  1. That a boy Yelich. Yet another failure. Hoskins with a little dinky fly ball. This pathetic offense is hard to watch. Hopfully they can keep it at one and get a couple in the ninth. Right now .500 would be very welcome.
  2. I don't think you're giving Brewer fans enough credit. IF the return was for immediate longer term offensive help, IF the return was for prospects in A-A+ I think you would be spot on. If the trade brought some of the offensive help they need, I believe almost all fans would understand. They realize the Crew is going nowhere this year. I think fans would turn out to see some of the exciting younger guys and a better offense.
  3. Sell-Sell-Sell. The Brewers chance of going to the W.S. is somewhere around 1/2 of 1%. Retool for next year and beyond. Peralta is obviously the gem and if traded, he has to bring immediate offensive help plus something else. I believe Milwaukee may opt to keep Quintana or Woody to go along with the bunch of young guys who are ready for their shot. Losing Peralta is ok if he brings help that is badly needed. I don't think Milwaukee will offer Hoskins a qualifying offer, so he is probably gone. If he brings something decent make the deal. Cortes and Civale won't bring much of anything.
  4. No way in the world I'd trade Lara for a rental like Kiner-Falefa. He would make little or no difference and he's gone at the end of the year.. I like Urias to the Crew, but I can't imagine the O's trading him for Black, especially with Westburg hurt. The guy I'd target is Josh Smith of the Rangers. He's a backup infielder for the Rangers and they have Foscue waiting in the wings. Smith comes with 3 more years of team control. He's not going to be a top five 3B, but he can give the Crew .260's BA/14-15 HRs/.730-740 OPS. He plays a good 3B and he can play any infield position.
  5. Can't wait for Perkins to be back. Churio with yet another error that could easily cost the Crew the game.
  6. When they needed Peralta badly, he turns in his worst performance of the year!. 100 pitches in 4 1/3 and walks in a run. He was completely off with everything. Great job by Anderson coming in and bailing him out of any further damage. Maybe the Crew can get to the Pirates' bullpen.
  7. Churio's 10th K in his last 15 ABs. He's 3 for his last 30. Yelich rolls over on yet another pitch. You can't blame Murphy for this pathetic offense. He's got the worst 3B in baseball, the worst SS in baseball, and his infield replacement hitting zero. Yelich below the Mendoza line as his DH, Churio in a horrific slump with no end in shight, and nothing in the minors that would help anytime soon.
  8. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Durbin and Collins prove me wrong. This offense is brutal to watch flail away, especially with RISP. It's long past due, but Arnold should be looking for bargain basement 3B instead of relief pitchers.
  9. Does Patrick have any kind of breaking ball. This is the first time I've seen him pitch and so far everything is hard and up. Cutter and what Rock said was a slider looks like the same pitch. Changeup is pathetic and same speed as cutter. Twins have to look for nothing but FB/Cutter, up in the zone. It makes hitting much, much easier when you know what's coming.
  10. Even if they could get Yelich to agree (extremely doubtful) to go to Colorado, the Brewers would have to throw in a boat load of cash to get the Rockies to make the deal. Probably nearly enough to pay Yelich's whole contract. This year McMahon playing in Coors: .212/6 HRs/11 RBIs/30% K rate --- Yelich: .211/7 HRs/26 RBIs/27% K rate. What would Milwaukee gain from the trade?
  11. 3B hitting 0.00 - SS hitting .170 - LF hitting .207 - RF hitting .129 - Catcher hitting .227.......Could this be one of the worst lineups in MLB this year?
  12. Contreras looks all screwed up at the plate right now. Yesterday's HR was his frst extra base hit since April 11. He's in danger of going below .230 very soon. With the Brewers' very deficient offense they can't afford this version of Contreras. It's time for Haase to play more and give Contreras more days off. I think the Durbin experiment has just about run it's course. He too is now south of the Mendoza line with the bat, has absolutely no power, and certainly not a 3B. Unfortunately there just isn't anything for Murphy to choose from to replace him. Dunn is really stinking it up in Nashville (.192) and Capra was DFA'd.
  13. That makes no sense. LF is the easiest field to play. CF the toughest. Chourio should be in LF or RF and Frelick in CF until they get Mitchell or Perkins back. This is the third game that Chourio's ineptitude has cost the Crew runs. That's on Murphy!
  14. It's embarrassing to watch. He's rolling over on just about everything and swinging as if he's guessing on every pitch. Brewers are stuck with him for 3 more years. Poor Murphy, he's got little he can do with what Arnold gave him and nothing in the minors to help the offense.
  15. Quintana picked a bad game to suck. Hopefully he'll come back next turn.
  16. This would almost be comical if it wasn't so pathetic. Two consecutive innings they couldn't get a ball out of the infield with RISP, then Hoskins whiffs on a ball a foot outside to end the inning. Capra hitting about .050 has to bat in the 9th because they have nobody else. You can't blame Murphy too much because this is what Arnold gave him to manage.
  17. You can't really expect too much from this team when they are 29th of 30 at 3B. Close to dead last if not there at SS and in the bottom 5 or so in CF. Add to that a very suspect pen and a defense tha has been not good as of late, and this is not a team going to make the playoffs unless something drastic happens. Perkins coming back could help a little, but he's about average offensively. There is no answer at SS and 3B right now. Arnold's "do nothing" plan in the off season is coming around to haunt the Brewers.
  18. Hoskins looks like he's lost up there. Guessing on every pitch. Collins is around until Perkins gets back. I don't know how Murphy is doing it! The starting pitching is a wonder each day, the black hole at 3B remains a big problem, Hoskins has to be one of the worst if not the worst 1B so far, Contreras and Yelich under .200. Yet they still have a winning record!
  19. On paper to me this looks like the Brewers got swindled. Our #7 PLUS int. money PLUS a PTL for a guy who is below average with a low ceiling. Maybe the Brewers see something they think they can work on with him. I guess he can't be much worse than what they've gotten from Rodriguez and Thomas on the mound.
  20. Contreras looks like he's guessing on every pitch. His swings are awful. Time to end the Rodriguez experiment and DFA him or send him down to do mop-up in Nashville.
  21. This looks like a different take on cupping the bat. Cupping the bat top does the same type thing. Increases swing speed and puts more density at the sweet spot. The torpedo effect allows for an even bigger lessening of the bat top.
  22. With revenue sharing there should be a minimum floor in MLB. However, the players' union can't have it both ways, no cap but a minimum floor.
  23. All players are told, once you reach 1B safely the orange base is out of play, as if it doesn't exist. It's like the dirt on the infield.
