    Fixed for you.

    The concern over Murphy's in game management is really odd to me. The Brewers obviously protect their IP in terms of competitive advantages, but I think we would all agree that 1- The various departments within the Brewers organization operate as one 2- they make decisions based on the data that they believe in. The idea that Murph is out there playing favorites or that he is completely in control making poor decisions on his own can't possibly be true. Why invest all the money and effort into the Pitching Lab if the manager is just going to manage old school by his gut? Rather, they obviously have data and a plan, which has proven out in the past, and I think the org has earned the benefit of the doubt that they probably know what they are doing over us posters here.

    I'm targeting a 2020-2023 VW ID.4 and I'm seeing them for around $16-$20k. I don't like VWs but that is an incredible value for a car that seems to be very functional outside of the horrible AV system (which I can live with).

    Sorry, I'm not following this. Are you not accounting for solar/wind/hydro/fission?

    This is probably the only book I've read in the last 10 years (well, I listened to the Audiobook, but still). Can't wait to see it and glad the reviews have been so positive.

    Stop the count!

    I'm late to the party after watching the game delayed on the west coast, but going to go back and read the game thread during the Willson Contreras shenanigans in the 3rd. I'm not a lip reader, but I love that they caught Pat Murphy in the dugout saying "f**kin* pu***" after the HBP that barely caught his hand. I'm actually a bit surprised things didn't get more heated after the spikes-up slide on Hamilton. I wouldn't have minded seeing some of the Brewers get more upset there, but I'm guessing William Contreras has enough of the locker room that they laugh it off, and Hamilton knows his old teammates well enough to know Willson is just being stupid and to let it go. Still, how did that not piss them off more?

    My biggest hope to come out of the lockout is that any team can actually afford to keep generational talents for their careers if both sides are interested. How different would football look if Jordan Love or Rodgers went to the Giants after their rookie deals? The NBA wouldn't even be watchable for Bucks fans if we had to count down the days until Giannis would move to a larger market. Its really bad for baseball that Pitt fans know Skenes will be a Dodger or Met in a couple years. Hopefully that changes as I'd love to see a big 3 of Turang, Churio, and Made spend their entire careers in Milwaukee (realizing there are quite a few parallels to Yount, Molitor (who obviously didn't stay), and Gantner).

    And Joey Weimer is on pace for 24 WAR, as we all expected!

    This isn't The Real Housewives of Milwaukee. These guys know how the business works, especially with respect to Arby negotiations for Contreras. If anything, I'd think they are excited for Pratt.

    Honestly, this is a better time for this to happen if Mitchell can stay healthy until he gets back.
  12. thebruce44
    The last 2 MVPs the team built around have gone onto *checks notes* 1- fail a drug test and 2- back and knee injuries. Yeah, not lucky.
  13. thebruce44
    With the way Bauers finished the season last year, I think he gets a pretty long leash to be a regular in the lineup.
  14. thebruce44
    I don't see the need to build the order around Yelich anymore. I would consider batting Turang or Chourio in the 3rd spot. Everyone on the team is fast, so get your best hitters as many ABs as possible at the top of the order.
  15. thebruce44
    He was the first time I learned about pitchers who are "effectively wild." He would probably do well with the current team's defense. Only other comment I have is that I'm sad to see no mention of Yoho, but also not surprised.
  16. thebruce44
    Is that really a breakout for Turang? It seems like it would be more of a continuation of last year.
  17. thebruce44
    It really shows the sense of speed that they don't capture on the still cameras.
  18. thebruce44
    Its amazing. I didn't know I needed this!
  19. thebruce44
    Dude, thank you. This is why I still try to keep up on this site.
  20. thebruce44
    Thanks, how did you find that?

    How high up the rankings did Frelick, Weimer, and Mitchell get? I don't remember reading much about Weimer so it was surprising when he had a decent early year. Otherwise, I'd say the success rate between Frelick and Mitchell has been good outside of injuries. Either way, this is anecdotal and looking at a small sample.

    Memories unlocked: In December 2003, the Brewers traded Sexson along with pitcher Shane Nance and a player to be named later (Noochie Varner) to the Arizona Diamondbacks for infielders Junior Spivey, Craig Counsell, Lyle Overbay, catcher Chad Moeller, and pitchers Chris Capuano and Jorge de la Rosa.

    I remember hearing about the Brewers purchasing batting eye training equipment before most other teams back in the 2010s. I don't know if they continue to stay ahead of the curve in terms of the latest equipment and training aids, but I would be willing to bet they have invested in proprietary software and analytics beyond what other teams have built. After that, they seem to be ahead in getting the data back to their pitchers and making it useful.

    On paper, this would seem to be a better return than we got for Burnes. Hard to not be happy in terms of value to the org.

    I hate to say it, but I don't see us as a title contender with the Blue Jays and Dodgers getting even better this off season.
