    Let Bauers go and put the money he's going to get towards extending Contreras. This was Bauers' only good year and throwing a lot of money at him is risky. Vaughn and Adams/Fischer could handle 1B. Get 3B Casey Schmitt from S.F. for Williams-Hardin-Dinges. Schmitt has 3 years controll and no place to play in S.F... In his walk year he could be traded and Pena comes up. Schmitt has power to offset the loss of Bauers and is very good with the glove. Made (hopefully signs a long term deal) goes to AAA and replaces Turang after 2027 when Brewers trade him. Made can be called up in case of injuries. Get Detmers from Angels for Sproat-Ortiz-Uribe-Burke....Angels get youth they need. Detmers gives the Brewers the #3 they need. Gasser at #4 and Harrison/Priester/Crow/possibly Woodruff ($3M "showme" contract) fill the #5 spot with others going to long men in the pen. Keep Megill to have the lockdown closer. Uribe was inconsistent and Ashby has taken over the setup role. Hall-Drohan-Patrick-Zerba/Romero pickup the earlier innings.

    Gasser was fantastic. Uribe was beyond horrible. Can't blame Murphy for the terrible ABs that the Brewers have had so far. Too many whiffs kills an offense. You can only hold down a very good offense like the Dodgers' for so long. It's time for the Brewers' offense to start hitting.

    What the heck is going on with Ortiz. He's right back to the early season form. Swinging at balls in his eyes. 1 for 14 with 6 whiffs in the playoffs.
  4. wntrtxn21
    Hamilton is a very good bench, utility guy. Capable of filling in when needed and a definite threat when he's on base. He's not a gold glove type at any position, but decent enough to get by when called upon. Playoff teams need his type of player.

    I would like to see the Brewers make a play for Casey Schmitt of the Giants. He's a 3B with power and a good glove. 3 years control. The Giants have Chapman at 3B through 2030 and they have Marcelo Mayer who can play 3B. With Turang gone after 2028 (and a very possible trade candidate after 2027) there is a spot for Made and it would allow Milwaukee to trade Ortiz. Thoughts??
  6. wntrtxn21
    Ortiz looked like he didn't a damn. Swings at a ball almost over his head, takes strike 3 right down the middle, smiles and walks back to the dugout.

    The Padres and Dodgers have exposed Miz and his weakness. A lack of a reliable second pitch and no changeup. They are taking a play from the Padres' playbook and just trying to make contact on the high fastball knowing he doesn't have another pitch he can control. Of course when you throw 21 straight fastballs and 28 out of 30, it tells the Dodgers they really don't have to look for anything else. With 42 pitches in the second, Miz will have a hard time making 5 innings again.

