I imagine Woody will be sent out tomorrow when Davies comes of the DL. I'm sure he'll be slotted back into the Springs rotation quickly. -
Yes I know I am quoting myself, but just wanted to draw attention to this yet again. This has been a typical Brent Suter game. Sometimes guys that know how to pitch can also get the job done.
-
Followed by a Santana hit and a Villar walk. Haters are running out of things to complain about LOL.
-
Travis Shaw!!! Regression candidate, huh?
-
If Bandy were catching again, the board might implode. Good thing Suter is starting today.
-
I think that's why I like the guy. He is the Yin to Willy Peralta's Yang. Suter is never going to be an ace, but there is no reason ha cannot carve out a career as an above-average #4-5 guy in a decent rotation. Say what you will about his stuff, but the ability to go on short rest, be yo-yo'd around from the rotation to the pen and give everything he has every time out is very valuable.
-
Wow, what a great play for out #3.
-
If what they needed was to not score any runs in the 3rd, then you are correct Ugh I'm sorry.. I just can't get excited... or NOT be negative with the trash he throws up there... it's like when Doug Jones was our CLOSER.... Oh LAAAAWD. I've seen plenty of Brewers pitchers throw mid-90s stuff and get pounded over the years. If Suter gets the job done, I don't care how he does it.

That is Suter's game. Give up a run or two early, make everyone here think he's horrible, then you look up and he's through 5 with still only those 2 on the board.

Manny Machado (Part 1)
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to mlloyd10's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I'm sure that was the Cubs' thinking with Chapman as well. While he helped get them a Series win, if there were looking to lock him up longterm, that backfired. -
Suter just went 5 2/3 with 1 ER his last time out. I'm sure Woodruff would probably get the call if Suter is knocked around early, but I doubt that a straight piggyback is part of the plan.

Manny Machado (Part 1)

So Russell and a bunch of far-off pitchers, albeit with some decent upside. I think the Orioles would be dumb not to get Caratini in any deal as well. But that is a young SS, #3 prospect, #6 prospect, #5 or #4 prospect and maybe Happ, who is young and talented. For a guy who would be a rental? I know their system sucks, but wow. That would be the equivalent of the Brewers giving up Arcia, Ortiz, Houser or Ponce (or maybe Supak) and Phillips. That would be a pretty big ouch for a rental. -
Because Choi is shaped like a pear, and you already downgraded your defense in CF going from Cain to Yelich? It's going to be funny when Perez goes 4-5 today with a couple steals LOL
-
I would think that is close to accurate. My guess is the Marlins asked that Hader be included and got hung up on, then asked for Burnes and got refused. The Brewers would be better with JT, but they cannot afford to lose their pitching depth in MiLB in Burnes, Peralta, Ortiz etc. Those guys are a core part of 2019-2022. Not singling out you because a lot of posters have said similar things, but the whole notion that GMs "hang up" on each other if they feel the ask isn't fair is really dumb. GMs don't operate that way, regardless of how Billy Beane was portrayed in Moneyball or how Kevin Costner played the fictional Browns GM in Draft Day. I would think any GMs that do operate that way won't be GMs for long. These guys are professionals, and there is a strong modicum of mutual respect amongst them. Heck I bet Doug Melvin wouldn't have even "hung up" on Sandy Alderson post Gomez trade debacle ... and if anyone had a reason to at the time, it was Melvin. And yes, I know the Plan B trade has kind of worked out for the Brewers But on topic, I'm sure the Marlins are asking for a nice ransom for Realmuto, as they should be. The Brewers system is deep enough to absorb that ask and not be "gutted", although I'm sure there are many here who disagree with that.

Besides a little more positional flexibility, and a known name, I just don't see what Swihart can provide that Nottingham doesn't. I imagine he'll eventually be DFA'd, and some team will still end up overpaying because "Red Sox PROSPECT!!!!" *slobbber
-
Well, Yelich led off last night, and the results were ... not super. I'm totally ok with Cain getting a breather, but it really doesn't leave much left for lead-off options. Villar has been better lately, so I guess they could throw him up there. I've seen Santana suggested, but maybe they are trying to leave him in generally the same area of the lineup in the hopes he continues to get it going. And Bandy should be starting once a week at most.
-
This is turning out to be a really fun team this year. If the offense gets the ship righted, it's the type of team that will be able to go on some long runs. They are beating decent to good teams too. Just gotta get things figured out against the Cubs .... or just get out to a big enough lead that their remaining games against Chicago won't matter.
-
Wow this ump is trash.
-
Being as that is the ultimate goal of player acquisition, I would say the Cubs are OK with it. They don't win the 2016 Series without Chapman, and Torres wasn't going to help them that season. Davis didn't quite get them to that same point, but they came close. I doubt they are kicking themselves over either move.

What's bugging you? (2017-2018)
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Off-Topic Forum
The fact that the Potowatami "Let's Go Back" casino commercial is frequently on again during Brewers coverage bugs me. I thought that it was pretty played out last year, and hadn't seen it again until last night's game, but there it was again, on several times again in all its "glory". -
Manny Machado (Part 1)
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to mlloyd10's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
It may be an anti-Stearns move, but it is very much an Attanasio-esque move. He signs the checks. -
Not disappointed at all. The guy was an All-Star shut-down closer last year, and arguably the team's MVP. It wouldn't surprise me to see Jeffress and Hader continue to get multiple-inning save chances, though. Maybe just not as frequently. The way that Counsell handled the pen during Knebel's injury was masterful, so it would be a shame for them to scrap that entirely.
-
Peralta. Completely understandable the way he pitched against the Twins. He certainly has a bright future, but isn't ready yet. He'll be back in the majors this year though.
-
I can live with an offensive black hole at backup catcher if they are elite defensively. I don't see that with Bandy. I suspect he has about 3 more starts this month to show them something. Let us not forget we traded a defensive catcher for Bandy to upgrade the offensive end of the catching position...... For the most part the trades Stearns has made have been solid to spectacular. This particular one, however, was horrible.
