Add Actuarial Science to that list, too... ☹️

I don't know if there is a way to tell if there is a paywall. Baseball Prospectus has a paywall and I won't be subscribing. Perhaps something like: Brewers vs. Brewers: A Premature Comparison (Baseball Prospectus $$$) -
That is why I have avoided making posts in the season prediction threads. 😉

Moving to the Bullpen Won't Fix Brandon Sproat
Samurai Bucky replied to Jack Stern's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm thinking it was out of necessity. Sproat's story is tragic so far. I hope he turns it around. -
I would keep throwing off-speed low and away. He might get into a mode where everything needs to be mashed. Contreras does that every so often and can't get a hit for weeks.

Andrew Fischer and the Extremes
Samurai Bucky replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Hasn't the message from the Brewers been, "Be the best version of yourself?" If that is the case, then I'm not surprised as to his approach. Knowing this, however, I don't think being the "best version of yourself" is being satisfied with where you are at. I do not know if he is taking plus-plus (++) swings on two-strike counts. I would hope he wouldn't be until he gets more consistent. Does he hit the ball the other way? I would hate to see him become another Keston Hiura. My guess is he will spend another year in the minors. -
When I read the media archive thread while using dark mode, the highlighted sections require me to "select the text" with my mouse in order to see the text. I was wondering if you could help me out (I don't want to go to light mode 😉) Here is a screen shot:

We were at a tournament at Woodside in the Dells with a 17u academy team where I was an assistant coach. They had those temporary mounds made out of something like OSB with turf on it. We were playing against a team from Alabama and their pitcher was shoving it. He was probably 6' 3" and throwing low 90's. We got some hits early on. Around the beginning of the third inning, our coach said, "You know, that mound doesn't look right." Sure enough, the temporary mound had moved forward about a foot or more. They moved it back -- we started hitting the ball and ended up winning. Our pitcher was more of a junk pitcher (a good one, though). His breaking balls moved more (obviously). 👍

Jesse Winker wasn't available... 🤪

NL Central Discussion 2026
Samurai Bucky replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
How about the White Sox with 67 wins? Well, they are at 75 now and in first place. I forgot the AL is not that good. -
They most certainly lost because my family went to game 1 of the NLCS. Perhaps I should avoid that playoff game if they earn another trip to the NLDS. It has nothing to do with the players -- only the fact I attended one of the games. That happened the previous year when I went to game 1 vs. the Mets.

#1 seed earns the following: Miz pitches at home in game 1 and doesn't have to horse around with a bad mound Gives the pitching staff a break See #1

This couldn't have been the worst loss. Nothing got broken in his studio. A real rabid fan would have either beaten the plastic bat on a desk, or been so mad that he would have broken his Shure microphone. He needs to be better. Remember this gem? I would expect something like this:
-
He is certainly bipolar in those podcasts. “ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!” He has been saying that a lot lately. He was calling for Counsell’s head earlier in the year when the lineup wasn’t meshing. Then he spoke about how it was so awesome that the lineup was working. Basically, he has a podcast mimicking, what often happens on this board 😂
-
I turned on the closed captioning and rewound the game and that is what he said. She left because she was under the weather.
-
I think they would have done better. Recall -- Gary Andersen tried to revamp the offense and see where that got him? They went back to being tough up front only to go away from it when Fickell came back.
-
BTW: I haven't heard Posa's name mentioned once. Keep working as the underdog, Mason.
-
I am encouraged by what I have seen so far. The offense is showing more than they did last year. In the past, on the TD, our quarterback would have either thrown it out of bounds or threw it so hard that it would have been dropped. There was one play by Joseph where he hit a WR screen before the receiver cleared knowing he would be there. This would have been an epic failure during the past few years.
-
I do not want to see the Notre Dame fans complain about the replay for Michigan's game. Why even have replay? That said, the ball shouldn't have bounced off the returner's chest plate. Who was the returner? I don't know because the tv guys have maybe said the names of 6 Badgers the entire game. What a joke.
-
I have a feeling that May was here to be more of an innings eater than anything else. He should be doing better for sure.
-
Yup… the Packers are living in the heads of the Chicago faithful rent free. 🤷♂️
-
I keep saying that I know a 50+ year old who throws a knuckleball... 😉
-
How many pitchers, besides Ohtani, have had an RBI this year? Vaughn for MVP!!!!
-
Keep the hands quiet and get back to basics. Also, don't worry so much about lifting the ball to the pull side. That is when the timing gets out of whack. I keep thinking of Paul Molitor -- he had very quiet hands.
-
Our view of the scoreboard during a chunk of the game: There were a lot of glitches. It was interesting during the seventh inning stretch because you could tell what fans really knew the words to “Take me out to the Ballgame” and “Beer Barrel Polka.”
