  1. Yeah, they were all pretty much a wash. I didn't lose anything having Green on the bench, though. I might fire him up Thursday night against the Browns.
  2. Also his contract isn't "bad." He was called a sucker for signing it. That's because a lot of people don't seem to understand that the farther away a player is from free agency when they sign an extension, the less leverage they have. Yelich was 3 years away from free agency when he signed, and a lot can happen in 3 years, as we are learning. If he had been going into free agency this year his market would probably have been 10/$350M, but he's not going to get that 3 years out. I don't think he was a sucker, nor do I think his contract is bad (not yet, anyway). Simple exchange of potential future earnings for current security.

  5. For all the talk of his breakout he's sporting a negative WAR and the same .670 ish OPS that he's always carried. He still contributes very little, just in different ways

  8. That's not a strike, but Sogard is an absoute bum. Every time this team gets a chance to make a run this season they screw it up.

  11. Winning run at 2nd with nobody out and the biggest thing is to at least just get him over and Arcia swings out of his heels twice.
  12. I'm quite confident we'll be the first team in MLB history to win two 8 inning games in one day if we can walk it off here.
  13. Hard to believe that Jace Peterson is one of our 28th best options.
  14. Right!?! It is ludicrous to try to "grade" that trade right now. My words on it were literally that I wasn't saying we lost the trade and we need to wait and see on Urias but that the 2020 Brewers are probably a playoff lock with Davies and Grisham. Which is probably true.
  15. Who was that guy here last year who was just obsessed with Drew Rasmussen? All our prospects really, but especially Rasmussen . Wherever he is, there are some tears of joy right now.
  16. Not what we really want to hear when this team struggles so much to score but good for him Probably not excited to find out he's riding a 10 game hitting streak either then. Sometimes we get the misconception that Stearns is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers and it's good to be reminded sometimes both as an organization and as fans that other GMs know what they're doing too.
  17. Counsell has done a piss poor job managing games this year. That's hardly even debatable. It doesn't mean he's a bad manager, but he's done a really poor job in 2020 in regard to in-game decisions.
  18. Counsell is aware that this is the team we are directly competing with for a playoff spot, right? Somebody might want to clue him in.
  19. God you are just terrible Yelich. It isn't enough that you can't hit this year?
  20. I'm not saying the trade was lost and we'll have to wait and see on Urias but the 2020 Brewers + Davies and Grisham would be a playoff lock rather than an outside bubble team.
  21. Rock was certain that both Hader and Williams were available for this because "they only pitched 1 inning in Game 1."
  22. He put himself in that position. 100 pitches in less than 5 innings and you’re not going to get the best out of the bullpen to clean up for you. He didn't need them to clean it up. He was one out away from cleaning it up himself as he did in previous innings. 10 Ks and to that point had been scoreless yet again. You're not going to be super efficient every outing but he was still fantastic and I'll take Burnes every time to get that final out over Alex freaking Claudio.
