Jackie Bradley Jr. is running away with the worst 2021 off-season signing in all of MLB award.
-
Great job Cain.. Please find a way to win this.
-
Rob Manfred managed to take a sport that millennials already hate and make it even less fun to watch. Without a doubt the worst sports commissioner I have seen in my lifetime.
-
It's almost comical at this point how inept this offense is. A leadoff double means nothing anymore.
-
And Shaw follows up the double with an atrocious AB.
-
Whew. Good work by Rasmussen escaping. We desperately needed to keep it at 1.
-
I did too up until the last 150 games or so.
-
Gotta get out of this inning without any damage. A single is probably the game here.
-
JP is the 7th inning guy. Counsell is nothing if not consistent, for better or worse. Having a reliever pigeonholed to an inning with the possible exception of the 9th is just so dumb. That's not directed at you, and I still like and appreciate Counsell, and I'm not saying Rasmussen was a bad move here. But I've been so disappointed with CCs evolution as a bullpen manager.
-
Yep, because the Brewers pen has been terrible. The good parts of the pen have been really good, but the bad have been pretty bad. We definitely won't see Hader today and probably not Devin. I have faith in Feyereisen and even Rasmussen but I want no part of guys like Boxberger or Perdomo.
-
A 9 pitch strikeout. One of the most successful ABs we can hope for from this lineup.
-
If you're Burnes and Woodruff do you even really want to stick around here long-term? As a competitor, I would think that constantly holding lineups to 0-2 runs scored and not being rewarded for it would get disheartening.
-
I mean you have Daniel Vogelbach and Travis Shaw hitting in the 3 and 4 spots in your lineup. I can't even think of a 3/4 combo from the early 2000s Brewers that was that bad.
-
It's not that they don't try. They're just a group of mostly bad hitters.

Grisham is 6 months older than Urias and seems to be making an impact just fine. Players are playing at a high level at younger and younger ages. I doubt they expected Urias to be an immediate star, but I think they at least he'd be able to immediately improve upon our previous SS production. And two points on Davies: 1) He's a notoriously slow starter who had a horrific April and looked much better since. 2) You can't fairly even downgrade the trade for the Padres for whatever Davies does now. They got a great year out of him and then turned around and flipped him as part of a deal for Yu Darvish. Davies was an important part of that deal, not a throw in. They're knocking this trade out of the park. Whatever Davies does now has zero impact on the Padres.
-
Agreed with Roderick. This is a guy who was a legitimate 1st round pick and made some adjustments in the minors which resulted in a vast improvement. There was signs of a breakout coming in the minors well before these 500+ PAs at the MLB level. Very likely that he's the real deal and not another David Bote story.
-
You're not wrong, I had no real reason to think that Keston didn't have an extremely bright future after '19. Sucks. He was THE bat in our system and not getting what we hoped out of him combined with the Yelich injuries is absolutely hamstringing our offense. We'd be right up there with the best teams in the NL this year if we had the Yelich and Hiura we thought we'd get combined with our pitching. I don't see Grisham following the same path as Hiura, less strikeout tendencies and doesn't seem to have the exploitable weaknesses like the high fastball that Hiura struggled with even when he had success. Obviously I'm not going to say it's not possible.

Trent Grisham's .OPS has been in steady decline since his high water mark of 1.025 on April 22 after starting the year on a tremendous hot streak. Perhaps we should hold off at least for a little while longer before anointing him a "star outfielder". The jury is still out on him. Jury is still out on Lauer as well. I don't think it's prudent at this point to call him "almost certainly" anything yet. He has a 117 career OPS+ in 651 plate appearances with high end defense at a premium defensive position. His WAR for a full projected season would have been 6.7 last year and would be at 6.3 so far this year. If he was a Milwaukee Brewer we would most definitely be throwing around the word "star" when discussing him.
-
Really? Cause we have spent a lot of money the last two offseason on OFers without much production. I hope Lauer pitches good, but if he was that promising he would not be in the bullpen. Yes, really. Pitching wins in this league. If Lauer ends up being good it won't matter that Grisham is also good. We are seeing it with our own eyes right now how much pitching truly matters with winning. How good do you expect Lauer to be? If he turns into a left handed ace then yeah it doesn't matter what Grisham is but the dude is almost certainly more of a serviceable 4-5 at best in which case it certainly matters if you gave up a star outfielder for him.

"Brandon Woodruff: First pitcher in Brewers history to allow ≤ 1 run and strike out 10+ in consecutive games and not get the win in either game." - Doug Kern via Twitter
-
Don't really agree that there wasn't much to indicate that Grisham would have staying power in the bigs. Maybe that was true pre-2019, but certainly not when the trade occurred. I think most realized Grisham could be a big loss and we were just hoping Urias would end up being good enough to offset it.
-
Did Braun ever actually say he was retired? I'm guessing one of two things will happen: 1) He is going to wait to join the Brewers in the second half of the season to limit wear and tear on his body and help push for another playoff run. 2) Wait until the fans are back fully (or close) and make one last appearance to do a proper last AB and goodbye. And play 3B for an inning just for Clancy... McCalvy I'm guessing would know better than us, he says Braun is done. IMO he's done.
-
Did I think that? I know Ive been concerned how he would recover from that kneecap. Arenado, I don't think anyone believed he'd be traded for such a small return with money included. He's still being paid more yearly than Yelich. The trade occurred after Yelich's extension after pandemic. Hard sell to fit that one. I'm not sure if you thought that, but I wasn't calling you out specifically. It's true that Arenado will make more than Yelich, but the Cardinals will be on the hook for less (roughly 21M annually).
-
Should have Feyereisen and Rasmussen, and Burnes is still really good. If we can score a few I like our chances.
