The Brewers should be able to outright Lindblom to Nashville when their season starts, right? I know he's out of options, but he's not going to be claimed on waivers (and if someone does, Godspeed). So they should be able to get him off the 40 and get him down to Nashville and at least keep him in the organization to see if he can figure it out there, right?
-
I still think it was a good low risk signing. The upside was clear. The downside has basically been realized, and it doesn’t really hurt that bad. I'm still not sure why if they didn't want 3 years of control they couldn't have structured it in a way like Jeffress got in his last deal with us where we did 1 year followed by two team options, even if the first year and total potential was a little more than the actual deal. It's not so much that the money is the end of the world but I think in a lot of cases the dead money causes teams to carry players longer than they normally would or should.

Speaking of bullpen help, (timing is probably coincidental but hey, maybe not), Jeremy Jeffress expressed frustration and confusion tonight at the total lack of interest from any MLB team in him. I'm with Jeremy. He pitched well for the Cubs last year, he's generally always pitched well for us, and I've never gotten any indication that he isn't a good teammate. Are you telling me this guy couldn't come in right now and be better than some of our existing options?
-
That's literally ERA. You can't discount ERA when it's bad only to cite it when it's good. By the same token that we shouldn't judge Devin based on his numbers so far this year (which I agree with), are you really that confident in someone like Brad Boxberger over the course of a full season?
-
Absolutely. I don't look at Devin nearly the way I look at the bottom of the pen. I think Devin is still going to be a fantastic late inning option. I'm less high on a guy like Yardley.
-
every team needs a mop-up guy that can eat innings. I'd hope he doesnt pitch any high leverage innings, but he's fine for the role he is in for the money he makes. It took him 80 pitches just to through 3 and 2/3rds and this is not unusual for him. To eat up innings you need to be able to get outs. Lindblom isn't just bad, he's inefficient.
-
I think they'll have at least one guy up tomorrow who maybe wasn't here today. Perdomo may be optioned just out of necessity after 35 pitches. It's hard to fathom a guy with almost 2 years left on his contract getting DFAed with one game being the last straw, but I don't think it's impossible they dump Lindblom tomorrow.
-
I mean they have 5 guys in the pen with an ERA over 6. It hasn't just been Lindblom. They also have a 9 man pen right now and bringing up ERA when you have guys who haven't even pitched 9 innings yet is a joke Cool, they haven't been good is my point, and other guys besides Lindblom is my point which was my response to you. You said it's just a statistically bad pen because guys like Lindblom are getting shelled in blowouts and when I pointed out that that isn't necessarily true, all you could do was just kind of rudely insult me by telling me it was a joke to even mention ERA. Nice.

-
Well Perdomo's ERA sure escalated quickly. Welcome to the club.
-
If you feel like drilling Contreras in the ribs just to make things spicy this would be the game to do it.
-
Darn. I was hoping to see JBJ knock one out and maybe at least make them use a good reliever or two today.
-
Dang, should have left Lindblom in to get him a win today, could have gone out on top.
-
Wong hasn't had much trouble figuring out Hendricks.
-
I will be much more concerned if that's the case at the end of August. It's still a little concerning now. They have numerous guys that pretty clearly aren't better options than your last guy in the pen. If Devin gets legitimately back that will help a great deal. I haven't really seen Perdomo pitch and I am eternally skeptical of guys with zero MLB track record but it's been so far so good for him. I hope he can be a legitimate option.
-
I think at some point on days like today, the thought process shifts from "we may as well get everything we can out of this guy" to "alright, he's still a human being."
-
I know days like this make stats a little deceiving, but there's no chance we aren't going to have one of the worst statistical pens in baseball after today.
-
Right. If Lindblom came into the rotation and pitched like Corbin Burnes, that would be it not aging well.
-
He's going to get the next 2 years off to spend with him family and still get paid for it. I only wish I could be so lucky.
-
Rick Porcello Should Have A Job By Now I'm sold.
-
I thought this was a great deal when we signed it. I was dead wrong. I only looked at the upside and didn't ask myself why the KBO Cy Young was available for just over 3 million a year on a multi year deal. I guess there was a reason.
-
If he's on the roster, this is a game you have to use him for. Your starter only gets 1 out and leaves, you're going to need extended innings from somebody, you can't just burn out your whole bullpen on the first game of the series. He's just not an MLB quality pitcher and should be replaced on the roster, that's the heart of the problem.
-
Alright, I'm on board with DFAing Lindblom. He is absolutely useless. There has to be someone out there who can be acquired for next to nothing and actually get outs better than this guy.
-
Get ready to be reacquainted with Eric Lauer.
-
Well, I hope you like Josh Lindblom because you're going to see a lot of him today.
