I get the feeling that Grandal is making more future money with every Freitas AB.

I'm just stunned that a 30 year old journeymen, quad a catcher is not suddenly a superstar. Stunned I tell you.

 

He just needs more opportunities!

I mean this Suter dominance has to end at some point but my goodness is it a fun ride to be on for now.

 

It will end at some point due to him missing a spot on a pitch but Suter has a lot of deception to the way he pitches and it wouldn't surprise me if he continues to dominate. Suter is the best pitcher on the Brewers staff in hiding the ball when he pitches and this adds some perceived MPH to his pitches to the batter.

I didn't see that it hit him........it may have but if you can't see it clearly they aren't going to give it to you.

 

It pretty clearly changed trajectory after it passed his leg.

 

I mean I guess I could kind of sort of understand if it's the 1st inning but it's also the 6th and you're 1+ innings from being able to look at anything anyway. Just doesn't make sense not to challenge.

I mean he's more then dominating.....he's going to give up some runs soon I would think.....it's. Just not sustainable to be perfect every time out.

I didn't think it was conclusive and would have bet that hey would have lost the challenge.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

Brewers will have $2.7 zillion in profits next year, they can afford both.

Even if they did, so what?

 

It's the 6th inning and after the 7th you can have anything looked at anyway. The odds of needing a challenge in the 7th even if you lose are minimal, you have likely nothing to lose.

I mean, I wasn't commenting from a strategic perspective. Just in a vacuum I didn't think it was conclusive.

Why bother, we will have the best bullpen of all time, the most glorious starting rotation as well.

 

Getting good hitters just won't be fair to the rest of the league, plus we have the best superstar catcher in Freitas, so there is no need to re-sign Grandal.
