  1. If you haven't watched baseball since last October, then sure....
  2. Once again, I am not "defending" or "making any case for Winker". I am simply pointing out the illogic in you selectively dismissing A) Winker's much larger sample size of being an effective MLB hitter and B) Hiura's much larger sample size of being a poor hitter as a Brewer Winker received a grand total 166 ABs as a Brewer. Hiura averaged more than that from 2021-2022, a time period in which you persistently claim he was mismanaged and maligned while Winker got "All the breaks to a fault." Why did Winker get those 166 ABs in 2023 and Hiura received 0? Again, because Winker had a much better and more consistent track record of being a good MLB hitter than Hiura AND because Hiura got injured right during the pre-deadline period when they may have considered calling him up.
  3. If Winker played 1B, he would actually make some sense as an upgrade over Bauer and Black.
  4. I'm not "defending Winker". I'm just pointing out the flaws in Rick's logic if he's dismissing even more ABs of Hiura sucking here since 2019.
  5. We played the Braves in the postseason last year? Also, if you're using past seasons and this year, Winker has way more success as a hitter than Hiura....
  6. That two run home run was not a "very catchable ball".
  7. Taking the GG-caliber defender out of RF in "deference" to Frelick. Sigh.....
  8. And promptly goes down swinging on a 92 MPH 4 seamer at the top of the zone. The story of his career unfortunately.
  9. Thank god Brenton Doyle isn't out in CF tonight.
  10. I would say at minimum we need one more SP you're comfortable giving the ball to in a postseason series. Right now we have Freddy and......Love what Rea and Myers have given us, but the likelihood is that they'll get hit hard against postseason lineups. You can probably get away with one or two bullpen games a series, but no more than that. Eovaldi, Scherzer, Flaherty, Gausman etc. are all options that we should be looking into.
  11. Rea with the performance of legends tonight.
  12. They're definitely not that far removed. I can remember a Yelich trade call just this past offseason off the top of my head. Awesome how he's gotten healthy and back to his all-star self. A true Brewers legend. I personally think it would be fun if he got to do the Derby after he was forced to pull out back in '19. Only 8 HR this year obviously, but a lot of the big guns such as Judge, Ohtani, etc have already announced they're not doing it so you never know.
  13. And how do you arrive at that conclusion from my original point?
  14. I care about BA about as much as I care about gardening.
  15. He's also gotten less ABs than Sal Frelick during that timeframe. I'm not sure that's fine. 32 year old Christian Yelich, for example, hasn't gotten any days off.
  16. He's 20 years old and has had more off days than every primary starter, with the all-star break coming up in less than two weeks....Keep in mind, this is also the same team that refuses to give Adames and Contreras days off. Unless he is suffering after effects from those collisions, he should be in the lineup as the team's hottest hitter and one of its best fielders against a favorable pitcher.
  17. I don't know how you keep Chourio out of the lineup right now, but okay. Of course, I also didn't see how you could pinch hit for him the other night, so.....
  18. His bat plays better than Andruw Monasterio right now, which is all that matters.
  19. Definitely feels like Frelick at 3B is imminent.
  20. Civale’s solid peripherals have already been mentioned, but I love this deal even more if it means the end of Bryse Wilson in the rotation. Hard to imagine they’d cut bait with Keuchel after last night.
  21. A reverse unicorn with that ball being gone in 29/30 ballparks...
  22. Remember all of the handwringing over Chourio's defense? Also, there is zero reason to ever play him in LF in "deference" to Frelick. Might not happen until next year, but it's really only a matter of time until he takes hold of the CF spot.
  23. I wish I had any confidence in Keuchel in this ballpark with our struggles against the Rockies to cough up any less than 5 runs. Score, score, and score some more is the name of the game tonight.
