    As they showed last week, good luck finding 3 to 4 needle moving trades that are going to put the Brewer lineup anywhere close to contending against one with Acuna, Albies, Murphy, Olson, Riley, etc. The 2023 Brewers aren't a couple moves away from going somewhere in the postseason. Gotta be patient right now. There's a time to go for it, but this team ain't it.

    Division so bad that it was on a platter for the taking this year and we're going to lose out on it to the Reds and maybe even the Cubs.

    I'm tempering my optimism on Blalock a lot more than most. He's coming off a major injury and just made High A at age 22. He was the 43rd ranked prospect in the Red Sox system. He's about as much of a lottery ticket as a prospect can get. If we had sold Urias for Blalock 4 months ago, this board would have surrounded Arnold's house with pitchforks.

    Really dislike this. Was he just a total malcontent in Nashville or something? A few months ago, this guy looked like one of our infield building blocks, and we already are thin on middle infielders. A couple rough months and we end up basically just giving him away? Hate it. It Turang was impressing I would sort of get it but yeah...I don't understand this at all.

    The Brewers know exactly what we know. They aren't talented enough, especially on offense, to make a deep playoff run likely, but they have some pieces a year or two away that are pretty promising. So their strategy reflects that, low cost moves with really no risk that might patch up the really weak points, but nothing major. They know they're probably not going anywhere and weren't one major piece away from becoming anything close to the NL favorite. They did enough to at least give them a shot at the division and see what happens from there. I think it's more likely than not that Burnes is on the move in the offseason.

    Remember the Brewer era when we kept asking why we had no pitching and they said, "Well, we have Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun."

    This team really has no business buying. Their negative run differential suggests they aren't a particularly good team, and should they manage to eek out the division, I think the Braves have demonstrated how well the Brewers stack up against the NL's best. They are going to lose Woodruff and Burnes for nothing and have zero to show for it. With the upcoming talents they have in Biloxi, they should just be patient and sell Burnes while they can to beef up the farm for their next window, but they won't.

    I fully expected the compensation to leave us saying, "we didn't beat THAT?"
  9. adambr2
    Absolutely not. This is one we need to be patient with. Cost control is so important for us, and I'd much rather have an extra year of Chourio at age 26 than an extra year now at age 19. If he could walk onto that field and be a bona-fide star from Day 1? Then sure, maybe, but he's not. He's not ready. Don't get me wrong, he can probably step into an MLB lineup today and not embarrass himself, and maybe even be a benefit, but he's not going to get called up today and be anywhere near the player he has the upside to be in a few years. Stay the course with Chourio. AAA next year, maybe MLB by mid-season.

    Yes and technically there's no ties at 1st either..but in the real world where the calls are still subjectively determined by a human, and not a computer, there are always going to be plays that are so close that they go for or against you about half the time.
  11. adambr2
    The pitch to Riley was one of those pitches that is so borderline, it realistically goes for us 50% of the time and against us 50%. Sucks what happened after, and I'm all about roboumps, but it was nowhere close to egregiously bad where I'm going to blame the 3 runs on it. If we need every 50/50 call to go our way to have any prayer against the Braves in a series, it doesn't bode well.
  12. adambr2
    Guys like Colin Rea at their absolute best are no match for the Braves lineup. Sad thing is he hasn't even really been bad at all today.
  13. adambr2
    Adames doing everything he can to kill rallies today.
  14. adambr2
    Smith-Shawver doesn't have it today. Pour it on, no lead is safe against this lineup.
  15. adambr2
    Tie game!
  16. adambr2
    There's the potential for more from this Brewer lineup, but they've got to find upgrades for guys like Turang and Perkins.
  17. adambr2
    About as predictable as a bottom of the 1st as you'll ever see.
  18. adambr2
    Yeah. If we can take 1 out of 3 I would not be disappointed.
  19. adambr2
    Needed Houser to be on tonight. He was not.
  20. adambr2
    Huge hit by Weimer. Couldn't afford to come up empty handed there.
  21. adambr2
    Get Turang back to AAA
  22. adambr2
    This is why the Cardinals are always out there on their own little island oblivious to the fact that the entire world hates them. Perhaps it is not 1986 anymore and we should no longer accept throwing an object at a high rate of speed in retaliation as acceptable going forward (and even it you do accept it as normal, what an asinine reason for "retaliation" in this instance.)
  23. adambr2
    This is obvious, but we need some help offensively.
  24. adambr2
    He's got a Craig Counsell type ceiling. Might be able to skate through and have a long MLB career on the strength of defense and positional versatility. I'm not concerned because my expectations weren't very high. Just one of those 1st round picks that never really lived up to the billing, while also not being a bust, because hey he did make it here. But is he ever going to be a core player, no he is not.
  25. adambr2
    Man. This could have been a big rally inning if Contreras had had a better approach.
