Former Brewers in Playoffs

In my opinion I think it is because they get away from a culture of losing that surrounds the Brewers.  I also am so tired of it I could scream..

You could build an All Star playoff team with former Brewers- Yo, Zach, Prince, Marco, Cain, Escobar, etc.

It strikes me as odd that I even need to respond to this but...

 

1. Does the Crew even make the NLCS without the Zack trade?

2. Did they even have a chance to sign Prince?

3. Congrats to Marco on a nice year but can one be upset with that trade with Lind's production?

4. The GoGo deal is still TBD but all reports so far are the Crew got a really nice haul for him.

5. The Yo deal I will give to the negative nellies but the jury is still out on that one, IMO.

 

The Crew is ready for a rebuild and to rebuild you need to dump salary and veterans.

 

Also, shouldn't we also be screaming about Yost being in the dugout?

Yo has come up a lot.  A lot of people wanted to trade him in the last year of his contract.  A lot of people felt he was not an ace, not even that great of a pitcher.  

 

Now I hear that Yo had some kind of Renaissance in Texas, to be honest, I don't see any different a pitcher than what we had the last few years.  

 

 

This is a stupid topic. Either couldn't afford them or were used as pieces in deals. That's baseball.

It is apparently easy to forget that Greinke and Fielder alone signed contracts totaling $361M. Cain and Escobar brought Greinke here. Estrada? We're pining for Estrada now? Gomez is going to be a 9 figure player- Scott Boras is his agent.

In some ways I'm happy for Gallardo. Solid guy, loved him in MKE. Who knows, maybe he'll be back? Meanwhile, the Brewers have re-loaded the farm and have a top pick coming to hopefully catapult a team that needed an overhaul. Better than the team having $450M in albatross deals burying the franchise for the next 20 years.

Still love the big fella.

Oh Carlos... 

Not signing Greinke and Prince was the right move.   And yes, you have to give something to get something

I just find it funny and ironic that our former pitchers - just about across the board- have had greater success after leaving the Brewers.  Speaks volumes to the suck age this team has had developing and coaching their guys

Hopefully that will change

Greater success or pitched better?

Listening to Pedro Martinez talking about pitchers dropping down to 3/4 vs 12/6 and splitting fingers slightly on 2 seamers and what it does to a baseball vs what batters see is fascinating. I could listen to him talk about getting batters out for hours. 

Pedro analyzing the games has been awesome.  He's just really, really baseball smart and a joy to listen to.  He always completely cancels out the "dumb" that is Dusty Baker.

You do realize you are contradicting yourself by commenting on developing pitchers and celebrating former pitchers success the season after they left.

 

Marco was a scrap heap pickup who the Crew 'developed' into a middle/end rotation guy and turned into a very productive 1B. Yo is pitching at his career numbers. If you don;t believe that, just google it.

 

I also will note the pitcher going to the another league after year in the other often have some immediate success.

The goddamned Cubs are gonna win the World Series.

 

I hate everything.
