Slotting Rotation for Games 1-3
KeithStone53151 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This 100%. I'm surprised by all the people wanting Quintana for game 3, indicating Miz can't pitch on the road or something. Miz is our best available pitcher that can go more than 3 innings, it has to be him today. If we roll out quintana and the brewers lose, there's that much more pressure on an elimination game is that's the concern. We can't just not have Miz pitch because it's a road game. I personally have no concerns whatsoever about him pitching today and/or on the road. -
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25260341-tyrese-haliburton-trolls-brewers-wears-dodgers-cubs-jerseys-during-mlb-playoffs Not sure where the best spot is to share this. If you thought you didn't dislike Haliburton enough...time to double down.

To add fuel to your post, the one under 500 team(Pirates) are 26-24 against the NL West and East combined.

Another thing to look for is hands/fingers. AI seems to have trouble with those and often you'll see an extra finger or something obvious if you look closely. These AI videos are getting increasingly good, wild that this is a topic actually but it's a fair one.

Predict the deadline for Milwaukee
KeithStone53151 replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
With so many at one park, he might see the ball specifically well at that park. His BA is 20 points higher and obp is 50 points higher at home as well. It doesn't take a ton of dissecting, hitting twice as many hr at home vs on the road in the same number of games makes you wonder why. It's a small enough sample that it could be variance, but I would be less concerned about his bat not translating if the split wasn't so dramatic. -
Predict the deadline for Milwaukee

While this is probably a good year to spend some guys with value on upgrades...considering the value guys like Myers, Henderson, Patrick, etc should have...I don't want to go for Suarez. I quickly looked at his splits, and 27 of his 36 home runs were hit at Chase or Coors fields. Add to it his poor defense and baserunning, and he doesn't really seem like a fit here. He might be as a DH, but as you've noted, the bidding should be pretty intense and we should probably not give up what it would take to get Suarez. Most likely the Brewers will grab an arm on the cheap(probably one with options), an upgrade on the left side of the infield, and a 1b/corner of/DH type as our biggest upgrade. In all cases, it will probably be players that nobody is talking about...as the Brewers do a great job not leaking to the Rosenthals of the world. -
Jacob Misiorowski is an All-Star
KeithStone53151 replied to wiguy94's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't mind the chaos honestly. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, he'll be just fine. I personally am enjoying all the tears from the crybaby cubs and phillies players/fans. Keep them coming, it's a mere appetizer to the ones we'll get in October when we're playing baseball and their fans shift their hopes for success to the hopeless Caleb Williams. -
I have seen really close ones as well. I think in a real game...we wouldn't see close ones like that challenged aside from key situations as you only get 2 incorrect challenges. It's in a testing phase and I think guys want to test it. The process is generally pretty quick and there are only a couple per game, it's faster than any other type of challenge by a wide margin. It would definitely be better if the result came in quicker and they showed the pitch tracking shortly after the result came in. Over the years, I have generally tried not to get upset about missed calls that are within a half inch of the zone. For me that's a pretty reasonable margin for error. Pitches like this one that are 2-3 inches high at least for a strike out...having a mechanism to fix that is absolutely worth the minor delays a few times a game for me.
-
Would have been hilarious to have this when Hernandez was still an ump. Can you imagine how long those games would be with all the challenges?
-
I've seen this tested in spring training games. It seems the idea is, a hitter/catcher/pitcher can challenge a call immediately after a pitch. They cannot get help from a coach or anyone else. 2 challenges per game. You only lose a challenge if the on field call is confirmed. Curious the thoughts of others on this. Here's one I saw today.
-
I think you make good points here, I have wondered if the high price of sports tickets prices in general among other things has turned people off of sports(tv rights as well). Younger people generally seem less interested in sports in my experience...especially baseball. I'm sure this has been studied. I wonder if sports in general are peaking right now and if a potential downward trajectory is coming for their revenues.
-
I don't really see any issue with the ticket costs. As others have noted, it's significantly lower on average than other major sports. Concessions and parking costs are a bit wild to me, but as noted those can be resolved very cheaply for most people with a small amount of planning. I personally dropped my 20 pack this year, primarily due to the lack of value in resale. I had been going to roughly half the games and selling half. The amount I'm able to get has remained constant over the years, while prices keep going up a couple bucks every year. My seats would have been $52/ticket this year and probably only can get $40/ticket in resale. My plan is to take advantage of the discount days and try buying at the last minute on resale markets to take advantage of the panic selling.

