You thought wrong because you assumed my throwaway comment about CC possibly leaving due to knowledge Mark A is selling meant that I was changing my timeline. And I linked my comment showing it doesn't impact the timeline at all. To me, it's really about (and has always been about) having the stadium funding deal done. Again, I'm sorry this speculation has harmed you so much. -
You thought wrong... Ya know for someone seemingly so offended by someone's personal speculation to the extent you've stalked me now 3 separate times to combat it, you aren't very good at remembering what it was that was speculated. And as also speculated if Mark A had let it be known possibly 1-2 years back to people in the Brewers organization his intent to sell once the future of the stadium was locked up, it would actually align well with recent departures and Counsell's non-committal. I'm sorry that my own musings of how well positioned the team would be to sell once the stadium deal is complete, offends you so much.
-
Maybe Counsell wants to wait and see who the new owner is No different than speculating on if he hates Stearns, loves Arnold, hates Arnold, or loves Stearns

One at bat and injured again, don't think we'll have to worry about Winker anymore
-
I get it with Winker but the real pessimism should be how bad the whole team is vs Gallen. They need to squeeze out any decent matchup they can get against him. Just hope Winker has one good game in him. It might be his only start of the postseason regardless of advancement.
-
I wouldn't guarantee it but yeah I'd bet on Winker being the DH in the lineup tomorrow
-
The sample size is extremely small but that has never stopped Counsell before. Winker is on the roster so he can be in the lineup tomorrow vs Zac Gallen whom he's reached base on 3 out of 4 ABs. The Brewers as a team have really ugly numbers against him. Mitchell is one of the few who also had good ABs vs Gallen so it must be the hesitancy to slide with him is all I can come up with.

Woodruff may be out for the playoffs
True Blue Brew Crew replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
How often do playoff teams have a surprise major injury on the eve of the first round? Two times in a row for the Brewers doesn't seem fair. -
Uhh, this quote from Attanasio isn't reassuring at all... https://theathletic.com/4918707/2023/10/02/milwaukee-brewers-success-mark-attanasio-playoffs/ Mark talking about CC contemplating challenges elsewhere doesn't seem to be something that would be said out loud with no basis
-
The Bucks flaws on offense have stopped their playoff runs for the entirety of the Giannis era save for one season when they made just enough plays of defense, led by Jrue and Tucker, to squeeze out a title. You could either keep trying to thread that needle or you could become a undefendable juggernaut on the offensive end by acquiring a closer who needs to be guarded out to 30 feet and opens everything up in the paint for your franchise player. Doesn't seem like a tough call at all. This is a much easier path than needing to make outrageous defensive stops in the final minute of multiple games.
-
Marlins might just slide right past the Dbacks and leave the Brewers with a matchup vs Arizona. Miami holds the tiebreaker between the two. And suddenly the Reds are in the picture as well

2023-24 Offseason Ideas

Nice to have company on this wagon -
Turns out Allen got injured in practice this week and almost didn't play. They eased him into the game and left it up to how he felt in determining how much action he'd get. But by all means, don't let that stop anyone from jumping to wild conclusions about transferring or not being able to play in the NFL.

We'll see soon enough

If this goes through, you've got a stable, modernized stadium through 2050, a top 5 farm system, a winning ballclub, and only one bad, long term contract on the books. And you're an owner who last week more than doubled your stake in a soccer team, with an eye on soon acquiring a controlling interest. Hard to imagine a more opportune time to exit from one and cash in, while setting your sights and primary focus on your other new toy. It doesn't make much sense for a guy who is already way, way down the pecking order in MLB wealth to further dilute himself by investing in another sports franchise and spreading yourself that much thinner as opposed to simply pouring additional wealth into your first endeavor. At least, much like Herb Kohl, you've secured the team's future in Milwaukee before ending your run. Right down to committing some of your own dollars to the team's future stadium situation upon your exit. Here's to hopefully deeper pockets taking the reins.

2023-24 Offseason Ideas
True Blue Brew Crew replied to jay87shot's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
So let's say the Brewers trade Burnes in the offseason and then are in 2024 playoff contention. Come the July trade deadline, the young bats have blossomed, the young rotation replacements have held their own, and it's said loudly by fans and pundits, that they're just a top end starter away from being a serious WS contender. They consider making a CC Sabathia type move and the price is 2-3 top prospects for a rental. Wouldn't it have just made more sense to hold on to Burnes and not have to trade away a handful prospects on par with the ones who just got when you traded Burnes prior to the season. Since the Brewers still look to be competitive in 2024, there's an argument to be made that keeping him (and Woodruff) and getting draft pick compensation between rounds 1 and 2 in the 2025 draft, is a sensible option. -
I don't know, but their collapse as well as the drop off by the Marlins, has significantly increased the Brewers chances of making the playoffs. If the Cubs (or Reds) pass them in the division, the Brewers are still well positioned in the WC race assuming they're passed in the division because either the Cubs or Reds go on a tear, and not because of a collapse of their own by the Crew. In a short period of time, the amount of wins needed to snag that last spot has dropped from a projected 86-87 to now 84. And the Brewers postseason odds are now up to 82.7% (59.6% to win the division).
-
They must feel good enough about Blalock that they anticipate adding him to their 40 man roster this winter. Or they think since he's still in high A that he'll go unselected in the rule 5. But if they leave him unprotected and he gets picked they'll have given Urias away for nothing. Something to watch
-
I'm sorry but these articles have to get better
-
The Brewers control Peralta through 2026 with the team friendly extension he signed in 2020
-
It's funny that you mention the Braves in the 2nd sentence after "World Series here we come". Because Santana and Canha are exactly the types of low cost players the Braves traded for in 2021 when they won the World Series. The Braves at the 21' deadline were very much like the 23' Brewers. A team in contention but clearly not in anyone's argument as a WS favorite at the time. With 6 playoff spots you don't go "all-in" any time you're simply in the playoff picture. Some years you patch holes at low cost. This is one of those years.
-
MLB.com has them as the Cubs #14 and #16 prospects. No matter what way you slice it, the price was considerably steeper than what the Brewers paid for Canha (Jarvis #30). https://www.mlb.com/prospects/cubs
-
Cubs gave up their #14 and #16 prospects which is a stiffer price than what the Brewers parted with for Canha who conceivably could outhit Candelario down the stretch. I'd much rather make the Canha deal than what the Cubs just did.
