Cubs (Brown) vs Brewers (Priester): 5/2/25, 7:10pm
liveforoctober replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
I know this sounds easy to say after the fact... but when I heard Alexander was starting my first thought was "oh dang, I hope Priester didn't get whatever bug is going around.." and then immediately thought "no, Murphy is probably trying to do the Counsell thing and start a lefty so the Cubs load up on RHB and then switch to Priester after an inning or something stupid like that.." I think Murphy out thought himself a bit. -

I am just getting here and have no desire to go back and read through the game thread so if this was mentioned I apologize AND THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR ANYBODY but I don't love the "opener" thing if you have a starter planned to come in after. If it's a bullpen game, then fine. Those guys do that. But let the starter have his routine. I know, I know. Just saying.. -
Oh sorry, I was referring to the 19 innings he had pitched with Milwaukee up until that point.
-
Fantastic. Goodnight friends!
-
I know this is in blue but yes. For the sanity of this forum, this is the most important game of the first half for us. I can't imagine the bellowing if he goes 6+ scoreless tonight :(
-
We are done with Priester after 19 innings? Dang, tough crowd.

I've lost track of how many MLB stadiums this is thus far.. I need to go back and count.

The first step of the Jeremy Jeffress arc for Devin Williams has now been completed.
-
Webb is fun to watch. His stuff moves so much and he looks like a bulldog out there.
-
Oh those Mudcats are coming...
-
Thanks ump.
-
He needs to chill otherwise we will be looking at 2b contract comps and trying to buy out his remaining years before the '26 season. Turang is earning a hefty pay raise through these first few weeks.
-
Golly, this made me wince. Great grab, but don't do that again young man.
-
What the heck, why not? If we lose Capra we still have Mona in 3A who is the same player. Gage only had 17 at bats this year? I feel like Bauers never sees the field and he has 24. 6'4 and his power could play in MKE ... heck go get the kid. It would be nice to have another lefty option that can cover short if need be to spell Joey and not move Brice.

Joc Pederson is in an 0-41 stretch
-
I'm watching the A's/Rangers on MLB Tv and Dallas Braden is one of the A's TV guys and he is absolutely unbearable to listen to. Felt like I needed to say that.

The Craig Yoho "prototype"
liveforoctober replied to liveforoctober's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
I love that puzzle part of it. The Brewers need a "fan suggestion" email box. If I knew I could help the team by reading scouting reports of D3 submarine arms in Vancouver .. I would probably do it. -
love throwing the graphic up right before the pitch. well done bally.
-
...and at the price he is commanding. Would I rather have Frankie Montas at $17 or Q at $4 ... it is crazy.
-
Man that hand guard Chourio wears has to be annoying...
-
Durbin can stay.
-
I dunno, if they want to give Ortiz the day off the 2b/SS/3b combo is going to be Turang, Capra, and Durbin no matter which way you place them. Unless there is a glaring hole defensively in one of those combos .. why ruffle the feathers of multiple guys? Keep Brice and Durbin in their spots and just play Vinny at SS. That would be my thought.
-
The usual suspects will probably run with that headline/quote but is almost assuredly nothing. His agent and the Brewers certainly chatted throughout the year and they gave a ballpark of where they were going to be and so when the off season came there was nothing to discuss. Was Arnold and Co supposed to reach out in November and say "Hey I know you said a few months ago you were looking for 7yrs and between $180-200 mil but now that the time is here I was wondering if you would consider 4yrs and $65m?"

The Craig Yoho "prototype"
liveforoctober replied to liveforoctober's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
..and I guess that is my question. Relative projection vs. Specific projection. If we are just looking at college pitchers in the middle rounds and saying "I think Player A could add some command, I think Player B could minimize the noise in his wind up and increase length, etc" that is very case by case specific. Is it plausible that a better strategy to maximize value in those rounds COULD be looking at the Craig Yoho prototype and saying "we need to find every guy that throws at least xx mph that has glove side spin rates at xxx and, after reasonable scouting, he has never tried/we think he can develop a counter pitch with similar spin rates... and just draft that same guy 4 times in the draft? I'm just thinking out loud, if it is a crap shoot as much as it is already ... Yoho makes me stop in my tracks and say "well what happened here and how can we do that again?" -

...and I know any scout reading me asking these elementary questions would roll their eyes. But selfishly I am curious what their scouting process is in more detail. When I hear someone say a draft pick "has a live arm" .. ok. Does that just mean he throws 96? Or does it mean we think he has the ability to manipulate a baseball in 3 separate directions? What kind of arm is most worthy of a mid round pick?
