It was via Fangraphs, I made the cutoff near his amount of PAs…so Taylor with less than half of his wouldn’t have shown up. The worst are Segura, Abreu, Tony Kemp, Baez, and Eric Haase…Turang is #6 now for 170+ PAs. Detroit has two of those Top 5 (yikes).

Article: Is Julio Teheran Really This Good?
MrTPlush replied to Jake McKibbin's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
I don't think it really matters. Why would you go with the guy who has 200 innings in his sporadic career over a guy with 1400 innings and before all the injuries was a consistent piece in a MLB rotation? Teheran was never particularly pretty, but he consistently put up a solid ERA. Of course, so far his BB/9 is 1.0....and historically that has been 4.5+...so a massive crash back to earth might be in store. I still would bet on him putting together a decent little run over Rea. You know what you are getting with Rea and it isn't good. -
Article: Is Julio Teheran Really This Good?
MrTPlush replied to Jake McKibbin's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Ironically, Teheran is replacing Miley...who once was a saving grace in a similar situation for us half a decade ago. Miley put up a 2.57 ERA in 2018 and even kept up that incredible run of dominance into the postseason. Is Terheran this good? No. Is he even remotely close to this good? No. The thing is though, what he does every other year of his career is meaningless. We just care about what he does for the next 4 months or so. -
That is quite the optimistic outlook to be concerned with the amount of control for a guy that was the 5th worst hitter in major league baseball before being sent down Not saying I don't think he can't eventually be a starting 2B, but his first showing was pretty dang horrid. Hopefully he looks a little more up to the challenge next time. He has the baserunning and defense to carry him a bit...but he will have to be way better with the bat either way.

"With the 614th pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, the Brewers select...Jimmy Coalwinkle." *10 minutes later* Article: Should the Brewers Extend Jimmy Coalwinkle?" All jokes aside, rumor has it this series ends with Christian Yelich.

Odorizzi and Lynn - 13 seasons of 150+ innings combined Freddy Peralta - Zero

I’m a little tired of the “Omg the NL Central is a joke” and people honestly thinking it is possible or even believing a sub .500 team could win the division. The Brewers are on pace for 88 wins. A team isn’t winning it sub .500. I would say it is likely a team wins it with 88-90 wins. Maybe as little as 86 wins…but I really doubt it. I’d bet on a team winning it with 95+ over sub .500.

I always thought it was a shame how fans treated him. He went out there and played the game. Despite missing expectations, injuries, and not living up to the extension…he always went out there and put in the work. There always has to be some team punching bag guy and he was it. Seems like it usually ends up the worst defensive player.

Construction workers care about fresh squeezed or concentrate? Take the concentrate and just pour extra sugar in...I bet that will have the same effect.

Be thankful we didn't do anything stupid to get Jose Abreu...
MrTPlush replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
A lot of people thought we should extend Wily Adames too. Dude closer to deserving nontender papers than $150mil+ As much of a trainwreck this team is...the forum could make it A's bad with a big payroll. -
There is a way for them to be protected. There are seats down in the dugout if they want to be safe. If millionaires want to risk a freak accident...let them. Might as well place a net in front of the pitcher like in BP at this rate. I don't think every random freak accident needs some solution to make the chances of it happening again 0%. It just isn't feasible or realistic. You would quickly make the game unplayable. It is only a matter of time before someone jumps into the nets down the line and gets hurt in it...what then? Sometimes I think these safety measures provide a false sense of safety. I don't recall a ton of injuries at the brick walls in Chicago...probably because the players aren't idiots and know it won't end well. Yet guys think it is safe to dive headfirst into a padded wall...doesn't end well. Remember when Lorenzo Cain dove headfirst into that chain-link fence as a rookie? Balls are flying really fast...there is going to be some inherent risk and freak accident potential.

