    BA doing his best to jinx woodruff gushing on all his pitching craftiness while he's starting to leave pitches middle-middle
  2. Fear The Chorizo
    I'm convinced if PCA would never get a strike thrown to him, and coaches would tell him that'sthe case, his OBP would still be sub-200
  3. Fear The Chorizo
    He should be viewed as trade package fodder at this year's deadline. They will need his 40 man spot next year, if not sooner, anyway for more highly regarded prospects on their way up
  4. Fear The Chorizo
    I'm thinking the impact reliever list I'd want to acquire starts and ends with Chapman. Would be fine giving up value for him down the stretch to bolster the back end of the pen

    Koenig back is that relief option...but I think they should target another closer/late inning arm at the deadline, too. And yeah, a 6 man rotation with quality arms is a good idea at this point in the season - the Brewers have the depth to do just that, which is crazy considering Priester is out injured the whole season.
  6. Fear The Chorizo
    Just putrid

    Sproat isn't going anywhere after his last start - having piggyback options and 6 man rotation options through this stretch to get to the AS break makes alot of sense now that Woodruff is back. I'd assume Koenig gets activated tonight, too - which adds another high leverage reliever to the mix. With this stretch, I think you send Perkins back down and add the extra pitcher in Koenig to the roster.

    Cubs have been scoring runs in bunches lately, but that pitching staff is in shambles. Cant think of a better way to start the weekend than Miz shutting them down for 7 and the offense knocking Rea around to keep the strain on a taxed bullpen.
  9. Fear The Chorizo
    Lol!
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    He is just praying for a pop up or rocket to an infielder for a double play
  11. Fear The Chorizo
    Koenig cant get back here soon enough

    All of that is true, but what also is true is Peralta isnt having a great season and the Brewers get sproat plus williams for 11 more years of team control after this season. Even a 1-2 year window of above average mlb production from either of those guys makes the trade a net positive for the Brewers. My gut tells me 1 or both of those players are going to be part of future trades and not become Brewer mainstays, but its way, way too early to write off top 100 prospect level talent. Its not highway robbery like the trade to Boston for Harrison, Drohan and Hamilton, but the Peralta/Sproat and Williams trade is a huge win for the Brewers organization

    generally agreed - owners likely realize they're going to have to reduce service time control (both prior to free agency and minor league control before either requiring players be added to the 40 man or entering minor league free agency. Pushing the year an initial bonus baby gets drafted 1-2 seasons later when they're closer to 20 instead of 18 takes some of that evaluation risk out, but it also gets those players closer to MLB-ready in development instead of burning their 1st two minor league seasons nursing them through rookie and low A affiliates when the priority is to avoid injury if at all possible (especially for high end high school pitching prospects). I can see them using it as a bargaining chip to concede assuming the players union concedes on other items the owners want.

    Sproat's arm/raw stuff and Williams simply being a MLB-caliber middle infielder yet to break into the major leagues means the Brewers won this trade by a landslide - if the Mets were to offer Peralta back and wanted Sproat +Williams in return it would be an awful trade for the Brewers. I get that MLB results haven't been good for Sproat in terms of an "arrow up" outlook on him as a pitcher as he is breaking into the majors as a starter who still needs more development, and may be better suited at present in a long relief/setup - type role....Corbin Burnes was once statistically the worst starting pitcher in MLB early in his Brewers career, and he won a Cy Young not long after.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    He basically did the same thing around this time last year to make the AS game and become a fringe MVP candidate...then he stunk across the entire 2nd half of the season. His K rate is essentially identical to his career averages this season, maybe his walk rate has improved a bit...but im not sure why teams opt to throw him strikes. Go back to a constant diet kf high fastballs and sliders in the dirt and dont change until he actually stops swinging.
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    And he is apparently injured
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    Why even throw a curve there? He sure did hang it, but stick with your sinker and changeup dude, especially against a lefty
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    I mean, given this front office's track record id be surprised if that didnt happen. We sorta knew Sproat need time to figure it out at the MLB level, abd his stuff was good enough to get outs despite still being raw. He's got the 2nd best stuff in the organization - honing command and building up endurance to not fall apart at 75 pitches makes him a great starter

    Its impossible to have a legit deal with a failed terrorist regime whose regional influence has just been severely diminished. All of it from both sides is bluster, but what has changed is the primary countries in Asia and Europe who rely on steady oil flows through Hormuz are feeling the pinch and need energy supply stability - so diplomatic pressure is ramping up on Iran. More importantly, this wont really end until China is willing to buy oil at global market prices instead of the discounted crude from Iran. I expect that to take awhile since Venezuela is no longer a backup option for them at cheap prices and Russia can't give them everything they need. Meanwhile, markets at all time highs with oil prices steadily dropping, and gas prices (which will lag significantly behind oil and probably spike up another time or two this summer) back below $4/gallon.

    Here we go!!
  21. Fear The Chorizo
    Go get a healthy Skubal and shore up the pen
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Facing the minimum
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    Just hand the kid the Cy Domination - honestly the closest thing to hitters looking completely out matched as this was Kerry Wood's 20K game as a rookie against the Astros on a cold April day when he was throwing sliders breaking 4 feet before his elbow blew out. Just cruising for a CG shutout against a damn good offensive club
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    Fly balls go 430 feet ...just nuts
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Eh...if he wants to accept a trip to Nashville the brewers can keep that depth there...i honestly think they have better depth in AAA/AA that deserve the chance and its time to cut dead weight
