  1. Man they are pressing badly. That was an ugly bottom of the 9th.
  2. I hope Lutz was wise with his 2.5Mish signing bonus, and there is no sarcasm in that statement. There's plenty of reminders out there that no matter how highly touted, it's really hard to get to the show and many don't make it.
  3. I'd say the Dodgers probably belong in that category too but other than that yeah you're not wrong.
  4. You can't perform like this at home against the Pirates and Rockies of the world and pretend you're a contender.
  5. The worst deal is the one that Arnold didn't make. Candelario was available and a strong offer would have brought him in. He'd arguably be the best hitter in our lineup without even stinging the system much. Given what he went for and who he ended up going to, hard not to say that not being more aggressive for Candelario was a bad miscalculation for Arnold that could very well end up costing his team the division.
  6. Right. This ump sucks and we should have roboumps. No argument there.
  7. I think the fact that one person told me it looks like a strike and you told me it's a ball illustrates my point that it was too close to take in that situation.
  8. Could've gone our way, but just too close to take with the bases loaded given the situation and count.
  9. Absolutely disastrous ABs by Yelich and Wiemer.
  10. I have no problem with swinging 3-0 if the batter is Shohei Ohtani and not Willy freaking Adames.
  11. Why would you swing 3-0? Like, why?
  12. We're done playing the Reds. We've got 6 more games against the Cubs. If we're going to have to chase anybody in the last month, I'd rather chase a team that we control our own destiny against.
  13. We're back in 1st, Woodruff is returning, we've still got Burnes going in this series and we're done playing the Braves. Hang in there.
  14. It blows my mind how fast this board changed its tune on Luis Urias. Just last year he was a 3.1 WAR player. Just a few short months ago some had him pegged as team MVP. The consensus from most is that he was a key cog of our infield, we won the Grisham trade, etc. etc. Literally a mere 55 ABs later returning from a significant injury and now we're just thrilled to have him gone for anything we can get.
  15. I hope we win the division but frankly either of the Reds or Cubs would be far more enjoyable teams for the fans of MLB to watch.
  16. Hey we our 3rd best in NL at run prevention. Our own runs, but still.
  17. Nice rally and win. They couldn't afford to drop another to the Nats, and they didn't. Should be back within half a game.
  18. I wouldn't want to upend my life for 2 months either if I had a say in the matter. It was his contractual right, bargained by his agent, not to be traded to the Dodgers. To me that's the only explanation he owes.
  19. I'm old enough that the pitches I remember were fastball, curveball, changeup, and maybe a forkball. Now I see terms like "sweeper" and I just give up trying to keep up on what pitch does what.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
