No one is saying it needs to be permanent, but he has not been good for a couple of weeks now and no lead is safe with him in the 9th inning at present time. Until he gets it together just use Williams to close games, the point of playing is to win the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Yep, y'all enjoy the rest of this season. I won't be tuning in for another baseball game after that gong show by the umps. No wonder the sport is dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 We've taken three bats so far...they are all MIF, contact over power types. We haven't drafted a power bat, in the 1st round (comp balance or otherwise) since Lutz. It's overcompensating for our inability to develop hitting. At some point we need to put our balls on the table and take some upside here. You can't have system that has nothing but contact hitters. Eric Brown is the "largest" of the bunch at 5'10" 190. Robert Moore is 5'9" 170 and Dylan O'Rea, who nobody had in their scouting rankings, is 5'9" 160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Nothing really seems innovative or exciting about the Stearns/Counsell combo anymore like it did years ago. The drafting is boring, the on field product is boring. Just not much other than it being the dead of summer to get me to tune in to games.

Got their #8 and #9 prospect, their closer who just lost his job and will be a free agent and the never healthy Lamet. I mean the Cubs got the Yankees #4 prospect for a RP with way less accolades/talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely follow the team on a daily basis. How often do we have starters going eight innings? The downgrade isn’t from Hader to Williams, the downgrade is from Hader to whoever we’re going to ask to give us three of the final nine outs in his place.

I get that and a key will be Rogers as a setup guy, if he is effective in that role this is not as big of a lose as some will make it out to be. Good chance the Brewers are better in the long run with this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
