Cleanse this team with fire -
Yelich in the two-hole would have been twice as nice...

Atta boy, rook!

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.

Santana is literally the worst OF in the majors. He's piss poor. I wish they would have gotten more (even though I like Gamel), but I'm glad he's gone. I went down this road here before (with you?), but Santana is not that bad in the OF in my opinion ... they put him in LF in a new ballpark at the start of the season this year -- he had multiple errors; he's been fine since going back to RF. LF in Safeco Ballpark is rough for many guys from what I have read. Bottomline, Santana has 20 plus homeruns and 70 plus RBI ... hitting in 270's, 280's all season ... borderline all-star candidate again this season. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santado01-field.shtml Go there, look at those fielding numbers for either right field or left, and tell me how he’s supposed to be a serious outfielder for a contending club. Seattle isn’t contending, so they’re playing him in the outfield. He should DH all day every day for the rest of his career. There is no DH in the NL, and when the Brewers were playing him every day, it was when they didn’t expect to contend but unexpectedly did. And they missed the playoffs narrowly. Arguably, a better fielder out there may have made the difference. I will never regret the Santana deal, not for one moment.

It’s like almost everything you could want to go right went right last year, and now everything that you were hoping would go right is going wrong this year. They’re like photo negatives. And the longer this goes on, the more it feels like 2018 is the high water mark of the Stearns regime. I want this organization to be different, in the sense that I want to believe that scorched earth rebuilds aren’t necessary to be winners, but it’s getting harder and harder to believe it. When Chicago doesn’t even believe it, with all their resources, what chance does Milwaukee have? Ominous signs are these.
-
Gotta figure if they see absolutely anything from Faria or Black, they’ll make a move like that soon, but I should probably stop pretending like I know what’s going on. We’re all just along for the ride.
-
There are so many disappointments. You can argue every single hitter not named Yelich is worse than last year, and every single pitcher not named Woodruff is worse than last year. That isn’t survivable. A team like this needs growth, and there’s been none of it this year.
-
Hahaha, Jeffress! That’ll get this game turned off in my house.
-
I suspect we may think back on this year and realize the only silver lining was that Turang and Grisham didn’t get dealt, and Hiura got his break. Of course, now that I say that, Hiura boots another routine play. The horror, the horror...
-
The guy with a 6.10 ERA as a starter pitching in a pitcher's park? Most of our pitchers are anywhere between average and crap, and the guys we traded for fall into that same category. I'd pick up Chase's option next year, trade Davies, and keep Woodruff, Chase, Faria, Hader, Burnes, Peralta, Knebel, and gut just about everything else. To be clear, I’m advocating running him out there for the middle innings today, on the theory that he can’t be much worse than what Davies is giving us today. Not that he should become a starter or be brought back next year.
-
Yeah, he doesn’t have great location today, but even when he’s keeping it off the plate, the Cubs are barreling them up. I still believe he is a perfectly serviceable #5, but that is not how this season shook out, to say the least. And he’s slumping right now, for sure.
-
So, Drew Pomeranz, anyone?
-
Good grief. If anyone in the Brewers bullpen throws that pitch, it’s still flying. What a season...
-
This is like the urtext of sabermetrics. This is true, and it sucks. Well, sabermetrics is what it is (it can't suck, it's just numbers)...it's the truth that sucks and makes for boring baseball.[/quote No arguments from me on this point. I wonder how long it will take MLB to figure this out? It seems they can’t move past the “dingerz=eyeballs” business model.

[sarcasm]Oh, cool, so you sit in on the meetings with the hitting coach, then? What are those like?[/sarcasm] Good response. My bad. They have made strides and now are great in these spots. I’m just baffled when fans assume professionals who live and breathe this game—players and coaches—are doing nothing to work on the holes in their game. I mean, really? Complain about results, sure, but it looked like you were saying they were twiddling their thumbs in batting practice and pregame prep...

It just seems so odd that CC brassed it out last year against withering criticism for his unwillingness to deviate from the Hader plan, and he starts changing his tune now? Against the A’s? With Chicago looming? I’ve defended him at nearly every turn, and maybe he’s got numbers I can’t even imagine suggesting this was the play. Heck, maybe Freddie slipped in the shower this morning. But I don’t get this.
-
Hader has a legit problem. That’s going to torpedo this team, ladies and gents.
-
So, Hader for two, or just get the heart of the order and then hand it over to Peralta? Or...Pomeranz??? In all seriousness, I would dig Hader’s return to fireman role.
-
That’s why they got Pomeranz. Obviously.
-
Arcia injury watch: just fouled a ball off his foot. Got close to a galloping moose at short!
-
Ten-pitch at bat! Look at Shaw battle up there! He’s a savage in the box!
