  1. Adell is a great prospect, but his season is making Keston Hiura's look like a breakout season.
  2. Based on how this season has gone I expect 100% to be let down tomorrow. It's not that I don't think we can win but it feels like we have been given hope about 20 times this season only to have it taken away every time, so I am trying not to get my hopes up.
  3. The Cardinals did have to play 10 doubleheaders to make up those games, so it isn't like they've gotten off totally easy. The opponents have had to play those doubleheader too. I don't know what the Cardinals' record has been in their doubleheader games but I believe it's been overwhelmingly on the positive side for them.
  4. Also of note that the Cardinals still have something to play for tomorrow as they have NOT clinched. So while teams like the Giants are drawing opponents with nothing to play for, our opponent still does. They likely wouldn't if they had already had their series against Detroit. Just another subtle way in which the Cardinals COVID outbreak has actually affected US negatively rather than them. (Us losing a home game being another)
  5. Suter's OPS against jumps dramatically the second time hitters see him in a game, and even more dramatically the 3rd time around, so there is some merit to this. Suter is perfect in his current role eating up 2 to 3 big innings in a game.
  6. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/03/gm-trade-history-brewers-david-stearns.html Based on the above list here is how I would grade Stearns trades so far... 2015-16: 5-1 (W: Chase/Isan, Keon, Freddy, Villar, Manny. L: Khris) 2016: 1-1 (W: Brinson. L: Fresh Prince) 2016-17: 1-1 (W: Shaw. L: Maldonado) 2017: 3-0 (W: Walker, Jeffress, Swarzak) 2017-18: 1-0 (W: Yelich) 2018: 5-2 (W: Gio, Grandy, Cedeno, Moose, Soria. L: Schoop, Ji-Man) 2018-19: 2-0-1 (W: Gamel, Claudio. T: Broxton/Wahl [zero in zero out]) 2019: 2-1 (W: Pomeranz, Lyles. L: Aguilar) 2019-20: 1-1-1 (W: Narvaez. L: Grisham/Davies T: Anderson/Spanberger [zero in zero out]) 2020: 1-0 (W: Phelps) Add it all up & I'd say his record on trades is 21-7-2, with the only trade that has potentially detrimental long term effects still pending being Grisham/Davies. Some of these seem like fair evaluations, while some seem really subjective. What makes Alex Claudio a win, for example? I think if we looked at that trade in reverse we'd be happy to get a prospect the caliber of Davis Wendzel for a soft tossing lefty reliever with middling results.
  7. Yeah that's just a flat out really bad luck. In a spring training game, fine, interview a guy in the outfield. In a must win game in late September? Come on.
  8. Seriously didn't even think the game had started yet and we had already gone 3 up 3 down in the 1st.
  9. Brewers hopes, nearly on life support, get new life when Padres walk it off against the Giants on a 3 run HR by....Trent Grisham.
  10. Cincinnati has punched their ticket with a convincing 7-2 win over Minnesota.
  11. I am not saying that Haines is to blame for Hiura's poor hitting, but it bothers me a lot that he cannot find any adjustment that an obviously uber-talented hitter in Hiura needs to make to get it going again.
  12. He is 4 for his last 9. They are all terrible this year. Other than expectations, I don't know why Hiura gets singled out. It's optics. It's seems like every time I see an at-bat from him, he is K'ing on a high fastball. No doubt he's been disappointing. We definitely need a big return to last year's form in 2021 for him next year because we are absolutely counting on him and Yelich to be the heart of our offense for the next 5 years.
  13. I swear every week I see a Brewer game on the MLB.com scoreboard with the little red "No Hitter" alert on it.
  14. He is 4 for his last 9. They are all terrible this year. Other than expectations, I don't know why Hiura gets singled out.
  15. He's not this bad, but I don't really see the upside that others see, either. This isn't Josh Hader stuff. I’m not saying he’s Josh Hader (or ever will be) by any stretch, but I think he can been an okay backend starter or middle reliever. That isn’t exciting, but it also doesn’t deserve being called “garbage”. Well....what he's showing tonight and has shown this year is the definition of garbage. I hope he can get to the point where he's an okay backend starter or middle reliever, but at this point he doesn't even belong on an MLB roster much less fit either of those definitions.
  16. He's not this bad, but I don't really see the upside that others see, either. This isn't Josh Hader stuff.
  17. Rock explaining that an option means you can send him up and down as many times as you want in a season and it's only one option, which every living person has been aware of for some time.
