    If Oregon and Washington leave the Pac12 will be officially dead with Colorado leaving for the Big 12 and it looks like ASU and Arizona are going to follow with Utah probably following with them. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oregon-washington-to-big-ten-has-become-coin-toss-as-pac-12-makes-last-attempt-to-salvage-league/

    Liking the aggressiveness today swinging at 1st pitch strikes.

    Yeah playing the Pirates again!

    Hiura played enough games in September in 2022. He played 9 games at 1B, 7 games at DH, 1 game in LF and 1 at 2B. Hiura put up a .167/.227/.283 for a 41 wRC+ in September compared to McCutchen who put up a .202/.330/.357 for a 97 wRC+ in September. Hiura got enough chances in September and he failed at doing anything positive with them and not it wasn't because he was being jerked around he just sucked. You may want to look things up because that is just a complete dumb statement to make.

    I think it will be a quiet off season for the Brewers. I don't expect Burnes or Woodruff to be traded maybe on Adames. Obviously the Brewers won't be in on Ohtani and there really isn't a bat other than Ohtani that would be worth a long term contract either. Pitching wise the only good options are Ohtani, Stroman and Urias after that it is a bunch of meh. It should be a good off season to trade pieces but I just don't see the Brewers doing this and I believe they will just keep Burnes and Woodruff. I think they trade Lauer and Houser for lottery tickets but I think that is all the Brewers will do this off season.

    People spelling Wiemer incorrectly......

    Heels season 2 started last week. The first episode was good. If you haven't watched season 1 it is on STARZ but it is a really good series.

    Turang will always be a BABIP driven hitter and when he has his chase rate low he will be good enough offensively. When his chase and K rates start to rise he will be replacement level offensively. The power will probably never come but that should be fine for your #8 or #9 hitter. Frelick will probably be the same though he looks to have better bat to ball skills than Turang. Frelick should have a higher average but both look to be weak power wise.

    Probably disappointed but sometimes it is best to just hold where you are at. Sometimes buying turns you into the 2018 Pirates a team that probably should have sold but instead bought. They probably could of bought off of the margins but there really wasn't anything to buy on the margins for starting pitching this deadline.

    Assessing if he should be in AA or AAA next year would mostly be the decision of if they want him to be playing in the cold or would they rather see him develop in a warmer climate in Biloxi. I think this is why they put him in AA than in A+ where he barely played to start the year this year. Something similar maybe behind that for Chourio. Also AAA isn't really all that big of a step up from AA. The biggest jump in the minors is going from A to AA. I wouldn't be surprised if Chourio starts on opening day for the Brewers either. I still think the plan is for Chourio to finish out the year in AA.

    Strike out less than 25% of the time in AAA. Probably would need to be in the teens in AAA for teams to take Hiura seriously.

    Arnold’s contract expires after this season. Though I expect Arnold to be resigned and they are just waiting to see if they need to promote anyone so they can refuse teams from interviewing.
  14. nate82
    I thought Urias was going to be traded but I thought it would have been the Nationals picking him up. Value wise he is probably worth less than what the Brewers received. Probably closer to $1mm in excess value or just a bit less.
  15. nate82
    Hiura clone with more team control.
  16. nate82
    But I thought Stearns was telling Eppler what to do last year and this offseason?
  17. nate82
    Stearns sabotaging the Brewers again!!!!
  18. nate82
    Frelick is looking over matched the last few games. Probably best to send him back to AAA once Canha arrives.

    Baseball savant is basically MLB. The strike zone on that site is about 90% accurate. It is not exactly the same as the one umpires are graded on but it is the closest one we have. The strike zone on baseball savant can be off a bit depending on where the teams have their cameras setup at their stadiums.

    Not sure what you mean by this. The last pitch was too close to take.
  21. nate82
    Burger is closer to Hiura than he is to Adames offensively, both K way too much to be anything but boom or a lot of bust well mostly bust 60% of the time.
  22. nate82
    I think the plan for Chourio is to finish out the season in AA. It was extremely aggressive putting him at AA to start the year. I think he stays there for the whole year and the Brewers will assess if he should be in AA or AAA to start next year. Now Black I could definitely see getting to AAA after the deadline and I wouldn't be surprised if Black is starting the year with the Brewers and skipping AAA completely next year.

    Scott Barlow is probably my #1 target for the Brewers. He has had a really bad July in giving up runs and walks but all of his other underlying stats say he should be pitching better. He would also be under control for 2024 so not a 1-year rental. I think Barlow would solidify the Brewers bullpen giving them another 7th or 8th inning option. I am intrigued with Dylan Carlson but I don't think the Cardinals would trade him within the division. Tommy Pham is another bat I would like to see the Brewers add. I would really like to see the Brewers go '21 Braves and add 2-3 more bats along with a reliever or starter at the deadline. Another name to watch is Laureano though he hasn't hit all that much this year but he has hit lefties ok. It wouldn't cost all that much to get Laureano from the A's probably one or two lottery tickets at most.

    Do you have a source for this because everywhere I look their active total payroll is around $140mm and not $105mm.

    Hiura is probably just going through his normal boom or bust phase like he did last year in Sept/Oct when he got the most PA's the whole year. Hiura's 2022 Sept/Oct splits: 20 games played with 66 PA's .167/.227/.283
