I believe that bullied any thoughts of Rivas trying to pitch ever again.
-
I take it back. That's a high cost for rentals. Hope it helps us beat the Dodgers.
-
On first glance, I like it. Depends on what the cost is. But pitching is going to be needed come playoff time.

Trade Deadline Ideas Thread
craigharmann replied to wallus's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Always need a bat. Always. -
Fair point. I want to be optimistic, but I think in the end, the almighty dollar and the bottom line wins out.
-
THAT was what did it? Not the Dodgers signing Ohtani, Tucker, so on and so forth? Not the lack of a salary cap or floor? Not the stupid blackout restrictions that make zero sense whatsoever? I mean, the answer to the question of this post is that the response needs to be on the field. Win. Take down the Dodgers. It is absolutely possible.

Definitely a far cry from Lou Palsmo making all of our WOAHS SOLVDD

It's a return on investment for those of us who suffered through the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Now, it's just a matter going to win the whole damn thing.

That's why Skubal "only" got $32 million in arbitration, not the $19 million Detroit wanted to pay, or the $500 billion that LA or some other team would offer to pay to Skubal's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren. I'm half joking.

100% this. I'm not expecting any baseball to be played in 2027. I hate it, but I've made peace with it. It's more a matter of what does baseball in 2028 (if that ends up happening) looks like moving forward.

Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros

Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros
craigharmann replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Signed him to a 5/85 extension and received 32 starts. Two completely lost seasons. They are trying to get out of the contract early so that there's a little more financial flexibility. That's 98% of this trade. -
Brewers Acquire Lance McCullers Jr. From Astros
craigharmann replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is a very interesting deal. Gordon is definitely a AAAA guy. Lance has tried to gut it out, but I think time has caught up to him. I've seen it up close living in Houston. I'm hoping for his sake, the Brewers get him another WS ring. It's an absolute salary dump for the Astros, but I'm not sure what it is on the Brewers end. I guess a lottery ticket hoping he'll catch lightning in a bottle. -
Go Jays! That's all I've got. I haven't watched a second since the Brewers lost, and I'm OK with that. I just want the Dodgers to lose.

While this isn’t the outcome we wanted, there is a lot of reason for hope and optimism. There’s a lot of talent in the pipeline. A few moves here and there to shore up spots will definitely help and the experience and mostly importantly, the feelings in this series of just being manhandled will sit with these guys. And hopefully that’s the indelible memory that sticks with them through their offseason workouts, helping them grind and improve. This is not the teams like I watched in middle and high school where there was Yount at the end of his career an a bunch of other guys. This team has a chance to do something special for multiple years, depending on development, financial decisions and health. It’s a good time to be a Brewer fan!

I saw winning seasons earlier in my life, as I was a very young fan in the early 80’s. But I lived through the mid 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.
-
We’re in the playoffs. One of the last 4 team still playing. I’d rather have this than what we experienced in 2002. Just saying.
-
Truth
-
At least defense is still good.
-
I would too, with the caveat of being a bit competitive in getting swept by the Dodgers. This hasn’t been.
-
Gotcha.
-
Oh, I know that. But as the pressure tightens, because the game is getting closer to the end, it’s more than likely going to be a more undisciplined approach.
-
I have a feeling as the innings go by, we’re going to see more at bats like that. Trying to hit a 5 run HR and swinging at everything.
-
We won’t be winning it. I’m not rooting for it. I’m facing reality. After tonight, I won’t be watching baseball anymore until the spring.
-
I know.
