It at least was a Friday night. Unfortunately the alternative to not waiting it out is to have even more games to make up along the way. There were probably people at the game that could not have attended a hypothetical make-up game. Regardless of what you do about rain someone won't be happy.
-
Come on Chase. 1 out short of an official game on a rainy night is not the time to lose it.
-
Every Ball to Cain was closer to being a strike than the one the umpire actually called a strike. But they were still balls, FYI. Cain didn't get a break before the double.
-
DeGrom with a 5+ ERA now in April.
-
I don't know if it's so much that yet. DeGrom is just all over the place.
-
Boy DeGrom just is not right tonight.
-
Cain fights all the way back from 0-2 to make it a full count only to swing at what would have been an RBI Ball 4. Can't waste away these chances against DeGrom.

#PitchersWhoRake does not apply to Chase Anderson, unfortunately.

Domingo Santana to the Mariners, Gamel and Zavolas to MKE
adambr2 replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He was talking 2016. I don't think anyone would argue that he isn't untradeable/has no trade value now. Braun needs a good benching, a full week or so. I'm still confident that some more value can be squeezed out of him (see 2018 vs. 2019 Felix Hernandez), but he needs to get a little wake up call first. I guess I don't see how this is going to help. I don't think it's that he's not trying or anything. He's just not that good anymore. -

Well, there's a rock, and there's a hard place, and between those is where David Stearns currently resides in regards to Braun. There is no easy solution. His production arguably doesn't warrant consistent playing time any longer, but as a small market team, how do you justify paying him $20 million to play on the short end of a platoon? His $20M annually is a sunk cost. We can't get it back. It's incurred. Organizations and people in general get too caught up trying to recover the value of a sunk cost. It's like a guy at the casino having lost $2,000 pressing on to try to recover it. If he's a platoon player, he's a platoon player -- salary should play no part in it. -
Someone is going to have to convince me why we still value Tristen Lutz so highly. I'm just not seeing it.

It's hard to believe Ben Sheets wasn't a 100 game winner.

The pitcher would either need to be very good (think Ace-level) for 4-5 years, or just good enough, and young enough, to hold down a rotation spot for a decade. Outside of the obvious guys like Peralta and Burnes, who are young and have ace-level stuff, the guy that comes to mind is Zach Davies. He's only 26, and is already off to a nice start win total-wise. He's not a power pitcher, and is just good enough to hold down a mid-rotation spot for the next decade. Yep, Davies is the one I was thinking of as well. He could plausibly be halfway there at the end of this year and would still only be 26. He's the kind of candidate you're speaking of I think -- back end of the rotation guy who is good enough to probably hold a spot down for 10 years. The only issue is, back end of the rotation guys aren't very hard to replace, so I doubt the Brewers would pay enough to keep him if he hits free agency. It would have to be a kind of contract where Davies gives us a team friendly long term deal early on, like right now. Furthermore he's a Scott Boras client who doesn't sign many of those types of deals.

Welp.

Exactly what I was thinking He got away with it, but surely no other reason than dumb luck.
-
Come on Yelich...
-
Is Craig drunk? Why wouldn't you go go Yelich here?
-
Yeah no Bill, you were right the first time. It's pretty much just been one guy for the Brewers offense, not contributions from a lot of people.

Brewers sign LHP Gio Gonzalez
adambr2 replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He was pretty good albeit in limited time as a reliever for us. I think guys have a different approach coming out the pen for a couple innings than knowing they have to pace themselves for a long outing, so it's hard to know or compare. -
Why is Jeffress continuing to just chew up garbage and low-leverage innings? Are we really sitting on far superior options like Alex Wilson that we can afford to just ease him back in?
-
LePay drinking up there?
-
Aguilar is a 1 year wonder.
-
I know you're being sarcastic, but they are in the top 5 in the NL in runs scored. Probably not a great comparison here.

I don't know how much Hook is to blame, but the DJ void looks very real right now. People saying there is no problem and this should be a .500 month are watching a different team than me. There are real problems here, and unlike previous years not much talent outside of Hiura that could come up and be of immediate help to the problems.
