Last time this situation came up I said that there was no way Hader would go both ends of the doubleheader. This board told me very adamantly that yes, he can. So I’m not commenting on this matter any further.

It's 5.72 I was pretty close. Rounding error. Happens to all of us.

He knows he has a DH and won’t be held to account. He's one of those guys you love if he's on your team, and hate if he isn't. Couldn’t agree more.

Someone needs to tell Yelich to stop going to lunch with Hiura. They are bad influences on each other.
-
Wow that was dumb. Glad it worked.
-
Cool, let’s capitalize on that E5.
-
Way too early for that. 3 of 5 from the Cards could still get them in.
-
At this point I think that if Hiura were at 1B, the throw to him would have been perfect and he’d have dropped it. He’s just having a bad year.
-
Hiura is making it very hard for me to continue to believe in him. That barely foul rocket last inning did help, though.
-
Nice work by Arcia getting that run back.
-
Nice at bat by the big guy. Good patience.
-
Well if he doesn’t snap out of it in the next 5 games, he’ll likely have the winter to work it out.

The problem is even given the benefit of hindsight, what moves should they have made this past offseason that were going to make a significant impact on the future? I think they viewed the Urias/Lauer trade as a move for the future, but it doesn’t seem like there were a lot of clear opportunities to add future value in low risk acquisitions. I didn’t even like the offseason, but when I try to draw up a better alternative it proves difficult. That’s a very fair point - I appreciate it. Since I have no idea what the actual market looked like last offseason (few of us do), the only counter I have is that they lost more assets than they seemed to want in return. From an outsider perspective it appears they were just trying to shed salary and hope they got lucky with some marginal FAs, and they lost. Since by most accounts they have the worst farm system in baseball, I’d have liked to see more forward looking moves. But I have absolutely no clue what those moves would have been. Thanks for the conversation!

Sky is falling! This past offseason was designed in a way to avoid setting themselves back for the future. They can simply discard a majority of the players they brought in this past offseason. They didn’t make any move that is going to sink them long-term, unless you think Yelich is going to fall off a cliff (which I’m betting against). I certainly don’t think Yelich will fall off a cliff. My opinion about the long term impact of the last offseason is simply that they didn’t make any moves that appear forward looking. If you aren’t building for the future now, then that future won’t come. Unless they get lucky in the FA lottery, which they appear to have lost the last time around.

Sky is falling! LOL. Not at all what I said. I said that I think this years team isn’t fun to watch, that their offseason acquisitions did nothing for the future and set them back in the present, and if they make the same mistakes ongoing they will be in the same situation. Where in there is the “sky falling”? I’m not an extremist. This team is just boring and bad. And a decent bit of the reason is the last offseason.
-
This team of mostly non-hitting rentals and strikeout machines (at the plate) is one of the more uninspiring ones the Brewers have fielded in the past decade. And that’s saying something. The past offseason looks to have set the team back a few years. And that really sucks, with the Yelich contract hanging over their heads. Maybe they strike gold this coming offseason. But if their player investment strategy doesn’t change, they are in for many more years of the same.

Jace Peterson is our player of the game. Wow.
-
Ballboy was the play of the game!
-
Welp.
-
Heck of a block there by Nottingham.

Welp.
