So are you suggesting they shuffle the rotation so Davies never pitches at home? Of course not. But they could have set it up to open on the road, then he would have had another start at home, then again on the road for 2-1 through the first 3 stands instead of 1-2. Obviously you can't avoid it without doing some sort of pitching platoon which is dumb but there are ways to tilt the overall numbers the way you want them without constantly reshuffling your rotation.
-
Hope they think about how important it was to start a "name" guy for the home opener even though he's awful at home when they miss the playoffs by 1 game again.
-
I know you don't want to be overly aggressive, but we seem to be constantly staring at 2 strike pitches with 2 outs and RISP. Don't like that. Don't know what Villar was looking for. Fastball right down the middle.
-
Nice D from Villar.
-
Totally agree. He's a high end defensive catcher. Anything he gives us with the bat is gravy, which as a bonus is pretty darn good too. I don't understand why some wanted him replaced. I think he'll be pretty safe for 2 WAR or so.
-
Symbolism of being "opening day starter." Players would probably not like it if one of the horses didn't get to start this game. Counsell can't start Suter here no matter how much sense it makes. It's a sign of respect. I would think that a good clubhouse which we seem go have who gets explained the logic by the manager could deal with it just fine.
-
Still can't understand why you tab Suter for Game 3 and Davies for the home opener. I can't explain it, but Davies straight stinks at home and is an ace on the road. Like, moreso than any pitcher in baseball. It made perfect sense to let him finish off the Padre series and roll with Suter in the home opener. I said it well beforehand and I just don't know what Counsell was thinking there.

Put your damn phone down for the anthem.

I think Braun is most likely 1 out of 2 guys: 1) Generally a decent dude who is human like everyone, made a mistake trying to recover from injuries, tried to hide it, and it snowballed on him as he got tangled up in his own web of lies. 2) A completely fake and narcissistic individual who does everything, all the way down to charity work, for his own interests and image. Think Sammy Sosa -- said all the right things, kissed babies and helped old ladies across the street, all the while he was a fake dirtbag who would do anything to get ahead. Likely a former chronic PED abuser who may have been using all the way back to his Miami days. I really don't care, he's the one who needs to live with whoever he is. I will root for him to do well as long as he's wearing a Brewer uniform, but that's as far as it goes for me.

It's hard to believe that somebody else out there actually "gets it". Bravo sir. Sorry, I agree with 99% of what sveum posts, but I really could not disagree with this one more in every aspect. First of all whether or not the collector was 'thrown under the bus' is totally beside the point. You can call it what you want, it was a crappy thing to do to another human being. If he's forgiven him, great. It was still a crappy thing to do and in part answers the original question here. Secondly by that definition he did indeed throw people under the bus. Ask his former best friend Aaron Rodgers if he felt thrown under the bus when he publicly called out MLB after Braun was acquitted, only to be made a fool of later. Not surprisingly, he severed business and personal ties with him after. How about his teammates, who publicly insisted on his innocence? Also, to me the 'if Urine Guy had done his job correctly' argument is silly in my opinion. Yeah, if the cops out there who have made a procedural error in an arrest had done their job correctly, the criminals who benefited from it wouldn't have escaped justice. That doesn't make them any less guilty in reality.

Seems harsh. He never said they were in the same place, just said both teams had things to enjoy and look forward to this season, which is true. He fully admitted San Diego isn't there yet and he straight up said he thinks Milwaukee is a playoff team. He also pointed out that despite the sweep, it wasn't a lopsided series, and the Padres were 2 bounces from winning the series. Also true. They were nothing but complimentary about the Brewers the entire broadcast. They gushed over the lineup and pen and said it was just completely unfair to have a guy like Hader following Suter especially with the other guys. (In the context of "that's unfair = those guys are awesome.")

Diaz and Monte are the ones that killed me... I knew Brinson was gone, the other two I was hoping to hang onto. Diaz doesn't bother me much because I prefer Hiura. So one was expendable in trade. Harrison, it sucks because he's got great upside, but he's got a reasonably high bust risk as well. Lutz could end up being the next great OF prospect in the system, or Clark or Ray if they ever get it together. Still a lot of breakout potential in the OF on the farm. It was always going to take a lot. I was glad it didn't take any 'real' pitching prospects (sorry Jordan).
-
I don't think anyone is going to end up mad at what we have up for Yelich. And I'm ok if Brinson ends up good.
-
Thought the same thing. Looked like he pulled up just before reaching the base. Almost like he had the wrong stride and had to kind of make a half-step to hit the bag. Just odd looking. I just want to know that it wasn't a situation where he was standing there in the box for half a second thinking "Hey, that's gonna go foul", before realizing too late, "Oops, guess not, I better run."
-
When I was watching the play I figured he had a decent shot to beat it out. Not even close.
-
Thought that turd Galvis had another hit.
-
Unless the rotation ends up being a complete disaster and they end up flush with elite bullpen options, I don't think Hader to the rotation is in consideration this year. I think they want him doing exactly what he's doing all of 2018, then who knows.
-
How is that funny? We did it once already too... Because they just went 17 innings last night. And lost.
-
I really can see why they want Hader in the pen. He is such a weapon there and changes the entire pen.
-
I was surprised myself but no problem with it. Thinking with the day off tomorrow they may be looking for 2 innings from him, then they can go Albers, Barnes or Jeffress in the 8th before Knebel. Good options.
-
Cain and Yelich just look fantastic so far.
-
Suter with the classic "Soup pitched great" line tonight, 5 IP, 3 ER.
-
Man, this park has been extremely unfriendly to Thames and Bandy who have both hit multiple shots hard tonight.
-
Get your crap together Suter, one of you and Woodruff is getting a paid ticket to Colorado Springs in a few weeks.
-
Thanks, didn't see the first one.
