    Great job Craig! Nice call!

    "Andrew McCutchen wasn't in our budget, but it's Andrew McCutchen." - Our front office, thinking it's 2014, apparently

    As others mentioned he doesn't have the extreme platoon splits that would help us against our LHP struggles, so he's not the answer.

    Keep winning series? We've won 1 out of our last 6 series. We didn't go from comfortably in 1st place to 5+ back by winning series'.

    Do Packer fans here remember around 2011 when we thought, "man, we are so lucky to have Mike McCarthy. This guy just knows the sport. This guy will be here as long as he wants and will have a a street in the city named after him", and then about 5 years later we realized, "Nah, there's nothing special about this guy." That's kind of where I'm at with Craig Counsell.

    Nah, we're done.

    Real nice work by Rogers tonight. He deserved better.

    Christian Yelich has single handedly set this franchise back 8 years. Actually I can't really blame him. The guys who signed him have set this franchise back 8 years.

    Thanks again, Yeli.

    So much for cruising against the bad teams just because we showed so much fight against the Dodgers.

    Maybe this is nostalgia speaking, but in 2018 it felt pretty neck and neck. I think we even had the better regular season record. I guess I was saying the gap has widened significantly since then.
  12. adambr2
    The talent difference between the Dodgers and Brewers is pretty vast. 1 out of 3 at home is about right, nothing to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, that means we've fallen well behind the 8 ball in the NL since 2018, much because of Yelich simply not being who we hoped.

    The Dodgers have a team full of stars. We have Brent Suter.

    Bar none one of the worst current contracts in baseball.

    Good thing he doesn't cost us much money.

    Nice job by Milner. Better win it here.

    Fitting for Phil Bickford to come mow us down. Who did we DFA him for again?

    This is a pretty major accusation. Not saying an untrue one, I have no idea one way or another, but a small market extending a $215M franchise record extension to a player with a known poor work ethic would be egregiously negligent.

    Yeah, there isn't much you can do other than this. He's also got the full NTC anyway. I suppose somewhere down the line 3 or 4 years from now, if he stays somewhat productive, I could see a deal where he goes to a big market club in a salary dump type situation where we pick up half the tab, if he's receptive to moving.
  21. adambr2
    Yelich's contract is probably 100 million or more of negative underwater value. I know the big market clubs have a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they're going to just eat our bad investment just for Josh Hader.
  22. adambr2
    I absolutely do not expect this, I expect to be relatively dominated and lose at least 5 out of 7 against the Dodgers because they are very good and we are very average.
  23. adambr2
    I mean I don't like their chances much at this point, but not much you can do anymore other than play out the fiddle and see what happens. Nothing about Houser and Topa makes me think that our reinforcements are going to move the needle much. Maybe Cousins I guess.
  24. adambr2
    I've accepted that Burnes will be a Brewer for no more than 2 more seasons. The Brewers are stuck in the position of being a good but not great baseball club, and simply can't compete with the resources of the larger market clubs in the NL to expect to come out of the NL anytime soon without a whole lot of good luck going right in October. Peralta and Ashby have been extended. Perhaps Woodruff, somewhat less costly of an asset than Burnes, could be extended to help keep the pitching staff mostly in tact? A trade for Burnes could come close to a Juan Soto type return in terms of capital for setting the club up for the future, while at the same time the team could avoid a full blown rebuild and still reasonably expect to be competitive in the weak NL Central. If you don't move him this offseason, the returns start diminishing significantly. Go for it with your ace the next 2 seasons, or move him at the winter meetings?

    While Adames has been somewhat disappointing this year, both sides have to be relatively happy with how this one turned out.
