  1. Sure but that's not really what you said. Google tells me that Pena is, on average, ranked around 17th overall on top 100 prospect rankings. If it's a one for one trade then there are potentially 15 other teams that can do "better". It also matters which guy the receiving team likes more regardless of rankings. Chances are it wouldn't just be a one for one trade though. When Adam suggested that trade it was purely hypothetical as I don't think he believes it would be a one for one either. The Brewers have a top farm system, they have a lot of assets to sweeten a deal.
  2. That's not how trading works. Teams want the best return for their players. Other teams still have to make a better offer than what the Brewers offer them even without Made being a part of it. If you buy something for $100 at Walmart they aren't going to refuse to sell to you just because you want to pay with 100 George Washingtons instead of one Benjamin Franklin.
  3. Toronto and Milwaukee are very close to being on the same parallel. Meaning if you live in a city that is north of Milwaukee you very likely also live north of Toronto. Toronto likely doesn't get any more cold on average than it gets in southeastern Wisconsin. MLB doesn't play baseball in the winter anyway so I'm not really sure why it even matters..
  4. Live look at the Cubs brass' first meeting with Greg Jones (or any of their other ex-Brewers pick ups.)
  5. I went on Amazon today and their Today's Deals section is plastered with home air purifiers.
  6. I assume the Bucks knew they were doing shady stuff when they did the shady stuff, you'd hope that they took proper measures to not leave evidence of doing shady stuff. That's not me endorsing their actions, just, if you're going to do something dumb at least be smart about it. Rereading that last bit it sounds like something Yogi Berra would say lol.
  7. Thanks, I hate it. (actually hilarious)
  8. One of my favorite quotes from a book I've read: You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway. Robert Jordan
  9. Thanks for trying to look at both sides, I am also. I'm far from grabbing a pitchfork and torch. It's just very puzzling to me. For a team that traded Freddy Peralta and his $8M salary, taking on close to $7M for an injured pitcher that's thrown around 95 innings of subpar baseball since 2022 doesn't scream "we gotta make this deal". That's not to say I didn't approve the Peralta deal, I'm really good with it. It's just very puzzling. Add in any expectation of making further trades before the deadline and it gets more puzzling. Are they going to avoid big money on those because of this trade? Seems like a valid concern. The players themselves don't really bother me, it's all pretty much a strange feel because of the money due to McCullers. We don't even really know if the report that the Brewers are absorbing the full amount are true or not. It could change, which would change how I feel about it.
  10. I don't really get it either, that's a lot of money to eat when they could conceivably spend that on somebody... good. I'm hoping Matt Arnold is simply a time traveler and has gotten hold of the Back to the Future sports almanac and both McCullers and Gordon end up being amazing.
  11. Yeah I just don't see them taking on all $6.6M even if they really like Gordon. I'm betting Houston is paying at least half and maybe more. I could see the Brewers taking responsibility for paying around $2.25M to $2.5M of the remaining deal.
  12. If people want this then they should just go be fans of the Padres. The Brewers have two more NLCS appearances this century than they do but they'll get the splashy moves fix they want so bad. They have Mason Miller, a $200M+ payroll, a barren minor league system and a .500 record. But they're actually trying, y'all!
  13. Jake is doing a halfway decent Freddie Freeman impression. It's Freeman at age 36 but not bad. Edit: Ha! All I had to do was scroll up, this must have been where I got the idea to compare him to Freeman in the first place.
  14. I can't believe there are people that would have this as a serious take. The at bat is meaningless, the Cardinals knew it and so did the Brewers. It's already a clown show. What if the Brewers sent their guys up to the plate and just told them not to swing at all? You don't have to swing the bat in baseball. The guy that tweeted this was either fishing for engagement (and he won the jackpot on that) or he is a gambler that overinflates every single opportunity for a chance to have a dopamine rush for one one-millionth of a second. And when a gambler loses it's never their fault, it's the player's fault.
  15. Chourio should have just turned his helmet around like Larry Walker did in the ASG vs Randy Johnson. Edit: it was John Kruk, dunno what my old brain was thinking. Edit #2: I was right the first time. I quit.
  16. 2,261-2,261-1 record since joining the NL. Of course there's a tie in there. Every bit of great historical data has to have some minutia baked in. Tie game due to a rainout in Cincinnati on opening day, April 3, 2000.
  17. ESPN published an article recently by Bradford Doolittle that, among other things, touched on the differences between both bWAR and fWAR and I thought it really clarified for me why the two exist and why they both matter. It's worth a read. But this snippet is part of what made me think of it. TLDR: FanGraphs is trying more to evaluate a player's projectable skill level while BRef is more results based or what already happened. Both have their perspectives and by contrasting them you can kind of come up with a number in the middle that is fairly accurate (if that's what you're interested in doing).
  18. After the first at bat of the game he becomes the 9 hitter. Feel better?
