I guess they already had their minds made up about the option next year and so just decided to open up the 40 spot now for the upcoming September promotions. Either way, man. Such an easy guy to root for and I hope his personal/career path continues in a positive direction. I hope both sides leave the door open for a possible return next year as I think he's due for some positive regression in 2020.

They need to take one more tomorrow and get it to 3 GB. If they play well enough to make up 3 games on the Cubs after September 1st, that should be well enough to pass anyone else needed for WC2.

Well thought-out alternative ideas are very much accepted with open arms around here. Yep. As much as I usually disagree with him, no one thinks Clancy should be banned.

You sound like a mafia hit man. He doesn't want you dead. Just banished from Brewerfan boards and left to talk Brewer baseball on Facebook comment threads.

But you talk out of both sides of your mouth. You can't talk up how generational talents like Yelich and Hiura and Grisham are and then say the offense sucks. Yes I can. There not mutually exclusive. 3 good hitters doesn’t make an offense good, obviously, since it’s not good with all 3 in it. Braun is also pretty good, and Moose and Grandal are All-Star level hitters, and even Thames has a strong .860 OPS. The only two weak offensive spots that are below average are SS and CF. What the heck are you talking about? You always throw 100 different predictions at the wall and then beat your chest when one of them ends up being right.
-
That strike to Grandal made the one to Schwarber look right down the middle. Horrible.
-
This is not why you are mocked around here and you know it. Actually, I don’t mind, most of the snide comments and such are done out of ignorance, and will continue by those that do not know. This comes off as super arrogant and condescending especially given the enormous multitude of things you've been wrong about.

We have MVP Christian Yelich, up until yesterday we had future Christian Yelich in Keston Hiura, and figure MVP Trent Grisham. How is that not stacked?
-
Been a couple weeks without a Yelich HR. 50 looking more on the side of unlikely now unless he goes on a tear.

Like who? When I look at the Cubs' lineup it seems like almost every player is exactly statistically where one would expect them to be. Bryant and Rizzo are right around their expected .900+ OPS. Baez played a little over his head last year but around .850 right where you'd expect. Schwarber is exactly the low average, high power guy he's always been. Maybe expecting them to be a little over 664 runs for the season is reasonable, but I'd expect us to be over 632. No surprise that both teams are well below average hitting with RISP relative to their overall offensive rating.
-
Yeah I tend to agree. He's excellent in his role but needs regular rest over 162 games to maintain that.
-
Atta boy Pineapple.

You're missing the corner, Hamels. It's not the umpire's fault that you're missing it and he's calling it correctly.

Post DFA Hernan Perez is just as bad as pre-DFA Perez.

This season has been an absolute nightmare for Burnes. To go from pitching important innings in the NLCS as a rookie, to being in the opening day rotation the following year, to losing a rotation spot, to losing a roster spot, to getting shelled back on the farm. In spite of this, given where the Brewers are at right now, I'd call him up, put him back in the rotation, and tell him he's our guy and that this is his spot the rest of the year regardless of results. If there's any hope for him going forward, you have to try to give him something positive to build off of. Not only that but you have to figure out if he's even a viable option moving forward. This season is cooked for the Brewers, but it's not too late to find something with Burnes. Maybe. There's a non-zero chance that he never comes back from this.
-
Craig Counsell has no control over the healing pace of Brandon Woodruff. I watched this interview, I have no idea why you're so upset about what he said. He didn't say anything condescendingly whatsoever. Did you watch it or just read a quote? As you recently said, it's all about context.
-
If there was still an August trade deadline, every expiring contract we had would be going on waivers.
-
Between Miley, Villar, Schoop, some questionable roster decisions with Hiura, Shaw, and Nelson and a really head-scratcher of a trade deadline, Stearns has had a really rough last year. I still think he's a good GM, but the genius label has definitely lost quite a bit of luster.
-
Explain to me how Aguilar has anything to do with your 90%+ chance of a loss today... If he wouldn’t have absolutely sucked this year, brewers wouldn’t have traded him away, and he’d be in this lineup today, helping this team not suck so bad vs LHP. So he sucked, but he wouldn't be sucking today.

Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs passes away
adambr2 replied to Jopal78's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Really? I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. There would also be consequences for illegally supplying drugs, so if this person did that, they should also face them. His family just lost their kid. He's dead, he's not coming back. I find their reaction pretty normal, and what would you have them do? "Well, Tyler made his choice. I hope the drug dealer moves on from this and becomes a stronger person." That drunk driving analogy is pretty terrible. I can go to Pick n Save and buy a handle of Vodka, chug it in the parking lot and go home. There's no crime there other than the one I committed. But if you struck and killed a pedestrian on your way home you'd probably be serving 10-15 years, just like that. There's certainly some blame to go around, but Skaggs did pay for poor choices. Obviously, I feel awful for his family regardless, and I'm sure this doesn't make it easier. I don't see that them saying it was out of character is blaming someone else for it. I'm sure it's devastating news for them. -
Just stop. No I won’t stop, because, imo, it can. It's too late. They'd have to finish like 22-6 unless they just get a lot of lucky help, and now they may be without Hiura. It's just not going to happen this year.
-
Maybe Stearns can go out and find a couple lefty hitters in the offseason.
-
I literally cannot think of one single instance in Counsell's managerial tenure when he ordered retaliation for a dirty act. Not one.

That Perez/Spangenberg middle infield of September is sure to strike fear in the hearts of the Cubs and Cardinals.
