There definitely was. My comment was more a tongue-in-cheek ribbing of the Stearns haters. I personally still really like Urias's upside, and am pulling for him. Grisham's productivity is certainly giving the early returns to the Stearns haters, though, unfortunately. It does finally look like the Brewers may get something out of Lauer, though, as well. I don't think you could find a bigger Stearns fan than me from his hiring until the '19 season. I have never considered myself a Stearns hater. However, if you really look at every individual move since the end of '19 (I think too often people really on the narrative that we made the playoffs more lately so he must be doing great), it's been whiff after whiff after whiff. There's a couple good moves in there. Feyereisen. Wong looks fine so far. But if you really dive into the moves the last 18 months, it's been a brutal stretch for Stearns and Arnold.
-
Yes, the consensus on that trade around here was generally positive. It certainly looks like we were wrong, and Stearns was wrong.
-
I really hope that is not why he traded Grisham. I think he screwed up and made a bad trade, but I really hope it was just because he loved Urias and not to scapegoat Grisham after the playoff game error. I would lose a lot of respect for him if that were the case.
-
In a vacuum, I'd be content with that production from the shortstop position. In context of our activities the last 18 months, if that is what we get going forward, it essentially means not only did we did not upgrade from Arcia at all at that position, but we paid a very heavy price for that lateral move.
-
I hope we can turn it around, because we'd be a bad fit for a seller. Hader would be the only obvious trade piece. Everything else would be either uninteresting crap, or pieces that we want to build around for the future.
-
They also still have at least two lefties who can play 1st in Shaw and McKinney. Vogelbach probably doesn't last through May on the roster if he doesn't hit soon.
-
Nottingham is nothing special, but honestly there are probably 5 to 10 guys on this roster that deserve to be DFAed before he gets it again. I can't even really make any case for Vogelbach keeping a spot over Nottingham other than Vogelbach being left handed.
-
A big chunk their preferred starters are on the DL (Burnes, Anderson, Narvaez, Yelich) they’ve had a tough schedule to start the year, and Miami can pitch... they’ll be okay All I said was that if it's a lost year for Yelich, I'd put them closer to a 75 win team than a 90...so basically without Yelich I'd take the under on 82.5. That seems optimistic to me, frankly.
-
If this is a lost Yelich season I would guess that this is closer to a 75 win team than a 90 win team.
-
Bettinger must have trained with Jeff Suppan all winter.
-
Haha. I mean honestly, I know against the lefty you are going to have most of your righties in there, but you'd think especially on a bullpen day you'd want at least one righty on your bench. Seems like they go a little overboard every year on their lefties and end up in this situation regularly.
-
I feel like every year we have numerous games where we end up needing a big hit off the bench and have to go with a trash lefty/lefty matchup. Is it that difficult to construct a lineup and bench with some balance?
-
So he should have been out by a mile or what? Can't watch.
-
Imagine my surprise when I saw In Play, Run(s) on Pitch 6 to Reyes.
-
I mean Arcia was worth next to nothing and he brought back next to nothing. I'm sure both sides will probably end up rather unhappy with what they got.
-
I don't think division games even matter any more maybe for a tie breaker or something but that is about it. Surely there are Milwaukee Bucks Central Division Champs shirts floating around out there.
-
At least Ashby had a nice debut. He's going to get forced up sooner rather than later because of the guys in front of him.
-
Yep, Bettinger is a guy who is just not ready for this level and is just kind of forced into it at this point...but as far as others, this is kind of what happens when your roster is loaded with guys that are debatably even worthy of a spot on a 40 man.
-
Because you cheer for the Milwaukee Brewers.
-
Lol Isan Diaz of course. This is going from just a bad stretch to being in total free fall.
-
Fun fact #1: The Bucks are the only NBA team to have not lost a game against a team in their division. Fun fact #2. I had to look up to see who was in the Bucks division. Does anyone associated with the NBA care about divisions at all?

Brewers sign Hernán Pérez to minor league deal
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Amazing how easy it is to improve your offense with a league minimum minor league signing. It's alarming to me how many "dime a dozen" guys on our this roster, both 26 and 40. Some of it is injuries, and some is just really bad roster construction. -
Guy at the bottom of the order leads off with a double. Pitcher can't get him over to 3rd. Then your #2 hitter looks at a 3rd strike with runners on, and your #3 hitter strikes out swinging at a pitch a foot high. This is just such a terrible fundamental team.

Brewers sign Hernán Pérez to minor league deal
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Honestly, he's probably one of our 8 best options right now, sadly. -
First and a fourth, just to be accurate. Whoops. That's what I get for relying off of memory. Thanks, 1st+4th as you said.
