    Salami honeymoon was sure short. Well, CC is going a bit overboard with him. The two grand slams were an awesome thing, but this is not a guy who should ever under any circumstance be in the starting lineup 5 straight days.
  2. adambr2
    Again you can't try Freddy starting again in Woodruff's absence. He's just too valuable in the pen.
  3. adambr2
    This Tyler Saladino as an everyday starter thing has got to stop. He hit grand slams in back to back games and it was a really cool story. He's still a well below average player and having him in the starting lineup 5 straight games is getting beyond ridiculous.

    Smith and Jackson will be on a plane to San Antonio tomorrow, so it shouldn't matter much.

    This team is such a disappointment. Finally have a nice little stretch and just squander it and go right back to square one. This team needs a big stretch where they win 9 out of 10. Not some nice little 5-2 run followed immediately by reverting right back where they were.

    Really don't know why people get borderline angry at the very suggestion that maybe this team does miss Derek Johnson. If you don't buy into it, that's fine. I'm guessing the Reds are quite happy with his work for them.

    Ray+Lutz+Arcia gets you to surplus value on Edwin Diaz, FWIW. According to baseballtradevalues.com.

    No, a .523 playoff OPS is quite bad, regardless of the result in a single AB.
  9. adambr2
    Yes. I also remember that no one expected them to contend in the first place, so viewed in context it was still a very successful season. I long for the day when missing the playoffs by 1 game is not considered a "very successful season" for the Brewers.

    Sidenotes: - Braun was away - Hiura was essentially unavailable other than to pinch hit - Hader was unavailable - Peralta was presumably unavailable This team has got to stop hamstringing themselves with 22 and 23 man rosters. They aren't good enough or deep enough to get away with that.

    Womp womp.

    One batter too late, Craigers.
  13. adambr2
    This is a terrible bullpen.
  14. adambr2
    The topic title and original post don't make much sense together.

    You were saying things like this last night too. No one was writing Saladino off because of 50 PAs. He has over 1,000 PAs at the MLB level. I'm thrilled of course, about the last two nights, and it must feel awesome for him.
  16. adambr2
    So, I guess I kind of have to be done saying anything negative about Saladino for awhile.
  17. adambr2
    I've seen about 1500 Arcia ABs too many.
  18. adambr2
    Pirates gave up 3 to the Cardinals in the 10fh, had a big rally going in the bottom of the 10th, and ruined it by bunting.
  19. adambr2
    I thought Braun was at Skaggs' funeral tonight.
  20. adambr2
    It's a mixed feeling when the bases are loaded with nobody out, but Orlando Arcia and Tyler Saladino are coming up next.
  21. adambr2
    No, Moose was ok at best. A .767 OPS for the Brewers in 2018 and was quite bad in the playoffs. He has, of course, been much more than okay in 2019.
  22. adambr2
    Yes, I have seen their starter/reliever splits. I've also seen Peralta throw 6 or more innings of one run ball or less eight times. I also know that it's difficult getting yanked back and forth between starting and relieving and AAA and the majors; just look at Woodruff's first two seasons. I also know that Adam Wainwright was the closer on St. Louis's 2006 World Series team, and I'll bet that they're pretty glad they didn't keep him in that role. I believe that it's a fool's errand to definitively define a guy as a starter or reliever based on less than 200 career innings. Ok, great. Then if the Brewers really believe that Peralta is a starter (I'm still quite skeptical), revisit his role in the offseason. Doing it now in the middle of a pennant race is extremely risky at best. As you just yourself said, getting yanked back and forth is tough for these guys, so leave Peralta alone in the role he's been successful in this year.

    I don't want it to be Peralta for similar reasons I don't want it to be Houser. It's just too damaging to our pen where we finally seem to have things working in a positive direction. So... you want our pen to be stronger than our starting rotation? Why not the best pitchers be the ones who pitch the most innings? Because the best pitchers aren't always still the best when you change their role. If it was that simple, Josh Hader would be in our rotation. Ideally I'd like both to be strong, but the pen has been what has killed us lately. Have you seen Peralta's starter/reliever splits? Housers? I have great doubt that either performs better in the rotation than Supak and either simultaneously creates another big hole in the bullpen.

    I don't want it to be Peralta for similar reasons I don't want it to be Houser. It's just too damaging to our pen where we finally seem to have things working in a positive direction. I'd tolerate giving Wilkerson a shot, but I'd prefer Supak. Whoever it is, we need to be reasonably confident of them keeping us in games for the next 6-8 weeks or so.
  25. adambr2
    I really hope it is not Houser back to the rotation. It's just a much better bullpen here with Houser. He's better in that role and it lessens the burden on the other relievers. Supak is my top choice and to me he's earned his shot. He's already on the 40, so it's easy. Call up whoever for a few days -- Barnes, Williams, Dubon, Shaw. Give Supak one more start in Biloxi and then call him up to start 7/30 in Oakland.
