    No dice for Army. Too bad. In all reality this is probably the better outcome for UW. A win over Michigan doesn't look nearly as impressive on our resume when they have a home loss to Army on theirs.

    I'd be all about bringing Brown in if they thought they could reign him in. He hasn't done anything heinous or unforgivable, he's just a head case. Unfortunately I doubt they can. It's just too much to ask out of a rookie head coach that already has enough on his plate. Agreed he will probably end up in New England for cheap, catch 20 touchdowns and not make a peep.

    Dubon has started 7 games for SF so far. His first three he hit 200/200/400. His last four he hit 462/462/1077. Mauricio has been killing it for four whole games. He also has yet to walk in 25 MLB PAs. Dubon might never walk a lot. I don't really know. Or he might develop a better eye at the plate like he's developed more power this year. Keston Hiura hardly walked when he came up, too. It's obviously super early to see what Dubon will be, but I think it's a good sign for him that he isn't being overmatched by MLB pitching - heck, he went 3 for 4 with Clayton Kershaw on the mound last night. He also would have filled a need here both as a righty and SS. One thing I'd like to point out about Dubon and what he projects to be is that he has strongly exceeded projections at every single level since he was drafted. He was never even supposed to be here.

    Khris Davis and Scooter Gennett were certainly missed at one time. They obviously aren't anymore. I never said Stearns isn't fine. I like Stearns, a lot. Just because I didn't individuality like the Dubon deal doesn't mean I want Stearns gone.

    I think giving up their 3rd rated prospect who is a middle infielder, given that their existing shortstop isn't very good, they got a rental lefty with a 5.28 ERA this year and a 29 year old bullpen project who may not even make the team next year was pretty stupid. I was vocal about that at the time. I do realize that will come off as harsh and I'm probably in the minority on that stance now, however.

    Really? Killed it? I think his best moves were the ones he didn't make. Speaking of killing it, Dubon is killing it for the Giants. Homered twice already, off Kershaw last night. OPSing .960 and starting at both middle infield spots. With Hiura and Moose out right now and throwing out junk every night for middle infielders, it sure would be nice to have Dubon as an option right now, especially against LHP. Right now we are starting Corey Spangenberg, a career journeyman lefty with a .568 career OPS vs lefties, every day against LHP because our middle infield options are that bad. That's not a good position to be in. Before anyone gets too excited about renting Drew Pomeranz for a couple months, it should be considered that if Mauricio Dubon turns out to be even an average starting middle infielder at this level, giving up 6+ years of him for spare Giants bullpen parts will go down as a massive flop.

    With a lefty on the mound and Pina out, it was a perfect opportunity tonight to give Freitas 4 or 5 ABs tonight and stick with Grandal at 1st and see what happens. Instead, Counsell went with a bum like Tyler Austin.

    Winning the opener at Chicago is huge. Not only for taking the defending champs down a notch but already establishing a favorable tiebreaker position. Now you only have 2 more divisional road games the rest of the season. If you can split those two and take care of business at home you're likely in position to win any tie for the division. Hopefully they can keep it going next week.

    I stand by my comment of having 6-7 reliable arms out of the pen. We’ll just have to play the games. Well, they have played 139 out of 162 games, and the pen results in those 139 games would suggest you are wrong about that.
  10. adambr2
    Yeah, pretty much this. They need a healthy Knebel back next year and maybe even one strong FA option. I still think Edwin Diaz would be a good trade low option in the offseason. I just don't see a lot internally to suggest the pen doesn't need a big overhaul next year. Albers will be gone, and even Junior Guerra who had been fairly good I'd prefer to move on from. I'd keep Hader and Claudio and Knebel for next year and as far as I'm concerned everything else is TBD.

    We all know Jackson is a 2 pitch pitcher. Slider is his best pitch. He’s not really effective vs Lefties, but can dominate RH batters. So with this information in the brain, why pitch him vs a team in a tie game, with R L R L????????????? Why not pitch Black or Nelson or Peralta or Guerra. That’s 4 better options right there. Bring Jackson in later to face a tough RH batter only in a tight game. It's also entirely possible that Black and his 6.33 FIP or Peralta and his 4.72 FIP would have come in and done the same thing. Could it be possible that the pitching staff just isn't as good as you think it is?
  12. adambr2
    Well, that's enough for me. Have a good night boys.
  13. adambr2
    Contreras is just killing us.
  14. adambr2
    Damnit. If Yelich goes to 2nd it's a double play and the run doesn't score.
  15. adambr2
    Albers is not good lately. Would hate to fall behind again. As much baseball as Zobrist has missed this year you would never know it watching this game.
  16. adambr2
    Would have liked to see a little better throw from HP there. Tough play but he had more time than I think he thought he did.
  17. adambr2
    It's King David time. Already was used as a pinch hitter. He done. Yeah I meant the rest of the month lol.
  18. adambr2
    It's King David time.
  19. adambr2
    Yeah, I’ll take any ding dong being right if it means the Brewers win. It'll be a long offseason of "patting myself on the back" posts, but agreed entirely.
  20. adambr2
    Sorry ... I guess I was misinterpreting your posts then. My bad. I agree with what you say here completely. No it's not your bad. Sometimes I let my frustration seep through for an overly negative tone, I acknowledge this and I need to do better at that. At the end of the day I'm sure we'd all love a September like last year, sure would be nice to start this series with a come from behind win today.
  21. adambr2
    I guess I'm not sure what yours is, either. Just because I don't think they are going to make the playoffs doesn't mean I think it's impossible or that I am not still hoping for a great run. I hope we sweep the Cubs and BrewCrew92 is right about everything. I still want that to happen, regardless of what I anticipate.
  22. adambr2
    You've been saying they are done for more than two weeks. Can't really be a fence sitter anymore. What's your point? They're no closer than they were 2 weeks ago. I don't think they are going to make the playoffs, no. I think every simulator available would agree on that. But I was on record that winning 3 of 4 against the Cubs would at least give them a chance. So what was wrong with what I said? Can I not think they are going to make it while still rooting for it to happen and evaluating how they could change their outlook?
  23. adambr2
    Fat lady is getting close to warming up if we don't find a way to come back and win, boys. Already in a position where winning 3 of 4 is a must and starting it with a loss puts us at pretty long odds.
  24. adambr2
    It might be possible that a guy who cleared waivers like 2 months ago isn't really this great reliever that everyone suddenly thinks.
  25. adambr2
    Mike McCarthy is probably having a good chuckle watching this offense.
