I know you have to give the young guys a shot to start at some point, but we had a great model last year. A bunch of "meh" starters that could give you 5 innings and 2 runs, but several power arms that could dominate 1 or 2 innings out of the pen to bridge the gap to the late innings. This year the model is pretty much the opposite. I don't know that it's going to work as well.
-
We are going to need to score a lot of runs to win this year.
-
Why do we take so many called 3rd strikes with runners in scoring position?
-
Because it just doesn't really matter these days. Managers usually have underlying reasons -- matchups, splits, historical stats, etc. for how they line up their starters to begin the season, particularly when there's very little difference between the 5 in projections. It doesn't necessarily mean that Counsell believes Peralta is our 2nd best starter.

Are you SERIOUS Yelich?!?!

FWIW, I did email Haudricourt to express doubt at his assertion that the Brewers likely don't even have 9M to spend and his response was this: "I can assure you that I know what their budget is and what their flexiblity is. Otherwise, I wouldn't put it in print. I don't just throw stuff out there and wonder if it might be true. You can disagree if you want but I stand by what I write, as always."

Hardees is having some major trouble for the Cubs tonight.
-
Honestly if we had signed Darvish I'd be pretty panicked about that deal by this point. Dude was brutal tonight. 2.2 innings and 7 walks, yikes.
-
I don't have the slightest idea who is going to close this game if it goes to the 9th 4-2, honestly, if Hader isn't available. Guessing he is under the circumstances. Long-term this year, I worry we are going to be forced to lean on Hader's arm more than we otherwise would like to with a thinner bullpen than late last year.
-
Thames is not going to be any threat to Aguilar's playing time if he keeps it up with days like today. Brutal.
-
I don't believe a word of most of what Haudricourt says, I think there are better insiders on this board than him. That said, that's pretty much the answer I would expect Mark A to give if he had had any contact at all with Kimbrel or his agent. Technically honest, satisfying to the asker, but non-committal.
-
He must have hit it hard... but right at the Cardinals shortstop. Can we get Hiura up and Moose at short yet? Arcia's defense is what literally allows them to play an average defensive 3B at 2B. He isn't going anywhere. He'll eventually hit. To be fair, we've been saying this for several years with Arcia. But yeah Moose isn't going to short.
-
Did I mention how much I hate Kolten Wong?
-
Yu Darvish is going full Tyler Chatwood. 6 walks through 2 innings. Annoyingly has only yielded 1 run because the Rangers are terrible.
-
Blech. That's just a terrible AB by Thames. On him that we didn't add on that inning.
-
Cannot be caught looking like that with 2 runners in scoring position. Come on Eric.
-
I really had hoped that postseason Arcia was a sign of things to come last year. Not at all so far.
-
God I freaking hate Kolten Wong.
-
It's a long season, and you're probably going to need to keep Braun out of the lineup about 25% of the time to keep him at optimal health. He'll be in there again tomorrow.
-
I'll be in attendance. If it isn't a strike, expect a loud BOOOOO from me Boo him anyway, he grew up a Cub's fan!
-
I doubt anyone would have taken them even for free. We would have had to take at least some salary back. But as the previous poster mentioned, MA isn’t holding up a deal like Kimbrel just for these two. Probably with Thames. I think the Jay's had to eat 10M off the 12M Kendrys Morales contract to dump him. I still don't think the Anderson deal is bad.
-
Thames and Anderson are making $6M each this year. My personal opinion is that neither of those contracts is stopping Mark A. from getting Kimbrel if Stearns decides to pull the trigger.
-
My cousin is throwing out the first pitch tonight, so there's that.
