    That’s because 90% of managers are basically useless in the grand scheme.
  2. MrTPlush
    If Ross being fired by the Cubs ended his managerial career, then he wasn’t a very good manager to begin with.

    Chourio is brutal. Since a homer and two walks on April 20th: 1 XBH / 1 BB / 0 RBI / 1 multi-hit game A lot less K's is about the only consolation prize (especially in the last 10 games or so).

    Seems like a misleading angle. Hard to see where exactly his foot probably is on the right-handed side of the box. A lot of guys will stand on the line or even barely on it...which is technically allowed. I couldn't tell in the TV broadcast video of it.
  5. MrTPlush
    It was a 2-1 count, so that theory kind of goes out the window. Contreras sits so far forward and on that particular pitch was once again reaching so far forward trying to frame a slider on the outside edge. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
  6. MrTPlush
    You know, Bauer deserved that. Clearly was overmatched in the grand scheme…but battled till he nudged one in play.
  7. MrTPlush
    Realistically you have to hope they can hang around long enough for some younger guys to maybe break out. Chourio/Black…maybe Turang or Frelick actually breaks out for an extended time. The offense is what it is though. A ton of young guys with a lot of struggle to go around.
  8. MrTPlush
    Thanks to Chourio not trying to be a hero and catch that.
  9. MrTPlush
    Little league mistake, honestly.

    So lets assume the Brewers ran their team as terribly as the A's and their valuation grew by the same as the A's. This assuming that literally the only difference in their growth rates is purely because of the Brewers success and spending. Which is probably incredibly broken logic, but I will run with it. That would mean the Brewers would be worth $1.33bil instead. Starting in 2015 I added up their total amount spent on payroll compared to the A's. It would probably vary based on the source you use and the site I used didn't have end of season payrolls for some older seasons (something that would probably raise the Brewers number). The payroll difference through those years was about $280mil...so literally would be a total wash. This is totally ignoring the fact that $300mil all these years in your pocket is infinitely better than an extra $300mil in team valuation. Money you can't really access till you sell the team.

    In a vacuum, Umpires are incredibly accurate at calling balls/strikes. I doubt there is any correlation to call accuracy based on a batters size compared to the next one.
  12. MrTPlush
    Actually, basically none of it was. Spending money on a pro sport franchise's payroll is basically just flushing money down the drain. If it was about maximizing money Attanasio would run them like the A's or any of the other small markets under us. Team valuations will follow the league value and the value of other teams. Largely because the team can always be sold and moved pretty easily. Our fanbase could turn into the A's fanbase and the value of the team wouldn't really change at all. String together 5 90+ loss seasons...won't do anything. The A's couldn't have a worse stadium or fanbase...yet still worth over a billion dollars.

    No, they are exactly the same situation: Mikolas was ejected for throwing at a pitcher. Peralta was ejected for throwing at a pitcher. That’s it, the end of the story. MLB is going to suspend you if the umpire ejects you for throwing at a guy. Whether the umpire decided to do so when it wasn’t 100% obvious and instead 80% obvious isn’t going to matter. They are almost surely not going to reduce Peralta’s suspension because it is intentionally that length to force him to miss a start (actually be punished from a playing standpoint, not purely monetary).
  14. MrTPlush
    He definitely watched Siri…I guess the definition of stare down may be questionable. I don’t have extensive research, but I don’t think a guys foot is notably going to change while try to hit someone. That line of thinking is probably how a guy ends up throwing it 10 feet behind a guy when they try to hit them. I mean, sure, maybe Peralta’s command just magically dissipated when the guy that showboated a HR came back up to bat. That would be quiiite a coincidence. Peralta’s reaction when hitting Siri and lack of reaction when getting ejected is probably pretty telling. I pulled up his HBPs since 2021. Ignoring the ones that aren’t obvious if foul ball or HBP he almost always visually reacts, usually hopping in frustration and sometimes even turning his back to home. Actually, we even have an example from the same game. He was pretty upset hitting a guy just an inning prior. But thus, it wasn’t blatantly obvious. Nor did Siri seem to care. Why the umpire had to make something of it is odd regardless

    Here would be a recent example of a guy getting ejected and then suspended. Seems kinda automatic. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/cardinals/2023/07/28/miles-mikolas-suspended-hitting-cubs-ian-happ/70489847007/
  16. MrTPlush
    No way to prove he was safe though, so whatever call was on the field was going to stand in that situation. As far as blocking the plate…that was clearly not blocking the plate to me. His foot was in the middle of the plate. Therefor he had a path to the plate by any angle coming into home, which is what the rule states you have to allow.
  17. MrTPlush
    Remember when a massive contingency of the forum and Brewers fans in general wanted to sign Jose Abreu. After posting a .680 OPS in his first year, he has now been optioned to Rookie ball after a .269 OPS start to 2024
  18. MrTPlush
    Kind of an idiotic move. We can’t replace him on the roster and he has to be on the roster to serve the suspension.
  19. MrTPlush
    To answer your question: You can’t have anything white on your arm and/glove. At least not in a big enough fashion it could confuse and/or hide the baseball. while his glove wasn’t technically white, it was much too close to white.
  20. MrTPlush
    Tyler Black already has as many doubles as Jackson Chourio.
  21. MrTPlush
    Well, don’t kill the messenger. It’s highly possible an ejection from a pitcher hitting someone is an auto suspension. I can’t think of any of the top of my head, but it would not shock me if all of them end up suspended. I guess I don’t find much wrong with Murphy getting a suspension for his dugout acting like a bunch of babies over a HR celebration. I’m all for standing up for your guys and not being pushovers, but when it gets to slapping other players it has gotten a little out of hand.
  22. MrTPlush
    The Peralta suspension isn't shocking at all. That situation is basically what caused the rest to transpire. If you don't suspend Peralta you are basically saying you don't know if it was intentional or not...thus he should have never been ejected. He has to be suspended to make the ejection justified. Siri threw punches so he was going to get suspended and Uribe's doesn't need much explanation. Murphy getting suspended is somewhat odd, but guessing they want to punish him for his players being so unhinged creating a ruckus.
  23. MrTPlush
    I wasn't referring to them as the same crew...merely standing up for umpires as a whole.
  24. MrTPlush
    We traded off Burnes, Woodruff can't play, Chourio is getting his chance, Black is now getting his chance, and despite all that we ended April leading the division with 100+ win pace. Some up and downs, some unfortunate injuries...but hard to complain overall.
  25. MrTPlush
    Three problems: #1 Something tells me this umpire's history would not show a bunch of ejections without a warning. That alone would be pretty suspect. #2 Siri had absolutely NO reaction to being hit. He was going to just kindly take his base. Didn't look at a single Brewer. Why WHY on earth would any umpire feel it is necessary to eject the pitcher especially after no warnings? Honestly, it doesn't make any sense when it is almost an unwritten rule to give warnings. #3 Why doesn't the umpire acknowledge HE is the reason there were punches thrown and a brawl happened? None of that happens if the umpires don't eject Peralta and Murphy. The umpire basically upped the emotion. It was done and over with once they hit Siri....but no, the umps had to reignite everything.
