Hopefully Moose is good to go soon. Spangenberg being any kind of a regular would be very bad.
-
I know Arcia is hardly Ted Williams, but dumb of the Cardinals not to walk him with 2 out.
-
"I hope they show the next pitch from the camera view directly behind the plate", said no one ever.

I mean by definition the last "must-win" games were Game 6 and 7 of the NLCS. But they're looking up at a lot more teams for the WC than they are the division and are nearing the territory where they'll need a September like last year to squeak in. And this team just isn't good enough for that kind of September again. So at some point they do need to start putting together some sort of 8 out of 9 stretch or something like that, and they're running out of time for it.
-
They'll win a few games in a row at some point, but that's not going to be enough. I just think they're not as good as you think they are.
-
Spangenberg was not even good enough to make the 40 man roster out of spring training, man. He's nothing. He's a waiver wire guy. Nelson has been a complete disaster and has to be in the camp of "prove it" before he can be counted on for anything. Peralta was recently demoted from the MLB roster because of how bad he was pitching and sports a 5.73 ERA and -.9 WAR on the year. Suter is a secondary soft tossing 6th starter/swingman who hasn't pitched in 13 months. These. Are the secret weapons. You are expecting to rescue a -30 run differential team and turn it into a playoff team. And you see no problem with this.
-
I was told early in the summer, repeatedly, that the poor run differential was far less meaningful about the prognosis for this team than the potential positive regression from all the under performers.
-
Too bad that didn't get out. Would have breathed some life into this game.
-
It's actually been 13 days. It's been 2 days since you said you could tell something special was happening with this team and it was more than just a 3 game winning streak. You gotta stop making predictions. Sometimes a 3 game winning streak really is just a 3 game winning streak and little else. Gio is a problem. Davies is a problem. Lineup vs LHP a problem. Cain a problem. Other than those problems, this team in great shape. Some of the issues I mentioned can be mitigated somewhat by the Stearns September Roster. But if Moose has a broken wrist it’s gonna be tough. Nobody coming up in September is going to make any bit of a difference in being a playoff team or not. If we has some secret weapons ready to unload in September, they'd be here helping now.
-
I was wondering the same thing. You've given up 8 runs in 2 innings, at least make yourself useful and give us a shot to cut it to 6 with a single.

Season on the line and this is how this team comes to play in the biggest series of the year. Stick a fork in these guys. They're done.
-
Keep walking em, Gio.
-
I know you are just nuts about Braun but come on. A .864 OPS lefty with 31 HRs is hardly not the guy you want up there and calling him a turd is just silly. He just didn't get it done.
-
2 walks lead to multiple runs from a big 2 out hit when we're in the field, and 2 baserunners and no runs, 0 for 2 with RISP. One inning into this game and it's already totally symbolic of our season.
-
Don't be so sure.
-
Seems like this "awesome" rotation may have some holes in it. Fall behind every hitter, walk multiple batters, give up runs. Ah well. Not like this is a super important series or anything.

Is Counsell the Right Manager for the Brewers?
adambr2 replied to RollieTime's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Why are you limiting it to trades within the last 10 months? Because 4 years is much more time consuming. Does it matter? There's going to be a ton of subjectivity no matter the sample size. What are the really obvious wins? Yelich trade, Lucroy trade, Thornburg trade, Rogers for Broxton/Supak, Lind trade, probably Jeffress for Scott, maybe K-Rod for Pina. What are obvious losses? Smith for Bickford/Susac, Schoop deal, Khris Davis deal. Basically everything else is either too soon to grade, debatable, or who cares. There's no way you're coming up with 80% without putting your finger on the scale. -
Is Counsell the Right Manager for the Brewers?
adambr2 replied to RollieTime's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I would absolutely disagree that 4 out of every 5 trades he made was a "win" or whatever metric you use for his batting average. Kindly show your work, then. I’d bet my math is pretty close to correct. It's just too vague and subjective to define using any math. Most trades are of the who cares/push variety (Kratz for Hinojosa, Petricka for cash) just to give a couple examples of who cares, and so many more are just really subjective and will have arguments on both sides. Without judging the trade deadline this year because those are just too soon to fully grade, Stearns has made 5 trades since the end of last offseason and only Broxton for Hill/Valerio/Wahl looks like a unanimous winner and even that one doesn't really have a signature "get" on our side to really call it a clear winner. It's just impossible to get to 80% on something so subjective. -
Anticlimactic.
-
Ugh. Terrible 0-2 pitch from Bradley and Yelich just fouled it off.
-
Automate the damn strike zone. Please automate it. Would have been nice to see Cain trying to do more than Sunday jog to 1st.
-
I know he was rode out of town for whatever reason but Villar would have been a great fit for this team. Would have really been a great option off the bench against either handed pitchers and a nice guy to be able to plug in anywhere in the IF when needed. Just a really bad trade.
-
Just because he doesn’t have drastic splits doesn’t mean he’s the best option to hit against a lefty. I would guess Perez has better numbers vs LHP. Maybe he is but Grisham bit lefties in the minors and if he never sees them in the pros, he will actually become a platoon player. Almost all lefties are platoon players to some extent. Mike Moustakas, who is considered good enough to start against lefties, has a .712 career OPS vs LHP. Travis Shaw, one of our best offensive players coming into the season, career .669 OPS versus lefties. Yelich obviously can hit them, but even he hits righties at a far higher clip, 120 points better. Christian Yelich of all people has only a career .787 OPS versus lefties. This is why when you load up your roster with lefty bats, you're going to put up a lot of bad offensive days against lefty pitching like we are doing once again today. It's not just about PH options.
-
I mean I probably would have went with Perez but I really am not criticizing CC either way. The point was the roster construction gives them no good options, not that he used the wrong option.
