  1. I think in one of the latest game recaps from McCalvy it said that Counsell said a few things at the beginning and then let the players take it away.
  2. It's really surprising how much quieter his bat is in that Nashville AB. Why did he add such a giant chop this year?
  3. Between this, Trout's inability to return from wrist injury, and the general nosedive the Angels have done since the deadline, not trading him was really a terrible decision. Which figures, because it's the Angels. But at least they were trying!
  4. I mean, it's called don't click on the thread.
  5. Nice recovery. Let's walk this off now.
  6. Suddenly Adames, Santana, Canha, and Taylor are all producing. Offense not so bad anymore, go figure.
  7. 103? Abner bringing the heat today.
  8. Is it though, when they have demonstrated an inability to succeed at the highest level? If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, it seems quite reasonable to attempt to rework a swing that has arguably failed. Perhaps this is parsing language too finely, but I think "abandoning the swing" is overstating a bit. The swing itself looks pretty much the same to me, it's the stance and load that has been altered.
  9. It's not productive to start debates about who's sane or not. Frankly, this whole thread is circular at this point, there's not really anything new to say. Keston's having a nice year in AAA. It may or may not be indicative of future success. I don't think many people are going to get upset if he's promoted, but ultimately there's not much to do - either the Brewers will bring him up or they won't.
  10. Because you don't need both teams to do something to break the tie. At this point, you would need 4 Brewers losses + 4 Reds wins PLUS one more of either of those for Cincinnati to come out on top. Conceptually it doesn't make sense right now because they're at a whole number, but if they were 3.5 GB right now, you wouldn't say they're really 4.5 GB because of the tie, they would be 4 GB.
  11. I abhor the uni advertisements. And for a few million a year, totally not worth it.
  12. You're right, and I'm not going to complain about Contreras being 2 instead of 3, but I don't understand why Frelick is sitting at 4 instead of 3 when he's a) better than Santana, and b) you could have L-R-L-R if he were at 3. Probably the answer is he's a rookie and Counsell wants a veteran at 3? At least that's the reasoning I can come up with.
  13. Boy you're making a huge leap that somehow his lack of a promotion is causing him to go 0-18.
  14. It's worth noting that on the broadcast last night when Martinez came up for the 3rd time they were showing how far he was lining up in the box. His right foot was clearly beyond the (no longer visible) back chalk line. Contreras either has to call him out on that or move back. I wonder if robots will remove the incentive for catches to creep up in the box, if indeed that is happening.
  15. Agree, it seems like he and Yelich should be 1-2 in some order, then Contreras.
  16. All you had to do is delete the first sentence. Or say "I don't think that's true" Everyone's so quick to get their own dig in.
  17. If you're not going to post something substantive, then don't bother posting at all.
  18. Freeman's not that far off.
  19. The child/no child bit is amusing, but also seemed really out of place in what was supposedly a serious article.
  20. No, the criticism is you thinking a 2-4 night in AAA with some weakly hit balls has any particular relevance to whether he should be promoted or not. Ultimately there is very little that's new in the last many pages here. There are clearly reasons why the Brewers decided they don't view him as an option right now for DH. It would be nice if someone actually asked the Brewers what those reasons are so this could be put to bed.
  21. Uribe seems like the obvious solution, and I think Counsell is starting to go that direction already. There is zero chance though, that Uribe moves into the 8th and bumps Payamps to the 7th.
