    I don't know about that. Maybe for apartments/rentals, but new home inventory is up to an almost 12-month supply. I've heard that about used cars as well, but everyone I've spoken to recently (small sample) who is actively looking for a vehicle has said that inventory is still low and it's hard to get what they want. For new vehicles almost everyone has said that they've had to go to multiple dealers to try to get on a reasonable waiting list for what they want. I just don't see demand going down, so supply is going to have to increase significantly.

    I don't necessarily mind the shift, but what I do mind is what basically amounts to the 2B/SS playing in shallow RF. Yeah, sure, you can shift but you have to keep your feet on the dirt. Similar with the pitch clock; I don't necessarily mind it but I would prefer for at least the first season or two to be a little longer (22-25 sec w/runners on, 18-20 w/bases empty). I like the idea of faster pace of play, but am not really a fan of automatic balls either.

    Definitely energy. I'd look into electric energy providers and any global alternative energy providers. The EU governments should be providing every incentive they can to consumers to move away from using oil and gas, and if the people of the EU are smart they are investing in any alternative energy home heating and transportation option they can find.

    Were we separated at birth? I was 9 at the time too... and I begged my parents to take me to his return game in 86 and they obliged. Have the ticket stub mounted in one of my Brewers collages. Some similarities between that trade in 83 and the Brewers trading Hader this year. Did those trades take the heart and guts out of their teams? Seemed like it did in 83, some arguments that it did in 22 too.

    @Mass Haas you may want to double-check your second bullet point

    Agreed - Valerio was in my consideration set (actually, the next guy at #7), but like others have said every year there are guys like him available but rarely picked. I agree that they are more likely to lose Devanney (harder to find a SS with good offensive production than 2B) than Valerio, and I don't see them having more than six spots to add people, thus why I had Devanney on my list and not Valerio.

    Definitely: Turang, Robinson Probably: Jarvis, Uribe Maybe: Castaneda, Devanney

    Old data, but according to Baseball Savant, from 2008 to 2014 league ISO at the top of the zone declined significantly and contact rates on pitches up in the zone have declined. The problem with targeting the top of the zone exclusively is if you miss high you increase walks/pitch counts and if you miss low.... ball go far.
  13. LouisEly
    How does that compare to the rest of the league? My understanding is that now that most pitchers throw at least mid-90's that very few hitters in the majors can hit fastballs at the top of the zone.

    Just for poops and giggles, I wondered what the antithesis of Hiura would look like from a sabremetric standpoint. So I wondered, who would be the antithesis of Hiura? Tony Gwynn, Sr. Here are Gwynn's career numbers (in parentheses are Hiura's 2022 numbers, not including today's 2-HR game) Career K%: 4.2% (2022 Hiura - 43.0%) Career BB%: 7.7% (2022 Hiura - 10.3%) Career ISO: .120 (2022 Hiura - .225) Career BA: .338 (2022 Hiura - .239) Career BABIP: .341 (2022 Hiura - .393) Career wRC+: 132 (2022 Hiura - 128) The takeaway? There's more than one way to skin a cat in today's MLB. And if you don't have much power, you need to have an elite hit tool in order to create runs.

    John Heyman reported that the Brewers made a push for Bell (WAS had to include him to get the prospects they wanted from SD), and Joc Pederson (Giants decided not to sell), and inquired about Gallo and Drury.

    CPI flat from June, down if you exclude housing costs. Supply chain pressures easing, starting to hear of gluts in some products/commodities. If you're thinking of making a big purchase, hold off for a month if you can.

    Already happening with Amazon and their partnership with Rivian

    Davis is out of options and cannot be sent down without exposing him to waivers.
  19. LouisEly
    1) I think the point is that it's only $1.7M, not $4.775. B) Suter has five years of service time so he can't be sent down. He had 4 years and 161 days of service time at the beginning of the season. Or did you really mean "put down"...

    It's very likely that they needed Lamet as an emergency bullpen guy yesterday in case the game went well into extra innings so that they could wait and activate Peralta today. They may also have wanted to see him in a side session in person before crystalizing their decision to DFA him.
  21. LouisEly
    I think that it's as simple as the Brewers don't make this deal without Rogers coming back. In fact, without another very good reliever/closer coming back the Brewers don't trade Hader unitl the offseason. The Padres might have been the only team that the Brewers would have traded Hader to.

    If all you knew about a guy is that as a 23-year-old CF in 374 PAs between AA and AAA he had a .467 OBP, a 52:65 BB:K ratio, and 13 HRs, what type of a prospect would you say that he is? Granted, that is in the Texas League and the PCL, but OBP plays anywhere. Looks like he's put a lot of work into pitch recognition and strike zone management as his BB:K ratio has improved dramatically over the last 3 years.

    70% of pitchers are RH, so I think success vs LHP is a bit overrated.

    It's amazing how many people can't grasp this in so many aspects of life...
