Oso planning to go pro
The rebuild? This is what the Brewers are going to be. They are going to be competitive and hope to snag a Wild Card spot or a division title and see what happens.There may be a time and a place to trade Yelich, but its not now.
They're a team that will always be built cheap and around prospects. Burness is super gone the moment he can get out of town, and Yelich is an expensive asset that hasn't lived up to his contract.They'd just be doing their due diligence by off loading them while loading up on players with potential and small contracts.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
It’s been a fun debut for Frelick
Not saying anyone here, but I'm always perplexed when fans of a legitimate playoff contender wants their team to be sellers at the deadline.
When White Sox pitchers strike out 14 or more batters in a game this season, their record is now 0-10.
Rizzo with first HR since May 20. Wow.
100% agree. I’m not very optimistic about the Brewers chances either, especially all their injuries. But sellers for a team in first who just went 5-1 against your primary division contender?! Plus, baseball postseason recently has produced teams that get hot at the right time and do something special even though regular seasons looked nothing special and they weren’t in the conversation of best teams on paper. Recent championships for the Braves and Nationals showed that. I’m not at all predicting that’s going to be this year’s Brewers, but let’s see what might happen. This is a team in its 54th season with one World Series appearance and zero titles.
Not to mention they have one more year of Burnes under their control. They can see what happens in the off-season or just go into next year with him and see what transpires.
The Rays have lost 14 of 18 in July and have losing streaks of 7 and 5 games this month...yet they still have the 3rd best record in baseball and are 2 games behind Baltimore for best record in the AL. Puts into perspective what an INSANE start to the year they had.
I'm fine keeping Burnes if Mark decides that he's gonna actually allow Arnold to go get some dudes. If not, they're capped at winning a bad division.
It kind of feels that is their strategy. Be just good enough to win a bad division and hope to get hot in the playoffs.
