    Rea is averaging less than 12 pitches/inning. Impressive!

    How about "moist"?

    My sons and I were out on the deck watching it on my laptop. We came in later and my wife asked, "What was all the cheering about?" Such a great moment.

    I just passed you for HRs Luis!

    I generally ignore the first game a pitcher pitches. I'm sure we work on evaluations on pitches and combinations with him... I'm more interested on how he does in the next two or three. See what changes are made, how he executes as he gets more comfortable.

    I have a feeling that we will see many creative responses to this new rule. People doing things that the NFL never envisioned (thus either prompting many new rules or a reversion back). Seems like everyone is being very secretive about how they handle kickoff practice. They will play vanilla in the preseason and then the curveballs will come out in the regular season.

    Nice! @nate82 quoted as saying the Bears aren't any good! 😂

    I know it started with Love's contract, but Chief's talk could move to the NFL thread... 😉 I have to say that I'm not a fan of the all-white helmet. Part of me wants to like it... but with everything white, it is just too much. Maybe if they could jazz up the uniform a bit more the white helmet wouldn't look so stark.

    Just from the point that he basically skipped AAA, wasn't hitting well early, and wasn't playing were the main reasons people wanted him to go down (like myself). People simply wanted him in a position to succeed and he wasn't getting many ABs for a time. To their credit, the Brewers committed to Chourio more and it is amazing what he has done the last two months and so consistently: June: 315/363/534/897 July: 317/365/512/876 Hope he can keep it up and steal away the ROY! 😁

    In his current state, Wiemer does suck. So does Montas. I advocated most of the 2nd half of last year to have him go to AAA and work on his swing. He has value in the MLB for his defense, but there are many, many guys to be had for free that can do that (e.g. Blake Perkins). If he can figure out his swing and hit for any sort of average, his upside is high (i.e. Hoskins that plays excellent OF D). So value he does have...but he also has a lot of risk attached to that value. I think the bigger key to this deal was Junis. Something was odd there. Even when healthy, he barely pitched. his results were decent this year, but the Brewers (despite initial plans) only gave him one start. I'm guessing Wiemer was the upside piece to move Junis. Montas has his own upside promise (his pre-NYY results were excellent) and might be able to regain something this year.

    He isn't worth nothing. We just traded him for pitching. He just isn't a high prospect. And yes, I believed that before the trade. His draft profile was that his swing had big holes in it. His performance last year was that he had big holes in his swing. I hoped he went to AAA this year to fix it, but sounds like it didn't go so well either. His floor is Blake Perkins which is worth something... but not tons.

    My wife and I went to see Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot and enjoyed it. This is based on a real town in the 90s where 22 families adopted 77 children out of the foster care system. They show a lot of the hard and dark times in adoption as well as the blessings that come. Perhaps less impactful to those that haven't been touched by adoption as it isn't entertainment, but a real-life story.

    While it certainly won't help the smaller schools, I'm not sure too many good players will prefer to sit on the bench when they could start elsewhere.

    Nice to see a few others of you jump on the "rookie contract QB" being overrated bandwagon. 😂 I think the idea is attractive because it makes sense logically (great QB on the cheap) and spend $$ elsewhere. But in practice it rarely plays out that way. Most the time, the QB needs time to develop and grow in the position to be good enough to win a SB. And ironically, 3 of the 5 QBs listed (Brady, Warner, Wilson) weren't high draft picks (6th, UDFA - cut multiple times, and 3rd). The better indicator of winning a SB is simply having a top QB - one capable of putting up HOF numbers. If that means it takes a few years to develop him to get there... then so be it. We (probably) have our third in a row.

    BABIP isn't a stat you can simply "stop" and use. If I were playing in the MLB, my BABIP would also be low, but I can assure you that it wouldn't be because of "luck". 😉 If his BABIP is low, you need to go look at his hit stats (line drive %, launch angle, exit velocity, etc..). If all he is doing is hitting weak ground balls, a low BABIP isn't luck. Huira in LAA this year: average EV: 82.2 (90.1 career) Launch Angle: 6.3 (15.5 career) Barrel: 0% (13.6 career) Hard Hit %: 23.5% (43.6% career) Ground Ball 64.7% (39.5% career) Yeah, his BABIP is earned, not luck.

    I would assume this is more of an approach to not recreate everyone into the latest hot trend in hitting. The major part of getting someone to change is to convince them this change is what they want. I'm sure the players get plenty of feedback, a variety of options and ways to improve, and let the hitter play with the options...
  17. CheezWizHed
    Well, that is still in the top 25% of the Big10 these days, right?
  18. CheezWizHed
    Seems like a candidate to move to an RP role instead of struggling as an SP?
  19. CheezWizHed
    I'm hoping for a lot of "steals"! I'm rooting for all of them to play well and make the decision a difficult one! 😉

    Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl...this is my other brother Darryl. Classic

    Does that really matter to people when trading for him? Oh, this guy was great 8 years ago... Milner has been very good for 2 years (and terrible before that), so it isn't like he is a "flash in the pan". If someone is going to trade for Milner, it will because they think he can produce something more like the last two year instead of what he is doing now. The comp with Chafin is simply that they are both 33 year old LH RPs (Chafin at the time the Brewers traded for him) that are/were having down years. Not saying there is a huge market for Milner, but it can happen. He is left-handed for pete's sake!!!!

    Don't knock the 80s man! I think these colors remind me more of the late 60s/early 70s with the pastels and psychedelic patters. I miss the days when we mocked the 70s and left the 80s alone. 😂
  23. CheezWizHed
    Andrew Chafin had similar numbers last year at the time we traded for him as Milner has this year. Not saying people will be falling over themselves to get Milner from us. Just saying it is possible. Being left-handed gets him more opportunities.
  24. CheezWizHed
    Can you explain what you mean by this? I didn't see anything this summer, but what I recall of AJax playing last year was that he was constantly active...but not necessarily out of control active. Any examples of being a "spaz?"
  25. CheezWizHed
    And no worries... you have much better credibility than others in the past that "heard something". I just couldn't resist a laugh. 😉
