    .878 OPS for the month of June. I know that even if this is the case the team can't disclose this because it's HIPAA PHI, but it would not surprise me if he had more eye therapy done in the time he was out of the lineup. Eye injuries have a tendency to not fully heal.

    That was also 20 years ago. Things, and people, can change.

    Also from a roster limit standpoint, it's easier to stash someone on an ACL squad than AAA or AA where they have lower roster limits.

    Because he gave up a HR to a guy who got MVP votes each of the last two seasons?
  5. LouisEly
    13 pitch innings, too
  6. LouisEly
    11 and 12 pitch innings work

    They're different. The last one I had (iLife, bought on Amazon) had a tendency to get stuck on rugs and not roll off of them. When I bought a new one (eufy, Amazon) I searched product specs and reviews to see if they had a tendency to get stuck, and this one does not. There is one little place where the stairs are bolted into the floor where it will get stuck for 15 seconds, but eventually backs out of there. It has never gotten permanently stuck anywhere. Regardless of whether it's a robot or human-powered vacuum, you have to pick up power cords.

    I'm all for trading from MKE's deep farm system to upgrade the roster. I started a thread on which top prospects people would be willing to part with. My first sentence in that thread was that you have to give up quality to get quality. I'm willing to give up top prospects. I just don't place as much value on Paredes. He's not a great defender, and bad defenders force pitchers to throw more pitches. More pitches = more bad pitches thrown = more big hits and runs given up. More pitches also = more wear on pitcher's arms, fewer innings covered, and the last thing the Brewers need is fewer innings covered by their pitchers. It all depends on what teams are going to be selling in late July. We don't know that yet. Some teams that were out of it a month ago are back into it. So, it doesn't really pay to speculate on that for another 3 weeks or so.

    The one big difference is that robotic vacuums just go until they hit something and then pivot a random number of degrees. Robotic mowers map your lawn and go in a systematic pattern. Much more efficient. That, and mowers have much bigger wheels so they don't get stuck on small bumps. I think you need to get better robotic vacuums.

    Brewers could use a fresh arm, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kuhnel is DFA'd tomorrow and Easton McGee is brought up. Kuhnel has pitched two days in a row. McGee last pitched on 6/26 for 2/3rds of an inning. throwing only 15 pitches. Not ideal, but when you have Priester and Zerpa out for the year and Hall, Henderson, and Crow also on the IL, you're going to get to the end of your 40-man roster.

    Just seems like every night it's someone different. Hamilton last 7 days: 833 OPS; last 28 days: 771 OPS Turang last 7 days: .500 OPS. last 28 days: .713 OPS Frelick last 14 days: .773 OPS Yelich last 14 days: .571 OPS Mitchell last 28 days: .793 OPS: last 14 days: .618 OPS Vaughn last 14 days: .688 OPS

    They're like robotic vacuums. When they reach a hard edge like a sidewalk or the street the sensors pick that up and they turn around. Just like with vacuums - when they get to stairs the sensors pick up a lack of a surface below and turn around. I've had robotic vacuums for well over a decade and have never had one go down the stairs. Robotic vacuums also have a digital barrier you can set up that the vacuum won't cross. If you have heavy tree cover and no fence, the GPS might not be able to pick up boundaries of the property and you might have to bury a wire. You'll still need a trimmer for edges.

    When I read that article, I see what I was referencing: "We're high on him," coach Scott Skiles said. "We think he has a lot of potential. He's just learning. He's trying to learn our defensive schemes, so he's getting taken advantage some by some veteran guys. But he's got all the tools. Offensively, he's a pretty well-rounded player right now, but obviously because of his age, we think he's going to get a lot better." "At that time, we just felt [Luc] Mbah a Moute was a better defender and [Mike] Dunleavy was a better offensive player, and Tobias didn't get as many minutes. But we were high on him. At that point, Skiles was coaching for his job, which meant wins, and playing young players like Harris was at that point compromised the defensive schemes. Use of the word "we" instead of "I" doesn't sound like giving up on him, but I guess it depends on who "they" are, Whatever. And I think you can agree that they made a lot of trades that didn't make sense. They traded down in both the 2012 and 2011 drafts, so they didn't exactly value draft picks then.

