    Atta boy Jesus.

    Grandal is one of those catchers where the defensive metrics just don't meet the eye test at all. I was all about improving the offense at that position, full disclosure, but I'm really not sure how much I'm really going to miss him next year.

    Cain needs to settle down. He really looks like he's trying way too hard. Swinging at so many Ball 4s this year as well.
  4. adambr2
    Official scorer doing his part to try to put a dent in Yelich's MVP resume. To be fair, it's not really a triple either.
  5. adambr2
    I love how A-Rod JUST predicted Schwarber was going to have a big day and then he immediately does that.
  6. adambr2
    I certainly have no regrets about Cain's contract but I'm fully expecting the last 2 years of it to be pretty brutal.

    This homeplate umpire is indeed crap.

    I couldn't do that soon enough if I was in charge and it were an option. The Brewers need to worry about a title. No, that doesn't mean trading Hiura for a reliever, but I think it would be stubborn not to part with any prospects. Their staff is stabilizing right now, but they should heed the warning signs we saw last month because there's a recent history of tremendous struggles and volatility for many of the guys who are pitching well right now. I could be underestimating Smith's market too. You just never know. Might take an Erceg or Lutz headliner which would be tougher.

    I think one guy they should probably actively look to deal is Marcos Diplan, who is becoming a liability on our 40 but would probably fit well on a rebuilding club who doesn't mind being patient with him. I think the peak of what the Giants can really ask for is a comparable to the Kelvin Herrera deal last year which if I remember was headlined around an organizational top 10-12. Something around a Payton Henry + Marcos Diplan + a change of scenery guy like Trent Grisham I think is a pretty fair rental price for Smith.
  10. adambr2
    Well, it's a 100% certainty at this point for Hiura that the "7th" service year has been acquired. It's just a matter of 4 arbitration seasons or 3 right now.
  11. adambr2
    I think Will Smith makes too much sense not to add him back from the Giants. The Giants aren't contending and I would look to make this move as soon as June. It would be great to add another power lefty to the pen. The price should be suppressed with Smith being a rental. As an aside, Smith and Jeffress are best friends and I think it would be really cool to see them reunited here after the deadline deals in 2016.

    Someone who knows more about NBA transactions than me -- what are the chances they could unload Snell and his salary in the offseason to give us more flexibility? What would they have to include to incentivize someone taking on Snell?

    vs LHP 256/334/471 vs RHP 237/319/415 We've actually been better vs LHP than vs RHP to this point in the season. Really handicapped vs lefties, even worse vs righties, 24-17, not bad. This is true, but it's partly again a statement about our righty bats -- they're not very high quality as it is but naturally far worse against RHP. The LHP numbers are skewed because we usually keep our worst L/L bats from LHP pitching (Shaw, Thames) and we don't usually have that luxury against RHP, and Yelich is generally awesome against anyone. This wasn't a statement against the team as a whole or their record, but they could definitely use a quality RHB in the lineup.

    It's pretty standard practice. Doesn't do any good to have teams on your NTC that you know won't be trading for you. I doubt he'll get an extension out of it but it does give him some say and leverage in July.

    Would you really have felt that much better about it if it had happened in 9 instead of 15? Knowing we had a relatively rested pen, including Hader, ready to go for tomorrow, yes I would have. I guess I don't know what you want them to do differently. Wave the white flag anytime a game gets passed the 10th? Yes it's early, but you still have to play to win the game, particularly against a team that you're very likely to be competing with record-wise down to the last few games of the season. It worked out last week against the Mets, just didn't work out today. Hader is fine, threw 19 pitches today after 2 days off and I'm sure is fine if needed tomorrow. He was pulled early enough. Other than that Burch chewed up the vast majority of extras and is just going to be sent down tomorrow for new blood so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    There is no way to know for sure, it depends where the cutoff is going to be set when calculated in a few years. The goal would be that in 2021 his total number of services days would be outside of the top 22% of players with between two and three seasons of MLB service. Below are the past cutoffs for number of service years and days... 2018: 2.134 2017: 2.123 2016: 2.131 2015: 2.130 2014: 2.133 2013: 2.122 2012: 2.140 2011: 2.146 2010: 2.122 2009: 2.139 On June 1st there will be a 121 service days remaining in 2019. That would be lower than any number in the past decade, and likely safe from the Super Two cutoff. Tuesday, May 21st would be 132 service days remaining which is very close to the typical cutoff. This coming Monday would be 140 service days remaining and would very likely be on the wrong side of the Super Two cutoff. Thing is, you can get him up now and still make sure he misses the cutoff. Just plan to send him down for awhile later when you've got some righty heavy matchups coming up or he goes into a bit of a slump.

    Hernan Perez can play anywhere. He is not preventing a Hiura callup nor would Hiura prevent Perez from playing if needed. Also, Perez had a nice day but to say what he did is "way" more productive than anything Hiura could have done is certainly a bit of hyperbole.

    Shaw, Moustakas, and Yelich were a combined 0 for 13 today. Lefties are 3 for 25 in this series. This lineup is really handicapped against a team with solid lefty arms. There is a major problem with the quality of righty bats on this team. There is not a single righty bat north of an .800 OPS on this roster. They need Keston Hiura in this lineup, sooner rather than later.

    Would you really have felt that much better about it if it had happened in 9 instead of 15?
  20. adambr2
    That will happen eventually when your offense pisses around for 15 innings.
  21. adambr2
    Quit barking. It was a good hittable pitch and you just watched it go by.
  22. adambr2
    Seems the Brewers weren't interested in just getting the game over with.
  23. adambr2
    He was every bit as good last year as 2017, but he sure has been miserable this year.
  24. adambr2
    I'm not a fan of the sac bunt at all, but at some point, my goodness, lay one down and try to get a runner in scoring position, do something other than ground into DP after DP.
  25. adambr2
    Another double play. Unbelievable.
