    when you can fly and teams can't overshift to limit hits on solid contact on the ground, cutting back on the HR cuts in favor of slashing yourself around the bases makes a ton of sense if you don't have 25+HR pop.

    Adames is who he has always been...will carry a lineup a couple weeks 2-3x a season, then also spend at least the same amount of time being a lineup black hole. The problem is he isn't hitting 7th everyday

    Start #2 looked pretty darn dominant against a team seeing him for the 2nd time.

    despite the late season resurgence AND the playoff showing, this Packers team was the 7 seed in the conference last year and the schedule reflects that accordingly. If they pick up where they left off at the end of the year, they will have multiple games flexed to later starts/prime time as the season wears on, no doubt.

    There's been such a shift towards increasing bat speed through the zone for power that bats have become weighted heavily into the barrel - Turang is using a 35-inch bat (enormous by today's standards, particularly for a player of his stature), but its design is much more balanced than what most of the bats are now, making it easier for him to get through the zone. It caters to hitting the ball where it's pitched moreso than using power/batspeed to force a batted ball to a pull-side field with authority. When most pitchers are supplying 95+ mph velocity in pitches, a player can still hit with plenty of pop without trying to max out their own bat speed through the hitting area.

    I wouldn't expect the video game numbers he is putting up in Mexico to continue (over 14k/9ip strikeout ratio)....but from both an on the field and budget standpoint there isn't a more obvious starter acquisition for this team than Trevor Bauer if they need rotation depth. Hate me for stating it due to the off the field baggage that would come with him, but it's true.

    From the day the trade was made, the Brewers' front office made it known they viewed Gasser as the centerpiece of the return for Hader, acknowledging it would be a few seasons until he was ready to contribute at the MLB level. The Brewers weren't going anywhere that season and made the right call to trade Hader then. People were p'oed Hader was dealt, but he was in the midst of imploding that June/July and he was only going to get more expensive the following offseason. Flipping Ruiz for Contreras the following offseason was just gravy...albeit spectacularly delicious gravy!

    Greinke looks more like the guy saying 'Do it' in this post than the guy in the Brewers uniform at this stage of his career. No. Thank. You.

    I had a neighbor who was a brewmaster at a local brewery, with a connection at a local distillery....several of his experimental batches with bourbon barrels made for early nights!
  10. Fear The Chorizo
    I think that can be true but also know they need to add more for depth towards the top of their draft, too.

    Was it barrel aged at a refinery? Slow sips with it in a chilled cozy, my friend!
  12. Fear The Chorizo
    If stokes wasnt a pumpkin, maybe....I think they had a pretty soft schedule in terms of playing teams that could sling it and it really helped their depleted secondary.
  13. Fear The Chorizo
    Tonight, I'd rather see Packers swing a trade sending one of their young wrs who won't see the field in 2024 plus one-two of their current picks for an established starter at CB or 4-3 D lineman with a rebuilding team that needs picks/wrs.
  14. Fear The Chorizo
    It also takes a team willing to bite on a package of picks to trade back up. If value in this draft is top 120, those picks are going to be harder to pry free. If you're starting with 5-6 of them, no point in my mind to trade down a few spots in round 2 to add a couple more in rounds 4-5 in hopes you can use those to get back into round 2 or 3 again later.
  15. Fear The Chorizo
    Exactly...this isn't a roster where a dozen draft picks are all making the team - feels like they should go quality over quantity this year with all they have in the top 100
  16. Fear The Chorizo
    Yeah, but they already have a ton of picks tonight in good spots where they won't need to trade up if they just stand pat.
  17. Fear The Chorizo
    And there go all the CBs
  18. Fear The Chorizo
    Dont know if I like the strategy of stockpiling more draft picks when you already have a ton and a young roster....would rather they stand pat or even trade up a bit to target the guys they want left on the board in spots tonight
  19. Fear The Chorizo
    In a draft where teams were burning draft capital chasing hopeful franchise QBs in round 1, it's great having a TON of picks in rounds 2-3. There's instant starter-quality talent all over the field left on the board - particularly at Packer positions of need. Pumped for what unfolds tonight in Packerland.

    Very curious pick to say the least - even if it's viewed as the "heir apparent" in a few years given the Cousins signing, Penix will be 24 when this season starts. Love is just 1 year older and now entering his 4th NFL season. Sounds like Captain Kirk's camp was very befuddled, too.

    He's barely 20....TWENTY. Braun was in college at twenty. So was Weeks. Fielder spent his full age 20 season in AA. Color me unsurprised that a young hitter's weakness is offspeed low and away that breaks out of the strike zone. Chourio simply hasn't seen enough of those pitches to make that adjustment in his approach to lay off them - but he's been so good otherwise that he's having to learn to solve that flaw on the fly. It's not a swing change to fix a hole in the strike zone - it's pitch recognition and being able to spit on offspeed stuff instead of swinging at it. Sure, it's tougher to do that at the MLB level, but keep in mind Chourio is building his own mental book on how pitchers are attacking him, and the longer he's in MLB the more reliable that book becomes, too. When he starts taking those pitches more consistently and pitchers find themselves having to attack him in the zone with pitches Chourio can predict, he'll do more damage consistently. Not worried at all...
  22. Fear The Chorizo
    Remind me again how much time he served, or when he gets out of prison again? I get it, people don't like Bauer - that doesn't mean he's a criminal or that he can't pitch at the game's highest level.
  23. Fear The Chorizo
    The same guy I thought would look really good in the middle of this rotation over the winter would look even better right now with how much the rotation resembles a mash unit that desperately needs another innings eater, and he could be signed for league minimum. He also K'd 14 in 6 no hit IP yesterday.
  24. Fear The Chorizo
    I don't think even the most optimistic Brewer fans would expect a guy who just turned 20 before this season started to be vying for any MLB triple crown offensive categories....one thing Chourio has done is proven he belongs at the MLB level.
  25. Fear The Chorizo
    Kid does not know he should this good.
