    Nice to see some solid relief so far. Would be nice to escape out of here with a win going into the off day.

    I have literally never once seen him jaw at an umpire. Never ever ever. I mean in fear. Well that's just funny then.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hiura sure can hit. That phrase is becoming an understatement. Its too bad that there are so many other issues with this team, because what he's doing is pretty special.
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    No kidding. Just when it appears that this team is ready to take a step forward offensive consistency-wise, they go back to this all-or-nothing approach that just hasn't been sustainable.

    Right ribcage discomfort for Chacin. I imagine he'll head back to the IL for awhile.
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    They let Claudio take as many warm-ups as he wanted, which means he was an injury replacement. Wonder if Chacin tweaked something during his AB?
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Exactly what I was trying to say, only phrased much better.

    Castillo was an easy call as a breakout candidate too. Looked like he was putting things together at times last year. A lot of pundits predicted the leap from him this year. Perhaps DJ saw the writing on the wall that the ragtag bunch that the Brewers had put together in the pitching department would be unable to match what they did last year. If so, moving on to a new team on a pitching rebuild project was probably a solid career choice.

    The actual guys throwing the ball don't get any of the blame? If its all on the pitchers why even hire a pitching coach at all. Of course the pitchers take a ton of the blame for their poor performance but you can't ignore that this pitching staff has gotten much worse under Hook and that Cincy has gotten much better under Johnson. You can't actually think that they have the 3rd of 4th best staff in MLB because thats where their team ERA sits while we get bombed nearly every night. Well, Cincy basically rebuilt their pitching staff this year, and the majority of their pitchers are performing near career norms. The talent level has increased dramatically, so it stands to reason that the stats would also improve. The biggest difference is they haven't had the multiple negative regression guys that the Brewers have had. Saying that the Brewers pitching is getting bombed every night is a pretty major case of hyperbole too.

    Ryan Braun just took Derek Johnson DEEP!!!

    Chacin pitched under Johnson's guidance for one season. He has been solid his whole career.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It's countered by the sheer lack of other options. For some reason, this team believes Chacin is one of their 4 best starting options right now, yet Trey Supak looks like a AA Cy Young and can't even get a promotion to AAA. Maddening.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't understand how a pitcher can go from overall very effective to absolute cannon fodder in a year. A consistent veteran no less.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I agree with your premise, but feel that he has chosen to devote the team's limited free agent and prospect trade capital to adding to the offense, while they have attempted to fill the needs of the pitching staff from within. They seem to be close to having a home-grown #1 type in Brandon Woodruff, but little else on the horizon, depending on how you feel about Burnes, Peralta and Houser. Davies and Anderson are solid rotation arms, and Chacin was very good last year before falling off this season. It wouldn't surprise me if their analytics crew have crunched all the cost/benefit analysis numbers and determined that the cost to either buy a TOR arm in free agency, or trade for one, is just too high. Of course we can argue that as fans, but if that's the decision they've made, it is what it is. I don't doubt that he has attempted to acquire high-end arms, but always seems to be the bridesmaid in those scenarios. That tells me that he hasn't seen enough value to get them over the hump.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Time for Chacin to right the ship! They are going to need him to pitch well to even think about staying in contention.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You are correct and it has not been fun. That was a good 9-10 day run he had 325 posts in 7 days. Each one just a little bit weirder than the last. Wasn't it around this time last season that the Coach Cooper stories showed up?
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Or they could play Braun at 1B, and it would be a way to appease the "bring Grisham up" contingent.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Reliever: SP: Nick Neugebauer SP: Ben McDonald SP: Jamey Wright C: B.J. Surhoff 1B: Brad Nelson 2B: Ronnie Belliard or Junior Spivey SS: Gary Sheffield or Jose Valentin 3B: Sal Bando or Tyler Houston OF: Alex Sanchez OF: Jeffrey Leonard OF: Jeffrey Hammonds
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I could see Supak, Ashby and Grisham all dealt. Of the guys on the MLB roster, I think Arcia is the only one. I can't see Grandal and Moose dealt unless the team goes into an absolute tailspin over the next week and a half.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I predict we'll start seeing some bigger moves this weekend. It will be interesting to see if it's a buyers' or sellers' market. Of the few deals that have been consummated so far, it looks like a buyers' market, as the return on some of these veteran players has been pretty lax in my opinion. I still think the Brewers will find a way to grab a couple pen arms (one high leverage name guy, and one under-the-radar guy with some analytical upside). If they get a starter, it will likely be a rental who won't break the bank prospect-wise. But who knows? If the right deal comes along for a bigger name, I suppose it could happen.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think Wheeler makes sense as a rental that could theoretically fill Woodruff's role for the next 6 weeks. I do wonder, though, if the Mets are rushing him back for a trade showcase.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Davies is pitching great this year. Woodruff's injury means he needs to continue to step up and pitch like the upper-end starter he's been this year.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Just stop
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Well, when you don't have a WS win to hang your hat on ...
