  1. I don't think we have done that many openers this year. Which feels a bit like that ongoing evolution with the players on hand. Getting to the point of having enough bullpen guys who can be effective going 2-3 innings wasn't easy since it is a very different role than the traditional bullpen. I'm curious of how much was intentional and how much was being opportunistic.
  2. It's weird to say this after so many years of commenting about this for other teams, but at a minimum you need to drive the price up for the Cubs or Dodgers.
  3. My Grandfather was 58 when my mother was born so it can work
  4. It's actually simple he has one of the grand kids spy on us during the game then makes some decisions just to mess with us.
  5. It is pretty wild to be at a point where well regarded new draft picks might struggle to get into the top 15 right away.
  6. I was also highly skeptical of Sheep Detectives, but at my wife's request saw it on Mother's Day and it's a that rare for me good family movie. Probably not nearly as good on a rewatch since part of the fun was the who-dunit, but still something to pull out in a few years and enjoy with a younger generation.
  7. Catcher is the only position I don't feel 100% confident we will have a really good internal option. Not saying we are empty but with Dinges and Quero both having injuries impact them there is a chance neither pans out well. Every other position has so many options, someone will workout.
  8. Probably, but when Perkins looks like the next man up it gets easier to fall back on pride.
  9. The sad truth as someone who started with Brewerfan at the beginning when I was still in college, is I'm closer to an older fan than I would like... I should probably be traded to another fan's message boards for a Poster to Be Named Later
  10. I'm guessing if he wanted to coach the Brewers would find a spot for him, but retirement sure makes a lot of sense.
  11. Things improved dramatically up in my area before 10 today so there is hope
  12. I wish I could easily dig up 15 year old posts, but it was recognized after the fact around here that Sabathia performed unusually well for a trade deadline acquisition. That was in many ways why I posted the challenge players who perform really well just aren't traded as often. While the Brewers are underdogs in a series to the Dodgers they'd still have a decent chance. Even in a 7 game series the best team doesn't win that much more often.
  13. Just as importantly even when teams get big names at the deadline they are rarely viewed in history as players who got teams over the top. If you dispute this come up with a list of 10 players traded at the deadline since 2000 that were the big difference makers for those Championship teams.
  14. I would tend to agree that with how good the pitching has already been getting better is a tall order. However the pattern of improvement suggests they do have some secret to improvement. If you just assume it's pure luck which half is better there is only a 3.5% chance of having 7 or more better second halves (counting hitting and pitching separate). (Binomial probability model)
  15. Impressive that all 4 years they pitched better after the break, and in 3 of the 4 years they hit better.
  16. He could but we were all still wondering this offseason how Mitchell could keep up his rate stats with the high K rate. He's almost certainly a big win or a complete flameout.
