    Let’s go win a series now. We remember what that is, right?
  2. Brewcrew82
    I get it. But it's as good as it's been since 2019 right now so that's a reason to hope.
  3. Brewcrew82
    He's striking the ball well. Just not getting the results once in play.
  4. Brewcrew82
    I don't think we need three separate Keston Hiura threads...
  5. Brewcrew82
    Negative WAR since rookie season...You can't get around that. "Jerked around" is simply BS. Brewers gave him EVERY opportunity in 2020, 2021, and then last year, he was inserted into the everyday lineup for a month despite an unsustainable 41% K rate and he predictably proceeded to OPS below .600.
  6. Brewcrew82
    Turang has been really good this month. I would have put him in the order in place of Miller. Winker for Voit, who does nothing unlike Winker who at least makes contact and gets on base. Yelich Contreras Adames Tellez Anderson Winker Taylor Turang Wiemer
  7. Brewcrew82
    I'm willing to wait another week or so, but the Voit experiment has just about run its course. I think we could find Keston enough PAs even with Winker.
  8. Brewcrew82
    Jerked around? He's been worth a negative WAR since his rookie season...Keston has been the author of his own misfortunes. He also has the opportunity to be the author of his own redemption.
  9. Brewcrew82
    Yeah, substitute Keston for Voit on the 26 man and the 40 man. Winker still has time. Voit does not. It couldn't hurt us.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Boy, if Yelich could start getting results in line with his expected stats, we'd be closer to getting our money's worth than ever before...
  11. Brewcrew82
    And my fears have been confirmed. Lineup set-up as if we're facing a lefty starter...
  12. Brewcrew82
    Opener.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Jacob Misiorowski, you're our only hope...
  14. Brewcrew82
    I really hope CC doesn’t pull out the typical lefty lineup considering this guy is going to be an opener…
  15. Brewcrew82
    If there's one thing Jesse Winker has zero issues with, it's putting the bat on the ball.... Also, Wiemer has produced the exact same bWAR as Renfroe. Renfroe is what he is at this point. FWIW, one of the guys we got for him has been a huge help out of the bullpen so far.
  16. Brewcrew82
    2022 and his start to this season have been huge outliers from a slugging perspective (though backed up by batted ball metrics). It's important to remember that he had two separate injuries last year and is coming off neck surgery this year, which can take time to recover power. He's also only 29, which is not generally an age where players fall off the face of the earth (though he could be an exception) Do I think this can go on forever? No. But his .355 OBP (2nd on the team) is still quite valuable for a team that has otherwise struggled to get on base. He doesn't have forever, but I don't think he's running out of time just yet (at least a month). He's had less than 30 games... Voit is the one whose time is running out. DFA Voit, call up Hiura, and rotate him at DH/1B/LF to see if he's truly turned the corner. If he has and Winker is still showing no power, then go ahead and DFA Winker and make him the regular DH.
  17. Brewcrew82
    I'm interested in giving the guy one more chance. His quality of contact has always been elite and the slightest bit of improvement in contact % would make him worth rostering. But if he falters again with a 40% K rate, then, yeah he won't be missed much.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Why should we have banned shifts in the first place other than nostalgia? A lot about baseball is based on tradition and "nostalgia"... As for reasons other than nostalgia, it would arguably lead to more hits and more runs. More hits and runs=more entertainment/fun. And if you're going to ban shifts in the first place, you might as well go all the way. Your attempt at a "when I was a kid" slight was pretty hilarious and brutal, too.
  19. Brewcrew82
    I'm 26 FWIW. Based on your username, I'm guessing you're 2 years (or about) older than I am. Give me a reason why we should even have umps calling balls and strikes other than nostalgia....
  20. Brewcrew82
    When I was a kid? I'm almost positive I'm younger than you...Sheesh. Just take a deep breath.
  21. Brewcrew82
    "Happy medium" vs. bring back spitballs, eliminate the DH, lol Definition of a strawman argument.
  22. Brewcrew82
    I certainly think there's a happy medium that can be struck where you can play no doubles defense yet not be able to line up directly behind 2B. It's not like that was the default situation for the entire history of the game until recently anyways.... What's the point of a shift ban if you can still employ a de facto shift?
  23. Brewcrew82
    Of course Turang would be more valuable. But the fact of the matter is that Turang isn't at that point yet, neither are any other of the alternatives. Taking a .355 OBP away from the lineup without a proven alternative is risky business. Why I want to see if Hiura's actually become playable before jettisoning Winker.
  24. Brewcrew82
    NBA has a restricted area. Wouldn't be any sillier. While for me personally it's an issue of the integrity of the game, at the end of the day for MLB, it's about money and entertainment. Hits and runs are a lot more entertaining.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Meh. Baserunners, even slowpokes like Winker, are still quite valuable when you've got Willy, Rowdy, and Bill coming up in the order. Certainly better than Ks and no-baserunners which is what we've gotten otherwise. Frelick is the only one I'd rather have at the top of the order, but he's weeks away from being an option.
