    Well it didn't work last deadline when they missed the playoffs. A lot of the things they have done with the information we have are at best odd moves and at worst really dumb moves. you mean blowing like a 7 game lead and missing the playoffs wasn't their goal last year? which moves made by the brewers do you disagree with and why?
  2. imb
    it gets the same "ahahah wow galaxy brain" jokes that all their other moves do, but nothing substantive. Everything the brewers have done since what, last trade deadline, get a bunch of "this won't work" jokes that everyone pretends counts as analysis. "Travis Shaw can't play second base he's 240 pounds! Wow Moustakas at third? Guess their pitching won't be good anymore." That's not analysis, it's wish-casting. are you just mad that they're the ones making fun of stuff without posting anything of substance and not you this time?

    You and Duke are hilarious. Shaw is plus at 3B, obv too soon to tell at 2B but the Brewers value defense and appear to not be a dumb FO so there's at least some faith he can pass there. Moustakas has been a plus 3B this year and every year except last. Schoop is going to be not good at SS but the bat is heating up and if the point is to improve as a whole, the Brewers did that. Hopefully as a small market team they pull a Pirates and they have a brief window that snaps shut very suddenly, but the nonstop jokes at their expense is hilariously transparent from both of you.

    I'll take that bet that Smyly is even remotely passable in his first couple months back from TJ. Reminder: he hasn't pitched in 1 2/3 seasons. Is there even any real indication he's going to throw an inning for us this year? Pretty sure he's going on a rehab assignment soon. He's done 1, if not 2, sim games in the last weekish. Again, he hasn't pitched since 2016. Even if he goes on the rehab assignment in a week, you don't miss almost two full seasons, go throw 20 innings in A ball and then come up in a pennant race and help/make a playoff roster. The smyly signing was good, but for reasons beyond 2018.

    I'm okay with we did, would've been nice to do more but think we made some solid moves. Smyly could be back soon too and always was kinda like a deadline addition we bought in the winter.

    I know we're kinda locked in to the roster we have but yeeeeeeesh, it has not been a good year of transactions for Theo and Co.

    "Doolittle" is Theo's take on the trade deadline ok folks that's my good tweet for the day see you at 3 pm

    Lotta people liked Donaldson's bat even when he was catching actually, just didn't seem to have a position and wouldn't find one until his mid-20s. --- Tim Hudson for pitchers? 35th round pick, shorter RHSP... tim hudson seems like exactly the kinda pitcher you would obsess over and drive everyone nuts about
  11. imb
    good save

    david bote

    man by fwar hammels would be like our third best starter this year
  14. imb
    We're supposed to be running away with the division with all the talent advantage we have but largely thanks to the chess moves everyone loves to mock Stearns ran circles around us with their moves this winter. Between just Cain, Yelich, and Chacin they got 10x the war we have from our haul. It's a good thing you can field a roster with more than one off-season's transactions. sure is because otherwise we'd be like 10 games back

    They're playing a 6'4" 230-pounder at second tonight and he's never played second base in a game in his life. they seem to be a pretty shrewd FO so I guess i give them the benefit of the doubt that he won't be a tire fire there. and even if he is ... all they've gotten out of the position this year is a literal tire fire so it's fine.

    maybe we should chill on dunking on the brewers for making incremental improvements while our apparent trade deadline effort consists of bolstering a rotation of 5 ERA morons by adding 6 ERA moron cole hamels.
  17. imb
    The players are ... jumping around like delirious school children
