    Let’s put it this way - none of them put their team over the top. The point is that when you are a top tier team, trying to improve around the very tip of the margins is not going to change anything come playoff time. They could use their almost history setting farm system to make significant improvements. Guys like, Rosenthal, Canha, Shelby Miller, and “cromulent” 4th to 5th outfielders is not what they need to be laser focused on. Arnold and his team shouldn’t be waking up of a morning and thinking “which injured way-past-his-prime pitcher can we acquire that could maybe get healthy and maybe catch lightning in a bottle”. They should be thinking “What move can we make that can change the complexion of a series against the Dodgers, who treated us like children in the playoffs last year?”

    As much as I blame the owner for being cheap, this is Arnold’s one notable fault. He hoards prospects to the point of damn near congesting the system. Instead of ever parting with a good prospect for a good return near the deadline, he always attempts these weird ways to improve marginally. Pretty much none of his tradeline acquisitions have worked. The Brewers don’t need to improve marginally. They need someone who can help them compete in a series with the Dodgers. They could trade for a great young controllable player and still have the best farm system in ball. These Shelby Miller type trade’s are so lame and show such an obsessive aversion of ever trading a real prospect from depth.

    Hope he’s ok for his career’s sake. As for him with the Brewers, every time he pitches I am shocked he is trusted to go out there. He’s one of those guys where every time the ball leaves his hand I think “surely there is someone, somewhere, in our minor leagues or in another organization who can pitch better than this”.

    Usually I’m on board with what Murphy does, but as the head coach he has categorically botched the challenging mechanism with his team. The vast majority of his team, even leaders such as Yelich, Turang, and Chourio virtually operate as if the challenge is not an option, no matter the time or situation. Meanwhile his two catchers continue to be as frivolous and cavalier with their challenges as anyone in the league. The job Murphy and his staff have done with this new tool is appalling. Especially for an innovative organization.

    Sorry I watched the whole game but stepped out in the 9th, and for some strange reason I thought Uribe went back out in the 9th. Should have checked the box score!
  6. Sugarrayray
    Yeah
  7. Sugarrayray
    Does anyone know why Megill didn’t pitch?
  8. Sugarrayray
    Well said.
  9. Sugarrayray
    Thee *********** SANCHIZE. I love that guy.
  10. Sugarrayray
    Every time he bats I hold out a small semblance of hope that he will not try to back foot/go down on a knee pull the ball and instead try to go the other way and be the slap hitter he is - alas I am always disappointed. Also I haven’t tracked his foot speed but he looks slower in all facets this year and is FAR from a menace on the basepaths.