    With the uncharacteristicly bad defense and key hitters coming up missing, it amazing Milwaukee still is in the series. Pratt's eractic miscues have been costly. His infield teammates have also been weak at times. They can't keep giving runs away with what should be a strong part of their game. To many hitters in the lineup aren't putting up competitive ABs.. Bauers, Turang, and Mitchell have been terrible. The three together are 5 for 33 with 15 Ks and no RBIs. (Bauers 2 for 11 with 6 Ks and no RBIs. Turang 1 for 11 with 3 Ks and no RBIs. Mitchell 2 for 11 with 6 Ks and no RBIs.) The great thing is that even with the bad defense and lack of hitting by key players, the Crew is still leading in the series. If they really tighten up the defense and get the bats going, they can win and move on. This is the year the mighty Dodgers are beatable! The W.S. is definitely there for the taking.
  9. wntrtxn21
    I wonder how many of Mitchell's 170 some Ks have been called 3rd strikes.
  10. wntrtxn21
    Yelich chokes again, just like he has in every playoff game since 2018. Contreras has to be better/
  11. wntrtxn21
    When all the announcers and everybody in the crowd knows he should stop throwing the cutter/slider, it's amazing frigging Contreras and Miz can't figure it out!
  12. wntrtxn21
    Whiffs are alarming lately. 45 Ks in the last 30 innings. Bauers 9 whiffs in his last 15 ABs. Mitchell 9 whiffs in his last 16 ABs and Ortiz 9 whiffs in his last 19 ABs. Runs are down along with the big jump in whiffs.
  13. wntrtxn21
    I look at Drohan and Patrick as bullpen guys. Maybe openers if needed, but not full time starters. They both have added value to the pen this year. Gasser looks to be the #5 to start the sason. Hopefully Preister can come back and be servicable. Who knows about the head cases (Sproat and Harrison) but you can't count them out. Crow and possibly Hardin are in the mix. Woody is a very outside chance as a #4-5/Pen type. Milwaukee definitely has to get a veteran in a trade or FA for the #3 spot. The have plenty of pieces in the minors and I'd include Frelick, Ashby, Sproat, and Harrison to make deals for a SP. Obviously everything now depends on the new CBA.
  14. wntrtxn21
    Getting concened about the huge number of Ks the Brewers are putting up going into the playoffs. 28 whiffs in their last 19 innings. For a team that doesn't have a lot of power, they need to score runs by putting the ball in play.
  15. wntrtxn21
    Let some other team pay the high price for the disappointment. Brewers can find somebody else in the off season. Who, I don't know, but that may be a topic for discussion.
  16. wntrtxn21
    Going into the playoffs I believe the Crew might keep 13 pitchers on the playoff roster because of the questionable starters which means some bullpen games. Right now I think Gasser is their best third option for the playoffs. Harrison is done for this year. Hopefully he can come back next year and be what he was at the beginning of this year. Drohan looks like a pretty good pen guy, who knows about Sproat, and Preister may come back in 2027 and be a viable option. Either way the Crew needs to look for a legit third starter for next year.
  17. wntrtxn21
    When Murphy is looking for post season pitching things are getting jumbled. Sproat is out for sure. As horrible as Harrison has been, he is highly questionable. Senzatela is on the bubble. He's either good or awful. Can they trust him for the playoffs? Either way he's gone after this year. Drohan's last two outings are certainly not encouraging. Stallings has looked good, but he's a low leverage guy at best. Wilson, Anderson, and Koenig are possibilities but not locks.
  18. wntrtxn21
    I don't see any way the Brewers offer Bauers a QO. He's been pretty much a journeyman 1B before this year with a career .223 BA/717 OPS. The most he's ever made was this year at $2.7M. This has been a career year for him, but he'll be 31 next year. I could see something like 3 for $24M - $27M.

    The kid just looks over matched too often at the plate. When you have absolutely no power you have to put the ball in play.
  20. wntrtxn21
    Just let Turang sit for a while! 8 whiffs in his last 13 ABs. Brewers 24 whiffs in the last 17 innings. OMG! One of the slowest runners in baseball just scored from 2B on a wild pitch! It looks like the Crew didn't want to come out after the rain delay. I'm hoping for a much better effort from everybody tomorrow.
  21. wntrtxn21
    Especially after throwing 19 pitches last night. This is entirely on Pancake.
  22. wntrtxn21
    22 whiffs in 16 innings so far in this series. What happened to putting the ball in play especially with RISP.
  23. wntrtxn21
    To be fair, an old lady with a limp running backwards would give those three a good race.
  24. wntrtxn21
    How many times this year has Yelich whiffed on that exact same pitch.
  25. wntrtxn21
    You're right. Vaughn has to be in the lineup more. Turang has to be hurt the way he's playing. 2 for 16 with 7 whiffs in the series. They need him healthy (or as close to it as possible) for the playoffs, so sit him for a while. Hopefully Bauers can get the bat untracked. He's getting on base with walks, but the hits and RBIs aren't there right now. I don't know what to think about Rollover. He looks good for a couple of games then goes right back to little weak grounders.
