Brewers (Peralta) vs Yankees (Rodon): 3/27/25, 2:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Opening Day!

[Brian]

Play ball!

Bronx Weather: Thursday
Partly cloudy with winds around 20mph.

High 52. 

 

[Frisbee Slider]

This is terrible karma but wouldn’t you rather have the Brewers lineup than the Yankees lineup today?

[Brian]

I completely forgot Paul Goldschmidt is a Yankee now. 

[Frisbee Slider]

Do we expect Paul Goldschmidt will have a meaningful improvement in his age 37 season?

I was surprised to see his 1.3 wins above replacement level last year. It sure felt like less.

[Frisbee Slider]

Unrelated note: Anthony Rizzo is still unsigned. Rizzo produced a .735 OPS during his four year stint in New York. 
 

it rarely makes sense to want to sign a player for their entire career. The Cubs exited at the right time.

If 2025 spring training counts for anything he did hit .308.

I think he's cooked.

It's Christmas morning!

One of my priority wishes for this year is less nibbling from Freddy, more strikes, and pitch counts that aren't balooning out control by the 4th inning.

I think its because if he gets to aggressive against hitters he would be in big trouble sooner rather than later.  He is no where near as dominant as he was 4 years ago. 

On the plus side he is never on the IL.

With 4 LH hitters against a LHP, including Frelick batting fifth, I’d have to say no.

I mean to say the talent of our lineup might exceed the aggregate talent of today’s Yankees lineup.

Win it for Ueck.