    Uribe showed steel nerves tonight. Essentially got 5 outs. He had the determined countenance we saw on his face often last year…..maybe this whole thing will help him focus in this year. I love Bauers - one thing I will say is after being a good glovesman at first base for years, he has been pitiful this year. He legit has a lot of errors. Obviously a terrible throw by Ortiz, but Bauers didn’t even come within inches of it. Strange. Megill’s fastball maybe has ticked up a tiny bit, but for whatever reason it seems so much harder to pick up than it did the first weeks of the season. Love seeing him and Uribe locked in! Great win even when you play kinda bad. Good game for Chourio. Also would much rather see Murph pinch hit for Frelick than Mitchell right now.
  13. Sugarrayray
    I love when someone hits the first home run of the season - and it really counts!
  14. Sugarrayray
    Why the hell would Murph have Roger Clemens address the team? Not a good look. Known as pretty much not a good dude.
  15. Sugarrayray
    This is why Matt is the best. That several Brewers fans on this forum didn’t like Uribe’s gesture was not surprising and makes perfect sense. That some were willing to call him an outright bald faced liar, and not even consider that he had any reason or justification whatsoever for going over the top - bespeaks perhaps something a bit more pernicious with their mindset. I wonder if the people defending the Cardinals’ honor while at the same time besmirching Uribe’s, will still not even admit to themselves one tiny bit that they could have been wrong in their assessment after reading Trueblood’s in-depth investigations and analysis.
  16. Sugarrayray
    Good to see Trevor Mac hit 100mph on that last pitch. Also very pleased with Chandler Patrick making a really good spot start. He wasn’t just an opener. Also Mitchell’s approach on last night’s home run and today’s double is awesome.
  17. Sugarrayray
    Totally understandable to disagree or even disapprove of how he handled it! Just wild to believe he went out and completely contrived an entire fabrication that he is putting on record in front of his teammates! The Cardinals have done this much more recently than over a decade ago!! See: Willson Contreras. They are accepted as the most bush league team in sports…..a Brewers fan of all people should know this. By the way, Murphy is pissed. Can you imagine how apoplectic he would be if he found out Abner just went out and started a lie about the other team after this!?? That would make things so much worse for Abner. Watch the video. He seems somber and takes ownership. This would be a pretty insane lie that he just thought up in detail on the fly!
  18. Sugarrayray
    It’s wild to me that you are ready to call someone a bald faced liar with zero proof, after he accused the least honorable team in sports of doing the exact kind of antics they are known for. If it’s just incomprehensible wanton immaturity, why didn’t Abner randomly do this two weeks ago or a month ago? It’s peculiar that you refused to believe he may have been responding to something…..
  19. Sugarrayray
    Normally I’d agree with you for sure man, and as I said earlier the one team I don’t mind openly disrespecting is the Cardinals, but what is a manager supposed to say when someone does something so over the top kinda out of nowhere? I mean he gave them three “suck its” right in front of everybody out of the blue!?!?!
  20. Sugarrayray
    I agree it wasn’t the worst thing. But I’m pretty sure it was a Degeneration X era “suck it” motion yeah?
  21. Sugarrayray
    Normally I don’t love seeing what Abner did especially in a game that isn’t very testy. That being said, I feel confident he was responding to someone in the Cardinals dugout talking junk. But even if not, if there is one team that holds a special place in baseball where someone should disrespect them - it is most definitely the Cardinals! So I don’t have nearly as much of a problem with it as I normally would.

    On top of the aforementioned command and control issues, Gasser’s stuff has just not looked as crisp. His time in the big leagues in 2024 he would occasionally hit 95 on his fastball when need be, now he seems to be topping out at 92. It’s sad that coming back from Tommy John has been so much harder for him than most people these days - he’s essentially almost two full years removed from it. Alas, I have a lot of faith in the young man and think he is a smart and applied student of the game. I think he definitely has a future in a big league rotation. Regardless, if he can’t ever find that command, he should not have a problem becoming a better DL Hall in a relief role. Pairing a fastball that would probably be in the mid 90s, along with that slider from that arm angle in what would be short stints…..would be ghoooode. And be very tough on lefties. I like the lad!

    Couldn’t agree with this article more. However, it was really nice to see him gun down some stupid Cub to start that game the other day. Just a reminder of how dynamic he can be. Hopefully things like that put a little pep in his step going forward. That throw really zapped the foul Cubs from gaining momentum early in that game. I almost enjoy seeing the Cubs lose at home as much as I enjoy seeing the Crewers win!!!
  24. Sugarrayray
    I happen to like that…..”lipper”. I think he and the Sanchize are in competition. A who’s is bigger kinda thing.

    Sal was one of my favorite players last year - it is jarring to me how bad of a baseball player he is right now. As much of a gamer as he is, the fact that he didn’t even CONSIDER challenging it shows his head is not in the game. That is inexplicable and not tolerable. He then fouls off a borderline pitch that prevents the winning run from reaching second. I remember Lorenzo Cain’s second year in his return to the Crew, he back legged a few homeruns and then it seemed like he was trying to do that the rest of the year, forgetting he was not a power hitter. Sal is doing that tenfold right now. His swing is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen and he is showing NO signs of attempting anything differently. He also is offering next to nothing speed wise right now. Right field cannot be a defense only position. Sal responded very well to being benched last year. That needs to be done again this year. He is not right and showing no signs of changing his issues and his head is not in the game.
