    Why would Brewers just give the guy away now that he is finally showing something? http://www.thescore.com/news/824771
  2. markedman5
    So he decided to take his salary but not work for the rest of the year. Great teammate @AdamMcCalvy: Couple things from Doug Melvin: #Brewers gave Garza option to not start today. Also offered him chance to pitch out of pen, Garza declined.

    So this should get interesting......I'm sure he has figured out the Brewers are going to make sure that vesting option for 2018 doesn't kick in.... @AdamMcCalvy: Garza is absolutely furious about being shut down. Strong words against GM Doug Melvin. Story coming to #Brewers .com.

    @CespedesBBQ: Heard this mentioned on the Cubs broadcast: Pirates are 82-122 against the Brewers since Randall Simon clocked that Sausage in the face.

    Brewers Player Dev ‏@BrewersPD 41s42 seconds ago Jorge Lopez has been named the Southern League Pitcher of the Year. Carlos Subero named the league's Manager of the Year

    That change up was really good. I think his upside might be Sean Marcum...when Marcum was good

    Fall from top prospect status now complete.....@ESPNChiCubs: MIke Olt designated for assignment to make room for Austin Jackson.

    Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 48s49 seconds ago #Mariners announce that they have fired Jack Zduriencik as GM. Assistant GM Jeff Kingston takes over for rest of season.
  11. markedman5
    I think the point is that the players should be doing what the manager wants. Unless of course you are Chucky Carr.........
  12. markedman5
    Does Rosenthal count as a reliable source? http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/baseball-joe/blog/what-s-left-for-boras-top-free-agents-021515

    @Ken_Rosenthal: #RedSox announce that Dave Dombrowski is their new president of baseball operations.
  14. markedman5
    No mention of Montgomery? Hard to believe he wouldn't be staying. @BNightengale: The #Brewers plan to do plenty of housecleaning in front office, but will certainly keep highly-regarded scouting director Zack Minasian

    Keeping in mind we don't know the circumstances yet (it could be a salad tong incident, for all we know), but would you have felt the same way if the Brewers were contending right now and we do learn it was self-inflicted in anger? Team record wouldn't make a difference to me. It would make a big difference to me. My level of disgust is directly tied to the players ability and how it impacts the season.

    From Heyman The Brewers' stated preference for a young executive with an analytics expertise to replace longtime GM Doug Melvin should leave them with plenty of good choices, such as John Coppolella (Braves), Thad Levine (Rangers), Dave Forst (A's), Michael Girsch (Cardinals), Billy Eppler (Yankees) and Mike Hazen (Red Sox). Dipoto, who just took the interim job with the Red Sox, also would fit nicely (as would his two lieutenants, Scott Servais and Matt Klentak), and so would Josh Byrnes (Dodgers), who was previously GM in Arizona and San Diego ... The Brewers aren't one of those teams paying lip service to analytics, either. The Attanasios are big believers. Mark's son, an MIT man and hoops player, is a basketball analytics guys .. Melvin broke the Brewers' streak of 15 non-winning years in 2007 and went on to guide the Brewers to at least 80 wins in seven of 10 seasons. In the Mark Attanasio/Melvin regime, the Brewers drew 2.5 million fans every year since 2007, and three million three times, amazing in such a small market. So it was a job well done. You also have to admire Melvin for picking the appropriate time to step into an advisory role. Not everyone can do that.

    @BNightengale: The #Brewers are expected to hire a GM outside the organization, and 1 intriguing name surfacing is #Angels Scott Servais,a Wisconsin native

    Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 4m4 minutes ago Dave Dombrowski likely would join any club as high-tiered executive, and oversee, not necessarily replace, the GM
  19. markedman5
    The Brewer Nation ‏@BrewerNation 3m3 minutes ago Craig Counsell just told us that Tyler Cravy will start tomorrow. Kyle Lohse will pitch out of the bullpen. #Brewers
  20. markedman5
    Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 5m5 minutes ago Dave Dombrowski already is drawing plenty of interest. The Leading potential clubs: #BlueJays, #Nats,#Angels, #RedSox, #Brewers, #Mariners

    Another outstanding start from Jungmann tonight. His curveball has improved by light years since he was drafted. Just nasty
  22. markedman5
    @CHarris731: So, this Josh Hader guy is pretty good. 8 K's, 1 BB through 4 IP. Already 2 away from career-high set in '14 of 10. 58 pitches, 45 strikes..

    He was on the radio today. When you listen it doesn't come across as bad as the quote makes it look. He hates losing( I imagine they all do). Said he has 2 years left on his contract so he doesn't want to lose for 2 more years...he wants to win next year and he is hoping that the guys they got in the trades are ready to help sooner then later. He is clearly frustrated by how the last 2 seasons have gone and is embarrassed(his word) by his own play this season. At the end of the interview he basically says being a baseball player isn't fun and if you didn't get paid a lot it wouldn't be worth it. Could be just the frustration boiling over......http://media.1057fmthefan.com/a/107990120/08-04-15-jonathan-lucroy-joins-the-bill-michaels-show.htm

    @castrovince: In lead-up to Deadline, rival execs had been speculating that Dombrowski might not want any part of a rebuilding period in Detroit. ------------------------- Discussion can be continued here: Doug Melvin steps down as GM; moves into advisory role
