Very doubtful Dozier is coming here. I think people need to get that off of their minds; the center infield is set. Cant imagine doziers price being very high anymore, though. Some contender will get him, I cant imagine who

I'm much more open to the Archer trade than the Realmuto trade. The Archer trade is selling low on a couple spare parts, the big prize for them being Peralta. They are relatively weak in the outfield and could value Houser as a good piece for their radical pitching experiment. The Realmuto trade offers 5 very good prospects, all between 50 and 55 with varying upsides. I could see both sides not liking this. Miami isn't getting a headliner, and the Brewers are giving up a ton of depth and solid prospects for 1 player. I disagree with this perspective. I don't want Archer because I think he's overvalued by some, especially the Rays. He's good, but he isn't a true TOR starter, so even though the haul for Tampa is lower, I still would prefer to take Realmuto. I'd also do that trade in a heartbeat if we were able to. You take one of the weakest spots in the lineup, and transform it into one of, if not the, best players at his position in baseball. It would be a sky high upgrade, and you have him controlled for a long period of time.

How do we really know that degrom or Syndergaard are actually available? Reporters can make claims, which may be totally false, just to drum up excitement. That being said, if they are actually available, I'm all for it. They're great pitchers with control. Most of your prospects won't end up panning out into anything. Sell high on some guys and get a proven player. Archer I'm not interested in, I'll pass.

I'm a partial season seat holder and cant make it to this game. These tickets are club level with wait service. Section 337, row 1, seats 1 and 2. Looking to get $100 for both. No parking pass, live in west allis area. Can meet up with you wherever

Seems to me that multiple moves like that would end up clearing a good chunk of the farm out. Shaws value can't be that high to the point where he can be a centerpiece of a trade for Archer. I'm more hoping they end up trading Thames..

I think what I'm most concerned about is that people are okay with Thames playing RF regularly. He is not an outfielder, and some suggesting Shaw playing LF is ridiculous. We need to trade Thames for something, anything. Hopefully pair him with some package of prospects for some starting pitching, and I'll be happy. CF: Cain RF: Yelich 1B: Aguilar 3B: Moose 2B: Shaw LF: Braun C: (hopefully Nottingham, or someone better like JT Realmuto, who would be higher in the lineup) SS: (hopefully someone better than Arcia) P Would be my normal batting order

Also, does anyone get annoyed with how many times counsell says "uhh," or "umm" in his press conferences? No? Maybe it's just me..

Anyone else frustrated that kratz keeps playing as much as he does? I'd rather see Nottingham, and I dont think I really care if kratz is even on the roster or minors at all

Well, in my opinion, he is being undervalued by some as well. And for those that believe he is overvalued, it isn’t like it is just solely the fan base that is high on him right now: BP Mid-Season Top 50 Edit: For the record I wouldn’t even rank him nearly as high as BP just did, but I also wouldn’t bet against him developing into a good major league hitter. I dont think anybody was attempting to say he wouldn't be a good baseball player in the future. Just that hiura does not equal moancada, and Peralta does not equal kopech in trade value. Just was making the point that you shouldn't expect as big of a haul for those 2

As a previous poster in one of these quotes mentioned, we, like most fanbases, tend to value our prospects way higher than their likely outcome. Keston Hiura does not have the potential that Yoan Moncada has. Yes, Moncada is having a down year, but I'm pretty sure every high level exec would think his potential is higher. Also, Peralta is not Kopech, it's not an equal trade. Sale is a better pitcher, but the Mets are going to be looking for a higher price than what we'd be hoping for.

I'm not sure where to find this stat, but I feel like, just based off my watching them, the Brewers hitters take more 1st pitch strikes than most other teams in MLB, which ultimately will lead to their massive strikeout totals. That is a coaching strategy, being told to look to take the 1st pitch, by their hitting coach. There needs to be a new ideology put in place for these hitters to get their heads in a new place. Coles needs to go

I think one of my main moves would be to fire Darnell Coles

Not sure what pitch Yelich is looking for there. Gotta take the bat off your shoulders...

