Grisham, Dubon, and Shaw all went yard for San Antonio so far tonight.
-
No one said he's going to start at SS every night. He's versatile. Totally untrue about his defense as well. Dubon has very solid scouting reports about his defense, he's a far more polished middle infielder defensively than Hiura.
-
Dubon is on the 40. He just hit his 14th HR tonight -- he has developed a power stroke to add to everything else he does. He turns 25 in 2 weeks, it's not like he's been rushed. Just call the man up already, he has earned the opportunity.

Is 2020 Braun’s last year in Milwaukee?
adambr2 replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is like saying "name me another better RH reliever on our team than Matt Albers." It says a lot more about the quality of RH bats on our team than it does about Ryan Braun. Yeah, but it also says we shouldn't be giving him away or in a rush to just dump him. There's not really any dumping him anyway. He's not a tradeable player and he's a sunk cost. So he'll be here in whatever way he can most benefit the team through next season and then they'll move on. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. -

Cain is not getting it done with the bat this year, but he just saved at least 3 runs.

So I guess the pitcher batting 8th thing is just done? I really don't care either way, but that clearly wasn't the problem. I think there's sound strategy behind it, but I am good with either way. What I don't understand is just doing it for a couple weeks and then throwing it out. If you believe in the strategy of it, do it. If you don't, don't. But changing it up randomly makes it look like you're just winging it with no real strategy in mind.
-
If our OF situation is this dire, I would rather give Carlos Gomez a call than continue to see Tyler Saladino out there every day. Really.
-
Sorry, was meant more as more of a tongue in cheek jab than condensation. I feel like when you're criticizing our MLB manager's strategies, telling us his strategies won't work to be successful, and speaking of the strategies you employed as an amateur manager, you kind of open yourself up to that kind of thing. Are you really suggesting we slap Saladino in the lineup around #3 and Arcia around #6 just to split up the weak bats? I also totally disagree with you that Thames should ever start vs. LHP, and if Aguilar can't go against lefties he has no business on the roster.
-
So rather than IL him and call someone up with the AS break coming up anyway, they are going to roll with a man down in two consecutive series just to ensure he is available on the 12th and 13th?
-
It seems like you really know your stuff. I wonder if there is anyone who can get you in touch with Counsell and DS to share your insights and wisdom and thus fix the problems with this team right now.

He hasn't been the savior, but it hasn't been nearly all his fault, either. He's been ok. Shaw's nightmare season has continued in San Antonio so far. Hitting. 205 in AAA, 0 for 3 with 2 K's yesterday. He's certainly not making them regret the decision. I'm to the point where I think if Hiura doesn't start really helping, it's time for a "Hiura eat crow thread" where every one who was nails on a chalkboard calling for him to come up, or blasted the Brewers for sending him down, maybe has to admit that he isn't the god among men they were making him out to be. He's ok now, and he'll likely be good in the future. He should probably be up. But he's no savior. But...90% of people who wanted Hiura up weren't expecting him to be the savior. They were expecting him to hit decent enough to be a considerable upgrade from the production that Shaw has provided, with the opportunity for more in the future as he grows. Which is exactly what he has been. I don't know why there is this "I told you so" rhetoric around Hiura. He's doing fine. He needs to cut down on his K's, but for a 22 year old who has been playing professional baseball for all of 2 years, for his first 100 or so ABs, he's been just fine. He's got a 102 OPS+ to Shaw's 48. He absolutely has been a large offensive upgrade over Shaw even already and he'll improve. No one expected him to hit like Christian Yelich from Day 1. Or if people did, they were certainly few and far between.

adambr2 replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No. They'll decline the option for 2021 and move forward, barring some huge resurgence next year. He'll still be here a year and a half, enjoy it. It will be time to move on. It already would be if we weren't stuck in the contract and/or had any better options. -
2019 Standings and Playoff Races Discussion
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We are 4 games over. 500. At this time last season we were 18 games over. Yeesh. -
When you get 2 hits it does not really matter who is leading off. Grandal has an excellent eye at the plate and gets on base about 38% of the time which is important in front of Yelich. He's probably as good of an option as any, they just don't really have anything going offensively right now.

Our starters have been great the last 2 games too........should we talk about how good Haines has been? Castillo was great today.......but he wasn't in Miller Park.......same pitcher different day It's almost like the pitchers and hitters are more responsible for their results then the coaches are...... That wasn't my point. Pitching coaches can't be judged on a day to day basis, that's all I'm saying, and yes,losing DJ has made a difference. No one said hitters and pitchers aren't responsible too, it can be both. So no, I wouldn't say Hook ( you said Haines but I'm guessing you meant Hook) has been great based on today, and I wouldn't say DJ has been great based on today. I would judge the entire season body of work which is a night and day difference between the two.
-
I thought it was Cain for some reason and thought "he's going to beat that out". Then I saw it was Arcia who either doesn't hustle or is just plain slow.
-
Not very many "DJ not coaching very well today" jokes floating around the last two games.
-
86 MPH hanger right down the middle and Saladino dribbles a foul. Might as well have been a pitcher up there.
-
Ugh. Thames just missed it.
-
If Castillo is getting nervous about the developments here, he probably shouldn't be. This offense is completely punchless. If Yelich can't figure him out, I don't see anyone else doing it.
-
Saladino makes me think Counsell saw all the complaints about Perez whenever he started, decided "I'll teach them to complain" and brought in a worse version of Perez to start every day.
-
That was huge. Can't afford to get down multiple runs against Castillo.
