    There is no guarantee obviously, but I would have to imagine Peralta would get an uptick in effectiveness having Contreras call his games again. Add in the familiarity factor and I'm also on board pending cost.

    I'm assuming there are rules that I'm unaware of. Why do we have to sign him this off-season? Is it so he can rehab in our facilities?
  3. liveforoctober
    Did you make that up? Fantastic nickname.

    I guess I don't see the harm... If he comes back for the '28 season and takes an invite contract to prove himself and then it converts to a low guarantee, high performance bonus major league deal if he makes the team .. that doesn't cripple anyone. If he can't throw then he can retire.

    He said something in his presser today "Whether it's now or whether it's when I'm 50 I'm going to have to have this surgery again"... If that is true then I understand the thinking of getting it done now when you are younger and can heal faster... and if you can make it through and still have something to offer the league - I think it makes sense to have his mindset now with intent.

    Well we know that Chourio was talked to about challenging last night..

    There are assumptions being made over what was/wasn't said and talked about in the FO and between FO and player. Unless facts are known, isn't it easier to create a favorable scenario rather than create a negative one? I'll make one up quick. They promoted Jones for a few days knowing they would DFA him as soon as a replacement elsewhere became available or when Hamilton was back, keeping Leonard as depth and giving Jones an option to be claimed to get an opportunity elsewhere. Then when they acquired Shewmake -> Leonard asked for his release to see if there was another opportunity available to him. If so, best of luck and thank you. If not, resign a MiLB deal and come back in a week. We did this same thing already this year with both Strzelecki and Waguespack. Of course you could be right and the Brewers fumbled him away. But I can only assume if he has trade value he would have been dealt already... So isn't the above scenario both ethical in trying to preserve depth for the team but also doing right by the players to give them him a chance elsewhere if it wasn't to be here?

    Matos with 1 HR per 13 at bats as a barely 17 yr old with his 175lb frame while holding the hit tool is... a stat I would like to highlight.

    I largely don't have an opinion. My only piece is I can't deal when someone burns a challenge with no one on base and no one out in the 2nd inning on a 1-1 pitch. Mr. Sanchez, this at bat and this scenario does not warrant this ever. It would have to be fairly egregious for me to challenge something that early in a nothing situation. .. and yes, the golden rule in the NFL is you don't take timeouts into halftime. It isn't the same here but that 'rule' should be shouted from the rooftops in certain scenarios. Bottom of the 9th and we have guys in scoring position to end the game ... if there is any doubt at all, burn them up. No questions.

    The fact he is playing on a $950k contract is incredible. Whatever arbitration bump he gets next year is worth it to us x3. Fortunately for the Brewers/unfortunately for him I imagine the Brewers still hold good leverage in that scenario and he will be playing next year on another favorable contract?

    I imagine Perkins is the move because it is easy. Baddoo would be a nice guy to have now if he wasn't hurt :( Quietly after a real slow start, Hurtubise had a really good June (.333/.419/.444) and a good start to July (.292/.414/.500). He is a lefty bat option. Would need a 40 man move, maybe Baddoo to the 60 day depending on his recovery (he is already nearing one month).

    In his presser after the "I'll let him announce what he's going to announce" quote... Murphy said (paraphrase) "it's tragic knowing what he meant to this organization and what he meant to this year's team".. I don't remember it word for word but he spoke in past tense both times. So, yeah.. don't need to guess too much that his season, at minimum, is over.

    Haha, that's funny. I did see O'Rae stole his 40th base tonight... I have to imagine that is it.
  14. liveforoctober
    I might be a touch premature but I'm ready for B Ebel to be in Appleton. His numbers have only climbed after about the 5th week of the year. Shove all of the shortstops in the system up a peg.

    Yoho might need to be removed from the shuttle. Tell him to unpack his bags and stay awhile.
  16. liveforoctober
    I'm not sure that throw from short center could have been worse haha

    Do we know what our record is for highest percentage of draft picks signed in the 20 rd era?
  18. liveforoctober
    I need a software update in my brain. "Matos" currently still auto populates to "Luis" in my mind and I don't want that to be the case. Thank you for declaring "Blue" and "DSL" in your follow up because I would have been looking up Nashville numbers to figure out what I have been missing...
  19. liveforoctober
    Shout out to Matt Arnold for making a move to give us something to talk about during the break.
  20. liveforoctober
    Whether intentional or not, this was a nice little way for the Brewers to steal half of a month for both Harrison and Miz in the heart of everything. Hopefully this is a great reset opportunity for both and they come back swinging for the dog days ahead. If they skip skip one start for Miz out of the break I won't think twice about it.. If they skip a second start, you will see my ears perk up real fast.

    What do we see that is good? Bad? Odd?

    This will get far deeper than it needs to, but once I realized long ago that I don't know anything... My life changed. Even the things I think I know a lot about.. I almost always find out at some point that I actually know nothing about them. Learning is awesome. "Building puzzles" is awesome. Being involved is awesome. But most things don't have answers... So all you can do is try your best and see how things unfold. I haven't had anxiety in a decade because of it. I don't know anything and very few people do. Just try your best and talk about it. Let it play out and we will find out together.

    This will be the same conversation every season and I don't mind it... it is good baseball talk. The irony though is that the reason the Brewers are in the position to allow a fan to have the opinion of "we need to go for it at the deadline and bring in some difference makers while we have a Top 5 team" is BECAUSE they operate in the exact opposite fashion.
  24. liveforoctober
    You are working on the assumption there is someone out there who can do such a thing. Which acquisition at the deadline last year would have beat the Dodgers for us?
  25. liveforoctober
    Specifically he mentions Hader - which is and isn't surprising if Josh said great things. Felt like Stearns did him dirty both in arbitration hearings as well as the exit. If he is still saying good things... good on our people.
