It's already been two days, but it appears at least some Milwaukee Brewers fans still have a severe case of the Tarik Skubal blues.
Though Brewers general manager Matt Arnold added to his stable of power arms by acquiring starting pitcher Dustin May and relievers Jojo Romero and Antonio Sanzatela, many so-called armchair experts that float in and out of cyberspace appear unimpressed.
For weeks Brewers nation has patiently listened to baseball insiders project that the Brewers would be aggressive and use the depth of their top tier minor-league system to make a "going-for-it" move that would challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League in October.
But the Dodgers landed Skubal for the price of three promising minor leaguers and the Brewers pivoted to adding three-hard-throwing veterans to their roster. But many social media posters didn't change direction with them.
Perhaps the memory of an underwhelming deadline day last season still lingers. The Brewers had the league's best record when they traded for pitchers Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery and outfielder Brandon Lockridge.