I was sitting here trying to figure out how a -75 launch angle qualified as a hard hit ball, eventually realizing the chart indicates bat speed...not hard hit. bat speed to launch angle doesn't really tell us much, except that maybe he should swing less at 100% and more at 95%...which is probably attributable to all hitters(I see you Carlos Gomez).
-
This trade to me, seems like the Yankees are big mad about not getting Soto and their front office is just clicking buttons. Or, they know more about Nestor's elbow injury than we do...
-
We can also trade SP at any point. Almost every team in baseball can almost always use a good SP.
-
We're getting a better player for less money this year plus one additional year of team control...AND we're getting a prospect. Which part is "yuck"? AND, neither player coming back has a wall-punching celebration in their scouting report
-
Nasty Nestor...
-
I hope Turang hits leadoff. He's in good form and 3/3 career against Manaea. I suspect we're more likely to load up RH bats 2-6 and have mitchell/frelick hit 7. I'm hoping for Turang, Chourio, Contreras, Hoskins, Adames, Sanchez, Frelick/Mitchell, Ortiz, Perkins. Often against lefties, Perkins hits 2nd. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen today even if I'm generally good with him starting today. over one of the lefties. Does anyone know if Woodruff is available to pinch hit?
-
I'm not super concerned about the Brewers missing resilience. Murph will get the best out of our guys today. Winning is obviously a different story, hopefully we can pull it out.
-
Good results in his first outing. His fastball is very straight, would like to see the front office suggest a 2 seam and get some arm-side run. Twice he caught guys guessing...that won't happen as teams see him more.
-
I don't think the Reds are assuming he's going to figure it out. They probably think there's a chance. Hypothetically, if 20% of the time Wiemer turns into a 3-4 WAR player for 5 years and 80% chance he doesn't get back to the majors...there's still value there. The Brewers weren't going to give him away for free, and considering how much starting pitching costs...it's safe to say at least the reds value Wiemer fairly high considering Junis was basically a salary offset. He's also not a long term investment unless he's good...they don't have to spend 3 years developing him. Give him a year, if they don't get anywhere...move on.
-
You're ignoring the physical tools again and too focused on what he's done lately. The upside if Wiemer makes enough adjustments to hit 240/250 and tap into his power is quite high. Clear value in his upside. It's also absolutely possible a team thinks they can unlock something in Wiemer. The Brewers are top tier at developing pitching...specifically bullpen arms. Hitting is a different story.
-
I imagine the prospects the White Sox are getting is a lot, and the Cardinals are paying the highest price as they got the most value. That said, I've been very anti-Fedde all year. Primarily I think he is at his absolute peak right now and I'm not buying his improvement from pre-Japan. The Cardinals also don't have jedi-Molina over there anymore to make every pitcher be good.
-
I reeeeeeeeally don't want to defend this trade. I agree with most of this. However, why is he extremely unlikely to get better? He's only 25. Or do you mean he's unlikely to produce better than he has given the likely regression? To add to your point a bit...because I'm just not going to miss a chance to dunk on the Cubs...Parades hit 20/31/16 HR from 2022 to 2024(to date). If he played all games at Wrigley, he would have hit 18/25/11. Even at Miller Park, this would have been 16/26/13. Busch and PNC are even worse(yes, he would have hit a lot at the sandbox in Cincy). That exp hr reduction saps a lot of value and makes sense considering the 315 pull side hr in Tampa that you noted.
-
Both the Cubs and Reds have now made a move aimed at improving in 2024(and beyond in the Cubs case). Could these moves be indicative that neither team believes we'll continue to win and that the division will truly be up for grabs in Aug/Sept?
