titans0021 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Pulls starter that has allowed one run after 74 pitchers and then uses Devin Williams and Jay Jackson in the ninth inning of a one-run game. Really good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good stuff. What was up with Schildt using Miller and Martinez in a 10 run game? Would have been sweet justice to see them blow last night's game. But of course he gets away with the idiocy.

beekay414 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Really wonder what we're going to do at C, 3B, 1B and SS next season. Grandal, Thames and Moose are FAs. Arcia's had 3 years of burn at SS and he's looking more and more like he's not the answer. Continually loses playing time to guys like Eric Sogard, Hernan Perez and Tyler Saladino, which tells me we need to address the position, soon. Turang, if he even hits, is so far away that we're looking at platoon or split playing time at SS with Arcia and bargain bin guys like we've been doing until Arcia hits free agency. I'll be pretty disappointed if our opening day starters at C, 1B, SS and 3B are Pina, Braun, Arcia/Perez and Shaw but it's what I fully expect.

beekay414 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I know it's always revisionist history but, and I'm not going to go on any huge stretches here either where I take someone that went like 5 rounds later or something, we've missed so much on draft picks lately, it's killing us. First two or three picks only (depends on competitive balance picks). 20181st RoundTook: Brice Turang, SS, Santiago HS (CA)Should've Taken: Nico Hoerner, SS, StanfordWhy: When the position is hurting and you're in a "win now" window, I feel like you take the more advanced bat here. Neither have hit for much power but Hoerner definitely has more room to grow in that department than Turang. That and I absolutely hate Turang's slap hitting approach. Both are questionable fits at SS long term so it's not like that was a deciding factor. Hoerner's definitely the better athlete. I get that Turang was the guy for a long time in the 2018 draft and we were fine with it but, looking at the position on the big league club, I would've rather gone with the guy that can get through the system faster. 2nd RoundTook: Joe Gray, OF, Hattiesburg HS (MS)Should've Taken: Alek Thomas, OF, Mount Carmel HS (IL)Why: Thomas had an advanced bat for his age despite being a cold weather guy and Joe Gray was your typical "45 grade" bat that the Brewers like that they can't develop for ****. They went with the "safe" HS bat in round one with Turang but then took the questionable hit tool athlete in the 2nd? Make up your damn minds. Thomas is friggin' raking and Joe Gray can't even hit .190. Thomas was also the more highly thought of prospect and both went for similar money so that also wasn't an issue. Just a complete miss by the Brewers. 20171st RoundTook: Keston Hiura, 2B, UC-IrvineShould've Taken: Keston Hiura, 2B, UC-IrvineWhy: This is the one pick we've absolutely nailed in recent years. Kid is a franchise bat already. Lottery RoundTook: Tristen Lutz, OF, Martin HS (TX)Should've Taken: Tristen Lutz, OF, Martin HS (TX)Why: I could've said Drew Waters due to the prospect pedigree but Lutz was the right pick at the time. 2nd RoundTook: Caden Lemons, RHP, Vestavia Hills HS (CA)Should've Taken: Griffin Canning, RHP, UCLAWhy: It definitely wasn't a slot reason, as we paid Lemons more than Canning got from the Angels. Canning was vastly more well thought of and was an advanced arm at the time (much like Burnes and Small). He fit right in with what we had been doing with our pitching and we decided to go with the projectable HS arm instead. Could really use Canning right now. 20161st RoundTook: Corey Ray, OF, LouisvilleShould've Taken: AJ Puk, LHP, FloridaWhy: Do I even need to explain this one? NONE of us wanted Ray and a ******* ace prospect fell in our laps and we went with friggin' OF that can't hit Wright State pitching, let alone MLB pitching. This pick just pisses me off to no end. 2nd RoundTook: Lucas Erceg, 3B, Menlo CollegeShould've Taken: Nolan Jones, 3B, Holy Ghost Prep (PA) - Overslot | Sheldon Neuse, 3B, Oklahoma - slot/underslotWhy: Jones was highly regarded and is a OBP monster. We only went overslot for Payton Henry in the first 10 rounds and we gave Chad McClanahan over $1 Million afterwards. That money could've went directly to Jones instead as the slot value was $1.386 Million and Jones signed with Cleveland for $2.25 Million. If we wanted to stay underslot or at slot, we could've went with Sheldon Neuse. I'm sure Erceg got the edge because of his fielding and being a LH bat but Neuse can hit and Erceg has posted a 68 wRC+ in AAA this season.

beekay414 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Really hope we bottom out to get a better draft pick otherwise this season was just a complete and utter waste. Edited August 30, 2019 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
