Brewers are not to be taken seriously according to Counsel's Hiura explanation so I am no longer bothered realizing they are going nowhere.

I must have missed this ... what did Counsell say about Hiura?

 

When asked about Hiura he responded by talking about Shaw and Aguilar and how they need to get going. (Only Aguilar isn't even starting vs lefties anymore.) He was pretty diplomatic and it was basically a non answer as expected.

There's nothing wrong with wanting Miley back, but we don't know for certain that he preferred to return here to work with a rookie pitching coach over going to Houston.

 

I have been very critical of Stearns lately, but I think he's done a heck of a good job in free agency. We can only work within the confines of what we can spend, so he has to pick and choose his spots. Can you think of any major misses he has had in free agency at great financial cost? Because I can think of many that others have had (Darvish, Chatwood, Cozart, Cobb) just to name a few, that would have crippled our ability to do more now. Other teams will sign players who will end up doing well there, just the way it is.

 

I see so much revisionist history lately especially on Burnes and Peralta. Very few people weren't excited about them pitching for our rotation this year. We need to look deeper as to why it hasn't worked out, but now that it hasn't, people saying "Well of COURSE we couldn't trust them" after being excited about it coming into the year is a bit of an eye roller (and yes I know that doesn't apply to everyone.

 

I honestly wasn't excited about it...I had a feeling trying them as starters was not going to be successful. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So many people try to though, and it almost always fails.

 

Yep... one game away from the World Series last year. Shouldn't have made drastic changes other than signing improvements (like Grandal). Add on injuries to the bullpen, drastic underperformers at offensive positions, and management that doesn't make adjustments (like bringing Hiura back), and we sit here losing almost every series. So frustrating.

Follows the standard game: Down early, starter exits early, offense can't get the big hit with multiple runners on, combination of Yelich/Moose/Grandal hits solo home run, get within a few runs so you think there's still a chance, lose by 2-3 runs.

He basically said we have 2 guys that helped us win a lot of games the last 2 years.....1 was an all star and 1 has hit over 30 homers twice.....we want them to succeed.....we need them.....but they have to produce......if they don't then changes will be made.

 

Not sure why anyone would have a problem with what he said......

OK, the inside-the-park HR is non-standard...

OK, thank you for the explanation/translation of Counsell's comments on Hiura -- not alarming, but not very encouraging!

 

I want Ozzie Guillen as manager -- he would force David Stearns' hand on this. Ozzie would not mess around--he would say, "Gimme' de best players, mon!"
