    1 out now

    You are incorrect that is 6 runs on Nola

    Is counsell trolling us by having Chafin warming up?

    If there was justice they would definitely be on the contraction list.

    I see a lot of pressure on the Cubs this series. At a minimum they need to win the series, even then they only make up 1 game in the standings, but they give themselves a chance to be in position that final series. Losing the series though means not only do they fall another game back, but then we only need to win 1 game in the final series to have the tie-breaker. If the Brewers somehow sweep it would certainly feel all but over with effectively an 8 game lead at that point.

    Interesting that Thigpen appears on the list the year after setting the save record.

    I hadn't fully appreciated how many tough save chances Devin has had. That is a lot of tight games to pitch in successfully.

    My baseball listening was getting erratic during those years, but I definitely remember listening to Woodard's game and I was a pretty big Clemens fan at the time so it was something else to listen too.

    I went full geothermal a few years ago, definitely not bugged by that at all. What I pay to air condition now is almost trivial, I pay more if I have to run the dehumidifier in the basement.

    I would tend to agree with Jopal here. At this point in the season a 6th rotation member saves maybe 1 start for the other pitchers and that seems rather insignificant in workload in isolation. Chafin getting another week to see if he can not blow-up a game before you make a decision on adding Gasser to the pen, gives you options there, and certainly with basically just a month of the season if someone went down or Houser really kept struggling into September you could get Gasser out of the pen and back into starting with minimal ramp-up time.

    But if other players need a break and their bats are inferior they should just get the day off instead of DHing.
  12. igor67
    DHing Yelich and Contreras for a bit of a breather is 2 games a week, leaving 4 to 5 for a primary DH. That's pretty much full time. No one else in the line-up is hitting well enough to justify needing DH ABs, just rest them. You'd also have that DH person available to pinch hit in those 2 games they aren't starting. If he keeps hitting this is what Rowdy will end up doing so it's not a justification for Hiura.

    Those numbers are bad enough it makes me strongly question if the position adjustment in those WAR calculations is too high. Really as I reflect on it the number of bigtime slugging first basemen has also seemed way down post steroid-ERA as well.

    The Padres and Angels are both secretly collaborating on a Sequel to Brewster's Millions, Cohen found out and came late to the party as well. A holographic Richard Pryor will be appearing to pitch to Ohtani...

    Well with a slight lead in the season series already the Brewers only need to split the remaining 6 to have the tie breaker over the Cubs. So even just winning the series at the end of the month puts the Cubs into needing to sweep us on the road to end the season to have that advantage.

    I'm not saying, I'm completely turned off yet but if I was 30 years younger would I get as wrapped up in college athletics? I don't think so. I think the revenue chasing part is undercutting the broad appeal. D1 used to seemingly mean just about anybody anywhere in the country had a natural in state option and it formed that culture piece growing up.
  18. igor67
    In the abstract I think you have to give him at least another week. The specifics really come down to how the other options are performing. I hope the memory of Schoop makes it easier to move on if need be, sometimes a move just doesn't work and as you correctly identified we don't have a lot invested in keeping him around if there are other players looking like they can hit more.
  19. igor67
    Just for comparison, statistically a noticeable portion of the cost benefits to EVs are way fewer parts, and lower expected repairs. For the actual owners out there how has that looked/ felt in the real world?
  20. igor67
    I wonder if they were trying to at least test a more aggressive promotion path for Misiorowski to increase and evaluate options to replace Burnes and Woodruff?
  21. igor67
    I think the practical overlap salary wise of Chourio and Yelich isn't that big of a hurdle in isolation. Even if he is called up early next year his FA equivalent years aren't until we can buy Yelich out. With the way these are typically structured you'd have 1 or maybe 2 years where they both might be making 10 million plus. If you get aggressive and waive money at him early you might be able to even front load him with bigger pay days in the first couple of years and be able to get a solid deal that isn't that high 5 and 6 years out.
  22. igor67
    I'm with Chorizo on this Frelick, Mitchell, Weimer is the planned starting OF. Yelich gets a shot to learn 1st or DH (maybe or they just assume the 4 share playing time in OF and a big chunk of DH ABs) 4th and 5th OF spots are handled with a similar collection to who we have this year in those roles. Chourio starts in AAA and is likely the first call if there is a noteworthy injury. They'll stash 1 or 2 other guys in AAA to cover that injury if it's minor or too early in the season or if Jackson is struggling a bit out of the gate. Perfect world all those guys hit, and probably Mitchell get dealt midseason for something else shiny and we enjoy the greatest Brewer OF of all time (oops sorry thought it was the optimism thread). Imperfect world you still have a number of those players hitting well, and playing great defense while covering more ABs with the 4th OF then you'd like.

    I would listen, but this seems more like something that would have to happen in the offseason. Right now it's hard to envision how this isn't waving the flag for the current season since he is easily our top bat in the line-up. Certainly by the end of the contract Yelich is probably a part time player, but with 5 years to go his bounce back alters the albatross potential. I do think there is value in having that face player.
  24. igor67
    Your top 4 are spot on for me, but Chris Saenz's debut has to go 5, certainly for those on Brewerfan at the time, it was this shot of energy game that signaled that farm system was really producing some players, and against a tough line-up. I'd Jenkins 6th since that game was closer and getting a couple of hits off Orel is a solid achievement in a debut.
  25. igor67
    I was trying to figure out how to do worse than Winker's .247 SLG, and was disturbed to learn that JBJ is still playing and has put up a 397 OPS I thought baseball was a family game. In any event prior to this year even JBJ always beat that terrible of a SLG
