Skip a turn... probably overblown a bit. Getting hit hard away vs Cubs/Reds is not that unusual by any pitcher.

Murphy loves Hamilton as much as he despises Black and Yoho.

When finances are a variable in all this, it is one of the most impressive things in sports. LIke a John elway career, this run jumps up to legend status with a WSchampionship.

If Made doesn’t cut it defensively, are we going to keep him? On the other end of the spectrum, we have two great defenders with lighter bats that are regulars in the infield of a 100 win team. And we know defense is highly valued on the infield, especially. Also, I still believe that the Pratt deal is not viewed favorably by Made’s people…..if Pratt is the SS of the present and future, where does Made fit? And if it’s 3B or 2B, who gets traded? And can he actually play well enough there for the Brewers standards defensively? Lots of ifs to go through if he’s worth the hassle. It may be better to look for a trade now that fits our weaknesses better. His perceived value in the league is off the charts now as the best prospect in baseball. You’d think we could get a haul and a half of lessor known minor league targeted arms and bats that our top notch talent evaluators and scouts love……..like writing a blank check to go out and get what we want.

More impressive run than the Dodgers over the last ten years….Dodgers more successful with championships sure, but Goliath should be that good. More impressive when rarely favored early in season and always a middling to bottom third payroll. Besides Indiana’s Cignetti, not sure what is currently more impressive in all of sports. And MA/MA/Murphy might top Cignetti with a World Series Championship. Just the most unexpected thing….almost yearly.

Should be interesting how they play this next stretch out. I’ll be surprised if Crow and Sproat aren’t recalled at some point. Has to happen to keep some of these inning numbers down…and/or start Wilson once or twice.

Keep Bauers? He’s a top 5 in the MVP! He’s gone. Vaughn…I hope they keep him at 10 per next season and bring up a lefty to fill Bauers’ shoes a bit. They have Burke as a prime candidate. Seems almost ideal to have a guy like Vaughn stay in house and have a rookie share some at bats.

Made for some team’s top two pitching prospect and their best corner OF, I could see…..especially if we can somehow afford Turang. We are rather light in pitching prospects and Made trade would fix that. With the surplus of middle infielders we have, I don’t know what is so absurd about floating the idea out there. And we value defense like few others. Made is more just average with the glove than anything else.

This is a message board. It’s ok to disagree. Or do you disagree with that? Imo, it’s nice to be civil. While disagreeing.

Still would have it…..Drohan still there.

And then bring up Jo Jo for Crow on Monday.

The answer was Drohan…pitched Tuesday. Could option Hall for Crow to pitch on Sunday. Drohan would have had all those lefties…no benefit in strictly keeping a 6 man rotation. or just bring in Megill.

Hedging…if they win, great for me…. and if they lose, look everyone, I was right. I told you so….It’s a calming mechanism that takes the sting off defeat a bit. But to your point, I wanted them to go in on Arozarena….just so few bats being traded.

Losing West coast games…….. must be clubhouse problems. cubs winnng too much….must be issues o

Happy days are here again! Needed.
