    Unless someone can steal home, the runs scored will remain the same regardless. Same old, tiresome story.

    I don't think there are. There are people, like me, who want it to happen. But we all know it isn't. There’s one right here. We all figured, or at least I did, probable losses vs Cubbies LHP, then with the wind blowing in > very very high probability of losses first 2 games. Sunday’s game I’m hoping they can win, it’s probably a toss-up. It’s not a light switch, it’s massive pitching added to make a dominant bullpen. A couple of position player additions to help too. This team can get hot in a hurry. BC92, no. There's no massive help coming. If they had this huge cache of pitching weapons in reserve, do you really think they'd still be holding them back, with all the holes in this pitching staff? They're done. Plain and simple. Also, if you are already counting on "probable losses" to teams that you're chasing and already falling far behind, that's probably not a great sign that you're going to turn it around.

    This team is an embarrassment. If there's something that can be screwed up, they find a way to do it.

    I don't know what Counsell's axe to grind with Villar was, but whatever it was, I hope this has taught him to get over himself. Villar was always on his way out last year, if it wasn't for Schoop it would have been for someone else. Now he's a controllable player with a 3.4 WAR this year who can seamlessly fill in anywhere in the middle infield. This offense would have him penciled in at #8 at SS in Arcia's spot this year, and I can't imagine how much better the offense would be for it. Making a bad move is one thing, everyone has done it. Making a bad move because you let your personal feelings about a player interfere with your professional decisions is another thing entirely.

    I'm cool with it. Big series and they come out mashing. More power to them Me too. No problem with it. You put out the garbage type performances we've had lately you deserve to be shown up. Do better if you don't like it.

    I'm taking my 3 year old son to his first ever game on Monday. So I find myself getting quite angry with the team for how poorly they've played and mad at myself for even spending the money on it. I have to remind myself frequently that it's just a game, my 3 year old couldn't care less if they win or lose, and just try to make it a great experience for him.

