[adambr2]

I miss G.O.A.T Yelich. Haven't seen a ton of him the last couple weeks.

[adambr2]

0 for 7.

[Brewcrewin07]

Can’t wait to blow this absolute gift.

 

Thankfully our amazing lead off hitter is up.

You have a young player/prospect fetish...you really do. My advice?? Seek the necessary help.

[Bulldogboy]

Mortal Yelich is death to this lineup.

Yeah. We only saw him for about the 12 months previous.

I mean to be fair, you have the total opposite fetish for all things veterans and big name players.

I am beginning to think it was unwise for the Brewers to not trade for Trout at the deadline.

I would have gladly given up Grisham and Turang. Even Zack Brown if the Angels picked up half his salary.

Corey Ray's trade value is still good, right?

Better than your weird low payroll team big name pitcher acquisition at all costs scheme.

Maybe him instead of Grisham? Probably gotta throw in Drew Rasmussen then though to land that Trout.

Any idea why that is?? They are proven...Let's put it this way...if someone offered you a million dollars guaranteed, or a CHANCE to make two million in two years..Which one you taking?? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I mean...he ain’t really wrong. Think I will take Cain vs. a LHP pitcher though.

[willie key]

As soon as Grisham plays 30 games, brew crew will want to trade him in for a younger model

Sorry, that analogy doesn't work at all.

 

It has to be a balance. Your "proven > prospects everytime" method isn't always the right way either. I still remember people in 2016 literally saying we couldn't trade Braun for just Cody Bellinger, because Braun was proven and Bellinger was just a prospect. Just imagine how that would have worked out now.

 

The thing is, just because a guy is "proven" doesn't guarantee future performance, even over a prospect. Albert Pujols was "proven" at one time, as well. Guys age, things change. Sometimes, many times, the unproven prospect will outproduce the "proven" veteran in future performance.

 

Not only that, but there are so many variables at play -- club control, positional considerations, trade value, budget constraints, etc. for any of it ever to just neatly fit in a box that proven players are the way to go and prospects are just prospects.

[jason21nl]

I'm glad BA just corrected himself. Perez hasn't pitched well. Brewers have let him off the hook.

[Eye Black]

I mean...he ain’t really wrong. Think I will take Cain vs. a LHP pitcher though.

I would have agreed last year, but coming into tonight Cain had a .309 OBP against LHPs this year (139 plate appearances).

 

Ben Gamel has a .448 OBP versus LHP this year (58 plate appearances) and Grisham had pretty even lefty/righty splits in the minors.

[adambr2]

Nothing to see here, folks. We hit LHP just fine.

[willie key]

This pitcher is god awful and we can’t score unless it’s a gift.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Moose is doing a great job lately of dropping his price into the Brewers' 2020 budget. Grandal too.

[markedman5]

Man our offense is hard to watch.

 

Chase gives up more then 2 rubs for the first time in 2 months and we can't score more then 1 unearned run against this loser?

[Bulldogboy]

Is this a good thing?

[willie key]

So where is the demarcation when this team goes from bad to really bad

 

It’s got to be getting close

Moose is better then Shaw. Even when he’s crap like this
