  1. Methinks your expectations may be a tad unrealistic. You simply cannot expect shutouts every time out. Considering the state the the team's pen today, and Wilson's success pitching with an opener versus as a traditional starter this season, the thought process was certainly sound.
  2. Welp, with Yelich going back on the IL (with what appears to be an ominous tone), the roster crunch is shaking out a bit now. Mitchell, Frelick, Chourio, Perkins and perhaps Haase (39 career starts in LF) share the OF duties for the time being. Wiemer, Brewer Hicklen or Tyler Black perhaps get a look. We hope to see Yelich in September.
  3. I think they are thinking about what they've done with Hudson and Koenig, which is why they wouldn't give up a huge asset for Puk. Hudson and Koenig were basically free. This team has proven the can work magic with pitching ... especially relief pitching off the scrap heap. They aren't going to trade a high-end prospect for one.
  4. Chafin had a MUCH larger and more distinguished track record.
  5. Define "younger". Ashby turned 26 roughly three weeks ago. He also looked very solid in his last spot start for the Brewers. Wouldn't be so quick to write him off quite yet.
  6. I don't know if it is sad so much as very surprising that the team is in the competitive situation it is in while basically throwing a rotation of retreads, newbies and never-was'es.
  7. I feel like the offense heating up, along with the (hopefully) imminent return of Yelich, may lead to an exciting stretch of baseball.
  8. Well if he's going to be down for a few days, might as well tire him out a bit first.
  9. Ha! If you ask a lot of Cubs fans, Hendricks is prime Greg Maddux
  10. So are we actually getting a solid enough sample size to determine that Colin Rea is actually decent? He put up solid back-of-the-rotation type numbers last year, and is following that up with a very solid start to the year this year. In what's been a season of turmoil rotation-wise, he's been a rock so far.
  11. If they have proved anything so far this year, it's that there is no "closer".
  12. IMO he's shunned because in addition to his skeletons, he's also a known prick/locker room cancer. Teams put up with that when he was a annual Cy Young contender. But when the ends no longer justify the means ...
  13. Disappointing un-Ace-like performance today from Peralta. Pretty disappointing. I get that he isn't going to be lights-out every outing, but today is still disappointing.
  14. Other than Yelich, the power hasn't exactly been consistent from anyone.
  15. There are games that even good offenses don't show up. Always nice to steal a W when that happens.
  16. Not if you appreciate good pitching I suppose.
  17. I think the point is, considering the rotation depth we lost this past offseason, acquiring at least one more mid-rotation type starter would have been produent. It isn't like there weren't plenty of those types available, even into the end of Spring Training.
  18. Fine with me. Let them sneak up on baseball this year. But IMO, there is no way that the Brewers should be ranked lower than the Cubs and especially the Cardinals after the trainwreck of a 2023 season they had. And the Reds are very debatable.
  19. There are a few relievers still hanging out on the FA market. Brad Hand or Mark Melancon as reclamation projects. Old friend Brad Boxberger. Trevor Rosenthal (I know, I know). Alex Reyes ...
  20. Not if you feel fine. Why would he have done anything different if he felt fine? The articles I've read all indicate that his back pain didn't return until he ramped up in Spring Training.
  21. Or everybody's body is complex, and the capacity for healing is different. Are you trying to say that Williams should have known the discomfort would return when he literally felt fine? Or that the Brewers should have somehow known that his back would start hurting again once he ramped up in February, when again, he literally felt fine in the offseason?
