  1. Yeah I edited it after making the post. Sentiment still seems to ring true however.
  2. That was a very impressive 8th inning. Looks like a team that is already making their off-season plans.
  3. I figured I was probably in the minority, and likely am, but I hate them myself.
  4. Kind of similar to 2019 actually. He was sent down for about 3 weeks after a solid start because the Brewers FO just couldn't give up on a worthless Travis Shaw. They had to protect their organizational depth or whatever the spin was. We went 9-12 during his time he was sent back down and I still believe that was the reason we did not win the division that year.
  5. I know you're more aggressive with two outs but I'd say being out by 10+ feet would indicate that wasn't the wisest send.
  6. I'm definitely ready for a change at manager. Might not end up being a good thing but I'm sick of him.
  7. I would say there was a 1% chance he lost contact with the base for an instant with the glove on his leg. So that means there was a 99% chance he was safe. Does it still make sense to go with what was called on the field in that case? Of course not.
  8. Generally, I'd lean towards the sustainability versus all-in approach. However, at some point, I think you have to try for the latter on occasion. The Packers, to me, have had as their goal, winning the NFC North, not winning the SB. With Rodgers in his prime, adopting the all-in approach, which I don't think they have ever done, might have led to more SB appearances. The Brewers are currently in a Rodgers-like scenario with an elite pitching staff. I think the time to go all-in, or at least somewhat, was last year's trade deadline or the offseason. They either didn't want to do it or couldn't because MA wouldn't let them. I'm not sure this team was one that could have been significantly improved to make a difference. If the three moves they did make were the only ones they were going to make, I think I would have preferred them to do nothing. I personally would have looked to trade Hader the past two years. But with his value declining as he gets closer and closer to free agency, again not sure now was the time.
  9. Bush is also a guy that has an ERA of 4 since 2017 and a FIP higher than that. He also hasn't pitched for a team with a winning record in that time. So very low pressure situations from a team standpoint. I could just as easily see him pitching awful the rest of the way.
  10. I was pretty surprised when I saw him get that contract as well. I was also stunned the penny-pinching A's gave him $11 million last year. Nice to be him.
  11. Bell and Soto to the Padres. Can't wait to see what that haul is. Second time Nationals have paired guys in trades. Sure would seem like they would maximize their returns by splitting them up.

  13. All unearned but sometimes you have to pick up your fielders too and Ashby hasn't done that.
  14. Haven't updated my list in a little bit, but for the first 25 years or so of Baseball America top 100 prospect lists, over 95% of hitters made it to the majors. Even slightly higher of course for a top 50 prospect. Netting two top-50 prospects for Castillo seems like a pretty fair return to me.
  15. Benintendi will probably find his power stroke now that he's playing for the Yankees ala Matt Carpenter. Probably a player not worthy of returning a top prospect so quantity over quality isn't a bad way to go for KC. I actually prefer Sikkema over Way.
  16. I got lit up for saying I had seen enough of him in his first start. Seems like quite a few have come around to that feeling. No velocity, no command, no movement, no third pitch. Just don't see anything to get behind.
  17. Is it possible for a RF to make a worse throw?
  18. Who's got 6:00 in the pool for when this game is ending?
