Vogelbach has been terrible. I get why Keston was optioned, but not really sure why Vogelbach has been getting a pass. His bat is the only reason he has a roster spot.
-
He's had a true WR1 pretty much his entire career, he has a really good TE, they just paid up to keep one of the best RBs in football even though they took another RB in the 2nd round last year, and they've constantly prioritized building a strong offensive line around him. I've advocated for pushing the envelope a little more but if he actually thinks they haven't done enough to put talent around him he really needs to get over himself.
-
You need a capable GM too. Given how much luck is involved in the draft it helps to have more bites at the apple which is why I don't think the Bears under Pace will ever be title worthy. They'll constantly have to fill holes because they won't have the draft capital to fill them. It's about asset management as much as having single pick in the top 10 every year. Miami has had 9 picks in rounds 1 and 2 combined the last two drafts. Of course a few of those guys are gonna bust (e.g. Rosen) but odds are most of them won't and Miami should be pretty good in a hurry. Yep. Having high picks, in a vacuum, is of course a good thing. But by their very nature, teams picking at the top are often (though not always) incompetently run organizations.

Here's hoping it is Yelich and Cain return day.
-
That is good. I'm patiently waiting for the Cardinals to cool down. That would make me happy. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen. The Cardinals are good. I expected them to be good. Not that we're going away either. I think these will be the two teams at the top of the Central at the end. The Cubs however I could see as sellers.
-
Nice win. Brooklyn not totally out of reach.
-
What a night for Giannis.
-
Tucker really has no business taking up significant minutes on this team. I thought going to a winner might be a good thing for him and maybe his contributions would be more apparent but he is cooked.
-
It is odd that Nottingham is considered DFA fodder. He has a nice bat for his position and is not a terrible defensive catcher and has some good pop. He's still really young and was near the upper echelon of catching prospects at one time. There are certainly worse baseball players that had long careers.
-
Please make Hiura stop.
-
Just need 7 more of those 2 run HRs and we got this.
-
Do we lead the league in most HBP issued?
-
It's obnoxious in a 16-1 game but I get it. If I were a young player like Lux I'd want the hit too.
-
Don't really know why you take Jordan out here. He's at 56 pitches, not 86. I'm sure he'd like to finish, and it's not like you're saving him for anything. Unless they just want to get a look at Weigel.
-
Vogelbach is extremely slow. Lux is safe.
-
I'm happy for him that he got to pitch for the Brewers. I don't blame him at all for not wanting to go to Nashville. He's made enough money in his life to be more than comfortable. I'm sure he'll be DFAed soon and he'll understand and go back to fishing and that's fine all around. I'm sure he would have liked a little better of an outcome for his Brewer career but he also helped eat up innings and save our bullpen in the middle of a brutal stretch. That's certainly not nothing.
-
So am I mistaken, or did File just go from a minor league salary to a major league one and start accumulating MLB service time from a procedural move?
-
Hopefully Zimmerman can just eat the rest of this one. Cain and Yelich probably up tomorrow, Bettinger optioned and Zimmerman DFAed. They served their purpose, anyway.
-
Can some baseball historian confirm or deny that Alec Bettinger is the first MLB player to give up grand slams in each of his first two innings?
-
They all count the same, just gotta take our lumps today and use it to our advantage to give rest to anyone who needs it. I'll take 3 close wins followed by a blowout loss all season.
-
Well, it was fun, Alec.
-
Why does something need to be done with Gutekunst? He's a good GM. It's not like he's done a terrible job. I guess he could have communicated the Love thing better to Rodgers last year but that's certainly not a fireable offense. You certainly can't let a player, even a star player, strong-arm you into firing front office guys. That's a terrible precedent to set. Who would want to be the GM of this team if a player can fire you?
-
Meh, I don't think him hitting cleanup has any bearing on when/if he gets optioned. These are not regular lineups, we're walking wounded and just trying to piece it together every day. If we had a healthy roster he wouldn't be hitting there right now.
-
I think they are desperately trying to get him going before they have no choice but to option him. He seems hopelessly lost, but I guess against a lefty is as good as any time. I also struggle to see who below Hiura would be a better cleanup option today. Maybe Nottingham, as crazy as that seems. Urias is definitely hitting better but doesn't profile much as a cleanup hitter.

This is only true if you actually believe that Rodgers isn’t hyper competitive and doesn’t want to win a second championship, which simply isn’t true. Add in the fact that he won’t swallow his pride enough to write the Packers a $30 million check, which he absolutely will not do. It also requires you to believe that the Packers wouldn’t be willing to ride it out with Love, much like they were with Rodgers back in 2008. I guess we won’t know for sure unless they actually do, but my gut is that they don’t blink like other organizations do in situations like with the Raiders and Mack. But they did trade Favre. They rode it out with Rodgers in 2008, but they got what they could for Favre and didn't just lose him for nothing.
