    I’m told that …. sweeping is hard
  3. Turning2
    The bats … just not feeling it tonight apparently

    What’s with the love fest? Is he sick? Retiring?
  5. Turning2
    No reason they can’t pull this out yet
  6. Turning2
    Dang… oh, well… the bats need to start showing up

    The only selling point about this game is selling the game to kids, when the world is trying to shove soccer down their throats and draw them away from AMERICA’s pastime.

    Manfred, “the players embrace it, no complaints….” that’s a load of something
  9. Turning2
    Amateur field…. gakkk
  10. Turning2
    Wow!!!! Never seen a double play like that
  11. Turning2
    Crazy enhanced sound f/x on the bat making contact
  12. Turning2
    In game interviews are an insult to the integrity of the game. Now, having a kid asking questions… asinine

    How do you rectify it... for starters, MLB should strip them of the last two WS Championships if the alleged cheating and manipulation proves to be true. Of course, they won't do that, but it sure would be satisfying.
  14. Turning2
    Long story short.... yes, a taller 1B is preferable assuming all other things being equal. Preferable, but not an absolute necessity. Vaughn does pretty much everything you need from a first baseman except hit 20+HRs. If they don't win the WS, it won't be because of Vaughn's height most likely.

    Certainly, a gamble. My view is predicated on the belief that some other team will pay him more in total for a couple of years. There is always somebody willing to cough up. What I don't know is the process of the QO, and if Bauers' agent would have access to knowing other teams' interest and financial willingness before advising him to accept or decline.
  16. Turning2
    They should offer it. He won't take it. Worst case scenario he does accept it (for some inexplicable reason), he then resorts to past performance levels and is a huge black hole, money suck like Woody this year. But odds are that he would decline it, and they nab the draft pick. He's not damaged goods, coming off several injury riddled seasons like Woodruff, so the gamble makes a lot more sense. Hopefully, the Woodruff QO debacle doesn't make them gun shy with it for Bauers. Can't wait to be done flushing that money down the toilet.

    Power is soooooooo overrated. We have speed and defense…..FFS
  18. Turning2
    Have to hope a pro player is going to be mentally tougher than that
  19. Turning2
    Depending on how severe his latest injury is (I haven't heard), I'd like to see that happen. I don't get the "start the clock" thing or perhaps I do. Does this mean that even if he only plays a few days, a month or whatever in a season, that the team loses a whole year of control?
  20. Turning2
    Bummed to realize it's a club option on Wild Bill next season. I thought that was 2 years out. Highly doubt they will pay him the $14.5M unless a new CBA salary floor forces them to increase payroll. Then maybe. Still unlikely. Bauers is as good as gone, so they better hang onto Vaughn and let him show Blake Burke the ropes. I'd keep Megill too as I've never trusted Uribe's maturity level to handle the closer role.
  21. Turning2
    I guess I should have included to ask - of the bigger bats in our typical lineup, who would you replace to shake up what ever chemistry this group has that can’t get it done in October? Bauers will be gone, so that’s one difference we’re going to see next season. But who else? Who else could you see replacing out of - Contreras, Mitchell, Vaughn, Turang, Yeli, Chourio? Might as well whittle that down to just Wild Bill, Mitchell and Vaughn because the other 3 certainly aren’t going anywhere. I can’t see replacing any of them except Mitchell and possibly Vaughn.
  22. Turning2
    When the lineup comes out every day, we see the names, and I think .... that's a solid bunch of hitters. As I scan it, my mind leaps to evaluating them one by one. Chourio - yep, very good . Turang - yep, very good. Contreras - yep, very good. Continue with Yeli, Bauers, Vaughn, Mitchell, and I see that's some pretty solid power and contact overall. Seven core guys plus a surprisingly good bat in Pratt. Then add in what offense you get from the rest of the guys. They look like they can compete with anybody at any time. But.... they just don't. Yes, they've scored a lot of runs, and won a lot of games, and that is part of the mystery behind it. I can't believe anybody feels confident in this offense as being able to go toe to toe when it matters most in the playoffs. Collectively there is something that isn't working. And it feels like somebody needs to go come the offseason. And that brings me back to looking at the lineup... and it's hard to pinpoint who that player or two should be. They just can't seem to ever fire on all cylinders, either due to injury or a guy or two having a down year. Every fan of every team probably feels this way at some point. It's just weird. I like all our guys, but it isn't working with this group as a collective. The W-L record looks great, but there is trouble below the veneer.

    He was pulled from a game which led to speculation that he was getting called up. But reports are that Luke Adams injured himself while warming up during a game yesterday or possibly the day before. Heard this on the Micro Brew podcast with JR Radcliffe
  24. Turning2
    Agreed. Murphy has adamantly stood by Yeli as I would expect him to do. He has tried everything to nurse him along in hopes he will literally get back in the swing of things. BUT it’s getting down to where the rubber is about to meet the road. Murphy can’t risk continuing to hope.
  25. Turning2
    Sure, Pena might be a valuable asset in 2-3 years. Maybe even a starter. He could wash out too. I still would have preferred a trade of some kind to snag a bat. That could have been done long before the deadline when the bat shelf was empty. The front office is deluding itself if they believe they can build a championship team by draft and develop alone plus a few serviceable (but unspectacular) acquisitions. "Win Tonight" must also include making trades for needle moving veterans when the situation calls for it. Otherwise, that's just a motivational speaker catchphrase and I'd like to believe that Murph doesn't live in a van down by the (Milwaukee) river.
