  1. Just too much swinging at Ball 4 tonight especially with a big deficit.
  2. So he’s essentially Garrett Mitchell if Garrett Mitchell couldn’t play any position and made 25 times as much money.
  3. If it weren’t for the whole long contract and veteran leader thing and longtime tenured Brewer and blah blah blah, there’d be no place and no purpose for Yelich on this team. Average hitters with zero versatility and no defensive value don’t fit the way we build rosters whatsoever.
  4. Being down 3 runs and needing a rally and seeing Luis Rengifo strut up to the plate to start the inning makes me angry.
  5. Grant Anderson has been a nice and underappreciated cog of this pen. Good work bridging the gap after the short start and keeping us in the game.
  6. You’re just lucky their home stadium has a roof or you’d hear about the Legend of the 1982 Brewers during every rain delay.
  7. Man, I really thought that was out, but at least we got 1 back,
  8. This would be a 4 hour game if every pitch that this dumb umpire missed got challenged.
  9. Bauers. You’re not going to make up 4 runs with 1 swing and 1 on. Gotta stay patient. That was WAY out of the zone.
  10. He’s actually better against lefties this season although for his career he’s more of a traditional splits guy. I don't know. At this point in his career he’s just not that valuable of a player, to me. You can’t play him anywhere in the field so there’s absolutely no flexibility which robs every other regular from getting days off from playing in the field. This would be fine if he raked, and he’s not a liability. He just isn’t such a great hitter that your lineup can’t live without him. Very streaky.
  11. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s still our second best starter. It also isn’t realistic to think he’d continue to be a 1.50 ERA starter.
  12. Can’t remember, it was in a thread last week. Basically saying it wouldn’t be worthwhile because as a #3 behind Miz and Harrison, Skubal wouldn’t see enough playoff games.
  13. Basically the same pitches Rengifo saw last AB only this time he didn’t swing at them.
  14. Harrison has been amazing, but all the “we don’t need Skubal, he’d be our #3 starter in the playoffs behind Miz and Harrison” rhetoric is just a tad premature. Let’s give him more than 11 starts before we proclaim him better than the back to back AL Cy Young winner.
  15. Did we get a minor league homeplate umpire as well?
  16. Good to see you do know how to tap your helmet, Bill.
  17. Hope the offense keeps it up today, because it appears that Kyle Harrison is going to have an “ERA correction” game.
  18. The Bauers/Vaughn 1B soft platoon would have 20 HR already if Vaughn was healthy all year.
  19. Someone let Rengifo know he doesn’t hit nearly well enough to hack that much out of the zone.
  20. It’s a bit unusual , but not unprecedented, for players to sign extensions during the season. In Lara’s case (if it is indeed an extension), the logic seems to track. It’s unlikely the Brewers would have been interested in a long-term deal with Lara before this season. As the season progressed it’s plausible that the Brewers saw enough to believe that this is someone they wanted to build around and approach Lara’s representation to gauge interest in the last week or two.
  21. Couple questions regarding this: 1) if an extension happens is it immediately necessary to clear a spot on the 40 for Lara? 2) would it make a promotion in the near future more likely, or no impact? It certainly wouldn’t make it less likely and if he’s added to the 40 that certainly helps but as we’ve seen with Pratt it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re coming up. Lara has outperformed Pratt considerably this season, though.
  22. Because once he’s a proven MLB commodity it’s a different conversation and different price point. I’m totally fine if we do 10 of these contracts. If 3 turn out to be superstars. 4 turn out to be serviceable starters, and 3 turn out to be busts, we will come out way ahead. I can understand some skepticism on Lara given his production before this season, but I have a lot of faith if the scouting department feels like he unlocked something. Truth be told Pratt got his deal without really any proven offensive prowess.
