    Ok. Then delete every post that says it's positive too? Do you not see any equity? If people are going to love a trade that we don't see any of the long-term benefits they shouldn't be posting either, which goes back to my previous point of this is a website to dissect the Brewers, Isn't it? If you want it to be the PR wing of the Brewers then maybe Brock can do a deal where Adam McCalvye-esque posts and articles are the only content allowed. Everyone join us at noon CST/CDT to sing the Brewers fight song.

    Now straw man arguments? utter failure? If you see bad and lousy as equivalent to "utter failure" I really don't know what to say.

    Good comment. What is really amazing to me (which I didn't know until the Cain DFA/retirement) is how much money the union collects and gives players for pensions. Do they really need to give Cain that amount of money as a 10year vet after making more than $90M in his career while not having a pool to cover injured players like Barker. Just crazy.

    This is just fascinating and a real example of the world we live in: Joe 1: I've got an internet connection and I can google! I'm an expert in anything! Joe 2: There are ways the experts do things that are different, here is what they do... Joe 3: You calling us "rubes" and we're "uneducated"? Sure True Blue has a delivery issue, but this is literally happening all over the internet all the time.

    You're posting on a Brewers fan website where every detail is minutely dissected and that's your pearl of wisdom?

    Does it matter what a few posters said about the Grisham trade in relation to this? Are they the same ones who are commenting negatively about this trade? From my fading recollection there's been many more positive Brewer fans commenting negatively about this trade than about the Grisham/Davies trade. Either way, a specific poster should be held to their history, not the history of others. I don't remember all my logic classes, but I believe the following fails: Some Brewers fans didn't like the Grisham/Davies trade. Some Brewers fans don't like the Hader trade. Since the Grisham trade was a positive for the Brewers, then some Brewers fans should withhold their comments on the Hader trade.

    I don't really want the city of San Diego or the Padres fans to fail. I do want Preller to fail as I think he's just a horrible GM, so for that to occur, the Padres need to fail. Conflicting feelings for sure. As far as the Dodgers loathing, I sorta get it, they are a huge market, have a huge advantage in the current baseball landscape and use that advantage. However, I admire their ability to consistently produce prospects that they can slot into the major league roster. If there's any single counter to the Brewers can't get elite prospects because they are too successful to be high in the draft, it's the results from the Dodgers. (And, of course, from our arch enemy the Cardinals.). The Dodgers are an extremely well run organization that has a financial advantage making them a formidable adversary. The Yankees have many of the same financial advantages, but not nearly run as well. I can't stand the Yankees (I'll remain silent about their fans in respect for a few friends who are Yankee fans) and hope they crash and burn every year. If we were nearly as smart as the Dodgers I would be really unhappy with their financial advantage,

    I guess that cut to the jugular that Cain took was near lethal. Sure, baseball CAN be cut throat, but it also can be respectful and 2 months isn't that long of a time to forget what the organization did FOR Cain when they would gain anything. Hardly cut throat.
  10. NBBrewFan
    Oh, I don't disagree with you and in no way think this was a good trade. My response was that the poster only had 2 possible outcomes and I presented a third. I think it was a horrible deal. That return is so meh that I really think there was a sell now order from above. What the reasons for that we can only guess. I really wonder (conspiracy warning) if Attanasio was unhappy with the accommodations the Brewers were making for Hader and when Josh decided that he would skip the All-star game that was the end for Attanasio.
  11. NBBrewFan
    Or, just off the top of my head, to get the best return you need competition bidding for the player. What other playoff team needed a closer at the Deadline? Only the Padres? I could be selling a Silver coin worth $50, but if the best offer is $35 I either sit and wait for another offer or I have to make the deal.

    The AAA Reds show up just in time for the Brewers to right the ship.
  13. NBBrewFan
    A team can't release a player in the offseason? I would guess that they can and would have the first day they needed to add him to the 40 if they chose to go that route, but as Outlander posted, they likely wanted to save a few $100K so they could eat salary for the Padres so they could acquire Soto and Bell.. Maybe the Stearns to the Mets rumors should be changed to Stearns to the Padres.

    It's really great having a website like brewerfanatic.com because without the posts here I NEVER would have known you have to make the playoffs to win the World Series. That really got me thinking that Nashville will never win a World Series while they don't have a major league team. There you go, I'm smarter than I used to be. You have to have a major league team to win a World Series (Poker and other sports aside), Second, I learned that the playoffs are just a crapshoot. I used to watch the games to see the outcome, but I've missed the crapshoot they do every series to determine the winner. Can someone share when and what channel the crapshoot is televised or do you need to be part of a special secret society? Is the crapshoot run by the Templers? The Freemasons?

    That 3D chess that Stearns is playing looks a lot like Checkers.
  16. NBBrewFan
    D. A GM who some claim to be one of the best can only add 4 RP at the trade deadline needs to be doing a lot better. He got Rosenthal off the IL, he couldn't add a 5th Relief Pitcher? Really weak Dave!
  17. NBBrewFan
    Not necessarily. He said "leave room to do things at midseason". Doesn't mean they will spend a ton of money or do anything more than a group lunch at ChuckECheeses (that's a thing).
  18. NBBrewFan
    So we just missed getting Soto by a Country Mile?
  19. NBBrewFan
    We used to queue up the "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" song when he was sighted (too infrequently pitched to make it worthwhile) then made a margarita to top it off.
  20. NBBrewFan
    After the last few years, I doubt AJ Preller would find Soto the first player he wouldn't overpay by a huge amount. The Padres will sell the farm to get Soto and probably extend him at a ridiculous amount.

    Rogers + Bush = Hader + back end of bullpen The difference from Hader to Rogers is being offset by an improvement in our cast for the 6th/7th innings. The hit we took yesterday to the teams current abilities were reversed by the addition of Bush, which to me was the reason I didn't like the Hader trade (we need to get better NOW/THIS YEAR, not 3 years from now when most of the good players are gone). Are Ruiz/Gasser better than Kelly? From all indications, yes so overall Sterns has shuffled the Major league deck and added assets to the prospect pool. Great. Now maybe getting a hitter would be nice.

    Oakland isn't a small market. They have small market owners with a crappy stadium in a bad location.

    2022 Qualifying Batters K% is predictive?
  24. NBBrewFan
    OK. That's enough. No reason to get out of a save situation and get the Rockies back into the game. Just end the 8th and it's Hader Time.
  25. NBBrewFan
    Thank God for the Rockies!
