I’d almost take any of the giants relievers over ours, not named hader.

What a sloppy game

You can blame the coaching staff all you want, but the players need to execute much better. It seems to be walks or balls right down the pipe.

We may never win again.

JJ velocity is pretty strong tonight.

Is it just me, or does grandal get kind of lazy framing pitches from time to time?

Hiura! Let’s go!!

There is some fight left in this team! Aguilar coming alive!!

Nice to see back to back hits from Cain/Yelich!

Saladino batting a cool .086. Can’t imagine Shaw is long for the minors

His job isn’t remotely in jeopardy. Two days ago I would have agreed. But I think it has increased to “remotely” in jeopardy. This is terrible. It’s gone from a zero percent chance to about 5-10 percent chance I will let you know when it goes up Two games in July is what changed your mind? Just don’t see it.

His job isn’t remotely in jeopardy.

Long live Ryan Braun!

Has Braun changed his stance? Looks different than the previous 10 years of watching him.

Pretty incredible he lost 17 games as an all star with a 3.02 era.

As usual, I’m with torts!

Maybe Arcia is the trade chip, not doubon? Arcia is only going to get more expensive and has been less than stellar after the hype of being a top prospect. Doubon has a 15% k rate compared to 22% for Arcia. Should be interesting.

Funny I thought the same thing. No Saladino makes me happy.

Sure there is. Relievers are so volatile. Edwin Diaz was every bit as good as Hader was last year, if not better and now he has an ERA pushing 6 with a FIP of around 4 and is giving up hard contact nearly half the time. Same is true for Blake Treinen and Jose Leclerc and Jose Alvarado and Jeurys Familia and Joakim Soria and Jeremy Jeffress and Dellin Betances. Yup. I suggested trading Knebel the last two offseasons now and it really would of been wise to do so. He was bad most of last season before the final month. He probably regained most of his value back by being so dominant late in the year and in the postseason. Now he is missing all of this season. For the Brewers to have continued success, they need to make moves to keep filtering young talent into the organization. Trading relief pitchers after career years is a fantastic way of doing that. Moving guys like Tyler Thornburg, Knebel, and Hader is something the Brewers should continue exploring each and every offseason. With Hader’s odd throwing motion and how hard he pitches, he is definitely a TJ candidate in his career. If he needs TJ surgery in June of next year and can’t pitch in the postseason for us in 2020 and misses all of 2021 as well, now you’re down to 2 years of control and his value at rock bottom. The window of opportunity to cash in on him would be gone. There’s a lot to consider in regards of what to do with Hader. Sure! Maybe in the off-season. The team is in first place right now in the NL Central. Why would we trade our best pitcher who is and will be a huge part of our success. I get the concept of trading to fill the pipeline. But how often are we talking about guys who never make it? How many miserable years we have had missing the playoffs. Now a first place team on July 6th and we want to sell off our best pitcher, who will get CY Young votes. Seems crazy to me.

Anyone you replace Anderson with is a downgrade. And it’s a 50/50 shot with Bill. Be thankful we have these two. Many other clubs fans would love to have our guys.

How did this topic even get started? There is zero incentive to trading him. Rookie contract and best reliever in baseball. Also, we are still tied for first. Just don’t get it.

I don’t see a single person I would. Cost controlled for 3 more years. And really only Trout is better than him (Bellinger has been coming back to the mean). The thing for MKE and Trout is the amount of money owed. Basically Yelich costs a third of the price and getting relatively similar production. Also love the fact he’s left handed. Still think Trout is easily the best player in the game...yelich would be second. His team friendly contract makes him all the more valuable.

I’d love to see Doubon and Hiura get called up for Shaw/Aguilar/Arcia and provide a jolt to this team. Could be our middle infield for years to come!

If the crew ends up losing today. They will be 6-10 since Shaw has been back. 2 of those wins he didn’t play. Not that they are mutually exclusive, just adding to the narrative.

I overall like this take. However, Hiura doesn’t walk much at all, so do we really want him leading off? Seems like he would be better served with the potential of driving runners in, not being driven in.
