    Gotta challenge that, Bill. Come on.

    Sanchez has an .809 OPS against lefties this year. Yelich, .651.

    Sproat hasn’t pitched in 4 days I think though, so as far as pen arms go he’s pretty fresh.

    You don’t have to have minor league games left to be optioned, though. The service time credit (and MLB pay) benefits Anderson, not the organization. If there was no injury, I think they’d prefer to go the legitimate route of just optioning him, which they had no problem doing in August, and keeping him on his normal routine rather than hitting the shelf for an automatic 15 days. I understand this line of thinking on Bryse Wilson. Just don’t think there’s anything to see here on this occasion as manipulation just wouldn’t make much sense.

    Why couldn’t they just option Anderson for Sproat if they wanted to anyway if both were healthy?
  6. adambr2
    I like the lineup today, pretty much follows my template above, I’d have Yelich 6th instead of 5th but not a huge deal there.
  7. adambr2
    Few things I would like to see happen down the stretch: 1) Just make Ortiz the everyday 3B. Your infield defense is completely locked down and you’ve got a pretty good hitter over there to boot. What Hamilton offers in speed and baserunning isn’t enough to offset what he doesn’t do with the bat and doesn’t offer with his defense. 1-2 starts a week against righties is fine. That’s it. 2). By the same token, I’d have Lara over Frelick in RF every day. Look, Lara has been up and down and you’d like to see some more consistency, At the same time, Frelick simply doesn’t offer anything that Lara can’t do as well or better even when neither are on. Lara is, at the very worst, going to give you long ABs to help wear down opposing pitchers and high end defense. Nobody is really getting into any rhythm as far as playing time, so let’s give someone a chance to do so. 3) When you’re going to play Yelich, just stick him at 6 and leave it alone. He was finally starting to come around with less pressure on him near the bottom. I do think that he presses near the top of the lineup and forces himself to try to be that guy when he’s just not at that stage in his career anymore. Just stop moving him around.

    He still has not had a bad start at home since his return. He just happens to be pitching a lot on the road. His next start is lined up for the home stand, I would at least give him that start, and if he implodes, okay, you know there’s a real problem here and it’s not just a home/away thing, If he pitches well, okay maybe there’s still a problem but for whatever reason it’s exacerbated pitching on the road and maybe we can still count on him at home in the playoffs.

    Because a lot of people don’t want to believe that Matt Arnold made a very bad move, So, it’s easier to rationalize (“those prospects are years away so we don’t know if it’s a bad deal yet”, “we needed guys to chew up innings or we’d be in a very bad spot”) than it is to acknowledge the mistake. Matt Arnold is a very good GM and he made a bad decision and bad trade. Both of those things can be true. The one argument about it that I can understand is that there’s still time. Maybe May puts it together in the next month and pitches well in the playoffs and helps us advance. Not holding my breath, but it’s a possibility. I say that mostly because as of right now, we don’t have a number 3 starter for the playoffs so he has as good of a shot as anyone.
  10. adambr2
    It is absolutely, 100% because he’s sucking. Henderson is at about the same amount of innings this season and no one is talking about moving him to the bullpen. You think if Harrison had thrown 6 scoreless innings in his last two outings that Murphy would have been talking about moving him to the pen yesterday? Come on.
  11. adambr2
    Same old Badgers, no difference than last year,
  12. adambr2
    Fickell is just really playing this for pride.
  13. adambr2
    So when you’re down 17 with 15 minutes to go you usually don’t want to try to kill as much clock as possible.
  14. adambr2
    When you’re Notre Dame you can do whatever you want. You can even recover fumbles out of bounds.
  15. adambr2
    Well they responded with a pick 6 last time they responded, so nowhere to go but up from that.
  16. adambr2
    Fickell paying respect to Matt Lafleur with his halftime adjustments,
  17. adambr2
    Annnnnd that’ll do it.
  18. adambr2
    Fickell’s Badger teams always come out like a wet fart in the second half in big games after teasing you for 30 minutes that they were going to hang around. Nothing new here.
  19. adambr2
    Trust me, I take no pleasure in “weaponizing” it as you put it. If each appearance is not to be a referendum on the trade, how about a good appearance? Believe me, if there is a referendum I would much prefer it to be “gee maybe it was worth it, May just might help us win a World Series.” Because that is far what I would rather see happen over being right in my initial disgust over the deal,
  20. adambr2
    He’s a very good GM who has not been very good at the deadline, and it’s okay to say it. I feel like some (not you) can’t fathom that Matt Arnold screwed up. It’s fine. No one expects him to be perfect. I’d like him to be the first to recognize it because that’s how you learn and improve.
  21. adambr2
    We’ll see. We saw that story a lot last year.
  22. adambr2
    Would be winning if we had played a clean game.
  23. adambr2
    So when we really needed space, we took a timeout. When we didn’t really need that much space, we took the delay. Okay.
  24. adambr2
    Well until that.
  25. adambr2
    Good point. Why burn a timeout if you’re just going to punt it anyway and would prefer the extra space?
