    That makes very little sense to me. If you don't think the reason for the move doesn't include the words 'Shaw' and 'Super 2' and instead includes the words 'CC' or 'bullpen', I'd imagine you're off-base.
  2. PeaveyFury
    Sounds like he's ok to go, but that's yet to be seen. If Moose does hit the DL, they need Shaw to produce at third ASAP.

    So you think that a guy on the worst team, a team that was nearly 50 games under .500 by the trade deadline, that finished 61 games behind in their division, a team that had just traded their franchise player in Machado....you think he was "shocked" he was potentially going to get traded? Ok, fine. I think it's strains the imagination, but if you believe that, ok. But then why do you assume Smoak has been told he'll likely be traded? And then you further this statement by arguing that this player didn't want to play in Milwaukee, that's why he's bad. Not just that he was surprised, but he actively did not want to play here(then signs with a worse team that plays without a roof FTR) and you assume that Smoak would. These situations are nearly identical, so would the two players have the exact opposite reactions to a potential trade? It's one thing to disagree with people, but you don't need to take speculation, then state it as fact in order to support your argument. Unless you heard something about Schoop not wanting to be in Milwaukee, you're just making that up. But you made that statement. You must not have seen his body language, stupid facial expressions, opinion only, But are you telling me it’s never crossed your mind that he didn’t want to be here. I don’t believe that. Stearns sure said it was a huge mistake! Something there. Or maybe, just maybe, he was upset about how poorly he was performing, frustrated that he couldn’t figure it out, and sad that he was letting down a team that thought enough to acquire him....
  4. PeaveyFury
    What does this even mean??
  5. PeaveyFury
    I think how he views it depends on his performance. If he continues to adjust, it will be a tough sell, but he'll also make it less likely that they'll send him down. If he goes through a rough patch, he'll have to understand that performance DOES play a part in it.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, the issue with Jones is that he probably doesn't fit great on the defense as a starter, and you probably can't get anything of value for him to trade him, so what do you do? Really, I think you keep him on the roster and hope he plays his way into a Jarrett Bush-type special teams ace. Otherwise, they'll have to be content to take a Ty Montgomery-esque 7th for him.
  7. PeaveyFury
    But can what Perez provides right now match or exceed Hiura's production for those three weeks? I think the answer is probably yes...
  8. PeaveyFury
    I called him above average actually, and will stand solidly by that. You're comparing him directly to HOF'ers, which seems a bit more unreasonable. He's not at that level, clearly, but he's an above-average LB at this point, IMO. And regarding the other stuff, the 'I know the game better than others' stuff generally doesn't fly with me, whether valid or not. It certainly can frame your viewpoints, but it's unlikely to make me and probably many others take you or whoever more seriously, if for no other reason than it's unverifiable. Too many instances of stuff like that not ending up true here over our many years for me to put much weight on that, whether your situation is legit or not. No offense intended, just IMO.
  9. PeaveyFury
    I think this is mostly personal opinion rather than fact. PFF has ranked Martinez as a high quality LB both of the last two seasons. I know that's not the end-all, but his actual game performance is being independently rated very well.
  10. PeaveyFury
    I know we don't do +1's, but I would here. Yeah, everyone would rather win those games. But I'll be that if you sat down with Steelers fans or some other fanbase like that, they'd have a similar story about leaving a dynasty on the field or something. Really, we are spoiled as sports fans. I guess I don't disagree with the desire and feeling that we need to win a couple more titles and perhaps should have won more, but we really are lucky overall.
  11. PeaveyFury
    He grew up 5 minutes from Madison, which is why many think he'd be interested in ending up with the Badgers.
  12. PeaveyFury
    I saw those reports as well, but I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I have a hard time believing that two brothers who have done literally everything together, including taking their visits this spring, are suddenly set on playing different places. On a much more serious note, apparently Badger assistant Howard Moore was in a horrible car accident this weekend, resulting in the death of his wife and daughter. Certainly thoughts with him and his family and hoping for good news regarding him and his son's condition.
  13. PeaveyFury
    Based on what, exactly? Do you have a Psych degree, or is that just your opinion? Guys come out of slumps, even deep ones, every single year. Shaw will hit at some point, and it will be this season. They're 1.5 back from the Cubs, despite again having played one of the toughest schedules in baseball so far. Making reactionary moves now is not what the Brewers do. If they identify value in a guy like Encarnacion or whoever, they WILL go out and improve the team, but it'll be on their terms and timeframe.
  14. PeaveyFury
    What, exactly, are we salvaging? The Brewers are tied for the 4th best record in the league, and currently in the playoffs if the season ended today, despite playing one of the hardest schedules in baseball so far. I'm hoping Mark A. and the front office focus on a sound strategy moving forward, not making reactionary moves because we're not leading the division or something.
  15. PeaveyFury
    Soooooo.... Dubon?
  16. PeaveyFury
    Though a fair point, I’m not sure either of those are the issue the poster has here. This seems like the typical complaint about too many guys getting thrown out, which again, isn’t anything other than average for the Brewers. I’d bet every fan base complains about their 3B coach, honestly. Sedar is probably no different from the rest.
  17. PeaveyFury
    actual facts? ok then... Yep, like the fact that the Brewers are solidly average in runners thrown out and outs on the bases, which is how I'd think you'd measure a 3B coach's performance.
  18. PeaveyFury
    Or perhaps I am right... I don't think it would be hard to find 20 other posters who agree with me, yet you guys continue to hammer my opinion because you don't agree with it. That's fine. There are no stats that you can throw at me that prove he is a good 3B coach. I know better, I've seen enough to know why I formed my opinion. But your opinion could be very wrong, since it's based on basically nothing other than your own observations of just him and nothing else, as you've clearly said. It's fine if you have an opinion. Where your opinion is getting "hammered on": is because actual facts suggest it's wrong, and you've stated that you don't care. That's generally not the best way to be on the correct side of arguing a point...
  19. PeaveyFury
    I simply don't care about the other 90%, I only care about the Brewers, and our 3B coach is bad, very bad. Doesn't change the fact that his judgement is poor in certain situations. He is bad at his job. Yet, statistically he isn’t, and you’ve no comparable sample to benchmark to. Perhaps it’s your observation that is flawed?
  20. PeaveyFury
    The eyeball test is what people rely on when their opinion isn't factually correct. How many other 3B coaches have you extensively watched to determine their performance relative to his?
  21. PeaveyFury
    Thames has quietly been pretty bad over his last 25-30 ABs as well. They're getting virtually no production from 3 of their 4 corner IF's, and they're still winning a lot of games. If the lineup ever starts hitting from top to bottom, this team will be very tough to beat.
  22. PeaveyFury
    And Cain was 6.9 wins above replacement just last year, clancy. As others have said, they’re on two different planets as players. Like I said earlier, Keon fits a role for the Brewers. But it’s a well defined, narrow one that would have to be at the right cost.
  23. PeaveyFury
    As Keith said, I'd sign him to a minor league deal for sure if he's interested. He's exactly the type of player you want on your bench in September as a PR/late inning defensive OF replacement.
  24. PeaveyFury
    The really funny thing about the trade (funny as in both oddly interesting, and hilarious if you're not a Pirates fan) is that when they made the move, they were still 3.5 back from the 2nd wildcard, and that was after a predictably unsustainable 15-4 stretch in July that even got them to that point. They then went 5-10 over their next 15 (including 1-4 right after the deadline) to immediately drop from contention.
  25. PeaveyFury
    Arcia's bat has actually been above average this year, which is great considering how terrible he was early. He's really coming around on that part of his game. An ugly couple of defensive games for him, though.
