    Zero, absolutely zero chance to win this series if Giannis continues to be the invisible man.

    It really wasn't, that's why his progression has been so disappointing. Ray was a "safe" pick who was supposed to progress quickly through the system. No one would have described him as a risky low floor boom or bust type of pick when it was made. As far as his future is concerned the fact that he turns 26 in a few weeks and hasn't been able to even get a cup of coffee in the weirdest year ever is pretty telling.

    https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2020/09/01/benches-clear-after-aroldis-chapman-throws-101-mph-squarely-at-mike-brosseaus-head/ Honestly, Aroldis Chapman should be arrested and charged with attempted aggravated assault. He wouldn't likely get convicted, but that's not the point. Maybe something like that needs to happen at some point to drive home the point that this is not okay. Brosseau could literally have been killed.

    Epstien to me is the most overrated GM in baseball. He's had almost bottomless pockets to throw at every problem he's ever had. When you look at his biggest moves individually, it's amazing how many turned out to be utter dog crap.

    I do think when you look at the current state of the organization, it's fair to express some disappointment in the current direction. The farm system situation isn't good and the young talent on this team is extremely lacking for where it needs to be to put a perennial contender in Milwaukee. None of this is to say Stearns has been bad. He's made some good and bad moves, and overall I would still rate him as an above average GM. The "genius" label has definitely lost some of it's luster, though. Major points for the Yelich acquisition, but when you consider the supporting cast, this offense without Yelich is probably the worst in baseball. Also -- people like to often point out the playoff appearances of Stearns compared to his predecessors. While definitely worth some points to DS, it's just not an apples to apples comparison. Baseball used to have just 4 playoff teams, then it went to 8, and then to 10 in the Stearns era, and now even 16 this year. Sal Bando and Harry Dalton both also had 90+ win seasons for the Brewers in '87 and '92 with nothing to show for it. It's misleading to compare making the playoffs in that era with the current era.

    That's the Sogard we know.
  7. adambr2
    He actually did say he only wants 1 year deals for the rest of his career.

    You'd rather play to win right now with this team? I'd rather pile up bodies in the minors and hope to hit on one down the line. Plus, presumably if we picked up a 'bench bat' right now and he went 1/11 to start then we'd all deem the guy to suck and the trade horrible. You play to win the game. NEVER sacrifice the now for the uncertainty of the future. That will always get you no where. I dunno, worked pretty well when we acquired Lewis Brinson for Johnathan Lucroy and in turn used him to acquire Christian Yelich. Your last 2 sentences are really shortsighted. Sometimes no matter what you do, "the now" is not going to be a winner. You can't will yourself a more talented team. GMs understand this. That's why some teams are buyers and some teams are sellers each year.

    I know the Heat are a bad matchup, and coronavirus and all that, but there's absolutely no way to rationalize that being eliminated in the 2nd round this year wouldn't be a massive disappointment of a season.
  10. adambr2
    No nice way to say this -- Giannis blew it tonight. 4 for 11 from the line doesn't cut it. Even competent free throw shooting would have given us a chance. I know tonight wasn't a must win, but it feels like it may end up being must win.
  11. adambr2
    Exactly. Phelps has done a nice job here, but come on, this is not a guy who was ever going to bring back a top 100 type prospect. From the sounds of it we got more than I was counting on.
  12. adambr2
    So a proven set up man for three or four pitchers who will amount to nothing. I hate this quantity over quality crap. Stearns could've got a hundred low level pitchers in the trade, but 100 x 0 is still zero. Freddy Peralta was just a low level pitcher when we acquired him. Most of these guys never pan out, but if they do, the payoff can be solid. Phelps is a nice reliever. But he was never going to bring back anything special.
  13. adambr2
    Trading Burnes just doesn't make any sense to me unless you're getting an overpay. I would guess teams are making lowball offers based on his 2019. No thanks. Phelps and Anderson are worth next to nothing. You'll get something but you'll have to look up the name.
  14. adambr2
    Moose has been ok at best this year. Why would we go from not wanting to give Moose a big contract, to wanting to not only do so but to give up something for the privilege of paying him?
  15. adambr2
    Yeah, you're not getting Tatis for Hader. Torres was definitely a highly touted prospect when acquired, though. I think your starting point in a deal with the Padres needs to be Abrams and Campusano just as a base minimum plus at least a couple B prospects. They'll ask for Gore, but won't get him.
  16. adambr2
    Ughhh Gyorko...that was bases loaded, nobody out.
  17. adambr2
    Was that Ball 4 call to Frazier as bad as Gameday makes it look?
  18. adambr2
    Is this a typo? He “is traded” as in it’s complete? Or should it say “going to be”? I don't think that's a typo, I think the intent is to say "he is traded" as in will be traded at some point before the deadline. Maybe not the clearest choice of words but I'm sure that's what he's saying.
  19. adambr2
    I know this isn't serious but what Devin did tonight should not be overlooked. When he came in there was still just 1 out and the bases still loaded. He absolutely had to not just limit the damage, but prevent any more at all and he did just that, otherwise the bottom of the 9th doesn't matter. Well done, Devin.
  20. adambr2
    I didn't even realize til today that the #2 team in each division is automatically in. I jusf thought it was division winners and next best 5. Looks like a 3 horse race in the Central.
  21. adambr2
    Someone between us, the Cardinals and Reds will be in the playoffs. May as well be us.
  22. adambr2
    Your burning hatred for Villar is just kind of weird at this point. The man has been gone for 2 years.
  23. adambr2
    I might have been wrong To be fair, I don't think any of us called that one.
  24. adambr2
    Hahaha wow, just wow.
  25. adambr2
    Sogard should probably just do what he does best and stand up there and pray to walk.
