  1. If they can keep one I'll be thrilled. I can't imagine they'll be able to keep both. Moose is going to be looking for that 4 year 70 million dollar deal he's been looking for the last couple offseasons, only this time he's going to get it from someone.
  2. This should be the last day for awhile that we'll see Perez in the lineup, thankfully.
  3. If you believe in bWAR it isn't even a 2 man race. Bellinger must be the best corner outfielder ever while Yelich must be worse than Domingo and Khris Davis. If I had to call a winner right now, I'd probably say Bellinger, but it's insanely close. Both have good talking points and you really can't go wrong either way. It's still early and there will probably be more clarity by the end of the season with one separating.
  4. I still remember about 10 years ago there was a so called "Black Wednesday" type day for the Brewers where they DFAed Bill Hall, sent down Hardy, and made some other moves. I could see a day like that happening this year where Shaw and Arcia go down and Aguilar gets DFAed.
  5. Yeah Bellinger is amazing too. The last thing the rest of the NL needed was for one of the Dodgers' prospects to turn out to be super elite.
  6. Houser has come a long long ways from being the guy who barfed on the mound.
  7. Never would have imagined when we acquired Yelich that he'd be a 50 HR guy. Not that it's a foregone conclusion but at this point it's hard to imagine him not hitting 23 more.
  8. Yea frankly I'm shocked they're in 1st. I guess the positive spin is that if they ever do get their head on straight they should win the division easily. Pina is great defensively, but I’d rather have Nottingham as our backup at this point. In my opinion he's a guy who needs to spend every day at AAA and develop. You have to determine if he can be the guy next year because Grandal may not be back. You can't evaluate that when he's playing sparingly here, backup catcher just isn't much of a gig with Grandal as the starting catcher.
  9. I always thought the "we're still in 1st!" battle cry in the middle of summer is a little bit hollow and meaningless. We constantly harped on this in 2017 and it meant nothing. In 2018 I think we were at least 5 games out in September and ended up winning the division. First place in a tight division at this point in the season is completely and utterly meaningless other than being a talking point.
  10. Has given up 9 runs in his last 12 innings. On edit....make that 10 in his last 13 innings. And he just walked the pitcher. On 4 pitches. He's got nothing.
  11. No. No, they haven't. Hiura had a nice stint with us and that is all great and dandy. Hiura looks like he is going to be a nice hitter for us but to just pencil in his production as if it is a certain is pretty foolish. Truthfully Hiura doesn't really profile as a leadoff guy, I'd guess he's more of a 5 hitter when he comes back up and eventually a 3 hitter. I'd probably go Thames right now against RHP who is sneaky good at getting on base, at least until Cain gets it going.
  12. Good to see Braun stepping up today and being the offense we need right now.
  13. He's been pitching way over his head, statistically. He's not a bad pitcher but he's not this sub 3 ERA guy suddenly, he's the same middle to back end of the rotation guy he's always been. I've been waiting for that big "statistical correction" game he's been way overdue for, but he's been able to avoid it so far. He looks pretty bad today, though.
  14. I wouldn't have any problem with Hiura batting leadoff when he's up. It will never happen though because managers are big believers in not putting pressure on rookies like that and yadda yadda yadda, but he's probably a better option than Cain right now. I would even be ok with Grandal or even Thames. Just not many great options.
  15. LOL @ Hosmer. You are making wayyy to much to be a mediocre player to do that.
  16. They didn't start him against a LHP the other day either. Aguilar is a zero defensive value, positionally limited one trick pony who has been very bad at that one trick this year. If it's gotten to the point where you can't start him against LHP, he doesn't belong on the roster.
  17. They need some more righties on this bench, Hiura, Dubon, Saladino, whoever, they at least need some options. Having to start an already greatly struggling Travis Shaw against a LHP is just nuts.
  18. Optioning guys like Shaw and Arcia is an entirely different conversation than talking about moving on from expensive veterans. Which is a good argument for keeping as much flexibility on your roster as far as optionable players as possible.
