    Probably a loooong shot to pitch this year though.
  2. MrTPlush
    Please baseball gods, make Jefry Yan suck enough to be demoted and never seen again. He once again did his celebration for a called ball…and proceeded to be the losing pitcher.
  3. MrTPlush
    The best estimate I saw recently by an expert was 2/$30mil. I seriously doubt he is getting $25mil a year. He also can play four different positions on the field. The odds that all the prospects are healthy and producing all enough that Bauers has no where to play the next two years is very unlikely. Most of those guys could sit at AAA and extra year for a bat producing to the tune of a .900 OPS.
  4. MrTPlush
    Who? He is our best hitter by a pretty good gap. I suppose the cheaper option is Vaughn in another platoon. But you could just have that money going to Bauers and save a roster spot. Bauers also affords some flexibility to be an OFer.
  5. MrTPlush
    Couple things: It is one heck of an assumption that we are going to just hold onto Contreras and QO him next offseason. Even if we completely ignored the CBA caveat, he is may just be on the decline. His bat was hardly magical in 2025 either…and this year is shaping up to be worse than that. He may just be on the decline and his .800+ OPS days are gone. Notably he may not be a full time catcher anymore with watching his bat suffer even more. The Brewers should try and extend Bauers if a 2 year deal can get it done…or 3 years if the AVV is easier to stomach. Assuming he doesn’t crash and burn the last month+ he could be a worthy risk to pay. He has been crazy consistent and nothing in his stats screams that his numbers aren’t legit. Can he do it multiple years in a row? Can he do it at 31/32…maybe not. I think it is worth a shot to find out though.

    I’m not saying it is the biggest issue on earth or that I really care, but they really should just ban pitchers from pitching.
  7. MrTPlush
    No, that was not the point. The point was a Miz/Skubal 1-2 punch and to a lesser degree the 1-2-3 punch with Harrison. You don’t need four great starters in the postseason. On another note: What Skubal does in the regular season is rather meaningless to the Dodgers. They didn’t acquire him for the regular season. It’s also why such a trade was much too risky for the Brewers and why they likely opted not to make it. It isn’t like we needed Skubal to make the postseason like we did with CC. We would have been giving up massive value completely for his value in the postseason. A place where he could have a singular bad start in the opening round to help sink the entire season. Or the offense drops a turd like the Dodgers offense just did and it doesn’t matter how good he pitches. That being said, I bet the clubhouse is hyped that the man they would have needed to trade to get Skubal just beat him H2H on the road. I just hope something similar can happen in the postseason.

    The arena deal was signed before Giannis ever broke out. To say Giannis is why the team is still there is pretty questionable. I mean, we shall see how things go after he is gone, but I question the Bucks interest staying and not reverting to the ‘meh’ interest it was before him. I mean Giannis is like an all time great that brought a championship and people outside of the Milwaukee area still don’t give a crap about the Bucks. This question is inferring he transformed the Bucks into some huge interest. They aren’t, back to bottom ten attendance I would bet. Mark Attanasio is more worthy than both of these guys on the Mount Rushmore of Milwaukeee sports. Heck I would put Doug Melvin over them. Both of those guys took the Brewers and transformed them into not only having success, but a lasting success. I am a Favre hater. Only became a Packers fan after he left (I unofficially led the Rodgers bandwagon. Told people he would be better than Favre). Even with that, Favre is undoubtably more important by light years. The Packers were garbage since those SB wins. Favre comes along and transforms the entire franchise. The SSH list goes from 10k to 100k+. I mean, it’s hard to imagine what the Packers would be like had they not had Favre.

    Sorry, I should have included a disclaimer that it was just a random fact with absolutely no relevance to anything.
  10. MrTPlush
    Random fact with no meaningful relevance I stumbled upon: Trading for Romero brings back memories to 2022 when we traded for Trevor Rosenthal who was also injured at the time of trade. Rosenthal of course never pitched for us. (And never did pitch again). The guy we traded in that deal (Tristan Peters) made the AS game this year as a replacement player.
  11. MrTPlush
    Yes, because he signed a real MLB contract? I think you misunderstood. I am saying Pratt was motivated to chase that contract despite what Boras would advise because it sets him up for life. League minimum isn’t setting up a US born player for life. A DR Boras client isn’t likely to have that same motivation. Pretty sure Made’s AA salary is like 10 years of median income in the DR.
  12. MrTPlush
    Hasn’t caught since 2024…and hasn’t caught 100+ since like 2022 though
  13. MrTPlush
    Jorge Posada is the only guy I can think of off the top of my head that hit after age 30. Ivan Rodriguez maybe? Most, even the greats, are garbage once they turn the page to 30
  14. MrTPlush
    Better than giving him the extension people begged and begged for. Though, maybe not as popular of an idea on this forum.
  15. MrTPlush
    Is Made even a Boras client? I couldn’t find anything to prove that. Also, I’m sure the brewers approached Made for an extension, why wouldn’t they? And Boras is Pratt’s agent, it would have definitely come up. If he is a Boras client, chances are he has zero interest in a contract extension right now. Pratt is quite an exception and probably will stay that way. Also notable, while a Boras client, Pratt is also American. Why does that matter?Jesus Made was set for life the second the ink on his signing bonus dried, set for a couple lifetimes. Pratt on the other hand? Yah, you aren’t set for life till you get a real MLB contract.