Ugh, is it just me, or does anyone else really not want to give up Peralta after watching him in the bigs a few times?

For both, probably all 10 of your top 10 prospects

I would classify Yelich and Cain as "sell out" moves. I guess I prefer to wait until Aug. 1 to judge Stern's performance during this season. He's made some nice depth moves grabbing Saladino and Miller. Thus far, I wouldn't consider yelich a sell out move. Brinson is playing poorly and you probably wouldn't have seen any of the other players in the bigs for a few years. We have a lot of depth in the minors to afford that. Cain was just money, that is never a sell out move. If an owner is willing to pony up some cash, that's always a positive in my opinion for a good baseball player, especially with the way cain has played this year. Giving up hiura, Peralta or Burnes would've sucked. Badly.

Ehhhh, I don't think I'm hoping to see him gone for long. The majority of players in baseball go through slumps here and there and hopefully this is just something temporary. He was so good last year consistently and maybe he just isn't seeing the ball very good right now. I'd like to see him back once he rights his ship and send Sogard to wherever he needs to go.

First game I've been to this year, AWESOME FINISH!

Nice win, but I see a downside. Now that counsell saw drake pitch well, hes going to have faith in him to pitch in a clutch spot, again..

1. Who cares what someone who doesn't even like baseball thinks? 2. I don't even know what this means, but that is what spring training is for. 3. Been this way forever, we just happen to have a bunch of guys banged up right now. 4. Maybe so but again this is the way it has always been, same thing for every sport 5. We are having a colder start than average this year, let's calm down. obvious solution is make teams build a roof Allow me to further explain each then: 1. Fans like high quality baseball with smaller DL lists 2 a pitching staff is managed very differently in April than it is 2 months from now - many believe a staff could use more time to develop roles and avoid injuries with an expanded roster 3. The 10 day DL is a relatively new concept and some organizations like MB, as has been noted here by the experts, has struggled managing this and all of the minor injuries these guys end up dealing with early in the season. 4. You don't think change is ever good? just do it because that's the way it always has been done, okay. What other sports play 6-7 days a week? 5. and finally yes we cant control the weather, but MLB can control the schedule. I see a few flaws with your proposals. First of all, the schedule won't shorten, baseball and all of the teams will lose money from ad revenue. Not gonna happen. Second, if you were to push the start of the season out, you're going to have even COLDER games, seeing as they'll play in December as opposed to April. I don't think anybody wants to see that. Third, I guess I don't know much about architecture, but I'm guessing it isn't that easy to just add a roof to any stadium. I think most teams want to add roofs to their stadiums, but it isn't an easy task to accomplish. They'll either need to pay upfront for the roof/stadium, or have to get approval for it from a township for a loan. That isn't easy, you're stuck with what you've got

Was a close call but I think it was pretty obvious that that was low, he has a legitimate gripe with that

One thing that has always amazed me is that the NBA playoffs stretch almost two full months. The playoffs start today, but will still be going on into mid-June. I will be watching the Brewers game in its entirety today, but then again I am not sure if I would watch the Bucks in an NBA Finals game over a Brewers regular season game. That's dedication, I just get more excited about playoff games. I enjoy brewer regular season games, but I just get amped up about the playoffs in any sport more

Guess I'm curious why MLB didn't reschedule a time for this game since the bucks start at noon too. Unfortunately, I think I prefer an NBA playoff game over the Brewer game lol

The Brewers dominated tonight. Anderson, Jeffress & Hader were lights out. Mets "fans" we're booing Matt Harvey in the 2nd Inning Interesting, obviously Harvey had such a huge year his one big year, and he's in a huge market, but I guess I'm curious why Harvey continues to be a large media spotlight. The last part of that thought is probably why, and I guess that is interesting. Players who do so well in huge markets get large spotlight, but a player like Josh Hader whose just been unbelievable in his time in the bigs doesn't get much attention. Maybe it's interesting to me because I'm annoyed by it haha, wish some Brewers players would get more

Didn't see the game tonight, but saw the box score. That was pretty refreshing to look at. First comfortable game we've won? Someone who watched it could let me know better if it wasn't as close as what the score said
