Dodgers (Sasaki) vs Brewers (Gasser): 5/23/26, 6:15pm
adambr2 replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Archived Game Threads
We call that, “no harm, no foul.” -
To go along with the theme of the thread though, if I’m making an all in trade, I’m not looking at Abrams. I’m going after Bobby Witt Jr. If I’m making a move like that I’m going after a guy who can be a franchise cornerstone for a long time, That's only assuming that the rumors are actually true that they are taking calls on him, which I tend to doubt that they actually are.
-
Plus I wouldn’t even say those were really “all-in” moves. They were adding what they felt were foundational pieces and turned out to be right.
-
I think people dramatically overestimate how much even an “all-in” move actually moves the needle. If I wanted to be very generous, I would guess that as of today, our odds of going to the World Series this year are probably around 15%. If I’m being generous. If you ask Vegas, it’s lower than that. That isn’t being negative, that isn’t a lack of faith in the team. That’s just the reality of going up against the field of other NL teams trying to all accomplish the same goal. Being good isn’t enough. You always have to be lucky. The foundation of what we already have is the basis for our chances. Anything we add, is just incremental. How much is it worth giving up to increase our World Series chances from 15% to 18%, hypothetically speaking?

The 1999-2006 A’s is a pretty comparable era. 2008 to present Rays have been a pretty sustained track record of small market success with a few lean years mixed in there.

My belief is that the Brewers don’t look at contending windows. I believe they believe they have a shot to win this year, to win in 2029, and by 2035 I think they plan to have just as good of a shot as they did in 2026 and 2029. The model here is sustainability, which is why we can’t get too attached to names here because we’ll have our new Brice Turangs and William Contreras by then, and new prospects that are teenagers right now and unknown to us but probably on the radar of our scouting department will backfill when guys like Made and Pena make it up here and replace the future Yankees and Dodgers on our current MLB roster. Very long-winded way of me saying, I think an all-in type move like we saw with Sabathia and Greinke probably died out in the Doug Melvin era and isn’t something we are likely to see under the current FO.

When does Rengifo get DFA'd?
adambr2 replied to AdvantageSchneider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Leonard is interesting to me as a guy who might actually be the best “fit” to get a shot right now. He’s a journeyman minor leaguer, not really a prospect but he’s also only still 25 and raking. He’s never had a shot at the bigs, so he’s still an unknown. I guess my thought process on Leonard is, out of him, Pratt and Jett, Leonard is the one you could bring up for Rengifo and not really worry too much about him not playing every day and not really feel like anything is lost if you have to cut bait, and just might get a Casey McGehee type surprise out of him. I don't really know much about his glove which is obviously pretty important to him getting a shot with this organization. -
We could have added Aaron Judge at the trade deadline and the NLCS would have been no different. Maybe we would have lost in 5 instead of 4.
-
Serious question because I don’t know the answer — why is it necessary for a player in High A Ball to have a “rehab” assignment at a lower level?
-
Crazy as it sounds because you would not know it by the box score but this was far from our best pitching performance. Got away with a ton of mistake pitches tonight. That's baseball, we might make very few mistakes tomorrow and the Dodgers might punish them anyway. I’ll take it!
-
The biggest thing working against him on being a starter is how good he is out of the pen. The pen is so much better with Patrick available out of it.
-
Nice work Patrick!
-
Stop putting guys on for free. Stop.
-
Why even bother entertaining that guy? We all know he can’t be taken seriously and does nothing but poke his head in for a tired jab from time to time.
-
He had 3 years in Anaheim where he was serviceable so I get what they were thinking. But he was not good last year and has been even worse this year so yeah he’s probably cooked.
-
Great play by Vaughn. But my god is Rengifo a liability on this team in every way.
-
Look, you get what you get with Bauers in LF. He’s not good. Worth it to get both him and Vaughn in the lineup right now? Probably. Sucks that Yelich is pretty much DH only at this point.
-
Hamilton can at least be optioned. But Rengifo has a -0.5 WAR entering tonight. It’s getting tough to keep putting him out there.
-
We have internal options that are better than Rengifo that we for some reason refuse to go to.
-
Can we please just end the Rengifo experience?
-
So was that confirmed heat stroke ? They’ve been ultra conservative with him for the last month bringing him back.
-
Gervase looks like he’s tweaking out between every pitch.
-
Man this homeplate umpire sucks. With all the bad calls to choose from I don’t know how we blew our challenges on two pitches he actually got right.
-
Man I thought that was gone off the bat.
-
Also, probably only gonna give you 5 innings, but they’ll usually be good ones,😅