    Last night the Chicago White Sox accidentally went to visit their pitcher on the mound twice IN THE FIRST INNING. The problem? A second mound visit requires immediately removing the pitcher. The umpires actually messed up the rule thinking he had to face the next batter, but that is not the rule. The delay allowed some warmup in the bullpen beyond the 8 pitches on the mound. They made this mistake the day after a 13 inning loss where they used 8 different pitchers.
  17. MrTPlush
    Chourio? Right, but the last four months of 2024 his slugging percentage was .500+ three months straight and the one sub .500 month was a .495 in September. His second half was incredible.
  18. MrTPlush
    Ahh, that’s a pretty solid example. Yelich was much like Chourio, solid player but just wasn’t AS level. I still have high hopes for Chourio. His tools and the ability to hit .270+ in today’s environment has got to eventually click. If he was hitting like Jackson Holliday I’d be a lot more concerned.
  19. MrTPlush
    Not a horrible example. But I guess I’d think he broke out at the start of the last year, which was half the time it’s taking Chourio. PCA just didn’t become a literal MVP candidate till he started getting on base consistently. In retrospect, Chourio had a really nice stretch of success that first year after a cold start. He just has not replicated any form of successful consistency since. Hasn’t had two .750+ OPS months in a row since.
  20. MrTPlush
    According to fangraphs, PCA leads all of baseball in WAR (hitters) with 37% more than #2. Chourio is #82. Who are some recent players similar to Chourio that eventually broke out? Being 22 is valid, but 360 MLB games is getting to be a big sample. It’s actually kind of crazy how consistent he has been. Basically the same exact player every year. Of course there are still two months left, so maybe he gets hot and turns in a nice year to build hype for 2027.
  21. MrTPlush
    I’m not going to keep arguing with you. I literally just told you those references weren’t to specifically Made only. Nor was it in reference specifically to 19 year olds in AA. Just simply they are very common ways prospects are described/hyped all the time. The use of those phrases have been used for decades. If you’ve followed prospects a bunch, you’d kn Feel free to tell me what you thought I meant more, but not sure the relevance after I clarified it for you.
  22. MrTPlush
    Again, you are being specific to Made and that comment was never specific to Made. Those same phrases are used for endless prospects every single year. Sometimes referencing people in A+, sometimes in AAA. Whether it actually translates to them over performing at every stop till they are an MLB star is a different question.
  23. MrTPlush
    PCA > Chourio. Though I do think PCA is probably a riskier long term option. PCA is one of the few dozen players that Made could be traded for.
  24. MrTPlush
    For starters, people don’t claim a salary cap is some magical fix and the Brewers will win a World Series. No one has ever claimed we are all going to take turns and win one every 30 years either. So you are making a counter argument for a claim that has never been made. Comparing the NFL to the MLB is a massive stretch. Some teams have never won and some have never appeared, yes. It turns out you need to still assess talent properly and develop players. The NFL also lives or dies on your ability to find a star player at a specific position. Imagine if that weren’t the case. The NFL gets dynasty’s from QBs, MLB gets them from spending well above other teams. That’s a problem. How many small markets have won a World Series in the last 20 years? 2015 Royals 2011 Cardinals 2006 Cardinals You can add about three more teams if you want to include the losers. Since the Royals World Series win I’m not sure a non Top 10 payroll team has even appeared in the World Series. (Rays in 2020 excluded). But yah, payroll definitely is not an issue or a predictor of a teams ability to even get to the World Series.
  25. MrTPlush
    No, that comment wasn’t exclusive to Made. People say that about prospects all that time. That was the point of the comment. But alas, I never said Made wasn’t special. Actually, pretty sure one of my most recent comments was him being a true Top 5 prospect any years list. I guess if that isn’t special, then you may be right.
