  1. AA wouldn't be much different. They shouldn't have let him come out for the 4th. 95 pitches, 9 outs. Are they trying to mess with his health? High pitch innings are worse than the same number of pitches spread out over more innings.
  2. Ashby can't get the ball in the zone. 93.6 on a sinker for a LH starting pitcher is OK, but that lack of control is killing him.
  3. As soon as Woodruff was lost for the season, I wanted Burnes and Adames traded for market value or better. Of course I would have liked more than what they got--like if the two guys were a year younger, or they added a promising but flawed pitcher who played in A ball last year. But if we kept Burnes, all we would be getting is a draft pick for him. So the two players we got have to have more value in 2024-2029 than Burnes would have given us in 2024. That will likely be the case. We could end up huge winners. If we believe in our pitching lab, we'll definitely be big winners. Those of you who think we lost this on value don't know how players are valued. Of course, we should win on value because we gave up the biggest value player. Now let's see what we can get for Adames.
  4. Given how badly the top-winning teams are doing in the playoffs this year, in the future can we stop the posts that promote an "all-in or nothing" strategy instead of a "piece of the apple" philosophy?
  5. Obviously the chance of getting back to the playoffs will largely be dependent on the trades/signings they make. I don't know how aggressively they'll seek to trade our players in their last year of arbitration, or how badly Woodruff is injured. But yeah, if Woodruff will miss most of the season, and we trade Burnes and Adames and don't get back MLB-ready talent, there's no reason to keep Yelich, if they are offered anything close to being worthwhile. I just don't know how things will sort out.
  6. I don't think they'd need to pay any of his salary if they traded him to the right team. The bigger question is why would you trade him when he was one of only two players who hit well for a whole season?
  7. The answer to that is of course, "DUH!" A better question would be how many players, among Burnes, Woodruff, Adames, Santana, and Canha, can we lose and still be a contender?
  8. Perkins results against LHP is due to a tiny BABIP.
  9. At least Anderson had a nice last game. Wish him well. Not sure Donaldson is an upgrade, but the Brewers must know something I don't.
  10. You've identified the two problems. :-)
  11. how was Aaron Rodgers not the first 12 posted?
  12. It must be an extremely minor "sprain" or he wouldn't be pitching in his next start.
  13. Boy, other teams must be licking their chops at the possibility of facing Burnes, Woodruff, and Peralta in a short series. We do pretty well when those guys aren't starting.
  14. What are the chances he's in our system next year and eventually gets significant time in the majors? He's had an excellent year, though he's not young for his level.
  15. Is my memory off? I was thinking all the full-season leagues played around 144 games. Has that never been the case for A, A+?
  16. This is one type of "article" I like to see "published" here--presenting a little bit of research, even though I could have done it myself in 10 minutes. It has value. The problem is, the word count is about 4X what is needed, and the extra words hinder extracting the information from the story. Does Brock pay you guys by word count?
  17. Maybe. They have control of the situation now. If he rakes in spring training, it will be hard to send him down.
  18. Perkins injury is probably to blame, but keeping Wiemer on the ML roster to be a 5th OF is malpractice by they front office. They're losing a year of service.
  19. It would require a collapse from the Brewers or an incredible hot streak among the three teams currently vying for 6th seed for the Brewers to not make the playoffs.
  20. I don't know why Anderson isn't playing at all. At least theoretically he could hit again like he did at the beginning of the year, at least for a stretch. But if they aren't giving Anderson ABs, then . . . meh. . . why not?
  21. Bad timing of this "article." He's been 0-14 over his last 5 games. But he did provide a spark for a while. He's an interesting case. A guy whose prospect star dimmed, then made it to the majors where he's performed like an average starter. Proof that there are exceptions to players whose prospect status dimmed, who usually never make it back (unless an injury was the cause of their status dropping).
  22. there is none. irony1 | ˈīrənē | noun (plural ironies) the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect: Unless you have a very odd definition of "ace," or one of the other words I used.
  23. Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10. Cubs and Phillies are both 7-3. so yeah. . . Stop whining?
