    It's been a bad last 5 minutes for TLR.
  2. adambr2
    Not a great situation to stare at one right down the middle.
  3. adambr2
    Bummer, he can't throw a strike.
  4. adambr2
    Good decision by Urias. Saved a run, for now. Not doubling off Anderson.
  5. adambr2
    That's what walks will do to you.
  6. adambr2
    4.4 BB/9. So yes, almost exactly.

    Keston could be spotted a 3-0 count in every AB and still find a way to strike out 30% of the time.
  8. adambr2
    Obnoxious amount of White Sox fans there. Feels like a Brewers/Cubs game in Milwaukee.

    It's got to be season load management related. They've dabbled with piggybacking Houser and Lauer already this season. Might continue to see more of it.

    Really blowing a lot of opportunities today. No room for error for Freddy.
  11. adambr2
    Of course.
  12. adambr2
    It seems like Brian Gutekunst is pretty good at the talent evaluation part of his job and pretty lousy at the part of his job of managing people.
  13. adambr2
    Lot of whining from Goodwin for an obvious strike.

    "Big" in this case is very much in the eye of the beholder. Grabbing a well-known guy, as you are obviously advocating, is definitely not the only key to a successful trade season. As Stearns says, sometimes those under-the-radar moves are the ones that make the most difference. Move such as Pomeranz and Jordan Lyles in the past. Moves that were both panned pretty viciously here, but turned out to be extraordinary. I mean, and it's no offense to anyone here, but a lot of this board are huge analytics nerds. There's nothing wrong with that. But, when it comes to trades, you don't have to know analytics to know that the better of a player(more talented) you acquire, the more likely you are to get better production. Again, there are no guarantees with anything, but for example(and it's JUST an example people), if Team A acquires Vlad Guerrero jr for the stretch run, and team B acquires Eric Sogard, which team is more likely to get better production down the stretch? Now granted, it may not necessarily end up that way, but don't you always want to tilt the odds in your favor as much as possible?? Simple logic. To be a successful MLB franchise, you either need to be an analytics nerd or have zillions of dollars. We don't have zillions of dollars.

    There's no doubt that the Brewers are a very well run organization, but if I had to guess whether or not Mark A has interjected his input at times over the years on emotional involvement, my guess would be yes.
  16. adambr2
    I don't know. Lewis Brinson was our consensus #1 prospect. Ortiz was up there.
  17. adambr2
    It's crazy that we are still talking about the same Nelson Cruz (who is still very good) that we talked about trading in 2006. And he was an old prospect at the time.
  18. adambr2
    I just want to remind you that you were all-in on trading Burnes and Peralta for immediate help two years ago at the deadline. You can't run an organization with nothing but the here and now in mind. That will run a franchise into the ground.
  19. adambr2
    I can't think of a single trade deadline that you haven't complained if they aren't all in. What "needle mover" are you looking for? Adames was a pretty big needle mover, no? And yeah, good relievers are needle movers, especially in the playoffs when you can shorten your pitching staff considerably.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/07/nelson-cruz-trade-rumors-twins-national-league.html Some NL teams are looking into Nelson Cruz. Curious if this is something that the Brewers would kick around.
  21. adambr2
    The Suns shot 68% from 3 in Game 5, turned the ball over 8 times, and lost. The Bucks shot 22% from 3 in Game 6, turned the ball over 18 times, and won. Weird game sometimes. Every game is really its own animal where a multitude of things can win it or lose it for you.
  22. adambr2
    But that template was my entire suggestion for Adames. Buy out arbitration, tack on team options.
  23. adambr2
    I was going to say, the Brewers are absolutely the Cubs' rival. Maybe 2005 you could say otherwise, but things have changed since then. It doesn't mean the Cardinals aren't their older and bigger rival but as the previous poster said, you aren't limited to one. The Dodgers and Giants being rivals doesn't mean the Dodgers and Padres aren't.
  24. adambr2
    I don't care what the team they go to does if the Brewers are out of it. For the record, I agree with you guys on this. If we were rebuilding and the Brewers traded Hader tomorrow, I'd rather him go to the Cardinals for the best possible return than the Blue Jays for a lesser return. But that's just my own personally preference and I'm only saying that's not usually the way it works in reality.
  25. adambr2
    It would be ironic if the Brewers lost a game celebrating a Bucks championship and lost the division by 1 game.