And who is going to develop that? Who wants to develop in an area that is dead 50% of the year? There is some residential around it, sure, but it isn’t very wealthy. I wouldn’t call it ghetto…but it isn’t super affluent either that is going to grasp some fancy/trendy district either. I can’t see the Brewers investing hundreds of millions into a project that is dead half the year.
-
Sounds like the county just wants to open the door to make it feasible from a zoning standpoint....I don't see anywhere where someone was running to put money up to help build it. Which is....kind of necessary. The problem with this theory is the fact the location sucks. AmFam is the entire areas personality. It would make more sense if the casino and something like the HD museum were right next to AmFam. It would need other year-round attractions around it. I don't mind where the stadium is, but good luck finding a billion-dollar stadium district feasible. I am sure there are endless better locations to invest that kind of money location wise. As far as Mnafred's comments, he is saying them purely because he knows there is a stadium situation with the lease agreement. All he is doing is vouching for the Brewers and trying to put some pressure on the district/state. Just basic negotiation type garbage. They aren't going to get a dollar if they just shrug their shoulder and say, "I don't know, just send us what you want."

Any mention of the current agreements language on keeping the park up to date or that there are things that do or will need to be fixed in the near future. 🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯🧑🏻🦯 Write a political article on a site that tells members to not talk about politics that is really just a rant that provides absolutely zero data on anything being talked about. ✅

Riding the hot hand is just poor strategy. You are trying to bank on short term past results and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. You are always one step behind and going to chase a carrot you will never catch. When do you consider a guy the hot hand? 2 games? 3 games? Then when you move them up, when do you decide they aren’t hot anymore? 2 games? 3 games? You will probably miss out on a few hot games and then keep them around a few bad games to match. The offense is pretty pathetic, but it’s just grasping at straws. It’s going to make one feel good, but rearranging deck chairs is a short-lived feel good moment.

Anyone that believes speed enforcement doesn't work to reduce speeds etc. just needs to drive I90 from the Chicago area to the border. The speeds and reckless driving dramatically reduce at the border (or dramatically increase if you are going south). One state actually polices the roads and the other leaves it to be the autobahn.

Thankfully Kolton Wong has been useless too. Specifically, Wong has a -1.2 WAR….which is kind of impossible to even wrap your head around.
-
A lot of people will point out his OBP, which is good and all…but there is a reason the scoreboard shows OPS. His slugging is a horrid .270 and causes his OPS to be just .625. Sure, he gets on base, but it is going to take 2+ hits to get the dude in. Even a double is unlikely to get him in from first. That being said, there isn’t a better option. Rearrange deck chairs and put Turang up there…or whoever else. They all suck, that isn’t going to make much difference.

He was a third baseman and had the arm/athletic ability to be pretty decent over there. He had the power potential to stick there and overall...his tools were pretty good across the board. A left-handed hitter and at 3B....two things we hadn't had success developing for years. So it was pretty exciting. Problem was...none of his skills really excelled to elevate him to MLB quality. I think fans (and even prospect lists) can tend to overrate need-based or hard to get quality production positions. Chad McClanahan was another guy a lot of fans loved to hype up a bit back then. Prospects lists are littered with OFers, pitchers, and SSs these days. It gets kind of boring, so when there is an opportunity to put a 3B or C up high, people jump all over it.
-
Except one we already have the rights to and the other is sitting on a team currently in a postseason spot. Yeah, that probably doesn't last till July...but who knows. They might also expect a return more than reasonable just because McCutchen is a fan favorite and a bag of balls isn't worth trading him away. Might as well keep him to appease fans versus some worthless return.

Yikes, I just looked at the WC standings. The NL has the 20-20 Phillies in one of the spots with a negative run differential. There are only 6 teams that even have a positive run differential. On the flip side, the AL has 10 teams with a positive run differential.

Just agree to pay his contract. That would reduce their payroll like 10%.

Three good games against a garbage opponent? This is non news...at least for now.

Worried for an unnecessary amount of Simone Biles mentions next year? Yes As a player? He is decent.

Hard to get too invested in the schedule when it is likely a developmental year with Love.
