    I'm a pretty big fan of Turang as well. That ESPN top 50 list triggered me a bit when I see Trea Turner on it but no Turang, they're not too far apart from being basically the same guy.

    CC is a sleeper agent confirmed.

    Eric Plunk and Janson Junk really need to get together for a photo op.

    I literally just heard "The Dads" moniker for the first time yesterday and it tickled me quite a bit. No idea how long that's been a thing but it's beautiful.

    LAD at 621 runs now after last night's game (which they lost) but I've been watching the Brewers climb this list for a little bit and it's awesome. They're within 13 runs of being the highest scoring team, not long ago they were something like 26 runs behind. There really aren't many holes in this team where someone can say, "But they aren't doing this particular thing well." Just the long ball and even that feels like it's heating up recently.

    Man, I remember that like it was last month. Those were good times.

    B-b-but when does Matt Arnold start to receive some criticism?

    Dick Trickle. Wisconsin legend. Not a current NASCAR racer (RIP) but always worth a mention. (Just ask Dan Patrick 😂)

    I would encourage you to continue adding the other magic numbers with each update because I like the extra details.

    That's kind of the thing I noticed about PCA when I looked at his stats earlier this season, maybe a month or so ago. He seems very slugging percent dependent. He's doing amazing but for as amazing as he was his OPS wasn't really that high, it was still sub .900. Good on him for making a ton of hard contact but I kinda just felt like if he got into a funk most of that effectiveness would go away. He brings so much more to the table than his slugging so it's not like he'd be useless with a more pedestrian SLG.

    No no man, Rickie wore 23. Not 24.

    I don't really do much investing wise, I dabbled back in 2020-2021 when the markets were recovering from the crash but didn't really know what I was doing. I had some BTC back then back when it was valued around $11K (ugh should have kept it there) but it kept losing or staying about even and I got impatient with it and sold out of it. It was never a lot that I invested, maybe around $1000. Anyway, I had about a $500 investment in a S&P 500 index fund for about a year, VOO in Fidelity and it's made around $100. But I'm kind of interested if I should put my little investment elsewhere. I'm thinking of bumping it back up to $1000. What do you guys think would be a good place to put it? I haven't read the whole thread but just the last day or two so I'm seeing Amazon, NVIDIA, Etherium and those seem interesting to me. Curious what anybody has thoughts on. I think I prefer to just put it in one place, $1K isn't that big of a sum to try spreading it around.

    I don't think that's true about Turbo at all. If you've paid attention to Turbo's posts over the years he's heavily invested in the minor league players. That goes beyond just knowing who the Brewers top prospects are. He goes to games specifically to watch those guys play. They aren't just names on paper to him. There's a deeper connection there. He's simply admitting his bias and there's a reason he has that bias.

    @Jack Stern Not that this is an earth shattering error but in the quote about Haase from Pat Murphy, the hyperlink for Pat Murphy takes us to a page for a dude sporting a wicked 'stache that played for the New York Giants in the late 1800s. Our Pat Murphy is not quite that old. 😂

    Jerry Reinsdorf is still the owner there. It's what the Brewers would look like if the Seligs still owned the team (Bud and Jerry were/are good friends), except probably worse since Reinsdorf does still have Chicago's market going for him.

    I feel like this is a theme I revisit a lot when people talk fatalistically about sports failures. One team wins, the other loses. Very basic stuff. If the game were played on paper then they could just run computer simulations instead of actually playing the games. So there are no guarantees. It's why the games get played. It's why everyone picks the Dodgers at the beginning of the year but the Dodgers still have to play the games. Anything can happen. I don't know man, the reason for following sports is to enjoy the competition. Losing is baked into the experience.

    I've been ignoring most of what you say because it's all hot air and a lot of garbage but you absolutely don't get to decide who is being a "true fan" or not. You can have your own opinion about it but to basically be calling out folks that don't agree with whatever it is that your opinion is does not give you the right to tell those people that they aren't "true fans". I certainly have my opinion about you but I'm not going to tell you how to... enjoy? being a baseball fan.

    I didn't really think this season would be the one where they'd be this good. I didn't expect them to fall off like most pundits just because they lost Adames and Williams. This team was just too good last season for those two guys to precipitate a huge decline. But my excitement has been for the near future and that still holds true. This season is kind of gravy. That doesn't mean I'm dismissing the opportunity they have either, they can't just ignore the position they've put themselves in. But even if they don't make a major trade addition I think they have as good a chance as if they do. Making a trade doesn't guarantee anything, it ends up getting judged by small sample size and small samples have just as much chance of going bad (Jonathan Schoop) as they do good (CC Sabathia). I think of a guy like Eduardo Escobar back in 2021. He did fine, good even. The Brewers also didn't lose anything significant in the trade. Clear positive addition. But did he really make that much of a difference? The Brewers were 60-42 (.588) when they made the trade and went 35-25 (.583) the rest of the way. They stayed about the same. That's not a bad thing, maybe if they don't make the trade they do worse, who can say. I just think that part of the trade deadline is a little overrated. Just a little. Making moves to improve isn't wrong, it never is. I just don't know that it leads to huge shifts in the end results.

    My guess, just from the short video, is that the ump didn't even notice he got hit by the ball and was hurting. The player didn't really react noticeably either it just looks like he's walking away. Something to be said for making sure the ump knows you got hurt, bend over, hop around, do something. Make sure the ump sees you need some time.

    I was aware that the pool money was the big reason, I wonder if they had a budget even there? Maybe they didn't want to spend that much on the draft? I see some comments here about positional redundancy here and our farm is ranked pretty well. You can never have enough talent because they can be used as trade capital but I could see them setting a budget and feeling like trading that comp pick was a way to do that. And of course that may have zero to do with it, they needed pitching so they made the trade for Priester and this was just the cost.
  22. SeaBass
    I saw a lot of angst about the Brewers trading away the comp pick in the Priester deal. Wonder if that feeling has been subdued by Priester's performance and the general excitement I see with the Brewers' selections today? Did losing that pick actually hurt them? Feels like not.

    This is bananas but good for Jacob. What a wild start to a career. That 12 K performance vs. the Dodgers made this even possible. With so few starts if that doesn't happen, and the timing of it happening right as rosters are being announced, I don't think he has a prayer of being selected as a replacement. Ride the wave young man! Weirdly I think this actually helps keep his innings down, pitch one inning in the ASG and sit for another week once the games start up again. He'd likely have a downtime throwing session in there anyway. Go have an immaculate inning and put the cherry on top of this hype train.

    I've said it before but there is absolutely nothing positive about the thumbs down feature. Completely unnecessary, it might as well just be a middle finger.

    Where's Clancy to remind us that Ryan Braun played out of position for most of his career?
