    Yeah, the Reds lack pitching and their offense will only continue to age. With St. Louis is stuck in no-man's land where they're not really bad enough to rebuild and not truly that great overall, I agree. I'm dreaming of a Brewers World Series following a Bucks NBA Championship. It's striking to me how different it is to win a Championship in baseball than basketball. In basketball you have to have that Alpha stud. Have to. And a high end 2. In baseball it seems quite a bit different. I can't think of one single Brewer that I can point to and say, "This, this is the guy that makes it happen." It's a lot of guys. It used to be Yelich, but it's really not anymore. The Angels have the two best baseball players on the planet (yeah pretty lost season this year for one of them), and they are perennially mediocre.

    You mean the Reds are maybe not the juggernaut they were purported to be only a few weeks ago by some? Well, knock me over with the feather! I don't want to count our chickens before they hatch but we should be in relatively good position to dominate this division for the next 3 or so years. We've got our 3 headed monster plus Hader and Adames under control for the next 3 years and Peralta for 5 more and Devin for I believe 4. There aren't any substantial losses coming anytime soon and if Ashby follows the same blueprint as the rest of the rotation then look out. I would not expect the Cubs to be down a super long time however. They always have gobs of money to spend which can accelerate their rebuild timeline. I wouldn't be surprised if they are competitive again in '23.

    I am always a little skeptical when rich owners discuss operating in the red or how much money they lost going all in. What they don't mention is that maintaining championship level success and winning a championship also adds both intangible value and tangible value from sales and marketing to the franchise. Sure there might be certain ways in certain years in which "on paper" they're operating in the red. But these guys aren't sustaining a handsome net worth from running unprofitable businesses. They're smart and they don't lose money. In none of that am I suggesting that they should, or suggesting that the Bucks and Brewers owners aren't aggressive in spending to help their teams win.

    81 wins. I still remember how big of a deal it was to win 81 games in 2005. To not have a losing record. It had been 13 years since that had happened. Hard to believe how far the franchise has come since then.

    A 5th is whatever anyway. As Homer said, a sunk cost. It wasn't a great investment but 5ths are a crapshoot anyway. Many don't even make it out of their first training camp with a spot.
  7. adambr2
    Good, I can stop hearing about how secretly good JK is.

    The Equanimeous St. Brown era is over before it ever really started.

    Boxberger is a vet, I don't think a 3rd consecutive day of work is a huge concern for him. Hader has done it, but it's rare. All depends on how they feel I think. If any of the 3 would be truly unavailable I would guess it would be Devin.
  10. adambr2
    Yeah Dobbins, Etienne, Akers would all be guys to target in a format like that depending on how much roster space you can spare. With only 1 IR spot though that doesn't leave you much flexibility.
  11. adambr2
    Yeah, it's not and probably never really was. Given that he hasn't played baseball all year and wouldn't be a sure thing, I don't think we could spare the roster space if we wanted to.
  12. adambr2
    I think everything JBJ sees looks like a HOF pitch to him.
  13. adambr2
    We did our Dynasty Rookie/FA draft on Saturday and Callaway went top 12...not rounds, 12th pick overall. Ok I don't like him quite that much.
  14. adambr2
    I got Marquez Callaway in the 13th. I think this guy is gonna be a dude.
  15. adambr2
    We faced Quintana many times as a Cub and it feels like we have about 6 career hits off him. I think I might have rather faced their regulars.

    At some point the math becomes a serious problem for a trailing team and we are at that point. The Brewers will go into mini slumps like any other team in baseball, but they are too talented to go completely into a spring of 2015 type spiral. If you wanted to convince me that they could finish their last 31 games with a 15-16 record, I would say that is possible. Even if that would happen, the Reds would need a scorching 23-7 finish just to tie. I'm not saying go ahead and print the T shirts now but the division race just isn't competitive enough at this point to stress about it IMO.

    It was one thing when he was doing this against MLB pitching but striking out at such an absurd rate against AAA pitching is about as troubling as it gets. There isn't much left to do with Hiura at this point other than give him a fresh start next year in AAA and hope for better results. If there's something they think they can do with him in the offseason to fix things, the time is now. If he's still showing the same results next season, his career may be on life support by that point.

    Am I the only one who wants the NLCS rematch with LA? There’s a reason why SF has so many championships, their ballpark is where your postseason hopes go to die. I’d be just as happy to see them bounced in the wild card game as LA. I mostly don't want that rematch, because the thought of having our World Series hopes destroyed by the freaking Dodgers makes me pretty sick.
  19. adambr2
    I did a double take when I looked at the standings and saw the Reds are only 71-61. They are lucky to be in competition for any playoff spot at all with that record. If they were in the AL they would be neck and neck with the Seattle Mariners, who are 9 over .500 and are facing 1-2% playoff odds. The Brewers are in cruise control mode now, they can go .500 in a September or even a few games under .500 and it will be of zero consequence to the end result. There's a part of me that wants us to do not great, maybe a split against the Giants, I really want them to hold off the Dodgers in the West. Obviously I'll be rooting for the Brewers but my heart isn't all the way into it knowing our games are of little consequence right now to our playoff positioning and wanting the Dodgers to have a chance to lose a WC game and/or be on the road in the NLDS.

    aaron ashby is optioned before hoby milner? i'd be grooming ashby for the postseason roster, and not with class aaa nashville. Ashby seems to be primarily a starter now. Do they need 7 starters in September? Absolutely. They will likely use a combination of starters for short 3-5 inning type outings in September and October similar to how they used their late season arms in 2018.

    It doesn't necessarily trump it, but comparing QB draft picks from decades ago to modern QB prospects isn't accurate either. QBs are better and generally more NFL ready as rookies and 2nd year players in today's league than they were 15-20 and more years ago.
  22. adambr2
    Fixed it for you.... I dunno, I mean the last few years have yielded some pretty good QBs. Too early to grade '21, but Burrow and Herbert look like home runs. Too soon to know on Tua but looks promising. Kyler was a homerun and Danny Dimes has been a mixed bag so far but with very little supporting cast. Allen and Lamar have been stars. Mayfield has been at least better than what Cleveland has had. I'm going to withhold judgment on Darnold until he gets to play with an organization that hasn't been the Adam Gase led New York Jets. The only QBs taken since the '18 draft that look like total busts to me are Rosen and Haskins.

    I have lost all hope that this guy will ever be a productive major league baseball player.
  24. adambr2
    Well the Jags did take Etienne even after Robinson's breakout last year so maybe sell high? Yeah I've shopped him a little, but can't get the offers I'm looking for. I suppose going into the season with some RB depth isn't the worst thing. I'm not top heavy but fairly deep with Jacobs/Robinson/Montgomery/D Harris/Gus/Michel.
  25. adambr2
    I guess Griffin Jax is who we thought he was.
