    You mean David Ross? One of those other managers who Counsell ever so slyly slipped a knife into his back knowing that to get his big payday, Ross’s head would also roll as collateral damage.

    The umpires are being more strict in glove rules this year. Last week a Cubs pitcher had to change gloves in the exact same situation after using it the night before the following day the umps claimed the white from an American flag logo was against the rules and required a change

    Come on. Uribe has an elite arm, that’s why he pitched less than 90 pro innings in the minors between signing at 18 and getting called up to the majors. No team is just going to flush talent like that, because a slap fest cleared the benches. Uribe could obviously use some finishing school in order to get his command back to passable. (A nearly 1:1 walk to strike out ratio when he throws 100mph isn’t good) and allows the big league team to manage the inevitable suspensions to a thin pitching staff.

    Bauers is 5 for his last 18 with a double, a homerun and plays good defense at first. Oliver Dunn doesn’t bring anything to the table, neither does Owen Miller but for his ability to play OF in a pinch. One of them is likely demoted since they hardly play anyways
  5. Jopal78
    Under .200 BA, under .600 OPS, and striking out just a clip shy of 33%. Clearly not quite ready for prime time did the Brewers have better options to replace him on the roster? What’s easier on his psyche: a demotion to AAA or letting his numbers crater at the majors and he moves into more of a platoon role

    Tough break but he’s never been healthy. The Brewers have had him 3 years in total and cumulatively he’s cracked just 200 innings. Losing Gutierrez kind of stings now, with the need for arms

    Out of respect for the moderators this I’ll be my last post on the subject. Not a double standard at all, rather times/values change. Julio Urias isn’t currently in the league either. It’s not unlike when in the mid-90s Brett Favre had an opioid addiction and was getting drugs without a prescription. If it was 2024 they would’ve suspended him for drug abuse and heads would’ve rolled within the organization for anyone supplying a player with opioids absent prescription, and those who knew and didn’t say anything .

    As originally suspected… enjoy him while he’s here.
  9. Jopal78
    I don’t think it’s accurate to say he’s been cleared. Regardless sexual violence or even alleged sexual violence is bad for a corporation’s branding and that’s the long and short of why Bauer is not rostered n the major leagues.

    On Sunday when they have the kids meet the Brewers players on the field would you want your young child running out to the mound to have a chat with Trevor Bauer? That most people would rather not is the reason he remains out of MLB. it has nothing to do with a bad boy image it’s the bad human image
  11. Jopal78
    Jansen Junk, McKendry, the start calling around to see what depth people are in AAA which they could get by offering a major-league deal. With three healthy pitchers at this point, they’re gonna need people just to give them 4 innings a game. The minor-league shuttle system is going to get burned out.
  12. Jopal78
    I’ll go there. I liked the 90s uniforms they wore at the end of the County Stadium era. They had piping, a throw back font style, an M on the hat and Milwaukee across the front of the road unis. That being said the Brewers have a branding problem: numerous different uniform styles, color schemes, mascots over the last 30 years. You cant have a heritage when you don’t know who you are. Why are the Yankees, Boston and Cub hats/unis etc iconic - because they haven’t changed them much at all in generations.

    I do like that Arenado forced his way out of Colorado because they didn’t win. Then he comes to St. Louis, where they had some regular season success initially but are now seemingly an also ran team due to a lack of quality pitching
  14. Jopal78
    Yeah, free agency year. He will go 90R 25HR 90 RBI, hit .280 and get a 140 million dollar guarantee somewhere else over the off season.
  15. Jopal78
    They have to teach him how to be more consistent in changing speeds and hitting his spots. I saw him pitch in Arizona and it was the same thing first inning was mostly 93mph swifties were very hittable, then he started landing breaking balls in the zone and changing speeds and he actually pitcherd quite well.
  16. Jopal78
    He’s not going 100% effort for 25 pitches like you would out of the pen; he’s focusing on his endurance to throw 90-100 pitches
  17. Jopal78
    That’s why teams don’t bunt anymore. Had Turang pushed it to the first base side it’s likely bases Loaded with nobody out. Instead he makes a mistake and bunts it up third base side they likely get nothing from two on and nobody out

    Man, Wiemer went from a promising rookie to a guy who’s probably 37 or 38th on the 40 man roster. Changed his swing, lack of PT and a cold start.

    Imagine that; finding some teenagers with superstar potential and being able to sign them for pennies on the dollar to what players via the amateur draft; it’s funny it took teams as long as it did to extensively scout and have training academies in the islands. Before 2018 the Brewers physical presence in the D.R. consisted of two baseball fields behind a barn on land owned by Solomon Torres

    Look at the terms Bauer conjures: Rape, indictment, lying. It will never happen, how could you run a kid out to the mound before the game on Sundays when he’s throwing?
  22. Jopal78
    It’s Peralta and Rea then a bunch of glorified long men masquerading as starters
  23. Jopal78
    They still market MLB as a family friendly event; Rick Schlesinger would have a hard time selling a guy who chokes women out in his bedroom as family friendly entertainment.
  24. Jopal78
    Probably toast by May if they don’t pounce on the other team for a half dozen.

    Outcome determined before the Brewers even bat.
