    I know this isn't how baseball works, but I hope Stearns gives us the last right of refusal if it is the Cubs or Cardinals that Peralta is going to. If the Cubs make the best offer than so be it ... but I hope Stearns has enough respect for us that he would come back to say "this is what it is, I'll let you decide if you want to beat it or not".

    I kind of want the Cardinals to stay in this and make a move or two. They are so far ahead of their rebuild schedule.. would like them to get rid of a few young prospects rather than add to the supply.

    Bump

    It does feel like down 2-0 after three innings has been the routine. You could probably parlay the Brewers opponent to have the lead after the first third and the Brewers moneyline into some financial Independence these days..

    My observation through the years is that there are a decent portion of regular posters on these boards who stay away from the IGT because the live game threads are not a good forum for in depth discussion. It's more of a shouting into the void situation. The folks looking for non surface level discussion tend to be the level headed variety so removing them from the pool of posters leaves the IGT largely in the hands of the emotional folks... for better or for worse, respectfully.

    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?
  8. 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.
  14. liveforoctober
    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.
  18. liveforoctober
    Haha, that's funny. I did see O'Rae stole his 40th base tonight... I have to imagine that is it.
  19. 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.
  21. liveforoctober
    I'm not sure that throw from short center could have been worse haha
  22. liveforoctober
    Do we know what our record is for highest percentage of draft picks signed in the 20 rd era?
  23. 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...
  24. liveforoctober
    Shout out to Matt Arnold for making a move to give us something to talk about during the break.
  25. 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.
