  1. My best argument for a low internal valuation on Peterson would be the combination of a lot of blocking OF prospects above him and being very limited defensively. Even with that though given that he didn't need to be added to the 40 man anytime soon I don't think we got good value back for him. It's possible we might if Rosenthal pitches well, but that's a pretty big question mark.
  2. It's been only briefly mentioned, but Kelley needing to be added to the 40-man this offseason is probably a huge part of the value consideration here. Even with the pitching lab how many A+ ballers with control issues at his age go onto figure it out within those option years? And then there is the competition with other players for those 40 man spots that ensues.
  3. No one has mentioned the big winner, Dan Plesac with his career saves record saved by the trade.
  4. I'll certainly take that slash line, but more than happy to just get a more modest .300+ Batting average, .400+ OBP and threaten .500 on the SLG. AKA something like Rickey Henderson with fewer steals (but a way better percentage).
  5. For those listening to Bill, It's Bernoulli's Law that is generally involved in flight, while Boyle's Law says that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Generally recalling in the neighborhood of the right answer is pretty good in my estimation for that type of info.
  6. Took him a bit, but he figured it out for the last batter.
  7. Brantley got more ABs with us in the Minors than Cleveland and was hitting in AA. Cain definitely developed with us almost all the way as well.
  8. I'm all for trying Frelick at CF next year at this point. Without thinking too hard on timing Lucroy would be after Braun. Nice Taylor.
  9. I appreciate JBJ finally earning some salary.
  10. It seems like Yelich has been taking advantage recently of getting shifted. I like it.
  11. On the other hand it is worth considering that if we are talking specifically about capturing methane that would otherwise be released, converting that into CO2 is a net win in terms of climate impact. Having a diversity of approaches is good because inevitably 1 solution will not work best in all situations.
  12. This is a little different than the normal 'eye test' stories in that he did the Lasik in the offseason presumably to fine tune his vision and it clearly didn't work. The timing of everything lines up very strongly with the performance as well. His season stats are likely stuck being bad, but it's worth looking at his splits in a bit to see how they are doing.
  13. I think in this case though the fleet vehicles took longer because of their larger size needing larger batteries and creating a mismatch until the energy density of the batteries improved. Fleet vehicles have started at least, it will just take some time because they are a big capital investment for those companies and I'm sure it is much easier to do that as part of their normal replacement cycle. I do believe that Chevy is offering 1 charging station with their new EVs if that helps anyone out. Between lower tradesmen rates and a better set-up it would be way cheaper for me to install 1 at my cabin ( easy access to a breaker box already in the garage) vs. my city garage that has no electricity currently. I could see the sort of cost difference on the generator, but my cabin rarely needs the back-up (It's on a major transmission line and is always a high priority to get back up) so having to maintain a gas generator isn't terribly appealing. My bigger issue is seeing how the technical specs work since I have a number of higher voltage circuits.
  14. In case anyone missed here is an explanation for why Joe Gray Jr. has struggled so much for most of the year. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2022/07/28/brewers-prospect-joe-gray-jr-struggled-after-lasik-surgery-went-wrong/10167688002/
  15. Actually the difference in offensive environment this year accounts for a lot of the difference in his OPS this year vs. his time with the Marlins. It's not everything, but it gets pretty close.
  16. It would be game over homer, but based on how much power consumption it takes to move a vehicle I don't believe even 100% efficient panels can generate enough to keep a car going continuously. I have seen some designs that do add panels to increase range.
  17. A pretty good night in prospect land.
  18. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the pick-ups as generators feature. I haven't gone so far as getting quotes, but standard pick-up plus installed gas generator may well be more expensive of an initial investment than just getting an EV. I'm not quite ready to jump in just yet, but it's a pretty good value if your looking at a truck anyway. The potential for large scale adoption to alter the peak draw times for electricity is pretty real, but I would think one could solve a lot of that with some pretty simple software in the at home chargers to just automatically wait to start charging so I don't really see that is any kind of major obstacle. I do know from the monthly electrical co-op magazine that the WI electrical co-ops have already installed charging stations in very rural locations so it wouldn't be an issue for me going to my cabin in the middle of Mennonite country, so it seems like access is being addressed. I will say I was surprised that more of the travel plaza's along I94 haven't already gotten farther ahead on getting chargers installed or even the sit down restaurants it seemed pretty clear to me a few years ago that getting those installed would be good money makers to draw people in for that somewhat longer wait time.
  19. That Shuckers line-up is just so loaded with interesting prospects. Frelick definitely seems to be the top one out of the group, but the other 3 OFers all have good reasons to keep track of them. Add in Valerio and Devanney and there is a lot to like.
  20. I wonder who will pitch the 9th? McGee didn't throw many pitches.
  21. yes my audio keeps cutting out on the MLB web page
  22. Frelick dialed in again tonight already 3 hits with 2 doubles.
  23. I'm sure Pittsburg wouldn't like that setup