    Looks like a blessing that Terrion Arnold was taken one pick before GB drafted Jordan Morgan...

    Koenig's velo is down a little, but it seems like Ashby has taken over as the late inning/high-leverage LHRP role anyway. Hopefully Koenig is more of a middle-innings guy for now and not thrust back into late inning/high-leverage.

    The one I see as the most valuable to keep is Wagoner. He's been throwing upper 90's and it has not been uncommon to see him go 2 innings. Relief pitchers are possibly the easiest to stash, and anyone throwing 98/99 is going to be given plenty of opportunities to succeed/fail. He's come back strong from injury and this year so far is at 18 IP (13 G, so several multi-inning outings), 10 H, 4 BB, 26K. I think he's a lock. Like others, the issues with Williams and Adams revolve around defensive homes. I could see Adams as that backup corner IF, not good enough to play regularly at 3B but maybe good enough to play there in emergency. As others have said, more than likely trade candidates, particularly considering that teams place more value on players at AA and above. Williams just hasn't hit enough, but could be taken as a backup utility IF. I do think that Wilken's eye/depth perception issues (not something you want to broadcast, and likely HIPAA PHI anyway) have resurfaced, and wonder if he would even pass a physical with another team. Kuehner's injury will likely keep teams away, but teams have been known to take flyers on LHP. Holub is possible, but the numbers aren't quite as impressive as Wagoner and he's already 27 and will be 28 at the time of the Rule 5 draft.

    Cubs equivalent of trading for Jake Woodford. You have to overpay this far before the trade deadline.

    Burn the tape of this whole damn series

    The answer is that Patrick started warming up in the 5th because it looked like Gasser would be lucky to finish the 5th. What they've learned is that when a guy gets up and ready to come in it creates enough wear on the arm that it is equal to an appearance. So, it would already have been an appearance in terms of wear. Having him finish the game saves everyone else in the bullpen and everyone else is fresh for the next series. Also, Patrick had given up a lot of HRs in the prior 2 weeks and you don't want someone who is giving up a lot of dingers to not figure that out before pitching in the Great American Band Box. I have zero issues with it. You may differ.

    Why in the world were they pitching to De la Cruz with 1B open and a RHH on deck?
  21. LouisEly
    It wasn't one start. It was his third start of that type of quality: 4/16/26 - @TOR - 6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K 6/10/26 - @ATH (at Las Vegas) - 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K 6/23/26 - @CIN - 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K All three on the road. All three either tough offenses or tough ballparks to pitch in. The talent is there. It just needs to be unlocked consistently. At not quite 25 years old yet, I think he's far from a fully-developed pitcher.

    That is exactly half of the games he played in, which is exactly what I said. And I doubt that Boylan implemented a new system halfway through the season. Once Boylan was HC coincided with when Harris basically stopped playing, signaling that all Boylan cared about was playing veterans thinking that was the best way to win so that he could put himself in the best position to get hired for the job after the season. And that was exactly their MO at the time. If not the coach, certainly the owner.

    And now the Celtics need to deal with the fallout of Brown being talked about in a number of trades, and then not getting traded and still with the team.
  24. LouisEly
    They didn't give up on him. He started half of the games he played for MIL his second season. They were bringing him along slowly, giving him some experience/minutes against other team's starters without giving him too much time on the court where his weaknesses were a major impact on the games. If they gave up on him, he would have only gotten garbage time minutes. They traded him for Reddick because Scott Skiles was the head coach and ran a guard-oriented offense (because he was a guard as a player) and they thought that they needed another shooting guard to get them over the hump, and they had to give up something to get Reddick. (They were kind of right - their backup guards were Beno Udrih and Doron Lamb, so they needed a guard off the bench.) He didn't look like a bust, they didn't give up on him, it was just another one of many bad Bucks trades.

    Assuming they keep both, I like it. If you're drafting at 10 & 13, you take high upside college freshmen and hope you find the next SG-A. Both showed something for being true freshmen. They're far from finished products. I'm not an advanced basketball metrics guy, but looking at Ament, while he didn't have a great shooting % he was 79% from FT, suggesting he has a decent stroke. 33% from 3 isn't awful for a true freshman big.
