    This is your best work.

    At the risk of stretching the metaphor, If a team was a pudding, and that team got to the playoffs "every year," I would keep coming back for seconds, yes.

    This is a must-watch for anyone curious about what national baseball people think of the Brewers and their front office... The video starts when they start talking about the Brewers.

    This is a must-watch for anyone that thinks the Brewers' Front Office is suspect. I tried to start it at the point when the two national baseball guys begin talking about the Brewers...

    And he keeps throwing strikes!! Even after giving up an Ohtani-dong. He's been incredibly impressive to date.

    Good point. My guess is they'd move Turang over and have Durbin play 2nd, and Suarez at 3rd. Probably Monasterio, in reality, yes. But if reports are to be believed, Pratt would have the best glove available.

    Maybe Counsell was eager for a fresh challenge, and saw an opportunity to do his ol' college coach a solid by moving on (and getting paid)? Doesn't mean I won't still boo him😛

    I've been telling every casual sports fan I know that THIS team is fun to watch that way. Perhaps the first Brewers team I've ever stumped for that way --- even when they are pitching!

    More than anything, I wanted to take advantage of the recent interest in the Brewers to take the pulse of how the hard-core fanbase felt about said unheralded players. For myself, I think the Brewers still need a big bat to truly be competitive throughout the playoff journey. I also think that there are few options that would represent a "big bat." Therefore, I wonder if it isn't in the best interests of the organization to use the next two trade windows to set themselves up for 2026-2028. But I also would be excited if they traded for Suarez. I think a move like that would really rally the fanbase and the clubhouse to give the squad the energy needed for a NL Central title.

    I agree with your metaphor completely. I wouldn't trade a dollar bill for 4 quarters of pitching, no. But a dollar-pitcher for a dollar-hitter?
  13. Playing Catch
    Since we're talking hypothetical trade-value, how many of those pitchers equal one Miz? I guess I'm asking because I don't think trading him now would be a terrible idea, presuming the kind of return you could get. Is one Misiorowski worth Gasser, Crow, Patrick, Myers, AND Henderson?

    The three of them, together, are worth more than the sum of their parts because of the instant depth they would provide to every single team in baseball.

    Are the Brewers as good as their MLB-leading record and recent run of dominance?

    Black probably should have pinch-run for Vaughn in the 6th... He probably could also have dropped the last out of the game, like Vaughn did. Edit to add: I'm thrilled with Vaughn on the team. His plate discipline has been something to behold, and really adds a dimension to the lineup that the lineup was lacking.
  18. Playing Catch
    I agree with everything you wrote --- but you don't think the A's would consider a Wilson for Misiorowski trade?
  19. Playing Catch
    Rice is better than Bauers... but not much better. It's really hard to get a read on the value of the Brewers pitchers right now, because simply wearing the Brewers uniform makes them two standard deviations better than if they were wearing any other uniform. What IS Chad Patrick's value?? Eighteen good big-league starts is a healthy-enough total to start extrapolating, at least a little bit.
  20. Playing Catch
    Or Misiorowski, Henderson, Myers, Patrick, Gasser, Ashby, Hall, Crow, Hardin, et. al... I agree with you, but I don't think it's out of the question, nor should it be summarily dismissed in the trade forum. Why wouldn't the Angels consider trading Neto, or the A's consider trading Wilson for The Miz, or a collection of prospects including Made or Pratt? Why wouldn't the Brewers consider acquiring those [nearly] proven MLB infielders with team control? If the Brewers are worried about their gloves at SS, just put them at third. In this league, their bats are good enough for 3rd base. Heck, Bregman has made a lot of money being a "lighter" hitter at 3rd rather than a good hitting, below-average defensive shortstop.

    I've been saying it for years, and we see it all over the sports landscape... Bad ownership = Bad teams Good ownership = Good teams Attanasio is a good owner because the proof is in the pudding. We hear it in his interviews. He wants to win. He values the fan experience. He spends time talking about hiring "good" people. Valuing "good" people, at every level of the organization, from front office staff to the players and their families. He values their contributions outside of their impact on the field. Now I'm sure there are stories behind the scenes where some individuals have felt differently, but from my vantage-point, he is not a stereotypical greedy multi-millionaire, he's a guy who values people and communities who happens to be a multi-millionaire. Those people DO exist.

    I know it was a late Friday night game, but I'd recommend fans go back and watch Priester's performance at Dodger Stadium. It was one of the best pitching performances from a Brewers pitcher this season. I don't think there's anything controversial about saying that. It was really, really fun to watch. His sinker was unhittable. He was dotting all four quadrants. 10Ks in 77 pitches of shutout ball through six innings. 4+ pitches (I think he threw a changeup a couple of times). Seeing how excited he was talking to Hook and Henderson in the dugout after being pulled was fun to see, too. Judging body language is dumb, particularly after the adrenaline-rush brought on by dominating the greatest team ever assembled, but he looked like a player that saw what his big-league future COULD be. If one were to only have watched that game, they would come away feeling like Priester is an ace, and one of the best pitchers in the game. He should be brimming with confidence and belief that he can become just that.

    Joey O finishes it.
  24. Playing Catch
    Great job by the bottom of the order to put pressure on the Dodgers. Just beautiful design, and strong execution. Brilliant managing by Murphy, too. Durbo and JoeyO leading the way.
