    The entire Brewers fan base on social media is obsessed with Freddy Peralta like it is a done deal we will go trade for him, begging for it. The air quality is finally decent, I think people need to go outside and get fresh air. The obsession with a negative WAR pitcher is getting a little strange. If he is free, great. But giving up value? Idk about that. Though it probably helps the Mets that he had that cheap contract versus a massive final arby year price tag.

    If his name was anything else, no one would want Peralta. If he is free, it is what it is, but I’d rather them set their sights on someone who is more stable and can go farther than 4 innings. we are also talking a guy that will be a free agent at the end of the year and was on the verge of hundreds of millions. No doubt he wants to start every fifth day and we want to win…after a month his best way to help us is in the bullpen, who knows. So there is potential conflict there.

    Overpaid for what we got, but great clubhouse presence and gave us 21 starts of near 3 ERA baseball the last two years. So not a complete waste. One of my favorite Brewers ever, but pretty neutral whether he comes back here or not. I won’t say ‘he better not’ because that’s kind of ridiculous without any contract term to go off of. Certainly, I wouldn’t offer any meaningful amount of money again. He may come back a solid reliever instead of trying to start again, who knows.

    People don’t go to AAA games to see their specific teams players. At least not in the sense it dramatically shifts attendance one way or the other. Plenty of teams sell well and even teams with zero attachment to MiLB can sell tickets impressively well. Nashville looks empty because MLB always required/preferred AAA stadiums to have 10k+ seating capacity. Which none of them really get close to achieving. Reality: Nashville is a Top 5 attendance team across all of MiLB.

    Did he bang the trash can between starts?

    This would have been exciting a decade ago.

    More so the point of why is Chourio batting reverse disrespectful, but the pitcher being a 40mph throwing positional player not? I mean, that seems like a wild take. Not to mention when a guy jacks a homer off a positional player that gets a similar ‘disrespectful’ tag to it. Maybe we just need a mercy rule and allow teams to just quit instead of using a positional player to pitch. Chourio giving himself a disadvantage in the AB seemed to be more respectful, but I guess that’s just my opinion.
  8. MrTPlush
    I love how Chourio batting lefty is a crime, but a positional player throwing rainbows to the plate is not.

    Are you Mark Attanasio’s secret burner account?

    This rich .1% of fans = Massive and expensive overhaul behind home plate including exclusive club. The other 99.9% of fans = Best we can do is an overpriced beer garden right next to the parking lot where you can do the same thing yourself for cheaper (and just make better food yourself) and an overcrowded minigolf course/playground. The later wouldn’t have been a horrible idea had it actually been out by the parking lots. The one on the home plate side is nice and great to occupy kids while tailgating or before the game in general. However, this one is by the outside concourse and surrounded by concrete. Nowhere to relax, no grass. If I have walked across the bridge it means I’m ready to go inside at that point. Or the alternative is to make it accessible from the inside and not the outside. Imagine activities in the open air during a game versus everything being in a cramped concourse feeling like a warehouse.

    Watching Miz pitch is insane. He isn’t just blowing 103 past hitters and hoping they miss it. He is genuinely dotting the corners and locating his breaking stuff. Of his 15 strikeouts, every single one of them was on a pitch on the edge or just off except the one to end the game which was just inside the zone. The fastball gets all the hype, but every game he is casually dotting strike 3 off speed pitches. Miz could be throwing 95mph and he would still be pitching like an ace.
  12. MrTPlush
    That logic makes no sense. You are comparing a 21 year old being motivated after an extension versus a 31 year old past his prime. Lara is motivated to be the best he can be whether this contract has $1 of escalators of $100mil because he will be a max of like 31 years old at the end of it anyway. He is playing for another big contract either way. I don’t think anyone lets off the gas because their contract is $10mil instead of $10mil plus another $5mil in incentives. If they have that thought process they probably wouldn’t have made it past varsity in high school.

