This team isn't nearly as good as you thought they were in April.
-
Another glorious start.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I wanted Hand in the winter when he could have been acquired for a simple waiver claim. He's still been very solid. I would have interest in most of those guys, obviously Scherzer. Harrison has been hot all year. We'll see what happens with the Nats though, that division looks pretty open and they are starting to get healthy. -
Also, we're a Wisconsin sports team which in and of itself means horrible luck and the Brewers are the unluckiest of them all. So my guess is it's a career ending severed spinal cord and Yelich has a previously unknown clause in his contract that pays him double if an injury forces him into retirement.
-
This team can't be losing games because of bad defense. That's supposed to be our strength.

I knew before even reading this that you would take issue with the 5 names I gave you, you asked me to name 5 so I did. My guess is they would all be capable of more or less performing at the same low level. It's not especially hard to find replacement level production, I disagree, particularly at a position like 1st that is pretty easy to fill. I could have just as easily named 5 marginal AAAA guys from selling teams who have played 1B. I don't know what you were looking for when you asked the question. I don't care about a guy's cut, I care about a .572 OPS at a position that requires offense.

I'm going to guess without looking anything up that 12 three-point attempts from Giannis and 15 rebounds from DDV tonight are both career highs.

He had an MRI done. Most likely if it were a herniated disc this would have been detected and diagnosed.

I’ve been hoping we’d get to see the Phillies bullpen all the fuss was about the over the past year. I would think that Neris is unavailable after 40 pitches last night, but if they were willing to have Nola go 120 to minimize the damage from their pen I guess who really knows.
-
I guess we see why the Phillies wanted to run Nola's arm into the ground.
-
Wait, it's 6-5 suddenly?

I guess you’d have no problem giving me 5 names of first basemen better they could acquire tomorrow? I get it he’s not a sexy player, but the reality is unless you’re a yankee or dodger fan they can’t all be. Vogelbach is cheap, left handed, has hit 40+ homeruns in about a season and a half worth of games. That’s looking at the stat sheet. The Brewers brass have all sorts of information on players besides the stat sheet and their photograph. Gyorko if he's actually available, Braun if he's actually available, Hiura was about the same, Matt Adams probably would have been a better sign, Edwin Encarnacion....that's without speculating into names they could acquire in trade if they really wanted to and without considering the numerous guys at other positions that could probably move to 1B without much concern. I'm not even saying we should actually actively move to replace him right now, but if Hiura doesn't do enough to eventually take that spot back, this offense is in trouble. And I'm not even saying that there aren't guys like this on rosters, I understand that there are, but we have too many that get regular reps on this roster while guys like Brad Miller sign in Philly for 3-4M. All I was saying about Vogelbach is that he's totally replaceable and if he retired tomorrow they would find someone else and it would have no negative affect on the offense. But yes, somebody has to take the reps there.

Stranding a small village in the last week.

We're going to be stuck with JBJ next year too.

Vogelbach is absolutely terrible. He can't defend at a major league level and the one tool he is here for has been a nonexistent one this year. He generally gets ignored because he's fat and jolly and reminds everyone of their beer guzzling buddy when he probably doesn't belong on an MLB roster much less hitting 3rd and starting in an MLB game. I’m glad there are competent professional’s running my favorite team instead of knee jerk reactionaries. The whole team is scuffling but these are pro players at the major league level and 99% of them would have jobs with another pro club if the Brewers suddenly dropped them Good grief. He's a below replacement player for his career. He is the literal definition of a replaceable player. Would he find a job somewhere else? I don't know, but I know they could plug and play just about any alternative at 1B and be just as fine. Guys like Vogelbach are a dime a dozen. It's harsh but true.

I would not be surprised if this team is due for a large correction in May. The roster they've been running with is basically a cross between an AAA team and MLB team. The winning rate they've managed just isn't sustainable over the long haul with this current group.
-
Nice work by Lauer to not let the error lead to a run.
-
Andrew McCutchen season long slump is no match for the arm of Eric Lauer.
-
We have been leaving so many runs out there lately.
-
Man that's a great AB by Taylor. Just continues to impress.

Probably stayed back on the taxi squad the whole time.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. There's no way you can say that Yelich, even healthy is a better value at 26 AAV than Trout is at 35.45 AAV. If you're comparing Yelich's 2018/2019 with Trout, I would take that Yelich at 26 mil through 2028 versus Trout at 35 mil through 2030. But ok, if you subtract Trout from this equation, since he is obviously one of the greatest players of all time, and strictly compare MVP Yelich to my other example, Francisco Lindor, how can you possibly disagree with the value that Yelich's extension presents for the Brewers? Lindor is currently getting booed on a nightly basis by Mets fans and they've got him through 2031 for 32 mil a year. It really sucks he's hurt obviously, but any team in MLB except for the Pirates makes that team-friendly deal with Yelich after his 2018/2019. Maybe his back ends up derailing his career completely, but maybe he just sits for a few more weeks (or months) and then he's fine. If you're getting '18/'19 Yelich it's obviously a fine bargain but I don't think you are likely to get that. While always a very good player, Yelich's career really took off his first two years in Milwaukee. He was a very good but not elite player in Miami and it's hard to say how his production will age especially if he ends up with chronic back issues. If he were to finish top 5 in MVP voting just two or more times in the remainder of his career I think that would be a really optimistic outcome.

I'm begging for roboumps. All the dumb crap Manfred has come up with as commissioner and he can't find a way to get rid of these guys?
