  1. As someone posted in the Weimer thread, this makes me pretty skeptical about OAA as a stat. Brice's reputation has always been as a defensive wiz, and he's made so many plays this season that have confirmed that rep, I can't take a stat seriously that says he's mediocre. I'm confident anyone on the Brewers staff would also laugh at that assertion.
  2. Counsell's smart enough where as long as Hader wouldn't pitch a fit, I could (would want to) see him mix and match and not have either one of them installed as closer. That would be an elite bullpen, but highly improbable. On the other hand, if your offense isn't good and you're not going to add much of value, just go the other direction and play 5 inning games...
  3. The leg kick is different, but anyone else seeing Ben Sheets in that throwing motion?
  4. That may well be the case, but pitchers don't go and sabotage their career and massive potential earnings because they can't wait to leave the organization and sign with someone else. If Burnes has a 4+ ERA for too much longer, he's looking at a completely different contract than if he's a consistent Cy Young contender.
  5. Yeah, the goal isn't to win 100 games; it's to get into the playoffs and hope that all the pitchers are rolling. Is it likely? I dunno, but that's the scenario you're hoping for.
  6. Sarcasm is by definition intended to mock the recipient, so in that respect, that's not the level of discourse we strive for. More typically sarcasm refers to saying something but implying the exact opposite, which is obviously not what's happening here, and happens all the time (we've even adopted the text in blue convention for better conveying what is typically a tone of voice). There is nothing gained in mocking a legitimate point of view by saying that the person is living in fantasyland. If someone posts on how we're going to trade for Shohei and win the World Series? Sure, they're probably living in fantasy land. That's not this. This forum has existed for decades on the premise of a different level of discussion than the typical "win the internet at all costs" type posting that ends up in a race to the bottom.
  7. Don't look now, but if you don't count Toro's 8 ABs, Yelich has the highest OPS on the team. That's more of an indictment of our terrible offense, but it's not nothing.
  8. What's that supposed to mean? I agree Adames doesn't belong near the top of the lineup.
  9. I'm 99% sure this is on Counsell. There was a past quote where he basically said he wasn't sure what he wanted to do next year. If he decides he wants to continue, he'll be back. If he wants to watch his kids, can't fault him for that.
  10. Your tone is tiresome. You can disagree without the over the top attacks like living in fantasyland.
  11. I think you could axe the last paragraph and not lose anything from the article.
  12. Fixed That For You.
  13. Either well played, or this is really unintentionally funny.
  14. I agree. We have a 6 page thread already, we should just post the article and link to it in the other thread. We don't need two.
  15. I'm sure you could be even more condescending and dismissive if you tried, but you did a decent job there. Instead of mindreading the writer's intent and what a poster did or did not observe, you might try giving the benefit of the doubt and sticking to factual responses and asking questions for others to respond to. Your post would have been just as strong and less jerky like so: Ok, but that sort of speaks more to him being in the major leagues at 21 years old then being a swing man his first 3 years in the majors, doesn't it? Until 2021, Corbin Burnes (26 years old) had zero 150 IP seasons in his professional career and had crossed 100 IP only once. Should the Brewers have limited his workload in '21 because of that?
  16. Stop it. Next time it's just getting deleted.
  17. Locking since all the action is in the other thread:
  18. Locking since all the action is in the other thread:
  19. Stop being unnecessarily confrontational and condescending.
  20. Delete the first and last sentence of your post and it still stands. Please stop the condescension.
  21. Perfect, then no need to discuss those points further. But at least everyone can make smug points and feel good about themselves.
  22. Both first and last name wrong - well done.
