Open discussion about the future of the BF forums

Bring back Lou Palsmo and Bill Hall!! That will get the discussion going! -
Don't know why I remember it, but Blake Lalli was a catcher.
-
I hope so!
-
Really? I live in Houston and that narrative is so stupid.
-
Man. That was a total surprise out of left field. I would have figured, as most, it was either go to the Mets or stay in Milwaukee. But the Cubs? Wow. It sucks. Congrats Craig for getting paid. Can't argue with that. But the Cubs? Really? It would be like Rodgers decided he didn't want to play for the Pack anymore, and instead of wanting a trade to the Jets, he wanted a trade to the Bears. For Counsell, it makes sense. The Cubs have a lot of talent, an owner willing to spend, and seem to be on the up and up. But it's a gut punch, no doubt.

I think that his original anger/confusion was probably misplaced and there was miscommunication. But, as I said before, I don’t remember a team letting go of a player almost immediately after having Tommy John. The optics of it are bad.
-
Bingo!
-
Seriously? There’s cut throat, and there’s actually doing the right thing by people. When has another player, whether they’re in the team’s plans or not, EVER been cut because they needed Tommy John surgery? I can’t think of a time.
-
The option is there to put him on the 60 day IL, right? Not just outright release him. I can’t think of a pitcher that needed TJ surgery that was outright released because of it. I’m in Houston, and a few years ago, the Astros traded for Aaron Sanchez. He pitched 2 games (I think) and had arm issues and couldn’t pitch the rest of the year. The Astros didn’t release him, just kept him on the 60 day IL and he left in free agency. Again, it’s totally within the Brewers’ rights to do it, but it doesn’t seem like the ethical or correct thing to do when it comes to how you treat people.
-
I just don’t get it. Is what they did within the bounds of the rules? Sure. But the optics of it are extremely sketchy.
-
The timing of this is…..interesting. https://twitter.com/Luke_Barker17/status/1555407086040731648
-
Being kind, I’ll say a D. Rosenthal hasn’t pitched this season and will…sometime. Rogers is a downgrade from Hader and the return for Hader was…not great.
-
But then why not DFA him immediately.?
-
That makes no sense whatsoever.
-
Well yes. Any trade possibly helps and improves a team. It’s not a 100% guarantee. But, that coupled with the news that there were talks of trading Wong and Narvaez makes me question if trying to get to the World Series is the goal for this year or 3 years from now.
-
Today? On the field? To get to the World Series? Is Rogers a better closer than Hader? I don’t think so. So, no.
-
Only hit well when he was taking PEDs.....which he was suspended for. He can stay in Oakland.

Fair point.
-
The Rays have DFA’d good old Maverick. Would he be worth taking a flyer on?
-
Then….wouldn’t you want to…..improve?
-
Seems like it.
-
What. The. Heck. I don’t get this. And I saw a tweet (Rosenthal, I think) that Wong and Narvaez were also available. We’re in 1st place in the division. Shouldn’t we be ADDING pieces, not getting rid of them?
-
Absolutely. I was in the Rob Deer fan club and that took my Deer love to another level!
-
I was 9 years old, we listened to it on the radio, and I clearly remember this game. It was the last game I got to listen to with my grandfather as he passed away on June 1st of 1987. This is a fun watch. https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-1987-easter-win-footage
