    Pitchers in AAA might be “on the cusp of major leagues” because of the structure of the minor-league system. But it’s not like AAA is full of tomorrow’s big league pitching stars. It’s mostly pitchers who weren’t good enough to stick in the major leagues or haven’t knocked anybody socks off yet in their professional career

    It really shouldn’t be a surprise. For 20+ years the Cardinals had HOF players and other terrific ball players in their line up every year. Now, their noteworthy players are all old and the the youngsters they had hoped for Tyler O’Neill, Dylan Carlson, Hicks, Hudson weren’t good enough; and their next crop of young bucks haven’t been good either: Gorman, Walker and Liberatore. Not having unlimited payroll it is the gamble they took giving out the huge guarantees to land Goldschmidt and Arenado in the first place, and their GM seemingly made it worse handing out guarantees to Matz, Mikolas, Contreras, in an effort to keep the ship afloat

    They got robbed!

    Yeah, people crucified Boras for not getting more for Bellinger (and others), but as usual Boras has the last laugh. It is Hoyer who has the egg on his face being into the luxury tax and owing Bellinger (.275/.333/.426) 58 million dollars for the next 2 seasons

    They actually passed him through waivers hoping someone would claim the remainder of his 9 million dollar salary. Today after having gone unclaimed they flat out released him

    It could also be softening up the fans for when they place a bunch of players on waivers to try to get under the threshold: Wisdom, Bote, maybe even Bellinger

    Kind of interesting that the “can’t miss” type prospects in the first round all mostly missed and the draftees who became real players were all much less heralded.

    Riley Pint the #4 overall draft pick in 2016 was just outrighted to the minors by Colorado. Corey Ray at #5 is already out of baseball. Nick Senzel at #2 is hanging on by a thread. Mickey Moniak #1 is close to a zero war player, Ian Anderson #3 is in the minor leagues with Atlanta. Brutal draft class. The best player in the first round has been Will Smith who was the 32nd pick

    The Dodgers have 3 players with OBP over .380 and a Slugging over .490. The Brewers have one such player and it’s looking like he will end up having missed the majority of the games this year with injuries. That’s the difference in their offenses.

    Elias Diaz was just placed on outright waivers by Colorado. Probably a good bench mark for Haase. If Diaz goes unclaimed, the Brewers wouldn’t risk much DFA’ing Haase to get more roster flexibility in September

    Nice. Wise guy. More specifically he was finally healthy and pitching well and the Pirates dropped him.
  12. Jopal78
    Why did the Pirates drop Honeywell?
  13. Jopal78
    You’re right! Season era under 5!
  14. Jopal78
    If Montas can get through 5 innings and give up just the 3 runs, he delivered what the Brewers would have wanted
  15. Jopal78
    No idea. He went in feet first though
  16. Jopal78
    How does he not know where the ball is? He initially slid into 2nd base on a fly ball. Player not paying attention cost them a potential big inning
  17. Jopal78
    Anthony Banda! Didn’t realize he was still in the league. Brewers traded him as part of deal to get Gerardo Parra
  18. Jopal78
    O’Driscoll is perhaps the worst official scorer and E5 and FC on the ball Ortiz his and an E6 earlier
  19. Jopal78
    Not really, it’s not like there were other players available for the same money they passed on to get Montas. when you’re only willing to trade crap, what do you think you’re gonna get?
  20. Jopal78
    Junis has a 7.36 era for the Reds and Wiemer was called up and subsequently demoted. If anything it’s reallocating a bunch of spare parts that won’t amount to anything with either team.
  21. Jopal78
    Right, but you have to hear what he’s saying. He has 2 veteran SP who have stayed healthy all year. He has no SPs averaging six innings a start. His star hitter and star reliever have missed most the season with injuries and the roster has been a MASH unit all season. It sounds like the description of a last place club, yet coming down the stretch they’ve got a healthy lead in their division.
  22. Jopal78
    Hoskins brings nothing to the table but homers (which is why his WAR is close to 0) and even his homer total won’t even be amongst the league leaders there. His player option for ‘25 is 18 million dollars, no club is going to give him that or more on a one year free agent deal. With his play to date, I highly doubt any team would give him a multi-year guarantee. I think most likely, he exercises his player option and the Brewers work out another trade (like they did with JBJ) to dump his contract.
  23. Jopal78
    I could be wrong but I thought Murphy said he’s going out on a rehab assignment later this week. 60 days from Paredes’ last appearance would make him eligible to return on about September 1st or 2nd which would also be a consistent timeline with a 14 day rehab assignment starting later this week.
  24. Jopal78
    The Brewers didn’t lose because of Mitchell and Turang being at the top of the lineup. They lost because the Dodgers two best hitters (Betts and Ohtani) combined for 2 homers and 5 rbi. Brewers are a pitching and defense team, when they don’t pitch and/or play defense they usually lose.
  25. Jopal78
    Right. Megill will need a spot, Perkins, Milner, maybe even Yelich, Zastryzny and Paredes
