    I will be at the game tonight. Can't wait!

    I don't generally feel bad for the Raiders, but they are really in a corner. Committed to a bunch of free agents in the interim. Maybe they shouldn't have moved, but it sure seems like the Ravens aren't being honest.

    Oh my, he hit that a mile. Apparently no unwritten rules to worry about because he stayed in the batter’s box a long, long time. Did a little salute as he headed out. I like Cruz. Maybe not on my team, but dang, his highs are HIGH.
  4. Underachiever
    He has been "set back". Thank goodness they didn't call it a setback. That would be dramatic.
  5. Underachiever
    setback noun [ C ] something that happens that delays or prevents a process from developing What's extremely dramatic about that? And that doesn't address that the video mentioned a wrist issue with Priester, not just bringing him up slowly. What term would you use?
  6. Underachiever
    Thanks. Feels like a silly distinction. Like how many bench press reps a guy can do at the combine, as opposed to how he can play in a game.

    What does “game power” mean?

    They seemed to lose their composure, and I think Boyd just got his shot in the lane blocked again. For all the talk of Wisconsin tempo, it was Oregon that got the Badgers to speed up at the individual level. They fumbled so many balls it had to be concern for the quick hands of Oregon. I mean, THAT was a 3-13 Big10 team?

    This is gold, if you haven't seen it. It's about 3.5 minutes long.

    "For teams looking to balance their roster, add a dependable right-handed bat, or inject youth and energy into the infield, Bohm represents a valuable, though short-term, asset due to his arbitration control through 2026." Youth and energy? Bohm? Dude is 29. He would be one of the older guys on the Brewers. And I had to laugh at "arbitration control through 2026." Whew, I was worried his contract expired July 1 and they'd have to renegotiate in the middle of the season (That's sarcasm, btw). The author, Ryan Shea, seems to propose trades for their fantasy value. A quick scan of some of his other mock trades shows that he mentions fantasy in all of them. Plus his profile says he is a fan of all things New York.

    You are much more of an optimist than I am. A player who hasn't finished a season healthy since what, 2022? is telling us a slow ramp up to the season is no big deal. I agree that it's good to be cautious because the Brewers need him healthy, and I think the Brewers have to consider load management so that they have some pitching left in the playoffs. However, this team suffers injuries that seem to be no big deal that end up lasting weeks and even months. Chourio's hamstring "tickle" cost him a month, DL Hall's two to three weeks for a lat strain ended up being months, Bukauskas missed the whole year. There are other examples of injuries that are characterized as minor that end up being more than that.

    I’ll just end this. I was in no way serious.

    The rest of my post was okay for you? But the Ortiz taek was a bridge too far? Interesting take yourself.
  14. Underachiever
    I like the uni as well. The Rays are wearing the same color combo today. Early thoughts at the top of the first: Joey Ortiz at DH really cleans up the logjam in the infield. I predict 120 starts for him there during the season. Classic Brewers rally. Walk, throw into CF on a steal attempt, infield hit, walk, hbp to score the run. Who needs power? Bases loaded, no one out in the top of the first allows the IGT sniping to begin. I'll start. Murphy's new contract has ruined him. He's a shell of himself as a manager. 1-0 Brewers without a ball hit out of the infield. I'm taking the over on wins.

    Not to mention that if you earn $5 million, $10 million, that's generational money as well. Maybe not as many generations, and some of your grandkids may have to go to public school, but it's still generational. It doesn't have to be $150 mil and up to qualify as generational. That said, I'd be no different if I was in that position. Probably.

    Is Mitchell expected to be ready to compete at the start of Spring Training? Sorry if I missed some announcement. Is he in the best shape of his life?
  17. Underachiever
    I agree with this completely.
  18. Underachiever
    I’m totally plussed.
  19. Underachiever
    We Suck in October? Man, that's negative.

    I agree with you on this power discussion. I would gladly take power from any position on the diamond, but at the moment, the Brewers are set at SS, 2B, 1B, C, CF, and RF. That leaves looking for a new power source from LF or 3B. So, asking for power from 3B or LF isn't from any kind of "dinosaur" thinking, it is because that is where there is an opening in the roster to insert a power hitter. If Contreras became Cal Raleigh or Chourio channeled 1996 Brady Anderson, I would be content with a lighter-hitting third baseman. Short of that, the Brewers don't have an obvious option at 3B. With that in mind, I wish they would find a guy for that position who can mash.
  21. Underachiever
    Is Made seen as a power hitter? Doubles hitter, for sure. but as I've understood it he's kind of been an OBP guy.
  22. Underachiever
    I'm just happy I don't have to pretend Seigler is any kind of answer any more.
  23. Underachiever
    Went over to Sox talk. Initial fan response is positive. This guy: Wow! Can’t believe the Brewers accepted that trade. This was a steal. We got a promising and controlled IF for literally pure garbage. Edit: Is "pure garbage" an oxymoron?
  24. Underachiever
    If I was a Boston fan, I would be so confused. As a Brewer fan, I have a lot of questions.
  25. Underachiever
    Rob Z hasn’t been healthy for three straight seasons. Not saying I want Banda, but Z is another player that I expect to hear is having “discomfort”, then he disappears for three months.
