    Facing Ohtani twice in big scoring situations and coming out unscathed and not attributing any of that to luck is crazy. I grant you his stuff plays, But he’s been fortunate today.

    A .589 OPS for Sal Frelick just doesn’t play, If you’re looking for two guys in the lineup who gotta give us better ABs to have the offense we want, look no further than Frelick and Yelich. Everyone else is doing what can reasonably be expected from their hitting abilities.

    He has put 4 runners on for free in 4 innings and stranded 5 runners in scoring position in 4 innings, Ohtani alone has left 3 of them on. I appreciate the 1 run allowed result but let’s not pretend it’s due to some amazing pitching today rather than just random baseball results. He has gotten some big K’s in big situations. I think that’s about the most positive thing today that he’s done.

    I just don’t know what to think of Sproat. The stuff is there, but I trust him about as much as a wet fart. He teeters on the edge of disaster almost every inning.
  5. adambr2
    Sproat, what are you doing, man?
  6. adambr2
    Hitting the #9 hitter with 2 outs to load the bases for Ohtani. That’s the best idea since Prohibition.
  7. adambr2
    If you were gonna take a 3-2 pitch, it was the one before.

    This home plate umpire is hot garbage. Multiple overturned calls, other calls that could have been overturned. Also, you should ask for help on check swings. You need all the help you can get.
  9. adambr2
    Got out of it, but they are playing with fire.
  10. adambr2
    You cannot face the Los Angeles Dodgers and walk 13 of their hitters in 11+ innings and expect to win the series. Good grief.
  11. adambr2
    And then they don’t challenge the 3-2 pitch that would have been strike 3. 🤦‍♂️
  12. adambr2
    If you’re going to challenge in the 2nd inning, you better win.
  13. adambr2
    Sure you can. Guys like Blake Perkins get DFAed every month. They’re not a commodity. Whatever he was prior to last August, he just isn’t that guy anymore. You can’t justify keeping a guy for no other reason than playing a quality CF. And he doesn’t really “hit lefties”, his splits against them are .222/.323/.333/.656. It just looks better than the other side because the way he hits righties is so ungodly bad that he literally doesn’t have a single hit against one in 35 plate appearances.
  14. adambr2
    No reason for Gasser or Woodford to be on this roster tomorrow.
  15. adambr2
    The Brewer loyalty to Perkins is maddening. He’s sucked for almost a year. Let him go. No optioning. Just let him go.
  16. adambr2
    I should have disclaimed, nothing more than Twitter chatter which again I doubt has any merit to it at all. I’m more just fantasizing.
  17. adambr2
    Of all the lineups that you can afford to screw around and put the first two guys on for free, this lineup is around the bottom of the list.
  18. adambr2
    There’s too much organizational pitching talent here to be throwing out Gasser every 5 days,
  19. adambr2
    Not great
  20. adambr2
    We call that, “no harm, no foul.”
  21. adambr2
    To go along with the theme of the thread though, if I’m making an all in trade, I’m not looking at Abrams. I’m going after Bobby Witt Jr. If I’m making a move like that I’m going after a guy who can be a franchise cornerstone for a long time, That's only assuming that the rumors are actually true that they are taking calls on him, which I tend to doubt that they actually are.
  22. adambr2
    Plus I wouldn’t even say those were really “all-in” moves. They were adding what they felt were foundational pieces and turned out to be right.
  23. adambr2
    I think people dramatically overestimate how much even an “all-in” move actually moves the needle. If I wanted to be very generous, I would guess that as of today, our odds of going to the World Series this year are probably around 15%. If I’m being generous. If you ask Vegas, it’s lower than that. That isn’t being negative, that isn’t a lack of faith in the team. That’s just the reality of going up against the field of other NL teams trying to all accomplish the same goal. Being good isn’t enough. You always have to be lucky. The foundation of what we already have is the basis for our chances. Anything we add, is just incremental. How much is it worth giving up to increase our World Series chances from 15% to 18%, hypothetically speaking?
  24. adambr2
    The 1999-2006 A’s is a pretty comparable era. 2008 to present Rays have been a pretty sustained track record of small market success with a few lean years mixed in there.
  25. adambr2
    My belief is that the Brewers don’t look at contending windows. I believe they believe they have a shot to win this year, to win in 2029, and by 2035 I think they plan to have just as good of a shot as they did in 2026 and 2029. The model here is sustainability, which is why we can’t get too attached to names here because we’ll have our new Brice Turangs and William Contreras by then, and new prospects that are teenagers right now and unknown to us but probably on the radar of our scouting department will backfill when guys like Made and Pena make it up here and replace the future Yankees and Dodgers on our current MLB roster. Very long-winded way of me saying, I think an all-in type move like we saw with Sabathia and Greinke probably died out in the Doug Melvin era and isn’t something we are likely to see under the current FO.
