    Awesome tip. Thank you!

    In the Philippines so the 1:40 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. start times have been interesting! Am either trying to wake up in the middle of the night, wake up early and have a Coffee & Crew session (my favorite) or sleeping in and trying to blindly navigate to the audio archive on the MLB app without seeing a score.

    Well written, this is awesome

    Hey Micah, what are your feelings about how the Milwaukee Brewers recently go about roster building?

    Letson's delivery
  6. BeerSlide
    Jesus Made certainly has easy power PXL_20250824_001627128~2.mp4

    Bishop Letson looks real smooth

    1. You could have both of them on your fantasy baseball team. 2. You could be a human being who occasionally makes mistakes?

    I'm thinking Zack Wheeler. He's scuffling a bit now but I still think he rebounds and gets it
  10. BeerSlide
    Sorry. Was recently thinking about Strider about how he just doesn't look the same. A few years too late there. I'm assuming it will be Zack Wheeler barring a meltdown
  11. BeerSlide
    While I'm sure Spencer Strider has that award all but wrapped up at this point, he's been phenomenal. Looking through most of these posts ......goodness gracious. There isn't enough crow in Westeros for this thread.

    This is pretty incredible. If you had told me that the Cubs would essentially keep winning games at their current pace, but by the beginning of August we'd be talking about them as the team we shouldn't expect to go away, I would have said GTFOH

    As I mentioned in the game thread the day this happened, updates that occur for injuries that happen right before the trade deadline seem to be cloaked in even more mystery than they normally are. Spasms seemed to be a vague & convenient way not to tip your hand or show potential spots of roster weakness when you're about to enter hours worth of negotiations with other teams. Seemed optimistic at the time and I don't think we're learning anything today that they didn't immediately suspect.
  14. BeerSlide
    Know you're just reporting the facts, and this isn't directed at you or anybody in particular but I always tend to take early injury reports with a grain of salt especially when they come right at the trade deadline. Seems like you might not want to put anything out in the either that could show your hand, make you look desperate, or even overly comfortable. But this could be a nonsense opinion that only makes sense in my head.

    While Kirby has had flashes of last year's dominance since coming off the IL, he has been much more inconsistent thus far this year. Hopefully that inconsistency continues tonight.

    IMO the most remarkable thing about Priester's progression is how he had a reputation for, and started his Brewer tenure with, really shaky command and now hardly walks anybody. While his velocity and movement seem to vary a bit from start to start, his command is now consistently good which is a huge testament to him and our coaches.

    Her dad was my football coach and Spanish teacher in Highschool. I remember babysitting her as a child. Damn I'm old

    Feel the same. The offense, outside a few games here or there, is a painful to watch limit on this teams potential. For me, the consistent, almost immediate, cooling off of a hitter who temporarily gets hot gives the whole thing a hopeless feeling.
  19. BeerSlide
    Now that's some entertaining writing. Thank you
  20. BeerSlide
    Still too small a sample but reasons for optimism
  21. BeerSlide
    Could be wrong but I'm going to assume that this and the recent decrease in free passes are not unrelated. Hopefully it's a situation where this was the plan to get him in a good mental mindset of controlling an at-bat then eventually slowly loosening the reigns a bit to start getting at least a bit more swing and miss while minimizing the risk of things derailing on him. Hopefully we're seeing them build a foundation in real time

    Just so I understand you correctly, are you saying that no matter what happens in the remaining 5 2/3 years of this contract with Priester, even if he fulfills the best case scenario of what the Brewers saw in him, that the Brewers will have given up too much? Or that it was an overpay based on knowing that Boston would have given him up for less if Arnold had negotiated better? My issue is making definitive statements about the calculus of this whole thing when one side of the equation hasn't even been filled in yet. Don't misunderstand me, I don't think it was a great trade, I'd preferred they hadn't made it. I just balk at all the talk at this being some sort of clearly done deal.
  23. BeerSlide
    I think he'll almost universally be cheered and rightfully so. There's no way anyone should blame him for for taking that kind of money for his final payday. The way I look at it is that I get embarrassed for the guy sitting back booing Adames for not taking an offer from the Brewers and then turning around and complaining about how ownership doesn't spend the requisite amount of money on payroll to be competitive. You either understand the situation or you don't.

    I think the Shane Smith fiasco has been talked about ad nauseam and he deservedly is already getting criticism for that. I think it's WAY too early to even begin to judge the Priester trade. Has he come out like gangbusters in the first 1/4 of year 1? Of course not! But how many more years of control do we have? Into the 2030s? Who's to say that he can't be an average or slightly above average picture in one or more of those seasons? And if he does that that might be enough because the assets we gave up for him could become something, but there's also a good a chance that none of them even make the major leagues. I still think the Brewers have at least a 50/50 chance of winning that trade, Just too much TBD to say one way or another right now IMO. I also can't fault him too much for not filling holes he likely wasn't given the resources to fill. Now if it later comes out that ownership wanted to solidify third base coming into this year but Arnold declined because he didn't feel it was necessary and that we had enough? Then yes, I'll criticize him for that too. No doubt. I think the acute disappointment in this year's ~.500 clib is largely in part to how he's helped us overachieve in previous seasons. I think the earliest there's any widespread criticism would be 2027 if there is continued stumbling and obvious missteps.

    Absolutely. Wow, It's a bit uncanny, at least here because I don't remember thinking this in spring training. Obviously we're not saying he's near that level but that extension and upward-tilted violence through the path were very reminiscent of Bonds
