    Wow you think Woody is fired up?
  2. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Odd that Hader is up right now. I'd hate to blow him this early.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Poor Manny continues to be the human pincushion.
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Kratz might just David Ross himself into an anchor desk next year.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I have decided that I DO NOT want Yasmani Grandal to be the Brewers' catcher next year.
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hey, we got nailed on a catcher's interference lately. It happens. Not often, but a rule is a rule.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    He just batted .385 in the NLDS.

    Gotta hang a crooked number on Kershaw here. Need Braun and Aguliar to come though here.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Really makes me wonder yet again why Woodruff was in Colorado Springs pretty much all of July and August.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Can Woody play 2B?
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    WOODY!!!!!!
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    If they can't put runs on the board, they don't deserve to.

    Didn't realize that. Then I dont really see a need for him on this team. I didnt care for the trade anyways, but even more so now. Yep. Even if you're dead set on getting rid of Villar, Shaw/Perez is your 2B platoon. And nobody should have been dead set on getting rid of Villar at that price; he and Perez were the right fit for pinch-running and against LHP's with Shaw playing some 2B against RHP's. There had to be an underlying reason why they weren't playing Villar, and why they ultimately threw him in the Schoop trade. It doesn't make any sense if it was just baseball reasons. I don't think we'll ever know why exactly.

    Do they let Woodruff lead off the inning? Must have really not liked the idea of Gio getting the top of the order again. I hope they aren't getting too cute.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Don't throw a meatball right down the middle to their best hitter, and he's still pitching.

    Santana better not be useless in this series. I would have picked Brox over him. If Domingo is flailing away like he did against the Rockies, that removes his one positive over Brox. ...it was two at bats. (3 PA, he worked a walk). Jeesh. I’m hoping for the best. But it’s the playoffs. Gotta make every at-bat count. His ABs are likely going to be in key spots.

    The idea that they might be starting Gio was bouncing around in the back of my head. I love this move. I guy who didn't throw a pitch in the NLDS is your NLCS Game 1 starter. Ultimate matchup baseball!

    I'm serious when I say that I think Troy Stokes is arguably the best all-around outfield prospect the Crew has. He's always had speed and OBP skills, and now he's added power. The defense doesn't seem too bad, either. Yet it's disappointing that they didn't see fit to jump him up to AAA this year. I thought for sure he was ticketed for a move, and it's isn't like the team had massive amounts of OF depth at AAA. He needs to make a sizable leap to his average at AAA next year to help his prospect status. I'm pulling for him, as there just isn't many guys out there with his body type and skillset profile.

    Great possibility ... for 2020-21 at the earliest. The guy needs more time. When he hits .330 at AA-AAA, let's talk. I’m confused. He’s at .372 for his two season in the minors with his low stretch being .339 innings AA this past season. I don’t think him coming up in late May/June and batting .285 with a .340 OBP the rest of the way is crazy. He hit .272 for Biloxi in 307 plate appearances in 2018. That is not a "call me up now" stat. I like Keston, and I think he has a good future in the Brewers organization, but I'm just cautioning to pump the brakes a bit on the "OMG NEXT BIG SUPERSTAR CALL HIM UP NOW!!!!!" talk. If Hiura is the team's everyday 2B in 2020, it wouldn't surprise me. I think he plays most of the year in San Antonio next year, then gets an August or Sept. call-up. Of course, injuries could play a role in moving up that timeline.

    He was profiled with having above average speed, but it wasn't hugely noteworthy. I think the base stealing must be something that he's been told to focus on. Having another ++ tool would certainly help his ascent to the big leagues.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think it's an enormous leap to assume either was anywhere close to available.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That is a really interesting theory, but it would be totally contingent on either reupping Moustakas or targeting a FA 2B like Murphy, Dozier or LeMaheau. Murphy would be my top choice, but he is likely looking for multiple years. They could get a stop-gap like Neil Walker for a year, or even turn over the position to a Dubon/Perez platoon. My choice would be to resign Moustakas and play Shaw at 2B, or if Moose walks, play Shaw at 3B and sign Murphy. I personally would love to see what Johnson could do with Sonny Gray, though.

    That is very flawed logic. Villar wasn't playing, and it was obvious he wasn't going to play. This has been pointed out countless times in countless threads. Villar was ready to come off the DL for at least a week when he was dealt, yet the Brewers kept him there. For whatever reason, Counsell was done with him. Looking at his stats with Baltimore, and saying he would have done that in Milwaukee, is comparing apples and oranges. Villar was the definition of a "throw-in" in that deal. I hope Villar plays well for the Orioles and becomes a good Major League regular. I loved the energy and enthusiasm he brought. He was never going to achieve that with the Brewers, though. Counsell is as much to blame as Stearns. To say that Counsell wasn't playing Villar so he needed to be traded takes two wrongs and tries to call it right. Fair enough, but we aren't playing in a vacuum, either. Personally I would have loved for them to give Villar the job and stick with him, but Counsell wasn't going to do that, and Counsell isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It was probably a win that Stearns was able to flip him for any value at all, considering he was probably an eyelash close to being DFA'd. I, too, hope that Schoop can put up great numbers next year. I think that best case, though, he's going to put up numbers similar to what Rickie Weeks did in an average year - .260 average, 15-20 HRs, and a bunch of Ks. I'd love for them to go grab someone like Daniel Murphy on a 1-2 year deal, as they don't need another total free swinger in the lineup every day. I guess it is what it is, though.
