I can't believe they won this game.

Get a break on a flagrant foul and get 1 whole point off the whole sequence. Nice job, guys.
-
Giannis has absolutely choked at the line today.
-
I see McKinney was DFAed. I totally missed Jacob Nottingham being DFAed again. I'm not surprised as Pina and Narvaez are both back, but it sure seemed like we have better (worse) options on the 40.

If only it were that simple just to plug one players WAR in and draw a conclusion. I’ll be willing to bet the difference between Urias and Adames will be offset by the difference between Lindbolm, Yardley and Rasmussen and Feyereisen. They’re deep in the bullpen but it’s a gamble that they have a better chance to win counting on Lindblom, Yardley etc and adding a better shortstop I wouldn't call this bullpen deep. They have some good arms at the top. It's a pretty sharp drop-off once you get to 4-7. We will have to see what Richards brings to the table.

justin topa transferred to 60-day injured list
adambr2 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
In other words, Topa is not going to help the Brewers this season. -
I sure hope not. He needs more time imo. I know he’s only had 30 ABs but he is slashing .433/.514/.833 so he clearly found something down there. Might as well bring him up while he is seeing the ball well. How does one slash that and still strike out 40% of the time? That's impressive. You have to strike out for almost every out you make.
-
It feels like we have no real shot to win the Houser/Anderson starts right now. We can't even win with Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta going, so it's almost impossible when our starters actually give up runs.
-
I mean yeah, tonight, for one night, it doesn't matter? There will be plenty of times where Devin and Hader can't go the entire way in close games and it will matter.
-
My God, this guy is just not an MLB pitcher.
-
Look at this lineup and tell me who is drastically underperforming career norms? JBJ is really the only hitter who is significantly worse than you would expect. Everybody else really isn’t underperforming, they just aren’t good. If you want to tell me Cain is as well then fine. We will have to disagree as I don’t expect a guy at the tail end of his career, who hadn’t played baseball in a year and half, to be any better than he has been. Haines will eventually take the fall but the front office is largely responsible for this Stearns & Co. have put together a terrible roster. There's no doubt about it. It wasn't done overnight. It was done systematically over the last couple years through bad trades and bad signings.
-
I like your optimism that we will score 2 or more runs the rest of this game. Glad to hear you are confident in the offense. Wouldn't matter if we did, Lindblom isn't done giving up runs. I didn't think we'd score 4.
-
If you think regular season bullpen depth is not very important Josh Lindblom may have something to say about that this year.
-
Josh Lindblom is really bad.
-
106 off the bat. You better have some top notch defense behind Josh Lindblom.
-
I never thought I'd see the day when we got 2 ducks on the pond with Yelich up and I'm satisfied with his RBI groundout.
-
You don't see a ton of these trades but they do happen (Arenado, Stanton). Difference is Stanton and Arenado were still really good. At this point if he doesn't turn it around like soon you're talking about basically agreeing to just give him away and take a big chunk of his contract with you to get someone to roll the dice on him.
-
Mercy this team is not good.
-
Almost every reliever in baseball has a better arm than Suter so I don't know what point that was trying to make. I brought up your posts being high on JP because he had almost no value before the season started. The fact that he had a solid 19 innings this season really shouldn't change that much. He was coming back to earth recently and might not be a great reliever moving forward. I am not a huge fan of trading JP and Drew but you have to give something to get something. I feel this is a nice job of taking a calculated risk to try and improve the team. I haven't been against the trade. I think it's a good value. I also think it definitely weakens the pen.
-
It definitely hurts because my favorite team committed what basically amounts to their life savings on the rest of his career and it is almost impossible for them to be successful over that time if he is not good.
-
So we couldn't solve Jeff Hoffman tonight. I don't think Brewer fans have a full appreciation for how bad that Christian Yelich contract could end up being. It has the potential to run this franchise into the ground for years.
-
I'm sorry but pitching is judged based on getting outs, not based on how fast you throw. I'd love to see your pre-season posts that were so high on JP. Never said I was "so high on JP." I said he had a better arm than Brent Suter. Suter is a "guy". Like Alex Claudio was a guy. They do some things well. Neither is the 3rd best reliever in a good bullpen.
-
Nah, I don't agree. Bullpen depth is important. The Kansas City Royals won a World Series with a totally mediocre team otherwise. The Brewers don't seem to agree with you much either, since they're very active in any contending year at upgrading bullpen depth at the deadline. I do agree that relievers can be volatile and tough to project and you have to keep then in mind when investing in relief help, but you can't just throw crap at the wall for 162 games and expect to get away with it.
-
Huh? I am warming up to the trade, but 1) Feyereisen was definitely one of our top 3 relievers 2) Unless you are trading a couple garbage AAAA arms, which these guys were not, it still hurts your bullpen. We're still going to have to replace two relievers with depth that we don't have. Hader, Williams and Suter are better in the pen than JP. Not sure why anyone would overrate him for a good 19 innings to start the year. If you think a 31 year old soft tossing lefty with no stuff who relies purely on deception and timing is/was our 3rd best reliever, then I would say that pretty accurately illustrates the point of those who think the bullpen is bad. Arm-wise and ability-wise, yeah, no question, JP is better than Suter. Rasmussen is better than Suter.
-
Why are you getting mad that you displayed his stats to prove that I was wrong that he isn't a good hitting pitcher and I simply pointed out that the average pitcher is worse? He's been hitting well this year. I'm not saying in a vacuum to expect the pitcher to come through, but cumulatively I expect us to be able to cash in on some scoring opportunities and be able to score runs off terrible pitchers like Jeff Hoffman. And yet here we are again, continuing to piss away chances and down by 3. I thought his 4 career hits talked more loudly than his irrelevant OPS but wherever you want to find positivity I'm not against it. I have no doubt I'm being partially irrational. I'm just frustrated and tired of seeing us not score and subsequently not win night after night.
