    I am not certain that May isn’t actually going to get this done. We are not even making him work.
  2. adambr2
    Definitely any series that Sanchez is playing in.
  3. adambr2
    Not sure if this is just a one game thing but the Cardinals seem a lot better at challenging than us,
  4. adambr2
    That was not a good pitch.
  5. adambr2
    Can we please, please get some better guys at the bottom of the lineup than Luis Rengifo and David Hamilton?
  6. adambr2
    I mean yes but dude has been one of the bright spots of the lineup for the last week and a half.

    I’ve seen the chatter, and first, no, I think there’s absolutely nothing to it. Witt is a cornerstone player for the Royals. They signed him to an 11 year extension and are building around him. I don’t think they are going to move away from that just because they aren’t good right now. But to play along, no, that wouldn’t get it done. Made and Pena are both gone, foregone conclusion. Then maybe Lara, Fischer, and Bishop Letson. So a 5 prospect package of all high end prospects. If we were lucky. He’s that valuable.

    I never said when it occurred at all. I wasn’t there. Why don’t you just watch the actual Uribe postgame interview? Do you think we’re just conspiring to fabricate a story for Abner? I’m literally just going off of what Abner said in the interview.
  9. adambr2
    That’s not what Uribe said. He said he was signaling to our players that he was going to have his players throw at our hitters. Just because it didn’t happen doesn’t mean he wasn’t throwing the taunt out there or playing mind games. Again, I’m not saying what Abner did was right but I’m flabbergasted that any Brewer fan thinks that the Cardinals were just sitting there quietly minding their own business this series and didn’t do a single thing that we might not have seen off camera that got Uribe a little more fired up than usual tonight.
  10. adambr2
    I mean you can believe whatever you want. I believe Uribe didn’t just spontaneously decide to send an unprovoked crotch chop their way,
  11. adambr2
    Do I love it? No. Would I have preferred if he just walked back to the dugout? Yes. Do I think that his explanation that the Cardinals did something at some point during the game to instigate it and he didn’t just randomly decide to fire off a “suck it” motion their way, is at the very least plausible, if not likely? Also yes.
  12. adambr2
    Yeah. I’m going to give our player the benefit of the doubt and not just assume that he just made it up on the fly in the middle of an interview,
  13. adambr2
    I was more on your side and I watched Uribe’s explanation and I get it a lot more now. He did apologize first and foremost and then he mentioned the Cardinal manager was making motions that they were going to hit our batters. So Abner was pissed and rightfully so. Did he go about responding the perfect way? No, probably not, but I get it, and he apologized. Moving on.
  14. adambr2
    Man I hope there’s something we don’t know because this really sucks. He was considered one of the higher character leaders on the team, I thought. If there’s any truth to this, I feel you have to release him. I think Trey Benson would be a nice cheao target, he’s completely buried in Arizona now that they drafted Love.
  15. adambr2
    Ok, what did Abner do? I didn’t see it. Must be pretty bad if everyone is jumping on him in a game against the Cardinals.
  16. adambr2
    If you take Bauers splits against RHP and Vaughn against LHP, you actually have a really high end 1B.
  17. adambr2
    Some pretty silly looking ABs tonight.
  18. adambr2
    Nice work by Harrison to get out of trouble.
  19. adambr2
    Should be fine. We have Chris Brooks and a guy who hasn’t even been able to make it through practice without sustaining a new injury,
  20. adambr2
    Right, and all that is hypothetical, so really the best way is just looking straight at what was lost and what was gained.
  21. adambr2
    I totally agree with this. I touched on it briefly in my original post but you described it better. It’s a bit of a false equivalency to try to compare trades by subtracting total WAR lost and comparing it to total WAR gained. If you traded two players who accumulated 2 WAR each for 6 seasons and you acquired a player who accumulated 7 WAR for each of the next two seasons before departing in free agency , you traded 24 WAR for 14 WAR. That certainly would not mean you made a “bad” trade.
  22. adambr2
    It’s just really hard to say because there aren’t any good recent comps. Teams just don’t give up high end top 100 prospects for rentals. But I would concede that Skubal is in a class all his own so I could see it being entirely possible that he could break that trend. I just don’t know though ,,, Corbin Burnes was a very high end pitcher when we traded him with a year of control left and most of us agree in hindsight that the return was underwhelming. But Skubal is in a class all his own, even ahead of Burnes. I think it all depends on how intense the bidding war gets. I mentioned Fischer plus but I could see Pena plus being necessary or even Made (not saying that we should do that, just that it could end up being what it would take depending on the bids from others.)

    If Bauers can continue to hit LHP and at least play a passable OF I am ok with most of this, even if I would prefer to see Lara get a look. Though the service time, assuming we’re past super 2, and the option are overstated and overblown to me. If we are concerned with Lara being out of options by 2029 then he was probably not what we were looking for anyway and we’ll know that by then. However for his career Bauers owns a 73 wRC+ versus LHP and though he might have improved on that I am guessing that is probably closer to his future splits than the 119 for 2026 that you mentioned.
  24. adambr2
    Maybe Andrew Fischer plus?
  25. adambr2
    I don’t understand the sentiment that you can’t do anything about Sal. He hasn’t been good. Him being a big part of previous playoff runs doesn’t change his 67 wRC+ or the fact that he’s unplayable against LHP. As of today, there is not an acceptable outfield righty platoon outfield bat to start against LHP outside of Chourio. If Frelick gets optioned and spends some time in Nashville to work on his swing, knowing it’ll be temporary, and Lara gets some time up here to see how sustainable his production is at this level, are you really losing anything or doing any harm? I think if anything, you’re getting more information. Between Sal, Mitchell and Lara, one of these players is not a part of our long-term outfield alignment.
