justin topa transferred to 60-day injured list
adambr2 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Topa hype looks too familiar to the Ray Black hype to me. I of course hope he can be a huge addition as well. Just would prefer to keep my expectations in check until Topa can justify the hype. -
He had that sky high infield popup on a 3-0 meatball just a couple days ago.
-
Not going to get through 9 by then. Maybe 8. Will be interesting to see if they try to play through some garbage just to finish and if they don't, how much they will be willing to wait for one inning or less with a blowout score.
-
I try to keep Joey Votto in mind when I see Yelich struggle so much. It looked like Votto was completely cooked a couple years ago.
-
BA: "Will he go back out for the 7th? We'll see!" He's at 67 pitches, Brian.
-
Game is an official game, barring the Cubs tying this thing, lol
-
Tom Seaver and Aaron Nola are pretty good company.
-
I'm kind of hoping for 2 quick innings now even if it means we go down quickly. Let's get this through 5 and not have to worry about finishing it later.
-
If it is 10-0 and the game is delayed after 5, would the blowout score factor in to a decision whether to wait out a 2 hour delay or just call the game, or wouldn't it make any difference?
-
I’ve learned two things today. One being that it’s supposed to be Pat-a-cake and not patty cake and the other being this. I thought this would all be wiped clean. Hell yes. No worries, there are still folks who think a prima donna is a "pre-Madonna".
-
I actually felt a twinge of sorry for Arrieta for a second.
-
The nice thing is even if this game ends up suspended (hopefully won't), all this still counts. Prior to 2020 this game could go 4 innings, we could be up 10-0 and if it got suspended it all just would have gotten wiped clean like none of it ever happened.
-
Aren't we supposed to get all huffy and stare down Arrieta like Wisdom did?
-
I am not sure why BA is questioning the call. He obviously swung.
-
That looked painful. Would probably feel better if he hasn't swung and could just go stand on first.
-
Let's get this through 5 with the lead...
-
Even Yelich's RBIs are a little tough to watch right now, but at this point take it how you can get it. Maybe something like that takes the pressure off and he can get things going.

The struggles of Yelich and Hiura - Let the numbers talk!
adambr2 replied to jonescm128's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Because the brand needs a face and this stuff matters far more than the folks here want to believe. Not just to sell tickets, which always seems to be where this conversation steers. You need a brand for corporate partnerships and the general engagement of the fans. Yelich, after 2 seasons of OPS-ing .750, is still by far the most recognizable likeness on the team, and it's not close. Signing him far away from FA is the only for MKE to sign him. I still don't really fault the Brewers too much for it. But it doesn't change the fact that as of today, it absolutely sucks how this is unfolding. I acknowledge that this part of it matters, but not to the extent that necessitates making these huge deals years out from free agency. Faces of franchises evolve and change over time, and it doesn't mean they need lifetime contracts to ensure they stay the face over their entire career. If you have a consistently good team, you'll have consistently good and marketable players. I doubt they can keep Willy Adames jerseys on the shelf right now, and he's been here 3 months. And if he leaves in 3 years, casual fans will move onto the next flavor. -

I didn't love the Yelich extension the way most did at the time. It never felt like the steal that many seemed to think it was. He was still so far away from free agency and we essentially bought Yelich stock at its highest point. It looks like a terrible investment right now. There's still time for him to turn it around and at least be like the guy he was with the Marlins, but the time for just covering our ears and chalking it up to the weirdness of 2020 has long since passed. I agree with others that Braun's last contract wasn't the albatross that some make it out to be. I didn't like that extension either, I don't understand why we've decided several times to extend guys into their late 30s years away from free agency, but Braun performed well enough to at least basically call the last deal a wash. -
The score is 6-1. Throw strikes. Cmon, man.
-
Man this is a fun inning.
-
I mean they're all meaningless for them. That was kinda the point. Right. But they should still try to win and all that. I get that.

Who would have ever thought Willy Adames would be more feared than Christian Yelich this time last year?
