Everything else is a waste of time baby. /kl2 Also billy beane. And remember when everybody makes fun of the Lions playoff appearance banners? You're cool with it. As long as they try hard it's cool whatever else happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's many summers of fun competitive baseball. And? I don't care about summers of competitive baseball. Winning 90 and making the playoffs isn't the goal. If the brewers win the world series great then I'll try to replicate them and what they tell fans. Until then it's just talk.

kdog Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 What is the goal if isn't winning 90 games? Playoff results are small sample size flukes in a lot of cases. The best team doesn't win. If you get into the playoffs enough times, you'll eventually break through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we've been over this 100 times. You think just being .500 is great and thats enough. I play for titles. I was merely pointing out the guy praising the brewers has won exactly as much as our crap tacular organization. ) I have enjoyed many if not most of the last 38 seasons including some of the seasons where they had little chance to win but had some interesting players to follow. My hyperbole was in response to your hyperbole that the Brewers should not be praised for having a good organization the last few years because they haven't won any championships. I think that's ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were some way it was actually conceivable to build build a 90+ win team and then tweak it in any such manner that would materially change its probability of winning the WS it wouldn't be, but there isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I find it odd that they DFA Derek Hill the same day they trade Robbie Grossman. Does that mean Kerry Carpenter is going onto the roster? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I think there’s a better chance we just got nothing for Robbie Grossman then we got something for Robbie Grossman. At least it’s marginally better than DFAing him. Edited August 2, 2022 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 6 years of control over a 21 year old pitcher for Grossman is the best outcome they could hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
