Link Report for Wednesday 5/1 - Hit the Road, Everybody
igor67 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Segovia with another 2 hits and a solid day. Any thoughts if we are approaching a breakout for him? An .866 OPS in that league is pretty good -
There is also an important time element when signing something this early he is getting paid much sooner then he would otherwise. It's a less dramatic version of the big contract with large delayed payments.
-
As attractive as opening the checkbook is sooner or later you need to manage some risks with developing younger pitchers to try and keep the team going for more than a couple of years. Much to xis's analysis if it was paying for a true top end guy instead of solid mid-rotation material it might be different.

best part was because the game went long they had turned off the broadcast restrictions so I got to see it all.

Maldonado Signs with Royals for $2.5M [Agents Feud]
igor67 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I've commented here before on this but Boras is basically gambling with each client and since he can afford spread the risk across multiple commissions he can play the ultimatum strategy and get burned a few times and then make it up on Harper's contract... -
Braun Working on a Swing Change
igor67 replied to True Blue Brew Crew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Even in reduced ABs for health a return to that form has a huge impact on the team and line-up especially once the post season rolls around. I want to believe Stat Cast -
Is a strike looming, or is this fake news?
igor67 replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Actually raising the minimum MLB salary and then advocating for a raise for minor leaguers would give the union an incredibly strong case for negotiating by giving all those minor leaguers an actual stake in the outcome (and reduce the replacement player aspect). Raising the minimum does benefit the vets because it reduces the pay gap for vet vs. rookies. They could maybe try to add a few other things in, but that would be the best way to build unity among members. -
I certainly haven't seen any compelling evidence of collusion at this point, I think it is far more relevant to look at this and say the players have some substantial blame for putting all their hope and faith in the casino of free agency. Once the owners looked at the data and realized those big deals rarely paid off. And the union's own long term willingness to ignore minor leaguers systematically has increased the rationality of a player signing one of those early career deals. Why? well you just spent a number of years more or less earning sub minimum wage before getting a very substantial salary. Injuries could easily send you back to that life real quick. If the alternative to the team friendly deals on the downside risk wasn't so dire it would change the balance of players willing to go year to year.

That top ten is enough to make a person give up on pitchers altogether, BSCR.

Random derail, given that strikeout stat for Vlad Jr. anybody willing to give chances he is better than his dad?

Opposite problem actually we're hoping to hotspot our phones and avoid a second internet service fee.

I haven't really thought about a specific age, but my wife and I are now both earning pension credit. First thing to realize is how vastly superior pensions are as an investment to any other alternative. 1) Generally much lower fees. 2) The pension never needs to sacrifice returns by going conservative as retirement nears. 3) Compared to an individual saving on their own the pension can assume average lifespan, which prevents you from having to stretch your savings if you are somehow 'cursed' with an extralong life. It is unfortunate that 401Ks were so badly oversold to people. They are better than nothing of course, but to have comparable money in retirement you need to save on the order of 33% to 50% more. It would be fantastic to broaden access to pensions for people. The math on Scholarship chasing is also not terribly flattering. Even if the scholarship endowments had some how managed to keep pace with the rate of tuition inflation over the last 30 years, there is still a substantially larger number of students going to college. They can certainly help, but I have a suspicion that if you just ran the numbers on merit scholarship dollars and divided by total students you would discover it is about break even with just working more (which in and of itself is a mediocre strategy to avoiding debt).

If the plan from the get go was a fake-out then well done. Smoltz's head just exploded and from a strategic perspective it puts Roberts in a position to question everything.

Anybody have any experience with a cell signal booster for inside a house? I haven't specifically measured the signal strength outside, but we can generally get a cell signal outside at our new place, but rarely inside.
-
My only complaint with those numbers is that I would hope a guy hitting .311 would at least walk enough to have a .350 OBP. But sometimes those come later when you've established that your enough of a threat that they pitch more carefully.
-
With those numbers if they thought enough to put him on the roster I love the idea of going to Peralta and being ready to have a quick hook. If you get Amazing Peralta he basically finishes the game and then you have anyone you want in game 5.
-
W-- for the record I agree give Jeremy tomorrow off
-
Given the Dodgers almost tied game 1 I'm not sure how we didn't need to use him in Game 1. Basically the entire bullpen is available tomorrow, so you have a ton of options to try and prevent big innings without Hader. Perhaps the crazier thing is how close this series is to the Brewers being up 3-0
-
They seem very hesitant to use Hader in back to back games. If that is the case pitching him tonight makes sense then you get to use him in games 3 and 5.

Arcia intentionally sand bagged the whole season to save those HRs
-
I thought you guys were exaggerating how bad the FS1 postgame was in prior threads. But the first 2 minutes convinced me otherwise. Enjoying the win.
-
5 run lead 2 innings to go now I like going to Peralta to see if we can finish it out and leave a lot of weapons on the able for Game 2

After 6 perfect streaming inning my Sling starts giving me a terrible feed. Does network traffic really jump that much at 9:30 on a Friday night?
