    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.
  8. rickh150
    And then bring up Jo Jo for Crow on Monday.
  9. rickh150
    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.

    Yelich hitting ball hard...good sign.
  14. rickh150
    Or three
  15. rickh150
    Adams
  16. rickh150
    A walk or two will be needed…

    All it takes, even a game like this, is for one guy to be slugging well. We just don’t seem to have that this week.
  18. rickh150
    Playoff offense right now…scoring 2 fortunate.
  19. rickh150
    Just make it automatic…get it right every time. The future us will say how dumb we were. Balls and strikes dilemma each game would be over.
  20. rickh150
    Seems unbelievable dumb to challenge first pitch with no one on in the 6th. And this is normal for Brewers. 100% on Murphy
  21. rickh150
    Fielding a bunt would be an adventure.
  22. rickh150
    Turang hurt too….still not enough to bring him up?
  23. rickh150
    But a set 6 man rotation is new to us. That is much more structured and set. To do this, the back half of the bullpen should have options. But as we have seen lately, the chaos of trading for bullpen pieces with no options, along with the Wilson experiment, is making more bullpen issues than our usual.
  24. rickh150
    Earlier in the year, we often brought up a guy to start a game and ship him back to the minors. I’m in favor of doing that instead of boxing the team into this 7 man bullpen. We already have normal short starts and have to overuse Ashley and Uribe. I think having a little more flexibility in the pen would help us. Using Drohan in that longer Patrick type role as he was in earlier in the year intrigues me. Bring up Crow to spot start a game here or there when needed. We also start getting an off day most weeks until season’s end, including an extra arm in September. If Drohan sees little action in a series, slot him a day or two later.

    The next win will be a big one….hope it’s tomorrow.
