A 30 man roster and we have no lefty left to use against their righty closer to sub out Ryon Healy. Hilarious.
-
I miss Thames. At least he could run into one every so often. Smoak just flat out sucks.
-
Normally we could chalk this up to an anomaly and figure Yelich will come around. However this is the Milwaukee Brewers and we just gave Yelich gobs of money for the next 10 years so I fully expect Yelich's career to suddenly and inexplicably enter a nosedive and for him to end up making the Braun contract look like an absolute steal.
-
Bill, shut up about how much respect Counsell has for Grandal. We get it already.
-
Suter's Harvard education didn't quite get applied there.
-
I have never seen Yelich look this bad in his entire career. He is so brutal right now.
-
Yeah, I brought this up last night. Arcia will have a nice showing in a marquee game and raise some eyebrows and inevitably go back to how he always is.
-
Who should play SS, Arica or Sogard? (Shrug) I don't really care between those two, honestly. Arcia for late inning situations I guess. Ofher than that, whatever. Urias when he's healthy.
-
I don't think he's arguing just to argue. Arcia isn't a good player. He's had several years of mediocre results. We're over 1500 ABs into his career now. I wish it had worked out differently but it just did not. He's a mediocre player. Going 3 for 3 on opening day did not change that. Sogard isn't worth anything either, no argument there. They have some real talent issues at several positions.
-
Neither Arcia nor Sogard are very good or any kind of long-term solution at SS. Hopefully Urias pans out there.
-
You really have to squint hard at this roster to believe that this is a good team. It feels kind of like looking at your gas gauge from a different angle to convince yourself that you're not really on empty yet.
-
Hiura and Yelich are just killing us. And we don't have much else.
-
When fans return to Miller Park, the ones on the 1st base side may want to switch from face masks to hockey masks for any Hiura start.

Is it time to restructure the scouting department
adambr2 replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Grisham is missed badly right now. Hopefully Urias fulfills his potential because if Grisham develops into an All-Star caliber outfielder that one is going to sting. -
I'm not all that worried yet. Things are still weird right now. These are almost pre-season tuneups to some point where they are still figuring things out again. With that said I don't have the confidence that we roll out of the East anymore that I did pre-COVID. Probably anybody's best guess between us, Toronto and Philly. Losing homecourt sucks.
-
Bucks have now lost 6 of their last 8 games. Prior to that you would have had to go back 52 games to find 6 losses.
-
While I agree with the above two posters, I actually differ in the many now that think the shutdown of the season is inevitable. I think they are pretty bound and determined to get through this and not deal with the many headaches that would also come about of figuring out the logistics of canceling the season now. Obviously things could get much worse and that could change...but I think that's where they're at right now. Hard to believe if they weren't going to just call this whole thing off they wouldn't have just done it already.

keon broxton minor league deal; postseason eligible
adambr2 replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
So now we have Healy, Smoak, Gyorko, Morrison, Holt, and Sogard on the active roster. We definitely have the market cornered on mediocre veteran journeymen. -
Craig's been marvelous pulling the bullpen strings in the past. Not so much through the first 7 games this year.
-
He does have a hit and a run scored tonight. I mean he might turn into a pumpkin but a weird post tonight. He's also basically responsible for the only two White Sox runs tonight and killed a possible big inning there. I think he's been a pumpkin for awhile, unfortunately. EDIT: Well, half the runs.
-
Great work Gamel. Arcia really has a knack for having a big game in a headliner type game (opening day, playoff game, etc), get people thinking maybe he's finally going to break out, and then go back to being Orlando Arcia.
-
That, and some of them were hanging out at the casino.
-
Huh? There's absolutely evidence that Marlins players violated protocols. The league certainly should shoulder a lot of blame too, but let's put some accountability also where it belongs on individuals making bad choices. https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/miami-marlins-players-ignored-protocols-punished-01eekke2hp5q

Lorenzo Cain opts out for remainder of 2020 season
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is such an interesting take and it comes across as a little callous to me. My initial thought when I heard the news was that Cain obviously had doubts going into all of this but I assume (based off of no info) that he wanted to give it a go for MKE and his teammates to see if the situation was going to be safe. He got a feel for the situation and decided against. While I stand behind the opinion that opt out/opt in decisions should have been made before the season in the absence of something major changing with the virus (it hasn't), I could rephrase by simply saying that if the above comes off as callous. I can understand the mindset that some players such as Cain initially had faith in their fellow players to follow safety protocols, faith which has now evaporated. I think it was wishful thinking at best, though, to think that a league full of young men were ever going to spend this entire season following social distancing and safety guidelines. -
Braun to 10-day IL with an infected finger
adambr2 replied to hawing's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I mean, we'll never know, but that is one major cause of finger infections.
