  1. Just tell the Marlins they've won the World Series and all there good players will be dealt by the weekend...
  2. For a little bit yet I think Mitchell makes sense, I would think the injuries will keep any arby figures down and as long as we are going with the fairly deep and flexible roster approach you can think of him as the 5th OF who can give you great impact for that roster spot when he's healthy. And maybe you luck into a career year playing him.
  3. My only quibble is that Haase has hit well enough to get some more starts with Contreras needing more rest than he is taking.
  4. A reference to the Fine Structure Constant, Brewerfan always aiming to raise the bar.
  5. bWAR dramatically favors Turang over Frelick, and fWAR is only slightly in favor of Frelick. Frelick's raw offense was only slightly better than Turang's and that made it difficult for me to think about with my own subjective position adjustment. I think purely by the numbers offense and defense Turang has delivered a bit more, but for this first half I still went with Frelick on the basis of bigger moments of emotional impact.
  6. Nolan really should donate his arm to science, that combination of power and durability only looks more exceptional as time goes on. At least in the past some could convince themselves that Walter Johnson might have always thrown with crazy velocity but I don't know if anyone really thinks he always brought Ryan's power all the time at this point.
  7. On load management I think I'd lean into finding ways to skip some starts across July, August, and September. You want him sharp for the playoffs, but I also think spacing out those 10 day breaks should make for a less stressful 130+ innings. You could maybe even toy with using him as well as just an opener a little bit.
  8. Yes a full house of paying customers give them a fun victory, so they come back and spend more...
  9. There is almost certainly an era effect as well. For most players 140ish games played now is full on every day territory making 120 full time except for a quick DL stint. 150+ was the expectation for sure in the past.
  10. With a bunch of offense recently, playing well overall through what was supposed to be this really challenging part of the schedule and now having won 4 straight. I'm not too upset if some of the players tried to dial it back today. After the Twins player didn't even bother to run out the dropped strikeout to end the game last night there was every reason to think they might start phoning in the rest of today's game as well.
  11. Short of standing on the wall I'm not sure how you top that one. The anticipation to parkour off the wall for both the extra height and to get over to his left I never recall anything like it.
  12. The pattern is clear at this point about Rodgers not putting in the time to get on the same page as his receivers. And every reason to believe that even his last few years with us he left some wins on the table as a result.
  13. I'm not remotely concerned, but if Mis had kept dealing like he was for a solid month I'd definitely feel like he was systematically under rated on these lists. But the last couple of outings are just a reminder that pitchers are so unpredictable individually.
  14. That would be one heck of a great stretch and given where a good chunk of those wins would come from put them in very good playoff shape. I'd happily settle for 14 wins, snagging each series except a small disappointment against the Twins. That still probably has us gain some ground on the Cubs and probably puts into the top wildcard spot.
  15. I wonder how often Hall can go 3 innings? If he can go every 3 days that gets you a lot closer.
  16. Half game out of the playoffs, odds are pretty good if you just win the next series we would make up that last bit.
  17. I wonder how much they benefit from opportunities since they do have lower power numbers
  18. Not the only one to read it that way first
  19. Atlanta is only 5.5 back of a wild card despite a 27-31 record so I think the statement holds. There is a bit of mini separation with 4 of the 5 wildcard teams all less than 3 games apart and then a full 3 game jump to the next one, but one decent hot streak and you are right there still.
  20. I'm not opposed to swapping Hoskins for a more useful asset to the roster and playing EMJ to see how it works out. The defense advantage of EMJ helps the projection and unexpectedly improving the team defense might help a bit.
