    It has been painful to watch his approach at the plate, particularly with off-speed pitches-but do not give up hope. When you least expect it: https://pinkmonkey.com/dl/library1/book1305.pdf And yes, I know the time span in the poem is twenty years years between the ignominious strikeout and his redemption, and I know this is fiction-but the message comes through loud and clear. Casey was worse than an asterisk but, in the end, figured it out. CY will do the same...

    He looks like Brandon Woodruff's brother. That's got to count for something, right? 😉
  3. Profbratsch
    You are probably right. Having said that, some teams have learned that investing that much money can hamstring an organization. The Brewers are one team that has been taught that lesson.

    First of all, thanks very much for responding, Cory! Yes, we should go after Skubal-with one big exception: unlike the time we rented CC our owner should break the piggy bank and immediately sign him to a two-year extension. If we can do that (I know it borders on being a pipe dream), then two top 100 prospects and one or two position players would, IMO, not be too high a price to pay. The other option would be to do the same thing in pursuing Mason Miller. If we could get him, there would not be another team in all of baseball that could match the back end of the Brewer's bullpen!

    Outfield is not the Achilles heel for the Brew Crew. IMO getting a front-line starter and another quality reliever should be the top priority. We have to counter the Dodgers' rotation should we meet them in the NLCS.

    If Trevor blows another save to extend the losing streak, I think it will be a foregone conclusion that Uribe becomes the default closer.
  7. Profbratsch
    Brandon has demonstrated for us the heart of a true team player. Whatever it takes to help, even if it involves stepping a bit out of his comfort zone to do so. I hope he is a mainstay of the Brewers for a long time!

    How about this one: trading Made, Pratt and Chourio for Aaron Judge?
  9. Profbratsch
    He certainly proved he could perform when the lights were on. It would be worth a try!
  10. Profbratsch
    Like the addition to our vocabulary... 😆
  11. Profbratsch
    Nice to have DV back in the fold!

    While I realize that Nick Kurtz might be untouchable, what do you think about a trade with the Athletics? Brewers get Kurtz and a strong AA or higher pitcher. Athletics get Peralta, Megill and a top prospect not named Made. The Athletics are weak in pitching, and that could be the tipping point.
  13. Profbratsch
    I could live with that...😆.
  14. Profbratsch
    OK-I could get banned from Brewer Fanatic after proposing this, but here goes: Athletics get Peralta, Megill and Bauers Brewers get Nick Kurtz and a mid or top-tier pitcher from their farm system. If I read correctly, Kurtz's salary is under Freddy's, but not by much. Think what it would be like to have a two-headed power combo at first base. Waiting for the fallout... 😏
  15. Profbratsch
    Not if clubhouse demeanor is factored in...

  17. Profbratsch
    Yes on trades for Ortiz, Rodriguez and Mitchell. No on Ashby and Vaughn. I'm going to have to stop being so long-winded...
  18. Profbratsch
    Yes on Hoskins, no on Quintana...

    Much as I would like to be optimistic, I do not see a path for the Brew Crew to recover this time. I hope I am mistaken but, aside from the the obvious body blow of losing two home games to start the series, the bullpen is being taxed again, while the Dodgers' stellar starting rotation is making their Achilles heel-type bullpen a non-factor. Unless our team can get out to an early lead (with more than one or two runs) a sweep is not beyond the realm of possibility.
  20. Profbratsch
    If I were to venture a guess-and if Rock is thinking about life-each day given to us at that age is a blessing.
  21. Profbratsch
    Murph is a results-oriented manager. If Megill blows a third consecutive save opportunity, I believe he will make that switch.
  22. Profbratsch
    Not necessarily so. You are discounting COSS (change of scenery syndrome)—and playoff fever can be catchy. A similar transformation can be seen in Ryan McMahon's output since becoming a Yankee.
  23. Profbratsch
    Would you feel any differently once the winning streak hits 35? 😉
  24. Profbratsch
    If the Brew Crew had to send a pitcher down to Nashville why was Payamps not considered rather than Henderson? Perhaps it would be more valuable for him to get his mechanics corrected there with more pitching time available.
  25. Profbratsch
    So-is there anyone who wants to get THAT optimistic about the Brew Crew? I hear crickets… 😉
