That's fine. I'll take the guy with the better track record. You can take the "what have you done for me lately approach" There is room for more than one opinion.
-
I’m not crapping on him, I like the guy. I just think he ends up being the odd man out when Hiura eventually comes up. Shaw has options. It was also directed at 82 cuz he bases decisions off the last 2 things he saw. Dropped ball, didn't score the runner from 3rd. MISERABLE BUM! That's a naive statement. You have no idea what I'm basing my opinion on. I think you're the one that is looking at small sample sizes.
-
Disagree. Right. Because he most recently dropped a ball. Travis Shaw has been useless the entire year. Useless. Small sample. Shaw has been the better player historically and probably will be when things are said and done this year.
-
But he does have to. This team is built on versatility and he doesn't have it. Nobody crapped on him either. I'm happy you like him. I don't think he brings much value.
-
Disagree. Per fangraphs he's a .5 war player and that was before tonight. He isn't bringing all that much value. Find a trade the second Hiura is ready and move on.
-
Aguilars been hitting well of late and have far more confidence in Shaw snapping out of it than I do in anything Thames does. You want to keep him on the team, fine. I don't think he belongs. and that's a .550 ops and a sub 625 ops in the lineup over a .850. Yep, it's not gonna stay that way.
-
How much of that value does he give away on defense?
-
Way to get it back Moose.

-
And who exactly is hitting at 1b? What does that have to do with Thames being a wretch?
-
Well, that and he has no idea where 30% of his pitches are going.
-
Thames can go at any point now and bring up Hiura.
-
All 3 hits and 2 runs in inning 1. 1 of the 6ks in inning 1. And the obligatory HR. Sounds ready to go.
-
This team looks at WAY too many called third strikes.
-
Breathing in colder air inhibits athletic performance, for one thing. Mental handicap? How? You're literally just making stuff up now. Seriously. Stop now. The ski mask paradox is as tried and true of a scientific process as anything. I do wonder though, if we happen to pour it on just enough, that we might be able to mitigate the ski mask paradox.

When Will Keston Hiura Arrive In Milwaukee?
82brewcrew82 replied to RollieTime's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hernan Perez can play anywhere. He is not preventing a Hiura callup nor would Hiura prevent Perez from playing if needed. Also, Perez had a nice day but to say what he did is "way" more productive than anything Hiura could have done is certainly a bit of hyperbole. Kinda. We ended up losing today, so it's much easier to say that. Hiura can't DH, and there have been more than a couple plays this series that a poor-ish defensive second basemen wouldn't have made. Why would losing one game have anything to do with one's opinion on this matter? Why does having poor-ish defense matter at second base to this team. I mean, we start a third basemen there every game. No one is talking about replacing Perez for Hiura. That whole statement doesn't make much sense to me. -
I'm fine with a hard Platoon of Shaw and Aguilar. Trade Thames as soon as you can get appropriate value for him. Moose to third and Hiura to second as you mentioned. Find a couple of high leverage arms for the pen and go to war.
-
Would you really have felt that much better about it if it had happened in 9 instead of 15? Knowing we had a relatively rested pen, including Hader, ready to go for tomorrow, yes I would have.
-
Yeah, that would've been fine in the ninth. Do we all get to feel over crushed now because we lost a huge game?
-
This is true--but Aguilar actually looks competent most of the time. Has an excellent 2 strike approach. Shaw hasn't hit a ball hard since April--and he was hitting poorly then too. Hmmm. Determining the shortest midget is always a difficult task.
-
The St. Luis game that was delayed for like 14 hours, is now in the 7th inning.
-
It's one of the worst games I've ever seen. Bad baseball by two teams that rather not be playing is these conditions.
