    i had forgotten just how bad he was last year, wow
  5. imb
    hard to believe the brewers haven't given up 10 runs already on groundballs up the middle while travis shaw stands there with poop in his pants
  6. imb
    darvish also did well today. 35 "pitches" and his arm didn't even fall off.
  7. imb
    needed some of that kintzler soft contact
  8. imb
    dang i cant believe putting justin wilson in the game backfired.

    russell never learning to hit is so disapponting
  10. imb
    russell fuggen sucks
  11. imb
    lol he's doing this with a 3 percent walk rate, it seems impossible.
  12. imb
    im sure this is fine

    it doesn't have anything to do with the cubs. they're awesome. i put up with a lot of trash to experience this good window and im gonna suck every drop out of it. i just think you have people who react to every brandon kintzler trade by going ELITE SOFT CONTACT THEO DOES IT AGAIN and then scoff at every move the brewers make like they're some foolish band of idiots fumbling around. And what we see is that the brewers are an actual good team who are making incremental improvements and it's not out of the realm of possibility that they're just slightly worse than we are.

    what the point in even talking to you of you're going to willfully miss the point like this. What is the point? Not enjoying our success is how we should behave? lmao come the horsefeathers on

    do you think that their dumb cockiness contributed to the WS wins

    The Cubs are on pace to get as much value from Bryant, Rizzo, and Darvish combined as Bryant provided, and they have the best record in the national league. right, no one is saying the cubs are actually bad or that the brewers are as good as the cubs are now because they traded for jonathan schoop, it's just that the reaction to the brewers moves now is bordering on parody.

    We should trade them kintzler I, too, am looking forward to your Front Page article complaining about our 6th best reliever. Sorry this was a joke about kintzler’s sexy soft contact rate.

    Villar: .304 wOBA this year, .313 career Schoop: .306 wOBA this year, .320 career Trading for Villar for Schoop and moving him to SS is an objective downgrade, not just inefficient. Moustakas can hit better than the Brewers 2B, but Shaw is also high risk for being worse than expected at 2B, they gave up a nontrivial trade asset to make that happen, and there's also not a huge difference in Moustakas's bat and what you'd expect from an amalgamation of existing 2B options(never mind other trade targets). This isn't reflexive hating of a rival here, I'm the guy who was high on the Gerrit Cole deal, for example. That also illustrates that I might be very wrong, it's happened many times. But to me, trading for not good players so you can make your team's one elite strength actively worse is just dumb. And, IF defense downgrades aren't insignificant for a team like Milwaukee. Their starters are in the bottom half of MLB in K% and they have the 8th worse hard contact rate. They need to convert balls in play into outs to keep this up. We should trade them kintzler

    hell yeah the kind of in-depth horsefeathers i like I already gave the in-depth of why it's bad. They went from the 2015 Royals to the 2017 Cardinals. this is so bleacher nationy that im surprised that goober hasn't posted it as a headline yet
  20. imb
    as much as i'd like for brewers players to start dying in car crashes it just hasn't happened yet.

    this type of analysis is sooooooo bad. Whether or not they got Machado has 0 bearing on whether they improved or not, and people keep shifting back and forth between "actually it's bad because their defense got worse actually it's bad because it wasn't the most efficient use of their resources actually it's bad because ummmmmmmmm." It's bad because it's bad. hell yeah the kind of in-depth horsefeathers i like

    Or maybe, and I recognize this is hard to understand when you're still basking in that new middle-reliever glow, but maybe they just wanted to improve their team and it doesn't actually matter how efficiently they did it. I think I've made this clear, I really don't think they made their team any better unfortunately you are wrong, but like i said luckily we have a 100 million or so head start on them so it's probably fine

It's almost like it's bad for a lot of reasons Or maybe, and I recognize this is hard to understand when you're still basking in that new middle-reliever glow, but maybe they just wanted to improve their team and it doesn't actually matter how efficiently they did it.

    which IF do you prefer? Shaw/Arcia/VillarPerez or Moustakas/SchoopArcia/Shaw? Now put yourself in the mindset of a GM who knows the first one isn't good enough to win the division. The one with Manny Machado in it. this type of analysis is sooooooo bad. Whether or not they got Machado has 0 bearing on whether they improved or not, and people keep shifting back and forth between "actually it's bad because their defense got worse actually it's bad because it wasn't the most efficient use of their resources actually it's bad because ummmmmmmmm."
