good but he better keep throwing up zeroes.
-
The offense is still terrible and I doubt Bob's Big Boy is going to fix it.
-
Another solid start for the offense with 4 strikeouts through two innings.
-
Impressive first at bat from Vogelbach.
-
Has anyone lost confidence in Stearns

I think we showed interest but his relationship with Girardi probably sealed the deal. That plus they most likely offered a bigger one year deal. -
Check the Brewer drafts under Stearns. He simply doesn't draft masher corner infielders or corner outfielders for that matter. Anywhere much less the early rounds. Worse, he unloaded the one guy in the system he inherited that could mash, Garrett Cooper, at the first sign he was a prospect. Same goes for corner OF prospects he inherited. He couldn't wait to unload Grisham. He made some nice cheap acquisitions, Aguilar, Ji-Man Choi, and Thames but never really committed to those guys. He traded Kris Davis for peanuts, because he couldn't imagine trying him at 1B or moving Braun there. This is one of my big issues with the drafts under Stearns. I think he is way too focused on athletes vs guys that can really hit. He did pick Hiura who was a bat first guy but the majority of his position player picks are good athletes who either can't hit or have very questionable power. Even this last draft we pick Mitchell who is a star athlete but has shown little power in games and Zamora who looks like another middle of the diamond athlete who may not hit enough. We have drafted very few players that can hit and hit with power and we have virtually ignored third and first basemen in the draft.

I would rather have just kept Smoak and released Peterson but I doubt there is much of a difference.
-
When you shop at the dollar store you aren't exactly mining for diamonds. Vogelbach is probably no worse than Smoak offensively but he really needs to DH only. I guess Gyorko will play first full time but that would mean Sogard plays nearly every day.

Doug Melvin must be excited by this move. Heck maybe he recommended it if he is still working for the franchise.
