    Adames!

    Great play by Ortiz on that bunt

    Someone had posted it a few days ago, but the fact that we've only been blown out 7 or 8 times this season while every other team in baseball has been blown out at least 13 or more was really telling in terms of thinking how skewed some of our perceptions are in terms of stacking up. Not favorites at this point, but we are likely to play a whole lot of close games in the post season.

    I think the Dodgers have to trade their whole farm for Williams on the offseason to protect their investment in Ohtani

    I love how Jackson tricked Flaherty into throwing to that spot a second time

    That was a nice AB from Turang

    He's got 2 weeks yet and if he keeps having outings like his last one it would be virtually guaranteed since he is already getting paid and really at this point the bigger issue is that he has a 40-man spot. Unless something drastic happens I really think Yoho has to wait a year since he isn't on and doesn't need to get added.
  8. igor67
    Or maybe the opposite and go for some cricket style rollers up to the plate and see if Ohtani can do anything with that pitch?

    Nice drama free 9th inning, just want 12 of those from Devin in October.
  10. igor67
    If we aren't careful Ohtani might hit 40/40 on us before leaving town. I don't know how long he has to do this to dethrone any of the other inner circle candidates for best player of all time but what a player.

    In the spirit of the thread, we could have at least tried to see what the pitching lab could do with Sheets at this point? I'll acknowledge shifting the mechanics can take a bit, but how many more starts before you move on and just write it off as the high risk move that didn't work (and hope there is no long term regret)

    That is what I believe the data will eventually show as well on the repair side and is why I jumped all the way to fully electric once I had the chance. 19,000 miles and the only repair costs are $20 to rotate the tires and a windshield crack repair from a rock. We will see how things look as we get closer to 100K, but for right now all the pre-purchase research is turning out like expected, including not buying a Tesla.

    Well at the same mechanic who charges me half of what Oil changes were costing in the Twin Cities I just(AKA the mechanic works cheap) spent $800 for a fuel pump replacement on my F-150, so I don't really think any vehicles count as cheap to repair or maintain. Going back 20 years I'm pretty sure I've hit at least $3000 in repairs (not just tires and oil changes) on every vehicle I've had. The bigger hurdle is adding on the extra cost up front to get a home charger for the first time. It's not terribly expensive, but I spent enough time juggling used cars that trying to add that in the budget while used car shopping would be a problem for a lot of people. If you are frequently using pay chargers then you loose way too much of the savings advantage. But yes the battery packs are going to keep dropping in cost because of where they are in the technology replacement cycle. The newer batteries are also being tested against that 4000 charging cycle stress test. Which even if you charge it everyday gets you to an 11 year life span with most of the battery still working. For most people especially as the packs get bigger you can extend that pretty easily to 15 years with only modest degradation.
  14. igor67
    Any details on the chemistry of that battery tech? The other numbers are very good, 9 minutes is only slightly longer than a quick bathroom stop.
  15. igor67
    Well it's even worse because the Romanian in 5th place really should have had the bronze but there was never a challenge filed for her score that had an incorrect penalty. I have to go back and rewatch to remember the details but it was a clear mistake at the time that got relatively little attention.

    Cards lost, LA leading 3-0, but Philly is down 4-1 to Arizona.
  17. igor67
    Leskanic is always a popular option
  18. igor67
    I can somewhat under not getting too invested in snagging the #2 seed at this point, but we are also deep enough in the season that team is more or less what the record says you are, so the Dodgers, Phillies, and Brewers are pretty similar, and because of how close they are to both teams it is either a matter of the Brewers playing really well down the stretch or 1 of those 2 underperforming somewhat. Way better odds of 1 of those things happening compared to the Cards over taking us.

    Jackson Merrill's stat line for the season is now very similar to Chourio's so he might be ahead but Chourio getting to 20/20 and defense might be a some noticeable advantages if the OPS' marks stay similar
  20. igor67
    Skenes could also have a couple of blow up starts yet to change perception. Jackson getting started relatively early on his hot streak gives some time for things to build I think with today his OPS has been over .900 going back to Jun 1. Potentially becoming the face on a team headed to a division title while Yelich is on the bench can drive some votes too.
  21. igor67
    That's the W

    In scenario number 3 people argue incessantly whatever their preexisting opinion.

    Trying to hit some new ideas, but adding talent to the system is always a good thing. One possible thing to consider is playing time with the roster limits and how deep out system is eventually guys with a real chance start to eat into each others development time. I haven't run a spot by spot analysis to confirm we are at that point, but the opportunity cost to signing anyone is at least worth thinking about at this point. One of the big ones I wanted to say is that for those critical of the process, as far as I can tell it's the same process as last year the difference is that while everyone seemed ready and willing to take us up on our offers last year this year we had to experience some of the risk that goes along with that reward. Others have mentioned the relative quality of the class, and I'll be curious to see in a few years how this class is panning out league wide. On a decision making level if the class does look very weak in a few years that would go a long way towards vindicating it was a good decision to hold some negotiating lines even if someone we don't sign looks like they are an exception to the trend of not being good. Last thing worth noting is that it's actually important from a negotiating standpoint to not just use all 5% everytime. If that becomes the expectation then the Brewers lose leverage on any deal making

    I don't like it because to make it feel worthwhile Montas has turn it around, and Weimer has to both not be able to hit in MLB and also not just be a random Brewer killer. Too many paths to regret here for my liking. It's worth noting that Joey has had a pretty good stretch in AAA with that power coming back the last month or so. Nothing definitive but it's not like he's still looking completely lost at the plate.

    Turbo I don't often disagree with you, but if none of the individuals are getting over used and most of them have been effective (not lock down perfect) how what is the issue? Given the ability to find useful bullpen arms what we are seeing is just a different way of getting those innings in, and given the relative mediocrity of our starters getting more pen innings is probably better. If we had a garbage pen or only a few relievers getting over worked it would be different, but what is the mechanism for team harm of general bullpen overuse?
