    Stearns plainly said when he was acquired that they viewed him as the team's SS of the future, and that Arcia was basically on notice. He's provided an offensive spark in his few chances so far. I too am not real sure what the issue is. The guy doesn't profile as a platoon player, and the Brewers are treating him as such. Of course, Arcia has been one of the team's few non-black holes on offense. Still if Urias isn't at SS, he should be at 3B or 2B. With the DH this year, there is little excuse to not have him in the lineup.

    I expected Narvaez to hit with bad defense but Garcia is hilariously overrated. Garcia was terrific in 2017, ok in 2018 and solid last year. He's a solid corner OFer. Decent hitter, good defender. Who is overrating him?
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Let's be honest. This roster is top heavy. Without Yelich and Hiura hitting like MVPs, the offense was likely going to struggle, and that's exactly what we're seeing. I fully expect that those two will eventually get it together and hit consistently, but I fear in a 60 game season, it may be too late. Really no complaints on the pitching so far, other than Anderson looking predictably meh and Lauer looking like a gas can. Lindbloom has been pretty much as advertised. He's being paid like a #4, and has looked the part so far.

    I was not excited by the Brett Anderson signing, but was encouraged by his solid numbers pitching for the A's last year. Apparently that was smoke and mirrors, because he's not good.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    110% agree. Why is Pina getting snubbed? What does he have to do to get more playing time? With so few hot hitters on this squad, why bench him 2 games in a row? Dumb. I'm typically one of this team's biggest apologists ... but yep.
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Wow ... just ... wow. Well, I guess there's no pleasing everybody.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I hate talking bad about any Brewer. (I have a Jesus jersey...) But Lauer doesn't inspire any confidence in me. I want to like these guys, but I can't with him. Even Lindblom is a little sketchy right now, though he does have good stuff. My hope with Lauer rests in that he only just turned 25. He looked pretty lights-out in Spring Training, and also at times with the Padres last year. Last night it looked like he was putting it up there on a tee for the Twins, though.

    Hopefully this means Burnes goes back to the rotation. If the Brewers are going to muddle around .500, at least make it fun and give the future some time.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You are gonna get your wish. Brewers just announced that Rasmussen (along with Angel Perdomo) are up. I assume Grimm was DFA'd or put on the DL, and maybe Lauer optioned?
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Corey Ray .... but just because I desperately want him to not be a wasted pick. Heck, once upon a time there were a lot of people who gave up on Trent Grisham, so anything's possible.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That was the point I continuously tried to make as baseball fans all over (including several here) sized up the Reds roster for their World Series rings. The Reds were a dumpster fire last year, and teams rarely go from that dysfunctional to World Series contention in a season. They may be going in the right direction, but I need to see more actual incremental improvement, rather than the "on paper" improvement they seem to be making.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Agreed. If there was any year to give Urias ABs in every game, this is it.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    LOL ... I lost count of how many times you gave up on last year's team. You still commenting on things you don't agree with. New name same tired act. I forgot all is well. Go Brewers!! Just pointing out facts my man. I do agree ... this year's team is not last years. This year's team looks pretty flat.

    Look at the pen. Who else you gonna go to?
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Grimm was smart. MLBPA is going to raise a stink if the Brewers try to DFA a guy who is "hurt".
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I mean yeah, if they were being smart, the NFL would probably at least delay. But they won't, because money.

    He was ranked #23 prior to the 2019 season. I'm not sure what your definition of uber prospect is, but a top 30 guy in all of MLB is pretty high. Urias's offensive profile in the minors is sizably more robust than anything Arcia ever did. Alcides Escobar was also a top 20 MLB prospect. Still I have plenty of hope for Urias but Grisham looks like he may very well be a very good big league hitter. Escobar, like Arcia, was a young, flashy glove man coming up through the minors. Urias has never fit that profile. His bat always carried his prospect status. He isn't Arcia or Escobar.

    Historically Arcia doesn’t hit, and the scouting report on Urias is he doesn’t hit in the majors either. A team starved for offense is going to go with the other middling bats who at least have a track record of doing something If true, trading Grisham for him is criminal. That's a really poor take on a 23-year-old uber-prospect.

A team starved for offense is going to go with the other middling bats who at least have a track record of doing something Urias has all of 270 career ABs in the majors, and is 23. He was also a top 10 overall MLB prospect while in the Padres system, and it wasn't for his glove. Go look at his minors numbers. They are terrific.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Domingo Santana ... I wish we had him ... 30 HR's, .280 plus average, gets walks, we trade him for a backup ... Santana is better than Garcia, IMHO. Domingo Santana was so good that the Mariners didn't even tender him a deal in the offseason. He's a bum.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Why isn't Justin Grimm in this game yet?
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Perhaps the Brewers should have Lauer throw batting practice. Our hitters could use the confidence boost.

    Jonathon Schoop says hi.
