Fixed that for you. Thank u sir.
-
You could hear that coming. 9 pitch ab. Bote is one of those annoying guys that always come up big.
-
I'm dished out of this one. Sounds like Gio got the good stuff tonight! Good to see I mean hear.
-
Disappointing that Braun is out of any Cubs games. In any case would rather have Gamel in the lineup especially defensively. Hopefully Thames pays off.
-
It's countered by the sheer lack of other options. For some reason, this team believes Chacin is one of their 4 best starting options right now, yet Trey Supak looks like a AA Cy Young and can't even get a promotion to AAA. Maddening. So true.
-
Where is the accountability? Where is the accountability? Who is responsible for this mess? You cannot continue to run Chacin out there. In the words of Vince Lombardi what the heck is going on out here?
-
This answer doesn't answer the question asked. That being said my point is that Melvin took a different tack and was successful in bringing in a much needed stud starter. If you think Stearns is trying fine but we haven't seen any evidence of him getting the job done. The question is relevant given the results to this point.

Who is the best pitcher that David Stearns has acquired during his time as gm?? What does it say about him as a gm? I'm guessing it's Chacin? I for one don't think Stearns values pitching the way most GM's appear to. There has been a stunning lack of urgency regarding pitching since he has come on board. In fact it's possible it's going to cost them at least one playoff appearance. I compare this to Doug Melvin who isn't considered a pitching first gm. He went all in to acquire both CC Sabathia and Zack Greinke at times when he felt that the on field team was ready to win now and needed a boost on the mound. These acquisitions led to the only two playoff appearance in the Melvin era. Without question the Greinke price was a difficult one to pay but necessary. The contrast to the lack of action in the Stearns era on this front. It can be argued that the teams of the last two years may have been better on the field but lacking in that number one starter area. In fact Greinke was acquired despite the fact that Gallardo was considered a number one type talent. In my opinion Stearns needs to get more heat for the lack of pitching. He still has a week to go but he has shown zero inclination to pull the trigger on the pitching this team needs. Is this just a philosophy or just a byproduct of an industry that is changing? Thoughts?

Smith and Jackson will be on a plane to San Antonio tomorrow, so it shouldn't matter much. All kidding aside. Doesn’t that kind of suck for these guys. That’s got to be hard to perform when you are called up and sent right back down right away. It’s like you have no chance to settle in Yes it does. The Burch body language was of a guy who knew he was of a guy that knew he was being shipped out. It's got to suck.
-
Gotta think DS will sell if this happens.. Yeah but Cubs losing again keeps them 2 back. That's the shame of this season. Last year's team would be 7 games up.
-
The premise of this season's pitching decisions never made sense to me and I know some like myself said so before the season even started. It blew up on them and they never recovered. The end.
-
The body language is horrible. As horrible as his pitching.
-
I'm not ready to say sell but I sure as heck wouldn't be buying. This is one of those seasons where you just ride it out and see what you can do. Giving away anyone of any value to prop up this team is not worth it in my opinion.
-
We do and his name is Robert Murray Really?? I stand corrected.
-
Brewers one of the few that do not have a reporter from the Athletic. This needs to change. Competition is needed.
-
Sophia works for the brewers. She is an employee. This is why she can't ask tough questions. Not that Augie or Coushon would but still. I don't know how this is supposed to work if a third of the media coverage is brewers employees.
-
Drew Smyly situation is another Stearns question. The guy literally left San Antonio and won a big league start going 6 plus innings. I understand bad timing but what were the terms and why didn't we give him a shot here?
-
I think Rosiak had the gamer tonight for the JS. He's actually makes Haudricourt look like Bob Woodward. So true
-
And what is the consequences of a tougher media? Literally no one is showing up with pitch forks like they might in a Yankee situation, which is about the only market where a tough media might matter. Maybe Boston too. But my point is while it may make you feel better after a tough loss, a tough media really means didly poo. Not only that but CC gave his reasoning on it. You may disagree but I agree with his decision as I am sure others here do as well. Either way, I don’t understand some people’s fetish with a tough media. A tougher media helps to get answers and in depth reasoning behind the decisions being made. Counsell just waving people like nope that's dumb gives him an air of I don't owe the fans an explanation of why I did what I did. I think the paying public does deserve more answers than they have been getting. Even the packers media is tougher than this. Having a brewers employee ask the questions after games isn't going to do any investigative journalism.
-
Counsell just shuts down any questions with yes and no answers and the media just moves on. Hard hitting team of Adam Tom and Sophia the Brewers employee. Anyone can manage here. There are virtually no consequences regarding media questions. it is a joke.
-
I knew it. Winning run on base defense. Sad that Craig cannot think past the book.
-
Can they give Rock a headset to tell Counsell when guys don't have it??
-
I agree. I would have walked him but you certainly don't spin a hanger. Grandal knows better than anyone that he can't get a curveball down. He's right there catching him. I just don't understand that pitch selection given the situation. Brewers need anyone big time arm in the pen. if they can't find one this season will be over sometime in August.
-
I'm wondering if the Reds would have pitched to Yelich in the same situation the Brewers did Suarez?? I'm thinking no. Craig will say go ahead run on base?? That's dumb. Not really but I bet he will use that as defense.
-
I'm guessing the answer is none??
