  1. Not inclined to sign up for Netflix again just to watch the game.
  2. Very disappointing when you are gifted 4 walks to only score 3, up around that 40 pitch inning you gotta either keep taking the walks or find a solid single to make it a huge inning
  3. Worked out OK, but what a terrible start so far for Canning
  4. Looks like Rengifo could have challenged that first strike
  5. Canning couldn't find the plate at a buffet right now.
  6. Quirks of the schedule means Miz has started 9/40 games so far meaning just multiplying by 4 is an over estimate. But on pace for 204 innings and 320Ks, which would be the 40th highest total of all time for a season leader. Everyone else ahead of him either pitched in the 1800s or is named Clemens, Schilling, Johnson, or Ryan
  7. I do as well, gotta see if he can keep developing into a pitcher that can at least threaten to go deeper into a game from time to time
  8. Very curious to see if the Miz comes out for the 7th.
  9. I like winning game 1 of a series and then having Miz start game 2. And Harrison for game 3
  10. I'm OK calling it a likely 'miss' based on the current results. But not all misses are equal. At some point if you do enough trades, the guys you send out will have really good years afterward based on expectations, and the players you get back will have much worse performance than expected. For me the distinction is partly looking at the overall rate on a lot of trades, and the Brewers generally seem to keep coming out positive the majority of the time. The second consideration is what you don't want are misses where the players leaving turn into difference makers and not just contributors. Especially over multiple years. If Collins has a 3-4 WAR season that stings a little, but at the end of the day you won't look back and be like I can't believe we traded away Collins a few years down the line. Oddly enough while the injury limits his chances there is still time and talent for Zerpa to come back and also have a dominant season with the Brewers.
  11. The results so far have looked pretty good for Yoho, but does he look close to ready to help in the MLB bullpen. Not an immediate need, but it would be nice to add someone who could be a true weapon out of the pen, and not just a solid arm.
  12. The logic is basically that he is currently throwing more pitches faster than anyone else before him in recorded history. So even with good mechanics he has to be putting larger than average strain. And at least from my perspective at this stage injury risks with most pitchers are high enough that I would worry about any long term commitment being a challenge to overcome for the team once you start talking lost years and 20+ million a year. Very different calculus, if you are looking at extension years towards quality arms and you are paying less than 10 million for an injury like Ashby.
  13. Ashby and Peralta were very solid signs because the salaries were low enough that the team risk was relatively low. I just don't think there was ever a point in Miz's development where he would have been willing to sign for a low enough number to justify the risk for us (unless maybe he had hired Keith Law as his agent). Which is OK he is clearly a special talent.
  14. I think that qualifies the Miz for unquestioned ace status.
  15. While I would love to enjoy a 15 year HOF career from Miz, can a guy throw that hard for that long and not have an injury?
  16. I will take a 7 pitch AB and RBI groundout from Ortiz
  17. A little bit extra batting average and basically the rest all being improvement in SLG seems like pretty good evidence of a slightly livelier ball. I don't mind OPS average in the mid .700s is very reasonable
  18. Why not wait until camp at this point?
  19. If the goal is the World Series there is an argument that facing the Dodgers right away might be the best path. Just have to sneak in 2 road wins...
  20. Given that in general the Brewers see a lot of pitches they should also accumulate more challengeable pitches. And without getting more challenges there is a bias towards them having more called strikes outside the zone, and even challenge rate. I'm not sure how to quantify the magnitude of the effect. But thought it was worth pointing out, even if the overall message is still that there is room for improvement.
  21. I have enjoyed it over the decades. Watched it a bit early on, then caught it here or there, but eventually did a full run on streaming 8 years ago or so and stayed up to date since. The LA spinoff was pretty good too
