    Everything is seemingly falling their way now; however, they could/should be ADDING to their group at the deadline. I sure hope to see playoffs this year.

    Best record in baseball on July 20…and it is largely because of young (cheap) talent that doesn’t even hit arby for a couple/few years. Incredible.

    Starting pitcher that throws over 100 mph regularly for major innings each season does not scream long term contract to me. All that stress on that arm. Just worried about arm troubles…but hey, I didn’t like the risk with Chourio either for different reasons and feel I was happily wrong now. Another thing you rarely hear is the insurance policy on big contracts over many years. I remember hearing it with the Sheets extension. A favorable insurance policy would negate these risks and feelings, especially for small markets.

    Yelich flying around 3B on replay…wow. Goosebumps. Great game.
  6. rickh150
    I mean wow. Slides right in for Hoskins. Just wow.
  7. rickh150
    Who picks replacements?
  8. rickh150
    6 man on 5 man schedule…one guy is skipped rotation each time thru.. …I like that better than everybody throwing once a week on 5 or 6 days of rest.

    Quero isn’t going anywhere. I would do reverse trade of Cortes for Devin Williams. SS is going to be tough to fill this year…even with overpaying.

    The Brewers have had very poor DH outputs from 2023-2024 and often treated the position as a way to get backups action. I like having Yelich there as a consistent hitter for that DH spot and a way to maybe keep him healthy. I expect that he will continue to play LF occasionally.
  11. rickh150
    Well, I really do he would have. The Padres with Hader finished three games ahead of Brewers without Hader. There is the difference. You also ignored the collective groan from the entire organization. That groan likely cost them a playoff berth. It is the only time in the last 7 years they have missed the playoffs and the only time they traded away a top star while in the hunt. The Brewers bullpen roles were now all shifted…and boy did it show. The team led MLB with 16 blown saves after the trade.. Numbers wise, a 6 run blown save blew up his numbers with SD. You ignore he was about perfect the last month in must win games while the Brewers had the most blown saves in the NL with traded for Taylor Rogers leading all of baseball in 2022 with 8. Taylor played a big role in Brewers missing playoffs too with a 845 OPS with Brewers..(Hader .737 with SD). Hader was lights out in playoffs too (.091 BA, .348 OPS) in 5.1 innings getting Padres to NLCS.
  12. rickh150
    113 OPS+ as a Brewer…..ok. Inconsistent or meh roughly 25 years then?
  13. rickh150
    Very good crowds….looking to get even better late!
  14. rickh150
    Hoping for great crowds this weekend!
  15. rickh150
    Adam, we were arguing different points. Yes, I see Yelich as our DH this season since he has played there the majority of time. If he were still OF, then no he would make more than everybody. Also, I cannot see Pittsburgh trading him in division to play against them four series each season for a few more seasons. And I don’t see the Brewers giving top prospects for the same reason.. to haunt them for a decade.
  16. rickh150
    The Brewers missed the postseason by one game in 2022. Hader wouldn’t have made a one game difference?
  17. rickh150
    So what…..still a lot. 1/8th of payroll isn’t a lot? For a guy playing worse defense than what we got? Would arguably be our 3rd or 4th best OF? We obviously COULD afford him and make him our 3rd highest paid player. He would make us better or deeper, yes. Just not wise….3rd highest contract for aging OF having a down year. Worse defense. Taking ABs away from other guys like Frelick/Collins, both hitting well for last 7 weeks. And lock that in for four years.
  18. rickh150
    Still recovering apparently…
  19. rickh150
    Of course $15 mil is a lot to the Brewers or any other small market team. Of course… still in the old days of 2025. The rest of the Brewers OF does not make that combined. You could use that nothing $15 mil to pay for the 2026 same guy Brewers OF…………about 1/8th of their payroll. And 30 plus is the downside of a baseball player’s career. Of course. If you have a hilltop and late 20’s (27-28ish) is the peak, 30 plus is on the downside of an average player’s career. Those are the years we would have Reynolds.
  20. rickh150
    I fear there is a reason most 98+ mph guy are relievers. The number of throws at that velocity, along with the very hard off speed stuff, leaves me not wanting to go long term here unless he wants to get set with a very team friendly deal. They have him for 6 or 7 years til he’s 30ish anyways….paying little until 2029.
  21. rickh150
    Oh, they do. But not with him….they jerked him around endlessly, even when performing well.
  22. rickh150
    Are you giving tips on not being condescending? Let me get my notepad. I just MEANT that there are several negatives to trading for Reynolds that were not being discussed. Reynolds would be a nice addition to the team, yes. The negative effects would be there short term and long, however. There are better trade options, imho.
  23. rickh150
    Reynolds checks about all the negatives for a small market team…. 1. In 30s and on Downside of his career 2. Large amount of $ per year 3. Large amount of years left on contract 4. Underperforming lately If he was a FA in 26 or 27, I would think much more deeply about this. Now it seems pointless. Older, expensive, long contract, meh year so far with definitely better defenders in the wings with Collins and Perkins.
  24. rickh150
    $80 milion for a few more years? And You know that number along with a negative WAR this season? How about our overall payroll? What’s that number for 2025? Respectfully, think this thru and ask yourself again if it makes sense if it is literally your money.
  25. rickh150
    Still will be moved at deadline….still.
