Seattle locker room after the game
-
We need forfeit rules. 38 mph? That's ridiculous. Lara's 1st HR is sorta tainted.
-
Remember when we used to complain about the lack of production from the bottom of the order
-
I was hoping Hamilton would bunt. I guess I'll take a dinger
-
Joey O. As we all knew, Joey's bat can carry this team...
-
Bill is still arby eligible, so if the Brewers decline the team option (like they did last year), they would still retain his rights and they would just follow the normal arby rules. Not sure Bill would get $14.5M in arby next year.
-
I'm not sure I care. Lara and Lockridge are pretty much redundant this year. Its really a matter of who we think will perform best the rest of the season. I think I'll give Sal and Lockridge a slight edge so that means Lara goes down but its really a toss up to me.

Jake. Bauers Appreciation thread
ClosetBrewerFan replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
His baserunning is very under rated. If he gets sent home on a close play, I feel confident that he will be safe. He is faster than he looks and makes good decisions on the bases. I'm also good with him being offered the QO. If he accepts we could trade Vaughn (to offset QO salary) and use Luke Adams as depth. If he doesn't accept we could keep Vaughn and use Adams or Burke as depth (or Fischer). -
Agreed. Brady that high is a bit of a surprise. Other surprises are jose Rodriguez at 22 and brailyn antunez at 30. I would have swapped those two.also, no 2026 draft pick was slotted higher than 17. I can't remember a deeper system we have had.
-
Why wasn't Luke Adams called up instead of Bae?
-
I'd be happy if they give him a minor league contract. However, he's lost a couple miles on his heater since when he was last successful so worried he may be washed up.
-
Insurance in case they could not get any RP at the deadline. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. This was really a Yoho for Naylor trade. I doubt Perkins had much trade value. Likely was a DFA candidate.
-
Oh what could have been. But this outcome sure seemed inevitable this year.

Brewers are acquiring Anthony Sanzetela
ClosetBrewerFan replied to ImissDougMelvin's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Senzetela has a $14M team option next year FWIW. Seems unlikely the Brewers would pick that up unless they trade him in the offseason. -

Jake Burger and his 718 OPS is the big bat you wanted. Vaughn has more than 100 OPS on him this year. That would be a downgrade to our offense. -
That's a lot to give up but I dont think its an overpay, it depends on how you value those to OFs. I dont rate either of them as highly as others do on this site. They have plenty of depth. Too bad it did not help the Rule 5 draft protection as neither had to be protected,
-
This one feels painful as the Brewers could have easily beat this deal. JD Thompson and Ricki Moneys would have been an overpay but that is the closest comp I could come up with.

How do we have only one hit thru 5 innings against Mahle? One hit!!!?!?
-
Crow's last two starts in AAA looked very good. I'd rather try him than give Sproat more starts.
-
Sproat's ERA in his last 7 starts is actually pretty good. 3.45 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Even his last 15 he has a 4.48 ERA. The problem is his blowups and that Murphy is pulling him before it gets out of hand. In his last 7 starts, he threw 2, 4,2, 3, 4, 5.1, 6, and 3.2 IP. That's horrible for a starting pitcher and a bullpen killer. Somehow he is 2-1 in those starts. That's thanks to the bullpen and the offense.
-
That's fair. I should have checked the stats first cause it feels worse than that. However, in my defense his OBP in the last week is 250. He has been hitting extra base hits, which I will take in any slot in the lineup. Maybe the argument is he should be hitting cleanup. 😜

Continuous Winning with a Youth Movement
ClosetBrewerFan replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yelich will continue to get chances because he is capable of getting hot for a long stretch. Not too long ago Joey O was the worst hitter in baseball and now we are saying he is "not terribly exciting, but a 2-3 WAR player." If the Brewers are unwilling to give up a on a minimum wage player with minor league options, I'm fairly confident they will give Yelich an even longer leash. If he hits 600 OPS all next year, I could see them eating the 2028 salary and 2029 buyout, but we got a while yet before the Brewers give up on him. -
Yeah, Yelly leading off again is frustrating. Looks like Murph is willing to die on that hill.
-
The draft tracker is not correct. The Brewers went well over the their allotment, not just $50k. The tracker shows the original cap of ~$8M but Knaak's slot value needs to be subtracted from that. I believe they used up most of the 5% overage, depending on how that overage is calculated. Is the 5% overage on the original cap or is it 5% over the value after subtracting Knaak's slot value?
