    There are already composite bats. They do have a downside at least for cold weather where they perform worse and are prone to cracking in colder weather. I believe some composite wood bats are allowed in MiLB but I think that is only in short season rookie ball. One problem with a composite bat is that the sweet spot is far larger than it is on a wood bat. For MLB to agree to this it would require the manufacturers of these bats to get a MLB approved bat. That would be another thing on the list for umpires to check which do we really trust an umpire to get this right?

    Yeah I knew that wasn’t right but there was someone around that timeframe they gave a contract to and promised they wouldn’t offer a QO to. I thought it was Grandal but my memory is failing me now on who it was exactly.
  3. nate82
    Yeah may, we won’t know for sure until the off season. A lot of these are just handshake deals or just a wink and a nod deal. I don’t believe there are many where it is explicitly stated. I believe the last one for the Brewers was with Grandal but I could be misremembering that deal.

    The Brewers may have an agreement with Woodruff that they won’t offer him a QO. It may have been part of why he chose the Brewers over the Red Sox and other teams that offered him a contract.

    What is the likelihood of the Brewers winning 100 games now? @sveumrules
  7. nate82
    First team to 70 wins. I think a few people had that as the Brewers total for the year. I don’t believe the Brewers have ever been the first team to 70 wins in a season.

    Maybe 5 at most throughout the whole season. They are still at a 75% success rate at stealing bases it is not as good as last year but I think last year was more of a fluke year. Since 2020 the 2024 Brewers had the best wSB which is your stolen bases and caught stealing runs above average at 14.4. This year the Brewers are at 1.6 which is 8th best in the league. The Reds who were the second best team last year are at 0.1. Caught stealing doesn't impact the game as much as some think it does. It is just another out and the weight of that out isn't any more than a ground out or a pop out. Coming into the game this year the Brewers have been caught the most stealing at 41 but have the second most stolen bases at 127. The Rays are in first with 148 SB and 37 CS. Ideally you want to stay around 75-80% success rate. If you go above 80% you are not attempting enough and if you are below 75% you are attempting too much.

    Whenever I see Nacho Alvarez I can only think of one thing.

    This umpire crew has been bad at calling balls and strikes but they have been better at informing the fans what is going on when an explanation is needed. Most MLB umpires won't even do this because their ego won't let them. These must be new umpires or they have checked their ego at the door. MLB umpires are so frustrating every other sports ref's will explain things but nope only a few in MLB will do the same. So so so frustrating.

    Someone has to be the last guy in the bullpen.

    Sneezing is no joke. I pulled a rib muscle after a workout when I sneezed. One of the worst pains in my life. This was also in HS when I had no idea on how to actually workout and train. I wish I had YouTube then.

    It could also be yesterday they believed it wasn’t as serious but new evidence today states otherwise. Things can change between one day to the next.

    20-9 with a rain canceled game in Cincinnati to be played September 29th.

    What is crazy about NVDA is that they haven't even hit the peak yet. Sovereign AI is a thing and it is coming and guess who is right there ready to take the money from these governments? Yes you guessed it NVDA. The next big thing is quantum computing but it is risky and I think it is still in its infant stage. You could see the stocks fall flat in the next year or they could explode like NVDA did with AI but I think the explosion in quantum computing won't happen for another 5-10 years or longer.

    I feel dumb for not buying more of IONQ, RGTI, QUBT and QBTS. All are up big so far this year well IONQ is up big since I bought it last year at about $8 a share. The others I bought at about $1 a share each. But I didn’t buy as much as I did with IONQ go go go quantum computing!

    All in at ruining their future? Sure the Padres are all in at ruining their future. Other than Miller I don’t see the impact player that the Padres got for going all in.

    There really isn’t an upgrade to Ortiz on the known market at best you are looking at IKF and he is basically Ortiz.
  20. nate82
    One is Ortiz and the other is IKF.
  21. nate82
    Why do you want a second Joey Ortiz on the team? Other than May IKF has been as bad as Ortiz.

    I still believe the NFL is not competitive because of the salary cap and it is more so on how well teams develop a QB. If you look at all of the bad teams in the NFL there is a repeating theme with nearly every single bad team. The development of the QB or the lack there of is the real reason a team fails in the NFL over a period of time. In the NFL you rarely see a young player go into FA and that has more to do with the sport than the salary cap. A lot of a players prime years are locked up early in the NFL. The NFL also doesn’t have the media issues MLB has. If the Brewers were given nearly $500mm before each season started I believe you would see a higher team salary. Unfortunately MLB doesn’t work like the NFL where it is the league handling the media revenue and not each individual team. A salary itself wont bring parity in the league. You would probably still see the same teams dominating.

    That seems overly complex for Doc to follow.

    No but there was a similar reaction to when the Brewers signed Perkins. It was ruled a dumpster fire pickup for both players in their respective off seasons. Sometimes you just get lucky or the scouting department actually knows what they are looking for and have found it in both Collins and Perkins. Though they have struck out on a few others.
