    The Jets won 5 of their 7 games against backup QBs and their defense was the healthiest unit in football. These are things you can't really count on to happen again in a new season added on top of a punishing schedule. One of their defensive starters is already out for the season (Chuck Clark/ACL) and EDGE Carl Lawson was out for the Bills game. Does that mean they can't have a winning year? Of course not. But even what they did last season, with that great defense, wasn't as great as it looks at face value. They need their offense to score more points which is the same problem they had last year. They've lucked into one win with an OT punt return TD. Check that one off the list of reasonably repeatable occurrences.

    Fair enough, I just felt like the initial jumping on that poster was a little eyebrow raising.
  3. SeaBass
    Patently untrue and also qualified with an "I don't have the data" statement. Whew, it's so hard to tolerate these liars and their deliberately misleading statements.

    And spending a 4th round pick for him... I glommed onto that little detail immediately.
  5. SeaBass
    No "I told you so's" from me. I know many have been frustrated with Rowdy and it makes sense. Glad he came through!
  6. SeaBass
    I'm not. If you wish to ignore the actual posts in the conversation that's your prerogative but there is a post where the person I was responding to continued to speak as if he was talking about Rowdy since his return before the peanut gallery jumped in to tell me it's about more than that.

    Literally 2 posts above that: Context matters.

    0-4 with 3 walks in 2 games since missing nearly 2 months and complaining he has a "sub .500 OPS" is more than a little over dramatic for my tastes. And that's all I'm going to say about it.
  9. SeaBass
    7 PA, how many hits would it take? 9? 17?
  10. SeaBass
    We are? He's been back for two games! 7 PA, 3 BB and an RBI. Sheesh.

    What is it about the other call ups/acquisitions that suggests they did not deserve their time? I'm already on record saying I'd have been fine with Hiura replacing Winker but that doesn't mean the moves the Brewers made instead are not without merit.
  12. SeaBass
    Hiura's 2023 MLB plate appearances - 0 Canha's 2023 MLB plate appearances - 376
  13. SeaBass
    I think it's obvious. Canha draws walks, Hiura doesn't. Canha has a career OBP just shy of .350. Had a 122 OPS+ last season and had a 101 OPS+ with the Mets before the trade this season. If he can get back to that 100-ish number with the Brewers even better, he's not that far off in a small sample. I don't hate Hiura, I was all for using him to replace Winker much earlier on, I think he just got injured at the exact wrong time, a time when I think they may have finally have given him his chance. But I also don't think that the call ups the Brewers have made even before the trades are definitively wrong. If this thread has a flaw, and I'm on the side that believes it does, it's that folks arguing for Hiura aren't acknowledging the logic in some of those other moves. I understand wanting your guy, there are logical arguments to support Hiura, I just think it's evolved into a more emotional mindset as time has gone on.

    Meanwhile, the Brewers are 9-3 in their last 12 games, have scored 6 or more runs in their last 5 games, swept 3 of 4 series and are 13 games over .500. I don't understand the angst. Since the AS break the Brewers have one 4 game losing streak (3 of those against the Braves) and one 3 game losing streak against the Dodgers. Beyond that the Brewers haven't lost back to back games since July 4th and 5th. None of this screams, "We need Keston Hiura stat!"
  15. SeaBass
    I'd agree this would be a crappy reason to keep him in the minors if they've been using it as the sole and singular reason he hasn't gotten the call but the Brewers have had viable and very reasonable options that in my opinion mitigate that from being grievance worthy.
  16. SeaBass
    If it's just a September call up I wouldn't be holding my breath, they'll only get one extra position player. They've been cycling through Perkins (if healthy) and Toro enough to where I'd put my money on one of those guys ahead of Hiura. There's also Mitchell, Miller or Winker (if they're even going to bother with him), I think Hiura is being kept in the minors so that they can bring him back next year at a reduced salary like some have mentioned. If they otherwise would have no reasons for avoiding bringing him up I think he'd have gotten his chance by now. I don't think dumping Anderson or Rowdy makes a lick of sense JUST to make room for Hiura. I just don't see it happening. I'm sure that won't stop this thread growing another 10 pages over the next couple weeks.

    Does anyone think the Cardinals actually want to get back into the race? I'm sure they aren't thinking about a long term rebuild but they need more than just a few patches. I'd imagine that's one reason Wainwright is still being trotted out there to pitch. He's a warm body that can give them some innings while they go nowhere.

    Brewers may have good tv viewership but it's about the ability to sell commercials and how much they can charge for ad time. From what I remember the Brewers seem to run the same 4 or 5 commercials ad nauseum, that tells me businesses aren't breaking down the doors to get a commercial for their product added to the rotation.

    I watched the Vince Lombardi A Football Life documentary on YouTube last night. I'd seen it before years ago but it's enthralling. Glad I randomly re-watched it. One of the things that struck me about it that I hadn't really thought much about before was that he pretty much cemented his enormous legacy after only 9 seasons as a NFL head coach. 10 if you count his only season with Washington but let's face it he was already a made man by then. Yes, he'd had a long career in coaching but never as a head coach above the high school level until going to Green Bay. Imagine what he might have done if he'd had 15 or 20 more years. RIP coach.

    I saw this in a phone notification from the Score and researched a bit myself: Garrett Crochet was an 11th overall pick in 2020 for the White Sox and was called up that September without first appearing in the minors (since there was no minor league season that year). He pitched 6 innings in relief in 2020 and 54.1 innings in 2021. I'm not sure if the league used regular Sept call up rules that season and if records would count his call up amongst the fastest historically. Crochet hadn't spent any time in the minors until this season, he missed all of 2022 after Tommy John surgery and seems to still be dealing with some shoulder inflammation which has resulted in some rehab appearances in the minors. Edit: I guess it might not be fastest call up because his call up was around 3 months after he was drafted. But going straight from a draft pick to the big leagues despite the delay seemed interesting enough.

    You used the date of August 7. If a person was born on August 7, 1983 they would turn 40 on August 7, 2023. Given those parameters 1983 would count in the 40 year timeframe.

    Didn't we just score 2 runs?? Canha just hit a DP ball I'm pretty sure the results would have been the same.
  23. SeaBass
    Ridiculous. These guys aren't just in it for the money. It's all about showing what you can do as the person that calls the shots. He'll make his money as a side effect.

    Arnold is in charge of a major league team right now, why on earth would he leave to be 2nd fiddle again? And Stearns is such good friends with Billy Eppler that he's going to just replace him with Arnold?
  25. SeaBass
    You've a right to your opinion but stackng all your expectations on trade deadline deals is complete folly. The beginning of the season, or better put, the off-season, is when you want to see the big moves happen. I don't think adding prime Trout would make that much difference to this club than the guys they just got and it didn't cost them the next several years of sucking to do it.