    The Brewers will not be participating in the 2019 MLB playoffs. That should be plenty obvious by now.
  8. adambr2
    Castellanos is head and shoulders more valuable than all the hot garbage we acquired at the deadline. With the exception of Lyles lately.
  9. adambr2
    I can't believe there are still people who think this team is going to just flip a switch and be good in September. Quintana's first career extra base hit. Good stuff.
  10. adambr2
    The problem becomes when your solid, dependable, mid to back rotation starters are your best starters.
  11. adambr2
    This pitching staff has mastered the bad 0-2 pitch.
  12. adambr2
    Just call it a season.
  13. adambr2
    Let's just say it is not going well.
  14. adambr2
    I know it seems like a crazy jump, but if the stuff plays you might as well just add him to the 40 and let him pitch a few innings in September and see what he's got. He's 24, not 19 and you need help in the pen. Anyone who isn't really needed in September and isn't a part of the future (Wilkerson, Stokes, Saladino) can probably be DFAed by this point. If it doesn't work out you can just DFA him after the season. You have to make a decision on him anyway so it may help to take a look.
  15. adambr2
    I mentioned in the IGT but the only type of 3 year deal I'd be willing to do with Lyles would be of the Jeremy Jeffress type. Something like 1 year/3.5M, for 2020, then 2021:5 million team option, $500K buyout 2022: 7 million team option, $500K buyout That would secure us if he ends up being the real deal and guarantees 4M to Lyles. Seems more than fair given the career credentials that others have pointed out. Anything else to me is overboard. We are still talking about a 4.55 ERA and 4.72 FIP this year, and his recent success could come back down to earth just like it did in Pittsburgh.
  16. adambr2
    I tend to agree here. If you said 20, I'd buy that. Maybe 1-2 starts and a PH appearance in half the games. With 50, you're looking at giving him 8-9 starts minimum out of 28 games in September...with some PH added in. The only way he gets to 50 is if...i dunno maybe he goes 3 for 3 in his first 3 PH opportunities with 2 homers, then gets a start and goes 3 for 4 with a homer. All foolish and unlikely stuff, I'd plan on him getting 15-20 PA max barring injury or a plummet in the standings. I was thinking he may gets some starts against LHP. I could be wrong, though. But yeah 50 does sound like a bit much when you break it down like that. Maybe 30 if things go well.
  17. adambr2
    No, it doesn't. They have an $18M all-star catcher that is still doing his job well and a back up in Pina that has been mashing for a month or so, including against LHP. So? The struggles against LHP have been definitely well established, and carrying a 3rd catcher isn't unprecedented. We carried Aguilar throughout much of this year as a backup 1B only guy. Freitas can play 1B, so it's not like it's impossible to have made room for him. If Freitas comes up and mashes LH pitching in September, (again huge if, this is hypothetical), I think questions regarding him would certainly be valid.
  18. adambr2
    I think Freitas will be up in September for sure. I think he'll get 50 or so PAs, and I think his production will probably be closer to Saladino than Hiura. That being said, to be fair to BC92, if he gets 15 hits in those 50 PAs and beats up left handed pitching, there's definite grounds there for second guessing Stearns on what took him so long to bring him up.
  19. adambr2
    No, he’s already 30 years old, so that would be foolish. The beauty of the Freitas is the control and min. Salary. I think your being ridiculous with the 35 hr in September prediction, he’s not a hr hitter, so that would be virtually impossible to do. My detector might be off, but I think he was just having some fun with the people that are obsessed with Freitas. He is that people.
  20. adambr2
    Yes, because you've randomly tossed out extra years and money to just about anything with an arm or a "good eye" at the plate. All of that adds up at the end of the day. I implore you to look back through all of your posts and see how many ideas you have just flung out there to build a team and see if you can actually make sense of it. I would bet that if you did, and realized all of the things you have posted, you may understand why people question you so frequently around here. I’ll admit a few bad takes and predictions, beyond the 3-4 TOR prediction. But I’ve been dead on numerous takes too. But getting back to this Lyles take, Lyles at 18 for 3 is a less risky deal than Chacin for 2 at 16. Lyles is younger and has way better stuff. Which numerous takes have you been dead on? You know what kind of 3 year deal makes perfect sense for Lyles? Something like what we gave to Jeffress, perhaps with a little more money. Something like 1 year/3M, with a 2nd team option year for 5M, with a 3rd year team option year for 7M. That kind of deal I could see Lyles getting. 3/18, no chance.
  21. adambr2
    Glad we got one.
  22. adambr2
    3/18 for Lyles is nuts, so no thanks on that. I'm glad he's having success for us, though.
  23. adambr2
    Immaculate inning for Junior?
  24. adambr2
    I don't know. Clearly could have gotten something good for Chacin or Albers.
  25. adambr2
    Man talk about spin. I guess by that logic, every 5+ ERA pitcher has trade value. I literally said in that thread that Chacin could probably end up being unclaimed if waived, that thing literally ended up happening, and you still sit here completely unwilling to admit you're wrong, all the while the other guy you said had value is getting shelled. While the Brewers giving up little for a couple garbage pitchers that have absolutely nothing to do with Chacin or Albers somehow proves your point. Hilarious stuff, man. Get a clue. The difference being Chacin now has an injury and it’s up in the air if he’ll be able to pitch again this year, clearly a different situation then when you were blowing steam about him being worthless. Pick something less asinine to go down with the ship on. It was fun to pants you the first time it’s less fun each subsequent time Chacin had a -0.1 trade value prior to his injury, which was the same as Albers. The only one who hasn't got a clue how things work is obviously yourself. There's nothing wrong with being wrong, but at least some people have enough self-awareness to admit it. You won't have to worry about getting pantsed any longer as you're going on the block list, your posts offer zero substance whatsoever. Bye now!
