    Trading Yelich for prospects and playing Chourio in LF could basically pay for 6 or 7 years of AmFam’s renovations! I know we don’t want to look at it this way, but my guess is another 150 million that the Brewers would contribute to the ballpark would matter a lot to the state, county, and city.

    Exit velocity probably wasnt high enough on those hits… gotta get him outta there.
  3. rickh150
    Uribe and Elvis could pitch in that 5th/6th inning closer role that Jeffress used to hold. I am not for a 7th inning guy when matchups could mean a lefty is needed.

    I used to think that this window is closing. Not anymore. Even if we lose Burnes/Woodruff in the next two seasons, we still have Peralta. Ashby could be the next big thing. A few young SP prospects are there too. The cupboard is not bare with SP. And the young hitters at OF are numerous and highly touted. We also have a big catching prospect.

    Really great owner….. yet, he has been very quiet while, I don’t know, articles of the franchise possibly looking to relocate have been written! So good reason to freak out a bit with him being mum on the topic since March/April.
  6. rickh150
    He made contact and delivered. How many times do we have two on and no outs and do not score? By the way, Huira hit 1.227 OPS in “late and close” games last season in 46 PA. But yes only a few PAs… better blame him for that too. He’s getting bashed for an RBI double?

    I figured it was kind and polite to respond respectfully if something was addressed specifically to me.
  8. rickh150
    Big moment here for Santana…
  9. rickh150
    Yes, he can!
  10. rickh150
    Yep. Let him hit or fail (or trade)…and then we can truly move on.
  11. rickh150
    Agreed. And his bat was hot at AAA and here when sent down.
  12. rickh150
    Now that is much better. Good improvement. a. Disagree.. still playing well. Played pretty well in 2022 too b. Actually got much better in 2022 from pretty awful 2020 and 2021... and this year is improving by month since injury June- .694, July- .848, August- .929. Overall OPS .946 c. As others have said, K rate is better at AAA and like I believe…, tough to fault him for his lack of ABs last year and this d. DH and backup 1B/LF e. Lefty OPs this season at AAA 1.018 in 71 ABs f. Brewers disagree with you….kinda. Still in organization batting 3rd at AAA. Then again we have rotated 19 DH so far and counting, though.
  13. rickh150
    Hiura thread….and he’s 2-3 with 2RBIs and a double so far in the 5th.
  14. rickh150
    1st paragraph… yes, we have discussed long enough now that we now have others above Hiura! Contreras solid and Monasterio having solid games and a little power. You want to add Mitchell now, ok. Then add Frelick too. So a few more….point taken. 2 and 3…..yet Voit got a chance. You make it sound like I am 100% sure Hiura will succeed. I just want him to get an opportunity! Putting this to bed for a week or two…
  15. rickh150
    19 DH….. 2.2 million salary….2nd best OPS among current Brewers last year and this year. Stellar numbers at AAA which includes lower K rate. I am asking for an opportunity. Fair, logical, and almost insane to not give a chance. Like a dying man of thirst in the dessert with a few jugs of water in this backpack saying, “I think I’ll check the next town for a bubbler instead.”
  16. rickh150
    I see the entirety and do not like it from any angle. I also didn’t like the way the team treated him last year. Hiura should have been included as one of the 19 Brewers DH options in 2023 a long time ago. And if he falters, he falters. Move on. I just see him as a better or even much better option that 90% of the guys used at DH this season. And the bar is low. He doesn’t even need to hit .949 as DH, .866 against RHP, .765 overall.
  17. rickh150
    And Rowdy had daily at bats in 2022, a set spot in lineup, normalcy…not Hiura. And Brewers “certainly” did have Tellez and Winker on this team for months manning 1B and DH this year. Tellez and Winker are good enough defense, but Tellez and Hiura is not good enough?
  18. rickh150
    So at what point do YOU give Keston a shot? What do you need to see? Another words, if he is so bad do you just want them to let him go? Or like some do you just base opinions on what the team does and defend brass to the highest extent?
  19. rickh150
    Rowdy playing defense… there is another one. Can’t really go to his offense this season so might as well go back a year or two and pine for his defense. And tough to blame Hiura for having limited ABs in 2022, but it is being used against him here. At what point do you bring him up and/or let him go? What scenario do you need to see?
  20. rickh150
    Bunting with guys on 1st and 3rd and less than 2 outs… remember Aoki doing this several times. And the other team knew it was coming.. several times in same at bat. It would be nice to have a bunter like Aoki and a pinch runner like Carlos Gomez come September. Actually, I’m all for an Olympic type sprinter as a pinch runner in Sept/Oct. Not sure why this isn’t a thing…
  21. rickh150
    Voit’s all year stats are not relevant to the Brewers. To him they are of course… but not to me or Brewers. He obviously thinks he is playing well enough for a promotion. The whole AAA stats don’t matter thing isn’t true. They matter, but to a lesser extent. Teams gauge these numbers and at bats for what they are worth. Struggling players do not get the calls up that thriving players get. I am all for giving deserving players shots and Hiura deserves it based on MLB 2022, Nashville 2023, and our train reck at DH specifically and to a lesser extent injuries/poor performance at 1B.. Others point out various other reasons he deserves a shot… switched stance, lower K rate, etc. Just let him be the 20th player to hit in the DH spot this year.
  22. rickh150
    Good thoughts. I would also like our big boys lined up for the Cubs.
  23. rickh150
    And yes, Hiura still deserves an opportunity to play bad with the Brewers this season and still have his stats looked at as an upgrade.
  24. rickh150
    Voit’s stats with the Mets AAA? I posted the Nashville stats. He exercised an out a week so he could test FA. And this is a Hiura thread… the poor guy cannot even get his own stats mentioned in his own thread. Gotta give Luke Voit his time in a Hiura thread. Par for the course with Hiura, though. Seems about right.
  25. rickh150
    I am comparing Adames/Hiura order in the lineup and place in this organization. It can be compared, and it is opposite ends of the spectrum (a two game sit bumped Adames down a bit). And DH does not play a position. And Luke Voit does not have an OPS over 1.00. It’s .925 at AAA in 27 ABs. And this is after he had a shot on Brewers this season……74 PA and .548 OPS…not comparable with Hiura.
