    Wait, so what is actually happening here. The reporting has been awful. I saw that he has no return timeline, but then I saw him do an interview where he said it was an old fracture and he wasn't going to miss time. This is like schrodinger's broken toe.
  2. thebruce44
    I don't think anyone is suggesting killing him. I just would have him batting 7th or 8th at this point and give him days off against tough pitchers.

    Yelich should hold a roster spot for as long as he can produce within the other 25 guys on the roster. As it stands currently, I get the idea of letting him hit his way out of it, but does he have to bat at the top of the order and play so often when there are better options on both?

    Can anyone remind me what the typical % of Free Agency price the 4,5,6 years are typically at? I seem to remember something like 30/60/80, so while a team is definitely saving money and not having to commit long term, there is still a cost there.

    Brewers prospects must be eating good this year with all the rehab assignments!

    I like to show my kids the walk offs the next day since they like seeing the celebration and Gatorade bath, but don't have the attention span otherwise to watch more than an inning when Bluey could be on instead. I won't show them this one though, because I had to drill it into the 5 year old this last t-ball season to not throw his bat when he swings. Other than that, I don't really care.

    I think we essentially have a soft piggyback system where our depth can be best utilized by having 3 starters in the pen that can frequently throw 2-3 innings. I would also guess that we do openers more often than other teams. That could skew the data assuming it is not somehow factored in to Sveum's data.

    It would seem to be in his best interest to rehab with the Brewers. I hope they can do another 2 year contract with performance escalators for year 2. It actually might work out decently if there is a work stopage next season.

    Devastated. I hope he can take some time to be a father in the short term and remains in the organization long term.

    Kind of crazy to think that Sterns has been so negatively impacted by one player over the past 5 years between the wall punch prior to the playoffs and then giving him way too much money.
  11. thebruce44
    Wasn't it like 100 degrees and humid there? What is he thinking? As for the Seinfeld reference, this is who he reminds me of:
  12. thebruce44
    I feel like that has to be because of infusion of young talent within the season and our tendency to let "established" guys stink it up a bit too long in the first half. This year, I think we will see improvements with the offense and RP, but not as confident on the SP.
  13. thebruce44
    Speculation, got it.
  14. thebruce44
    You say this with a lot of authority. I've seen this argument made online by lots of fans and reporters, but can you find an instance of anyone in the organization actually saying this? Otherwise, its just speculation.
  15. thebruce44
    This just feels like the mother of all bubbles is going to pop after the midterms.
  16. thebruce44
    I'm not sure which side I fall on, but the logic is you are less likely to see hittable pitches with an elite pitcher and there is always the chance you can walk into one. With less changes, a HR has more value than normal against a regular base hit because rallys are unlikely.
  17. thebruce44
    He of course should be looking at the base, but also the sound of the base being compressed should have been able to be heard. Just a bad call all around from a guy who has no business being on the field any more. I didn't realize he hasn't umped since.
  18. thebruce44
    More like Rengtfo, am I right?
  19. thebruce44
    This doesn't seem difficult to me on what is best for the sport without getting into the minutia: 1. Salary cap and floor to mathematically keep overall player compensation consistent. 2. Revenue share so that all teams can hit the floor without losing money while also being incentivized teams and players to stay with their original team. 3. Pay prospects earlier but still reward teams that properly develop talent. I wish the owners and players could agree on these overall goals before getting into detailed proposals. A work stoppage would be bad for both parties.

    I assume it was always the plan to send him back down even if he threw a no hitter through 6.

    If Woody and QP get healthy, I think you have to move one of the young SPs to a high leverage bullpen spot. Its not going to happen, but I'd love to see Sproat come out and throw gas.
  22. thebruce44
    Fair enough response. I am sure if they thought it would give them a competitive advantage (better health) they would do it. Do we know if there are MLB guidelines that they have to follow in this regard? It just seems like we, as fans, are doing a lot of speculating here.
  23. thebruce44
    I'm sorry, but the idea that MA is too cheap to pad the entire wall it a little ridiculous. I don't know all of the reasoning behind it, but it seems pretty common to have a gap in padding at the ground in all ballparks around the league. I assume this is because of rain water / mold and so the grounds crew don't snag the pads when raking the field. With how smart the Brewers org is from top to bottom and always making moves to perform better than the competition, I have to think they are looking anything and everything they can do to keep their players healthy.

    This is an interesting debate, more interesting in my opinion than discussing locking Miz up. I would put Burnes and Sheets above Miz personally in terms of overpowering pitching prospects. Burnes combination of velocity and spin was off the charts. Sheeter had the best hammer curve I've ever seen. Miz can hit 103 and looks relatively low effort in his delivery. His length and leverage gives him velocity, but also can cause control issues if his mechanics get out of sync.
  25. thebruce44
    I'd prefer they target guys like Logan Henderson. With Mis, sadly, I hope we get to enjoy 5 injury free years and I think that's the best we can hope for.
