I think someone said 6 from Priester and 3 from Ashby in yesterday’s game thread. Filling in for Hall but like opposite day. 😀
-
I keep looking at Ashby’s ERA with disbelief, feels like he gives up runs every outing. Hall not as much but I still don’t trust him either. Sort of head scratcher when you watch the movement on Ashby’s pitches.

Thanks I see now, hamstring…

Wait, what happened to Chourio?? Miss a month???
-
Ortiz was traded for Schoop.

Trap series for sure. Crap…

I think Suarez value may be comparable to Machado in 2018 who we were all interested in at the time. Machado was younger and more highly regarded but Eugenio's big season probably makes up the difference. Looking back Dodgers gave up 5 prospects including a top 100 guy in Yusniel Diaz. he didn't pan out but Baltimore has gotten 5 WAR out of Dean Kramer. We didn't have the prospect depth the Dodgers did back then but we could easily come up a package that matches that. Ideally, Zona wants a controlled advanced SP and Myers, Henderson, or Gasser could be the big piece of the trade. That may be the advantage we have over other suiters. It's 2 months, I don't really think Durbin is an issue. He will still get playing time and will be back next year.

Sad day for rock and roll. Wish I could have went to Birmingham for final show.

Just thinking last night about this after reading the Cubs may be favorites to land Suarez. Cone put Toronto over the top in what was a memorable season for Brewers and at the time it seemed like big market team squishing the little guy. Looked back last night and realized that it happened Aug 27 so Brewers could have blocked it by claiming him off waivers? Oof, those were pre internet days so I wasn't really aware of those rules. Unlike Suarez we didn't need Cone that year but seems like it would have been worth preventing Toronto from acquiring him. Maybe the trade deadline was different then. Edit: Further research says Canseco was traded Aug 31 that year so that must have been deadline. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/06/remembering-the-1992-trade-deadline.html

It’s weirdly a tight market for bats and he is the biggest realistic get. We certainly have the ammo but I would agree none of the top 5ish prospects. We are deep enough to compete for a 2 month rental without giving up that much. I just really don’t want to get booted in a 3 game series again because bats go cold and we don’t have enough power to match the big money rosters. It’s tough to see at the moment with a winning streak but we still need him.

Seems reasonable as some were speculating $25 million + per year. There goes the Jaire savings.

Yet the front page of ESPN MLB has a midseason article that puts the Brewers in the 2nd tier of contenders, behind 4 teams with a worse record now. The weird thing is they don't even explain why they are in tier 2, just because they are the Brewers I guess: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45762612/mlb-2025-second-half-preview-rankings-playoff-odds-all-30-teams

I think most would agree that not consistently getting deep in games has kept him off that top level and he does trail the top guys in IP again this season. That said, he is on pace for a 5-6 WAR season and that would be ace level in my book.
-
I think he has won 6 straight starts and has been a huge part of the teams surge to the top of the NL. I am not sure even us brewer fans are giving him enough love for the season he is having.
-
Gah, bullpen has seemed shaky but then I always think that and Uribe/Megill have been lights out the last week or so. Going to have to rally, hate to let these games get away, still mad about the Colorado game.
-
It does seem like such a small sample size should be disqualifying. But he started his career with 11 no hit innings and beat Skenes and Kershaw and they want to draw eyeballs. He is almost sure to get an inning, I guess this will push him back in rotation and is a roundabout way of keeping his innings down. Happy for him, he is so fun to watch.
-
We have a string of them lately where we can’t find anyone who doesn’t stink that day, Cubs then Twins and now this. We won those first 2….

Jacob Misiorowski gets the call to the show!!!
OldHeidelberg replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Thanks, for some reason I assumed his place on the all time list thing just got discovered on Wednesday so didn't look back further in the thread. It really is crazy how many he is throwing but at least Hunter Greene is another young phenom so maybe they are the first couple of a whole bunch of young starters throwing 101+. I totally get what you are saying, but I am just going to tell myself Jacob is a freak and will never have a serious injury. 🙂 -
What's Your Durbin Mid Season Evaluation
OldHeidelberg replied to Turning2's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He has earned the job, at least for now. I sort of thought he was brought up because they needed a better bat but his defense has been solid, at least according to bref. He has been hitting better recently and you would like to think he has some upside there. -
Jacob Misiorowski gets the call to the show!!!
OldHeidelberg replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I read a couple of posts about this in the game thread yesterday, my first thought was sure, but the climb will get steeper. He probably will get hurt but in this spin rate era is it really that unheard of anymore for a guy to keep doing that? He is a very tall guy. If anyone has the list off the all time 101 pitches please post it, I would think deGrom for one might be up there and he made it a while before getting hurt. -
If he stays white hot he will certainly play his way in. In the end I think his contract will be a lot like Braun's last deal, injuries will drag down the overall value we get but he will be a productive player when out there. At least he doesn't need days off all the time like Braun did and he seems to be settling into a DH role that wasn't available for Ryan.
-
He has really dug himself out of a horrid start very quickly.
-
It was a long shot but still a shot, we were up 8 runs. It’s no big deal, I am sure they asked him how he felt about it.
-
I mean he had a perfect game going, he was going back out there.
-
It’s not like he was throwing no hitters in the minors, he will take his lumps in the majors soon enough, but damn this is still fun!
