2019-06-05: Marlins (Alcántara) at Brewers (Nelson) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 8-3 -- The return of Jimmy Nelson spoiled by the Marlins]

[shanedog19]

I’m going to chalk this series up to bad juju from sending Hiura down.

[Brew crew 92]

Way to go Stearns..letting Kimbrel go to your biggest rival. You absolutely CANNOT let that happen. If the Cubs win the division it's on DS. I thought they were "going for it" this year?? Guess not...

 

It’s not Stearns, it’s attanasio, not wanting the payroll to reach a certain point. The Brewers want us to think we’re still small market, revenue wise, even though we’re closer to the average mid-market than small market. They have haudricourt & most of brewerfan thinking they can only do a payroll of 125-135 million, when in reality with there playoffs last year they could of done much more this year, and more next year and even more the following year. Of course that’s just my opinion, but it’s based on tons of thought and analysis.

 

Now back to the game.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Deja vu ... or beating a dead horse. Can't decide.

[folly412]

3 years 45 million for Kimbrel

 

Never gong to be a wise use of resources for us to do that

 

Yep. No way you outbid that for a reliever.

 

The word that Keuchel is likely going to have to bite on a one year at $18M pro-rated intrigues me more. Still, expensive roll of the dice for a guy who sat out this long.

[markedman5]

As bad as the pitching and defense was the last 2 games you aren't going to win when you score 1 run in 2 games either.

 

It's a long season.....going to be bad stretches but man these were 2 ugly games......

 

Brewers were a 270 favorite tonight....lol

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Silver lining tonight with Albers. He's really pitched quite well lately ... actually for a large chunk of the season. ERA down under 4 now, and averaging more than 1 K per inning. Pitching himself back into a prime set-up role. Really nice to see.

Guerra on the other hand......

If I'm the Cubs, I'm happy to punt this season's production in order to have the best closer in baseball for 2020 and 2021.

 

The Crew just could not swing that. Unless you want to pass on keeping Grandal for those two years...

[markedman5]

24 runs in 2 games.......pathetic

[MrTPlush]

The only thing that could make this night worse is the Cubs making a move to make their team better.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

24 runs in 2 games.......pathetic

 

Not as pathetic as scoring one run of offense in two games I'm afraid. Just a wet fart all around.

[markedman5]

We now have a negative run differential,on the year.......we have played mediocre baseball ......lucky to be where we are really.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Yay ... another potential appearance from 'ole Rubber Arm Alex.

Not gonna happen, we can be intrigued all we want, it should happen if Keuchel wants to come here, but Na, we’re the sisters of the poor.

 

He’s been throwing simulated games of 100 pitches, probably ready with 2 minor league starts.

Getting behind by 4 runs early really takes the starch out of a team and having the other team add on almost every inning completely kills them.

 

The Brewers would probably be better off forfeiting tomorrow and taking a day of rest. They aren’t likely to do better than the 9-0 forfeit score with First Inning Freddy and the Gas Can Five on the mound.

[Baldkin]

24 runs in 2 games.......pathetic

 

One run in 16 innings. One.

[BruisedCrew]

I said yesterday that I would be disappointed if the Brewers didn’t win at least 4 games on this homestand. Now I feel like they’ll be lucky to win 2.

[markedman5]

Cubs total revenue last season.....458 million

 

Brewers 288 million

 

As had the lowest revenue at 218 M

 

Yankees highest 668 million

 

We are much closer to,the bottom then we are to the Cubs.......

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ryan Braun is not the player he once was, but man that swing is still beautiful.

Now back to the game.

 

You seem to think you are a Harvard grad and the worlds expert on baseball financials.

 

When in reality this entire forums knowledge put together would be about a penny compared to a million dollars. Anyone here can pretend to think they now a sliver about who can afford what and how this effects that...but really we know nothing.

 

If you ever write a paper on all those thoughts and analysis you have done I’d like to see it. Because whatever it is never seems to make it into your posts. And I’m serious...cause it would be interesting if all that analysis on why we can afford tens of million more a year actually exists. Cause no one else on this planet seems to think that way. Cause I don’t understand how an average joe could know so much about financials no one outside an organization knows.

Oh come on ... you know that if you repeat the the same idea over and over enough times, it becomes fact!

Speaking for your self? I remember a post you made back early this year we’re you said the brewers could do a payroll of 140 million no problem, that it was nothing, and your sick of people thinking that our payroll was so much, what happened?

You know what everyone else on the planet thinks?

[adambr2]

We had a +18 run differential. The Marlins came to Miller Park and we now have a negative run differential.

Hernan wasn't available to go back to back nights?
