IF the Crew can win tonight and finish the sweep tomorrow, they'd be up 5.5 games(essentially 6) with 16 to play. THERE is YOUR dagger folks. Brewers just go 8-8 in those 16 that means the Cubs would have to go 14-2. 100% NOT happening. Period. Heck let's look at it further, even if the Brewers went 6-10 in those 16, the Cubs would still have to go 12-4. Again, NOT happening.

Wait....Turang struck out, against a lefty no less?? I mean, what a complete shocker. So shocking in fact, no one saw it coming. He is going to end up costing them a playoff game(s) with his never ending devotion to Brice "no hit" Turang. You're in the middle of a pennant race, you play the bats...period. As I said, this is NOT hard, Monasterio is your everyday 2nd baseman, and Donaldson your every day 3rd baseman. No exceptions. I would rather Brian Anderson be in the lineup then Turang. In all my years of being a baseball fan, one of my biggest pet peeves has always been light hitting, slick fielding infielders. If you can't hit, you would never play for me.
-
This is a total no brainer, but for some reason Craig won't do it. Turang must have pictures on him or something, for as much rope he gives him.
-
Okay fine, I was wrong about them starting a lefty, but that's not really the point. As i said, he has no business being in the starting lineup against anyone. You all bag on weimer repeatedly and say he should be sent down(and you're not wrong), well so too should Turang.
-
Reading comprehension is your friend. I said he shouldn't be in the starting lineup against ANYONE, let a lone a lefty, which...wait for it, the Marlins started.
-
Counsell just doesn't get it, Turang has NO business being in the starting lineup, against anyone, let alone a lefty. Yet, here we are. This is so simple..Monasterio at 2nd every night, Donaldson at 3rd, against righties or lefties. Easy peasey, or it should be.

They are all connected though. if they would ever make "big moves" in the off season they wouldn't put themselves in the positions they do at the trade deadline. Then I wouldn't care. But they do it to themselves all the time. There's been a few good off season moves(I'm speaking strictly abut hitters with this), but there has been more bad then good. For instance, name the last good 1 year contract guy they signed in the off season that has worked out. That's what they do sign 1 year deal guys and "hope" for a 1 year resurrection from said player. So when it doesn't work, what do they do? Rinse and repeat, double down and do it again next year.
-
So you're another guy that doesn't care how they do in the postseason and are happy with regular season success? SMH. How many NL Championship series have they made in that time span. heck, how many times have they gotten out of the 1st round?
-
Sure, that's a legit argument. The only problem is, if not now, when?? You had a window with Burnes and Woody, and did nothing to try to capitalize on it. That's my problem. They are always just "patching" holes.
-
It doesn't necessarily have to be quality but quantity. Canha and Santana aren't going to fix the still remaining holes in this LU. Why not get Candelario, Canha, Santana AND another legit bat? Then, it would at least appear to be significantly better and no matter how it ended up, I'd applaud them.
-
It's not moving the goal posts at all. Sveum was essentially "boasting" that the Brewers have the 6th most wins in baseball since 2018. Like it's some crowning achievement. Apparently he is just fine with great regular seasons, and essentially no post season success. I mean seriously, name the last time he has ever been even somewhat critical of any moves the Brewers have made? I can't remember a time. if people get somewhat critical of a move, he pulls out his fancy analytics(WRC+ etc), to try to make people feel better about it. Or his favorite thing to do, play the "payroll" card. Not to single him out, because many others do that too. The next time he lambastes a Brewers move will be the 1st time. Just call a spade a spade, don't try to "prop up" every move as being some earth shattering needle moving move, or trying to justify how acquiring Santana and Canha make what was a steaming pile of dung previously, all of a sudden look like a bed of roses. Small moves like those sure, they make you slightly better IF things go really well from those acquisitions. But slightly better isn't saying much when you were so bad to begin with. They certainly don't strike fear into other NL clubs I can tell you that much. It's the old using hope as a strategy. Hope never has been and never will be a strategy. Period.
-
Wow!!!! Holy hell, they deserve a parade for that! Everyone gets a trophy! 6th most wins in MLB since 2018. hang a freaking banner!
-
They made likely SLIGHT upgrades, but that isn't saying much, given how bad they have been. So what? Canha and Santana! World Series here we come! There's still massive holes in the LU at SS, 2B, and CF(Weimer). Did you watch this last series against the Braves and see their LU??(Insert the tired old payroll excuse here)
-
I just want to see them TRY, if it fails, so what? I would give them massive credit for finally pushing the chips to the middle of the table and giving it a shot. Not this "half assed" stuff they always do.
-
Oh Cripes, you really don't get it do you? Do you ever even have it in you to not fawn over every single move the Brewers make and try to use your fancy "analytic" BS to justify everything they do? How about not being a schill for the organization once and call a spade a spade. They aren't above criticism. The Cubs are playing Chess because...wait for it, they are actually "going for it". They aren't in the playoffs now, but they are sure trying. They get one bat, and that bat by itself is a better acquisition then the two the Brewers have gotten.
-
-
No, I couldn't have cared less about Cron/Grichuk. They don't move the needle either. Just like Santana, just like Canha. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
-
-
To be fair, I knew if there were more coming, they would be small time ones like this. I miss Doug Melvin.
-
That's the thing, who says their will be another contending window? None of us know that, and even if there is, we don't know when it might be. There are no certainties. That's why when you have two stud arms like they have, you should maximize that window. Alas, they are the Brewers.
-
LOL Typical Brewers move. Nothing like maximizing your chances in what will likely be Woody/Burnes last year. SMH, I should have known they were only going to do little "band aid" non needle moving moves so they can go "see! We did stuff at the deadline". Ummm not really. They still need a big time bat. I'd bet anything this is their last move. Gotta love the "hope" strategy, they utilize.
-
The correct answer here then is....so blow them away. Very simple, very easy.
-
Yuck, if these are the kinds of bats they are going to be looking at, then why even bother? Not a single one of these guys are a needle mover. Slight upgrade? Possibly. Go big or go home. You might say, "there are no big bats available". There are if you offer enough. Everyone has a price. Since the Brewers refuse to sign big bats in FA, then it's long past time they acquire one(or two) via trade. Now, add one of these guys to a headliner bat? Sure, I guess that would be fine. But not if they are your main options.
-
No big bats available? Make them available by your offer. It's that simple.
-
I'd trade Corbin if he's part of a package to acquire Ohtani ☺️
