    The amazing thing about this interaction from a psychological standpoint is I'm certain you have interpreted this thread as "they all said Brady House is going to bust" and have assigned a group think reply to everyone here. So if he gets off to a good start you almost assuredly will come back here to tell us the vision you had for one of baseball's top 100 prospects and how wrong we all were.

    My compliment was genuine.

    Your ability to see everything in the past with 20/20 vision is incredible.

    If you could run your rants through Chat GPT and ask it to insert punctuation for the rest of us so we have an idea what you are talking about that would be super helpful. Thanks! Oh and we had no chance of signing Harper. He would have to agree to play here. Both parties get to decide where a player plays, not just the team offering the contract.

    Tyler Alexander just got an at bat for the White Sox. I didn't misspeak.

    Is this the same Mark Canha that didn't get a major league contract from any club and who the Brewers DID sign to a minor league deal this past spring? Or is this a different Mark Canha we are talking about?

    I don't necessarily disagree with anything you've said. He would have pitched if asked. I personally would not have asked once he played his cards. I will also say that prior to this year Vaughn was slightly better than replacement level for his career and is still just 27. Crazier things have happened than him turning himself into a useful major league player. Let's get the White Sox stench off of him and see what we have before giving him the Lamet treatment.

    Civale wasn't likely to pitch for us again after what happened. The options were DFA or trade him for peanuts. What the Brewers got is a former #3 overall pick who we now have a few months head start to work with and gain favor so WHEN he is non tendered and has his pick of a new team, the Brewers have a leg up if they want it. With an open competition seemingly next year at 1B ... Vaughn also has all the reason to work hard and want to stay. It isn't much but it is a glimpse of a something ... which is just about what we were going to get for Civale.

    There, fixed it for you.

    I don't think Vaughn has much of a chance to see the Brewers roster unless they trade Rhys. Bauers' best quality for our team is that he is a LHB option. If we trade him it will be Ernesto coming up to replace ... not Vaughn. Vaughn becomes an option if we need a RHB at 1B after a Rhys trade.

    There is going to be a lot of "Who?!" from Brewers fans watching today when Avans comes in late to pinch run..

    When do the Brewers start getting royalties from the White Sox current rotation?
  13. liveforoctober
    we are sending cash also apparently... https://x.com/Brewers/status/1933547522255171790

    Well, 1/3 of this request has been granted.
  15. liveforoctober
    Dang, looking at the path Vaughn took... He was kind of done a little dirty by the White Sox? He was in A+ ball, then COVID happened, then he debuted with the big league club.. He skipped 2 full levels in the minors.. Whether that is good or bad who knows. Just unique.
  16. liveforoctober
    I agree.. just saying Civale didn't give the situation a second to breathe.
  17. liveforoctober
    I guess the biggest surprise to me with Civale is how quickly he and his agent pulled the trigger on the trade request as it seems. I understand the Brewers could have been talking to him this entire time and letting him know he was the odd man out no matter who it is that comes back or something like that... But I would think if Miz gets lit up in his first start or two that they would send him back down and Civale would be right back in the rotation in a week's time.. But now I'm not sure if that would happen given the sequence of events. He didn't let the process play itself out even just a little bit..

    I understand I'm speaking a little out of pocket when referencing something Hank Aaron said - but "read the seams" usually refers to sitting fastball and watching arm slot/ball in hand from a pitcher to catch his grip and adjust from there. That works when Chris Bosio is throwing you an 88 mph fastball and a 74 mph curve and that is the whole arsenal (no disrespect). Paul Skenes throws like 14 pitches from the same arm slot and they all move a different way. Anyone who says they are reading the spin out of his hand and correctly identifying which way the ball is moving is selling you a song. There is still an aspect of "read the seams" that apply to the game ... but it is more about seeing the grip rather than reading the spin. When an announcer says a pitcher "hides it well" ... he is referring to not allowing a batter to see the grip before release. But even then everyone has tape of everything these days. Lazardo from Philly faced Mil/Tor in back to back starts and gave up a million runs then 5 days later shuts down the best* offense in baseball while striking out 10. Why? He was tipping pitches, saw it on film and fixed it. Batters knew what pitch was coming during his windup ... they weren't correctly identifying the pitch midflight.

    We are on the same page. Cheers!

    Gosh I love Sal.

    Civale is a replacement level pitcher+ who was already on the IL once this year. Clement was a 3.5 WAR player last year and is on pace to beat that this year. The Brewers would have to add Boeve to the deal to get Clement and probably also send along some money to cover the difference in salaries :(

    What a great problem to have.

    My issue is dealing Patrick specifically for "Jerry Hairston". You will likely make our team worse if you traded Patrick for a league average SS right now. The WAR gained going from Ortiz to "Hairston" for the rest of the year(1 WAR added?) would be likely offset or worse by going from Patrick -> replacement in the rotation. So in all likelihood that move is net neutral overall to the team or best case scenario we add 1 win? 2 wins? So we bump from an 82 win team to an 84 win team and have to face the Padres in the wild card regardless? All the while losing half a decade of the top rookie pitcher this year in the NL.

    This is really funny. Hitting/pitching is so different today than during the Kennedy administration. "Read the seams". Paul Skenes would strike out 600 hitters if he pitched in the 70s.
  25. liveforoctober
    Would you trade Chad Patrick for the 2025 version of Jerry Hairston?
