    1987 was my first season as a human being aware of MLB baseball. The Brewers were awesome and fun (and my dad's team/my team....despite living in Twins media territory), winning 91 games and generally being cool about it despite missing the playoffs. The Twins won 85 games and won a World Series that year. So... spite and jealously, mostly. Once the Brewers switched leagues, I've slowly liked the Twins more and more, but not when they play each other.

    I like all the hindsight comments about strategic things like bunting and the contact play...Basically, it is good, fundamental baseball when it works and complete idiocy when it doesn't work. Nice, guys.

    A. Why do you put such trust in MLB's rankings over Tod Johnson's ratings? I am guessing Brewers had all these guys in in their 35-50 range....they decided to grab 4 of them that they like by going under/over slot with these guys (and maybe half agreements with a few more if it so fell that way) rather than grab the 15th best guy on their board at 17, who maybe they don't like much more than any of these guys and having to spend the entire slot, thus not getting any of the other three. So YES, this makes sense to me.

    2 big HS arms, a HS athlete and a college big bopper bat. That's pretty fun, although the fun-ness went in reverse order. Works out fine in the "end." (ask me in 2030)

    I would say that pitching is the strength of the FO/upper end coaching, i.e. it's much easier for this organization to find 25 year old reclamation projects and turn them into productive MLBers than it is to draft 17-20 year old kids and develop them. They are more confident in their scouting of hitters that are draft eligible.

    Somebody will still be around at 33, but it looks like stacking talent later is the way it's going to go. Not as fun for casual fans, but might be smart. Cooper Pratt is as highly ranked as Brock Wilken right now.

    I think Winker knew he should have struck out on the previous pitch, so he just decided to wave at the last one... Usually Umps are only egregiously bad when granting strikes on should have been balls, but on that one the entire ball was within the strike zone....

    More posts like this plz. As it is written, let it be so.

    Just like the Yankees and the Dodgers....

    I'd guess that 30/30 MLB managers, GMs and FOs would disagree....except Murphy last night when he didn't pinch hit for Frelick🙃
  11. Oxy
    You could flip him with Ortiz...but whatever. Just don't stack 3 same handed guys b2b2b.
  12. Oxy
    Frelick has one gigantic wart....0 power whatsoever. Otherwise he's about my favorite player.
  13. Oxy
    2 ER might be tough....but with this strike zone he should do better than 103 pitches thru 4.2...

    Freddy gets the call vs. the rookie....I will kinda miss that once robots take over. Kinda.
  15. Oxy
    This is what I don't understand....I can actually completely understand the idea that the Brewers are playing way above their head and aren't nearly as good as they have played....what I don't understand is the CONSTANT griping about when something bad happens it's like "typical Brewers, " "Who could see that coming with this team?" and predictions of DOOM as if this is a bad team that will continue to be bad....when in fact it has been a very GOOD team in first place...like, I sure hope everything continues to happen just as it has happened!
  16. Oxy
    Clearly then you are hoping for Cijntje, since he has two of them....not unlike other pitchers, but so un-like other pitchers...
  17. Oxy
    There are so many guys in the Show over 30 years old who get thrown out easily there yet would also leg that out as a High Schooler or AA guy....even though their sprint speed at 32 or whatever might be exactly the same as that younger guy....Weird. Yelich is NOT one of those guys. Thank him for that.
  18. Oxy
    Nobody can induce lineouts like Tobias Myers. Nobody.
  19. Oxy
    There's less than 10 guys in the League who score on that....and 5 might be on the Brewers...
  20. Oxy
    I don't see another hit coming from the Pirates.
  21. Oxy
    This game is the epitome of how a team like the Brewers can out-class an expensive Coasty-type team...the first 2 games (on the road!) were obviously an aberration.
  22. Oxy
    Rest during the AS break

    Pure domination today by the Brewers.
