    Good job by Payamps bailing him out.

    Montas was not good tonight. I get that people want badly to try to believe in the acquisition but I cannot believe that anyone thought he pitched "fine" tonight.
  3. adambr2
    I feel like the baseball gods smite Turang in any AB that he attempts a bunt.
  4. adambr2
    And he does! On an 0-2 pitch! Way to go Blake!

    According to GameDay, all 4 pitches to Ortiz were strikes.

    I do hope you are proven correct.
  7. adambr2
    3 runs in 5 innings is an offensive issue?

    "Soup pitched great."

    This isn't specifically about you at all, and there's definitely some success stories that came from the Brewers pitching lab, but I always find it a little insulting to other pitching coaches that we assume our guys can just pick up a guy like Montas and "fix" him in a few starts. I mean the guy in charge of fixing him this entire season was Derek Johnson, and we thought he walked on water when he had a Brewer uniform on.
  10. adambr2
    He's been knocked around in his first 4 innings against one of the weaker lineups in the NL. So far, exactly as expected. Not every move the Brewers make needs to be rationalized.

    Brewers scratching their heads trying to figure out why their 5.00 ERA acquisition is pitching like a guy with a 5 ERA.

    Value of "currently sucks" players is vastly different though when you're comparing one player with multiple years of cheap control to a player that you need to turn around like, right now. If there was a year of control in 2025, I could wrap my head around this a little more. Then I could see, ok, we are counting on this guy to be a part of the rotation next year. That's not the case. Giving up two pieces of value for maybe 10 starts of a guy who hasn't been productive and we don't even know if/when we'll be able to fix him, is wild to me. The only way to potentially see value in this deal is if Montas ends up being a crucial and effective playoff contributor this year. To add, his salary is not cheap. Did we even find out how much the Reds are paying of his remaining salary and 2025 buyout?

    Like them or not the Cubs just did us a solid. 5.5 lead looks much better than 4.5 right now. The way things are looking, there's no Wild Card to fall back on if we blow the division.

    If Frankie Montas has been DFAed a week ago, there would likely have been a thread about picking him up. Some would have supported it and there would have been many "hard pass" opinions mixed in. Any suggestion in the thread that we trade Wiemer and Junis for him would have been widely panned. Look, obviously the market for Montas was much different than we thought, obviously the Brewers think they see something, and even though I hate the move, I'm also going to acknowledge that the organization has been right more often than they've been wrong, so I'll wait and see. I'm just pushing back against the narrative that Wiemer sucked anyway, Junis was useless anyway, etc. We all know this was a surprising move that would have made no sense to us on paper a week ago, we're just trying to have faith.
  15. adambr2
    Why even make a pitching change at this point?
  16. adambr2
    He fell behind 3-1 in the count (really didn't a single strike or anything close prior to that pitch) and had to throw a get me over fastball. Really hard to call that bad/luck breaks just because Riley happened to not make great contact on it.
  17. adambr2
    This Mears guy looks like a solid addition.
  18. adambr2
    I mean the my original critique was of the pen there and Elvis just straight up didn't get it done. The error on Ortiz was borderline anyway so hard to use that as an excuse. He couldn't throw a strike, until he had to and even then Riley bailed him out on 2-0. Fell behind in the count which will cause bad things to happen. Fact that Riley didn't make great contact is kind of a red herring in all of it. It'd be different if he made great pitches and just got beat but that isn't what happened.
  19. adambr2
    Hoskins might as well run the bases with a refrigerator strapped to his back.
  20. adambr2
    And yet it's still 2-2 if Elvis can retire one single hitter.
  21. adambr2
    This is the awesome pen that is going to give us hope in October?
  22. adambr2
    Look, I'm not going to say the Brewers shouldn't be proud of the season they've had with the hand they've been dealt. They absolutely should. With that said, every prospective NL playoff team has to be licking their chops at the idea of drawing us for a playoff matchup. I cannot think of a more desirable matchup on paper for any team than drawing us. There isn't a hitter in our lineup to be feared or a starting pitcher in our rotation that looks daunting. If we can win one playoff series, it'll be a great accomplishment.

    It just sucks that this deadline was just a bad fit for us, really. It was totally favored to sellers, but it was hard to sell 7 games up. But, hard to buy when you know you're not at full strength and won't be, so all you can really do is try not to weaken yourself for next year while still giving yourself a chance this year. Next year looks fun, ideally with : - Healthy post-surgery Yelich - Healthy Devin - Healthy Woodruff - Healthy (at some point) Gasser - Chourio full breakout? I mean who am I kidding, most of these guys will end up not healthy anyway plus others I haven't even thought of yet, but on paper we should be even better.

    I'd be curious to know how many people here really felt Wiemer was worth nothing 2 days ago and how many just feel that way now to make themselves feel better about this deal. I mean if an underwhelming 2023 meant Wiemer was useless, we may as well have traded Turang for a rental last year. Wiemer wasn't a finished product either, and the glove always was going to give him some kind of floor at this level. Also, wherever Wiemer was at in our OF pecking order was meaningless in regard to his trade value. Value is value. It's not like we were going to lose him if we didn't deal him before the end of the season. Had he improved, he would have moved up. Only Yelich and Chourio have locked down spots in this OF whenever healthy.

    Of course they did. 2024 MLB Trade Deadline: "Everybody but you got something cool."
