    LOL No...Here's the thing guys..I look at the postseason and the Padres and Dodgers specifically and I ask myself do the Brewers legitimately have enough to compete with them in a 7 game series, without pretty much needing everything to go right. The answer to that is no. Yes, there is ALWAYS luck involved, and the Brewers aren't going to come close to the talent the Dodgers have, but what I would like to see is for them to try to eliminate the need for absolutely every single thing to have to go right. In order to do that they need more pieces. The bigger the better. You aren't going to completely eliminate the "luck" factor, but I do believe you can at least try to minimize it. Well they have been a full run better in ERA than any other team in baseball the last month, and they have arguably a better top 3 in their rotation and a better closer than either of those teams, which are widely considered important components of a playoff team. So I don't know what exactly you are seeing that the rest of us are missing in the comparison. By the way, one if not both of the Padres and Dodgers will have to win a do or die single WC game just to make it to the first round.

    Norris would be a great LOOGY. Unfortunately the 3 batter rule has just kind of made LOOGYs obsolete.

    Meh. Could be a revival candidate, but I would rather not have to bank on it. Hope this isn't our only pen move.

    Rogers still makes a ton of sense. We can afford to wait out the injury, and we still control him for '22 as a pen option for next year. I don't know that the discount will be huge though. The Twins can just wait to deal him until the offseason when he's healthy if they don't get a good offer.

    Maybe my memory is wrong, but this doesn’t feel true at all. While some deals are announced after 3pm they are almost always announced in the few minutes after. The prospects involved are usually like any other deal and announced at about the same time, but maybe takes a little bit. Yeah there's usually some delay in what is done exactly by the deadline, but it's usually all out there within an hour of the deadline or so.

    Rizzo seems like a good dude. No problem with him.
  7. adambr2
    Freddy gives us 6 innings on only 68 pitches. We get a long outing out of him and still get to save his arm. Remember when this guy used to be inefficient?
  8. adambr2
    Lol. That called strike 1 to Reyes was probably one of the worst calls you'll ever see.

    https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/07/details-on-aaron-rodgers-reworked-contract#ref=home Part of the renegotiated contract is that we cannot go after Rodgers' bonus money if he retires. So if he wants to be traded next summer and threatens to retire, there is no digging in our heels and letting him do so. Just trade him.

    Ok, and again, if Ruiz and Gray were on the table and so were Mitchell and Turang and they valued them equally and Scherzer said "I want to go to the West Coast", then it's a moot point.
  11. adambr2
    Well, you don't know that they didn't, and if Scherzer said "no thanks", it ends right there. Also, I don't know if the Nats would have taken that. The Dodgers gave up a hell of a top 2 prospects that you can't just make up for in quantity.
  12. adambr2
    I wonder if Vogelbach's roster spot, in addition to Shaw's, is in any danger.
  13. adambr2
    Don't know why the Dodgers would be planning on trading Turner after this season. It's not like they can't afford him in arbitration, he's really good, and can help them win a WS next year too.
  14. adambr2
    Okay, now I ask this in all honesty and not trying to be a jag off...But people say it's hard to compete with the Dodgers at the trade deadline etc. Let's assume for a minute Scherzer would have waived his no trade clause for Milwaukee...The Brewers could have at least come close to this right?? I mean a Small and/or Ashby, Turang + package comes very close, doesn't it?? If not even better?? Nope. Not enough. The Dodgers have better high end prospects. Mitchell is probably close to one of these two, but realistically we could probably offer both him and Turang and still it's not enough. You're probably needing to offer someone like Freddy Peralta to top the Dodgers offer, and that's just counterproductive, and if Scherzer won't waive, a moot point anyway.
  15. adambr2
    I was thinking the same today about Yelich....if only. Course the Dodgers probably feel the same way about Bellinger.
  16. adambr2
    Come on guys. Not pretty.
  17. adambr2
    As frustrating as this is, I wonder how Padre fans feel, having thought they had him.
  18. adambr2
    If the Nats and Padres have an agreement on Scherzer and are just waiting on his waiving the NTC, what's the holdup? Isn't that what he wanted, to go to the West Coast?
  19. adambr2
    Hand is a guy I wanted a lot at the beginning of the season. However, there are a lot of warning signs with him this year and his peripherals don't look great. Velocity was dropping every year, came back up a little this year but now his walks are up and his K's are down. He just looks like someone who might be on the decline. I think they'll still look for reliever help but in another direction.
  20. adambr2
    I mean I think he'll get a day off or two because pretty much everyone does these days. But yeah, I agree he was acquired to start.
  21. adambr2
    But they are doing a lot of piggybacking lately to keep innings down. So if they keep doing that they really can't have too many good starters, and it can help save the pen too.
  22. adambr2
    I'm shocked the return was so light. Joc Pederson brought back a decently better return.
  23. adambr2
    So, is Shaw just getting straight up DFAed when he comes off the IL? There just isn't room for him.
  24. adambr2
    Wow. That's a terrible call, but we'll take it.
  25. adambr2
    Throw strikes when you have a big lead. It's not a lot to ask.