    I see a hell of a lot of regression potential, little upside potential, and a lot of black holes that are definitely black holes. I mean compare our line up to that of the Braves or Dodgers…who also have pretty good pitching. Better odds than last year for sure though.
  14. MrTPlush
    A salary floor is more important: Why? Partially because a salary floor wouldn’t exist without salary cap. So the answer is really both combined. But even then, the forced revenue sharing that must happen to allow such a salary floor is more important than a cap. A floor or cap is useless by itself, honestly. Forcing the limitation of the Dodgers ability to spend while forcing the spending of other teams is the most ideal situation. In theory, it should also spread out talent a little more and make more teams competitive.

    They are better and by a lot for a variety of reasons. They can carelessly spend money to fix problems, we can’t. They have a better ability to drop prospect capital to fill holes. With all that money, they naturally have better depth in general. Also, the top versus bottom offensively is quite a bit different. We have 3 sub .600 OPS hitters and none that are close to a .900 OPS (within say .020 OPS). The Dodgers have zero sub .600 hitters taking major ABs and two that are close to a .900 OPS. We have black hole free outs to get them out of jams…they don’t have that in their lineup. That’s just a huge difference. We may have some true TOR guys better than we have in awhile…but they still have a really strong rotation that is better than ours, likely. Their bullpen is as good or better. We need to play incredible baseball and get some luck…that’s tough facing the Dodgers. Unfortunately we get one stab at it per year…so even if we succeed 3/10 times…that’s not very often in the grand scheme.

    Not a great outing by Ashby. But his defense sure didn’t help with Chourio chickening out on a fly ball and a 2 out error.
  17. MrTPlush
    Is Hill a wild pitch candidate? Only reason I can think you would want to maybe go three. but even then….not when it is that tough of a play.

    It is really unfortunate that the Wisco thing was an idea that made it to final product, because the entire concept itself is quite genius. Brewers are very much so a state team more than just about any other team in baseball. So the concept made sense…and the supper club food area is pretty cool. The logos are cool and I’d argue the unis are decent. The blue is much better on the field and the matte helmet always look pretty slick. I don’t like them, but they are always a little out of the box with city connect jerseys. I imagine someone looked up slang ways to say Wisconsin and landed on ‘Wisco’ as potentially being kinda cool/young. Unfortunately, it isn’t a hit and it appears the marketing was heavily made around that term. Someone probably thought they were about to make that a cool term and you would instantly associate it with the Brewers.
  19. MrTPlush
    Screw the bobber logo. Should have been an old fashioned with a ball as the cherry. Honestly, should have just put Wisconsin across the front. Also, cheesehead for the hat.

    I never really get the Mitchell hate. Yah he K’s a lot, but he also mashes the baseball too. Might stop him from being a starter, but I think he can be a really good 4th OFer.

    AppleTV exclusive for a game of the Brewers and Royals. Probably paid $10 for the right to that. Government needs to step in and stop this garbage, actually getting ridiculous.
  22. MrTPlush
    2 outs, runner attempts steal of 2nd, strike 3 called, runner stops running, catcher makes bad but not horrible throw to second. what exactly happens? Unable to determine result and they just have to put you back at first?
  23. MrTPlush
    I don’t particularly like this deal and I don’t agree with some people’s belief these extension usually work out for the team. Singleton, Kingery, Jimenez, and White are all pre MLB debut contracts that sucked. Luis Robert Jr. also likely to be a bad contract barring a massive year to make $20mil options seem like a good idea. I think that is like half of all pre-MLB debut contracts. Does Pratt really have the ceiling and skill to be giving this kind of contract to? Idk, I guess we will see how he does at AAA. One of these contract by itself is low impact…put 3+ of these contracts on the books and it isn’t a blip anymore. The more you do the more likely it is that a few are total flops and negate any gain we see from the one player that actually pans out.
  24. MrTPlush
    I think even CB knows he sucks so when the Rays tagged Bauers he just figured he missed a call.
