0-0 this year. I live outside of Atlanta. The ballpark experience (traffic, parking, 90deg and humid) at Truist is miserable unless you want to spend more than $100 per person, so we enjoyed the sweep from the couch this year. I'm 1-7 in all my previous trips to Truist & Turner. You can thank my pennypinching for not costing us a game or two in that series.😤

Naah, fam. We need that reverse jinx magic. -
I've been trying to figure out my best guess for Woody next year. It's hard to figure. If he had hit free agency injury free, he'd probably be looking at 7 years, 200M+. With the injury and the added recovery year, I think its more like 4 years $80M. I think someone will definitely offer him 80M. I think some team might even push $100M. That kind of depends on where these big spenders are with their luxury tax space. Fangraphs had another writeup on him today. (Congrats to Brewerfanatic's @Michael Trzinski for the shoutout in the article.) He's a great pitcher with an injury that pulled him back from being elite. I hope the Brewers can sign him for 4 years and $80M.

I'd be willing to bet it's very close to the win probability of games that are 1-0 after the first inning. Looking through a couple of those from the past few days on fangraphs, my guess is that an average team would have a .566 winning percentage. Roughly a 92 win season. I think with an elite run-prevention unit (The Brewers) that would jump to well over 100 wins.

I don't ever want this team to mail it in, but... Yelich needs a day. I think a lot of the forum would agree. Many have noted that Frelick still seems a little cautious. We need him to be active when baby Collins arrives. Mona, <s>Haase</s> Jansen, and Lockridge need to stay sharp. Turang is the one I'd like to see in the lineup, just because he's on a bit of a power surge, and I'd love to see that grow.

Not to stray too far from baseball, but I was talking with a few guys who had recently retired. They both worked for part of their careers in small, family-owned businesses, and for large, NYSE-traded megacorporations. Both noted how the smaller organizations did a much better job of finding good people and committing to those people, while the megacorps were just driven by the quarterly earnings report at the expense of people. I don't know that the Brewers and Dodgers are as different as a small business and a megacorporation, but having good people probably helps MKE draw in a few extra fans at the margins, where the Dodgers will always have the casual millions of Angelinos who will throw money at tickets, regardless of the makeup of the team.

Good people who are good to each other and work hard... It's the new moneyball market inefficiency. That might also be true beyond baseball...

OptaStats is officially a Brewers media outlet these days. I love it.

Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
JCREW replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Doesn't this just mean he quit hitting pop-ups? -
Yeah, prove-it deal seems likely. Either MKE or hometown StL.
-
My highly specific prediction: 5 IP, 1R, 1ER, 2H, 2BB, 6K Gives up a homer to Soto, two walks to Nimmo, and a single to McNeil.
-
Is it? Awesome. Make it keep happening.
-
What is wrong with you? Do you hate burgerz???
-
Let's get a third hitting coach. Seitzer is a dude.
-
Sit them all. Siegler is the only outfielder we need.
-
ho, hum, a vaughn home run.
-
I wonder if Collins' likely paternity leave is the reason they didn't IL Frelick. He might have to play through it until Collins is back for sure. Frelick probably wants to play through it anyway.
-
Mark should hire Jemile Weeks as an Assistant to the Associate Manager, then our team would have 2 Weeks.
-
Can confirm. The east ATL got a metric butt-ton of rain this morning, but the west and north sides of town were a lot drier. LET'S GOOOOOOOO!
-
I'd be happy with this. I wish one was a lefty so that Miz coming in for two innings had a different look. Then again, 6' 7" and 102 mph is a little bit different... It would be cool if we got him set up to be a RH 2017-18 Hader for this October.
-
A guess... There's a limit of how many players you can roster on stateside MiLB teams. You must have to have everyone on a roster or IL or something.
-
who knew we would all be looking forward to Quinn Priester starts?!? rainy day in the ATL though. I’m predicting a rainout today and a DH on Wednesday.
-
It would be cool to see Fielder prove wrong all those teams that didn't draft or sign him.
-
They traded Rodriguez from the ACL squad to SDP. Dickinson straight to Carolina?? Would they dare push Ebel or Hughes?
-
While you're at it, I'm gonna also need every possible minor leagure we could have traded for them for the first six years of their MLB career. Even though my opinion changed over the course of the season, I want to be able to prove I was always right.
