    At least this one took a good play I mean sure, but it was just a little dribbler that almost found a hole. Not like he smoked one to the gap and was robbed by a diving catch.

    Mark it 0 for 5. Nothing like a date with the Brewers offense to cure whatever ails a struggling scrub lefty starter.

    2 out of 3 runs because of walks. STOP walking batters.
  4. adambr2
    Not a super great thing to keep putting runners on for free against the most HR prolific team in MLB.
  5. adambr2
    Hey, a team that can actually capitalize on a walk.
  6. adambr2
    The guy walks the pitcher and Cain immediately hacks at the first pitch inside. Already 0 for 4 w/ RISP tonight. Same old story, one that gets really old.

    Arcia gets some odd, inconsistent treatment from the organization. Counsell does not appear to trust him or believe in him much as a starter. Yet the front office has consistently ignored opportunities to go in a different direction at SS. Either the Brewers are just kind of winging it with Arcia or Stearns and Counsell have different perspectives on him.

    Boston professional sport fans have celebrated 11 championships with their teams just since 2002. Without even counting the numerous conference and division championships. They can get right out of here with their disappointment.

    Playoff odds currently at... 538: 34% BPro: 31.8% FanGraphs: 29.4% BRef: 28.1% Flip a coin twice, if you call it correctly both times you just did something with a 25% probability. If you call it wrong one of the two times we are definitely missing the postseason. For the record I actually just did this after reading this. I called tails twice and it was tails both times. So you are all welcome if the Brewers make the playoffs.

    At this point, yeah, I'm not sure why they even acquired Freitas. He deserves a shot. I understand PCL numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, but his are pretty incredible. You still have to hit. Just ask Corey Ray.
  11. adambr2
    No, zero chance. He was already left unprotected last fall and went undrafted. He's not nearly valuable enough of a prospect anymore to burn a 40 man spot on and likely again is in no risk of being selected in the Rule 5.

    Lyles has made this team better so far. I will certainly concede that. I guess my biggest frustration is that reasonable SS upgrades were available for next to nothing and it wasn't addressed at all, in fact we went the other way and essentially doubled down on our current SS. It's been a problem for a few years and they seem unwilling to address it. At some point, Orlando Arcia probably just isn't the guy you want.
  13. adambr2
    As I said like with the Galvis example, there was plenty of help out there available without any sort of mortgaging necessary. Lyles has been great so far, but I think it's unrealistic to think he alone is going to be one to tip the scales in a playoff race.
  14. adambr2
    Completely agreed. The Cubs made moves to address their biggest weaknesses, we did little to nothing. 1B is worse. SS is still horrific. The pen isn't any better with Pomeranz and Faria. I do agree that perhaps the arms in our system weren't as coveted to the Jays as what they actually received for Stroman. Some reasonable pen acquisitions, however, could have been had. Something as simple and cheap as Freddy Galvis would have been a considerable upgrade at SS. The gap in the standings between us and the Cubs is not large at all. Unlike last year though, I think the talent deficiency is likely too much to be overcome, with the bullpen likely to be the big X factor this year compared to last.
  15. adambr2
    Villar is a solid player. He was worth 2 WAR last year and has been worth 2.1 so far this year. If he were here he would not be playing much 2B, but he'd probably be filling in a lot at SS and some 3B against lefties. The deal was something like 4 years $20M, it would not have been that big of a deal for us if he had taken that.
  16. adambr2
    Woodruff is actually one I'd probably stay away from. He is already under control through age 32. Especially being a pitcher I'd be wary going beyond that.
  17. adambr2
    We always talk about the Cubs and Cardinals but the Mets are going to be the team to keep us out of the playoffs. They are good.
  18. adambr2
    The Aguilar trade made it worse. Now we are stuck mixing and matching at 1B against LHP. Small sample size, but Aguilar is hitting .348 for the Rays. His bat certainly would have helped today more than Faria's arm has helped us.
  19. adambr2
    Had our opportunities. Blew them. Familiar theme.
  20. adambr2
    You're going to hit on one of these predictions one of these days.
  21. adambr2
    So disappointed with our offense lately. So often we just can't come up with that one hit that we need.
  22. adambr2
    Probably won't do it now because he's almost ready to come back. Although you would have to think they didn't anticipate him missing 6 games already or they might have used the dl. It's a mystery. It isn't the first time this has happened, and it doesn't get any less infuriating. This is the exact reason MLB switched from 14 to 10 days, and the Brewers haven't really gotten it in my opinion. I am normally with you 100% on this viewpoint, but with a player of Yelich's caliber, it's worth the short bench for 8 days if you can have him back after 8 instead of 10. With most other players you're better off just having that extra depth and using the IL.
  23. adambr2
    Nice job by Lyles working out of it.
  24. adambr2
    The walks issued by this pitching staff the last few days are getting way out of hand. Sooner or later we're going to pay for them.
  25. adambr2
    Well, if you give it a couple years and they maintain their production, the cost skyrockets. That's the risk/reward with locking up your young talent. I really don't think anyone has been advocated giving Arcia a "huge" extension in the last year, but the point is taken that he wouldn't be looking like a great extension right now. On the other hand, the Lucroy young extension was a fantastic value and probably helped his value tremendously when we traded him. And the Braun contract, the first, 8 year/45 deal, turned out to be a fantastic decision.
