    Came closer to striking out than getting a hit

    Yep, these are good points. I wish people could understand that celebrating our great accomplishments as a small market franchise and acknowledging that there are things we could improve are not mutually exclusive things. Great organizations never stop looking for how they can get better, this is not just true in baseball. It’s a great situation to be able to say that even though we’re about to be 36-21, there’s areas where we can be a lot better.

    Another 230M+ payroll team that can’t win. You hate to see it.

    The Brewers have a “I can fix him” attitude with pitchers and while they’ve often been right Woodford is not one of those examples. I agree that I’m not really sure what he’s doing here if not to pitch tonight and I’d rather just have Yoho finally up here every day.

    Hall has got to be one of the luckiest pitchers in baseball. Not many pitchers who walk almost a batter an inning are walking around with low 2 ERAs. It’s not a sustainable thing and even though the results have been good it’s something he’s going to need to get under control to be a trusted member of the bullpen.
  6. adambr2
    Just mostly emptying out the bench with the score.

    The negative reactions for Adames are disappointing.
  8. adambr2
    Murphy realizing Drohan isn’t going to go 5 innings, the Brewers are up by 5, someone in middle relief is going to have to be awarded a win and Ashby is available.

    He has a beautiful swing when he’s on. It’s really kind of baffling how bad a veteran who has as much experience and is as accomplished as he is can look when he’s off. It’s as bad as it gets.

    Tons of Josh Sweat to the Packers chatter today. But no real indication as to whether it’s all smoke or actual fire,
  11. adambr2
    Well, I think we can mostly agree that Perkins, Rengifo, Woodford, Coleman, Zastrysny and Sproat probably all won’t make the playoff roster. That’s about 25% as of today. Maybe one from the group does. Sproat could start putting it together or Zastrysny could end up having a great season. But I’d say 5 out of 6 probably don’t and there’s maybe 1 more dark horse that I didn’t list. (Like who would have thought a year ago that Rhys Hoskins wouldn’t make the playoff roster).

    Playoff roster building is a little different and sometimes the last spot or two is a niche PR type or defensive type role. So I think Hamilton is pretty safe. Perkins, no way, just doesn’t offer enough. Same with Rengifo. He probably won’t even last that long on the roster. Ortiz has been their ride or die at SS for 2 and a half seasons now so I don’t see that changing unless they make a deadline move for a SS or unless Pratt comes up and rakes with the same defense. With Sanchez, they need a backup catcher, so barring a trade for one, I don’t see enough difference between Sanchez and Quero to pull the trigger. Pitching staff is where it gets interesting and a lot of these guys at the bottom will be upgraded especially in the playoffs where you can afford deeper benches with more days off. Of the current 26, I’d say Chourio, Yelich, Turang, Contreras, Miz, Harrison, Megill, Uribe, Ashby, and Patrick are locks, with Vaughn, Bauers, Ortiz, Frelick, Hamilton, Mitchell, Lockridge, Sanchez, Anderson, Henderson, Hall and Drohan all looking like the high side of likely to varying degrees. Good chance one or more of the 22 names above will be traded, injured to end the season, or drop off enough to lose consideration, so this is all just early speculation. If it held, it leaves only 4 spots for some combination of Woodruff, Priester, Sproat, Lara, Pratt and Jett — and the rest guys that we have yet to acquire.
  13. adambr2
    I would still accept, though.
  14. adambr2
    I think you can find PT for Lara. The way Frelick is playing, he could use some more days off. Mitchell doesn’t need to play everyday. Chourio as you saw on occasion will need an occasional day. You can rotate days off between the 4 so they’re all playing between 50-90% of the time and rotate Lara in for Bauers for defense on some of his off days, for instance. I'm not saying your logic is wrong, I just think there is more opportunity than we think for Lara to come in and get ABs.
  15. adambr2
    Miz is awesome. Megill seems to be back which is huge for the pen, The offense needs to be better. If you’re going to have as many near auto outs as they do at the bottom of the order, you can’t afford to have several guys at the top slumping all at the same time. Anyways, I’ll take 2 out of 3 on the road.
  16. adambr2
    You're batting .095 and your one contribution for the day is that. Why is Perkins still on this roster?
  17. adambr2
    If you can’t play in the field at all… you need to do your one singular job better than Yelich has done this season.
  18. adambr2
    I think that was a below average outing for Miz today. That seems wild to say with a 7 inning scoreless line
  19. adambr2
    I agree with this. You’d love to see him at least get up to a .700 OPS or so, but either way, he still has value. The thing with Hamilton is some flexibility. He can be optioned. But, so can Sal and Ortiz and Perkins.
  20. adambr2
    Yelich pretty much single handedly keeping the Astros in this game.
  21. adambr2
    Definitely out unfortunately.
  22. adambr2
    Fair, to clarify his outfield defense this season hasn’t been good enough to justify keeping him in the lineup with his offensive production.
  23. adambr2
    IMO Sal needs a little bit of a wakeup call in Nashville for a couple weeks. He's been objectively overall worse than Ortiz. Unlike Ortiz, Sal doesn’t have a high end glove to fall back on. Tomorrow is June. You’ve had time to get it going.
  24. adambr2
    Well, I provided some context to support my original point. Witt isn’t a household name to everyone because he plays in KC. Not obviously an unknown, but underrated because of his market, Anyway, I think this is all a moot point because I don’t expect Witt to even be available but will have to agree to disagree because I think if we were pursuing Witt and told them only one of our top two prospects was available as part of a package, they’d stop returning our calls and move on to the many other suitors.

    Love the short porch. Well, I did there.
