    The side-by-side video of his delivery is excellent. It seems crazy that something that small would make so much difference. Kinetically, you can see how he uses his core and legs more earlier in the year. That doesn't really explain how he has been completely missing the zone. Unless his muscle memory simply hasn't caught up. IIRC, Corbin Burnes abandoned the 4-seamer to integrate the cutter. I wonder if that is the same path that Harrison is going to take. It is too bad this is happening at this point in the year. If it was a month ago, he could go down, work some things out, and get back to where he was at the beginning of the year. I am not ready to give up on him. He showed some great things earlier in the year.

    We might have an opportunity to go to the Season Ticketholder Tailgate. Is it worth it? Are there some snacks and stuff, or is there something else? Missed Alumni Band signup. Not sure the hip replacement would have liked it anyway. Looks like it is going to be wet.

    I'm sure he was doing cartwheels being mentioned as one of the top pitchers in the league to being one of the worst -- relatively quickly. When Woody last came off the field, he looked distraught, too. Might have seen a tear when he was walking off. Although these are grown men, they are still guys who have busted their asses -- only to have it turn to crap like that. I'll extend him some grace.

    One thing that I have learned from the Brewers over the past two years: you cannot have too many (quality) starting pitchers.
  5. Samurai Bucky
    If Woody does make the postseason roster and gets hurt, what is the protocol? Too bad, so sad, or does the Crew get to "call someone up?"

    I saw a video yesterday of Big Cat Barstool complaining about the Brewers. He said that Murphy has to stop playing the "underdog" or "disrespect" card. I can't find the video, but it was titled something like, "The Cubs have a Milwaukee Problem." The above list along with popular podcasts such as Jomboy (Talkin' Baseball), etc. do not pick to the Brewers to win the Division... almost ever. With the Cubs in the division, why would they? 😉

    I think backwards your analogy is. Won twice, the Death Star has.

    Mrs. Samurai and I watched it as well. The thing that struck me is when they had Uecker mic'ed up when he told Yelich about the cancer diagnosis. He said, "You are the only one [here] that knows." I am probably reading into things, but it seemed like a torch was passed from Uecker to Yelich. See how Garrett Mitchell speaks of Yelich (go to 3:37 in the video). https://x.com/CyrtHogg/status/2098605864256942175/video/1 Again, there is a Clubhouse Coefficient that is part of the organization. Uecker was the main key and the organization needs to carry on that legacy and mindset.

    Fangraphs predictor will find some algorithm to disagree with this.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll pass it along.

    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 $$$)
  15. Samurai Bucky
    That is why I have avoided making posts in the season prediction threads. 😉

    I'm thinking it was out of necessity. Sproat's story is tragic so far. I hope he turns it around.
  17. Samurai Bucky
    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.
  18. Samurai Bucky
    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... 🤪

    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.
  23. Samurai Bucky
    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:
