    Redemption for that fielding gaffe. Love it.

    I wasn't sure if he did in front of camera work or was a behind the scenes guy but he seemed legit. Thanks for confirming.

    Not familiar with this YT channel but this guy says he's a Player Development Anaylist that has worked with the Marquee Sports Network and for MLB Network, so possibly that lends credence to his presentation here. This video is presenting trade packages for multiple teams to get Skubal, seems well thought out. He presents packages for 8 teams I think, including the Brewers. Maybe some will feel that's interesting enough. Spoiler alert, his Brewers package is exactly what @JoeyWiemerTrutherposted above (Jett Williams, Lara, Letson) but he says he's worked for MLB Network and that's where JWT said he was getting that from so maybe this guy was behind that?

    I have no problem with opinions but there was also a fair amount of emotional whinging going on. Which do you think I was commenting on? People saying they would rather see Patrick stay in the game, that's not a terrible take. But acting like a manager going to his closer in a save situation is the biggest mistake ever... do I really have to say that's odd?

    Looking out the window to make sure the world isn't burning when Uribe got called in to do his literal job.

    Been too long in between appearances for Ashby apparently.

    BRICE!

    Mizt see tv.

    I said it last night to my brother, PCA and Dalton Rushing should get together and be rage bros. Ironically it does feel like PCA is at least trying to curb it. (cry)Baby steps.

    Ok we can let trwi7 off the hook, it's 9-3 now.

    Ortiz with the feel good base hit followed up with a not so great feeling caught stealing.
  12. SeaBass
    Giving it back, stop leaking runs.
  13. SeaBass
    Gotta lock in, Sproat.

    Fun game so far, I caught myself wondering if Imanaga might be tipping pitches and that was before Bauers hit that bomb.
  15. SeaBass
    Unfortunate that's not a reviewable play (I'm assuming) but in real time it's hard to pick up that he got pushed off.
  16. SeaBass
    Small caveat, the Brewers have still only played 39 games while the Dodgers have played 42. Most other teams in MLB have played 3 to 4 more games than they have. No other team in MLB is below 40 games played and that was before games were played yesterday (when the Brewers had only played 38 games). So I like the Brewers' runs allowed stat but there's likely going to be more runs in those 3 to 4 extra games they need to catch up to most other teams. Though I am in favor of them pitching a bunch of shutouts too!

    All true. It just wasn't my angle, it was more a comment on the general sentiment that people around the internet are already talking about Miz having future arm issues and he hasn't even played a full major league season yet. Anecdotally this doesn't feel normal, when guys are rookies and just establishing themselves it's rarely about their heath unless they've already gone through some type of serious injury, it's about their performance. For fans on a Brewers message board it does make sense to talk about it because the conversations are revolving around possible extension and whether that is the best way to go. I guess it comes with the territory when you have a player pushing the envelope of expected high end production. Right now guys like Miz are unicorns. Remains to be seen if more and more players start living in the 100 to 105 mph range like he and a handful of others do.
  18. SeaBass
    This is fair. I guess I'm mostly thinking in Brewers terms of letting a pitcher approach free agency and then trading him, not necessarily in the "they need to sign this guy to an extension" frame of mind. Whatever happens will happen. In general I just get annoyed at flippant comments where commenters (I'm thinking like comments on twitter or on youtube highlights) just say, oh he's going to blow out his arm doing that. Sure, that happens a lot to pitchers. I'm just not so sure that Miz is super duper extra susceptible to injury than other power pitchers. He could get injured in his next start (knock wood) and that wouldn't really change my mind on the thinking process behind it. In the end, when I watch him pitch I'm not thinking, this guy is going to blow his arm out. I'm thinking, this is really cool I'm glad he's on our team.

    So I had a bit of a back and forth with Google's AI chatbot. Take that for what you will, it's certainly not science. I asked (after several previous questions): AI response:
  20. SeaBass
    I see comments all over the internet about Miz's arm blowing out. My question is, is he any more likely to be injured than any other pitcher simply because he has about 3 to 5 MPH extra on his fastball than other top pitchers? Are people just as obsessed over how soon Paul Skenes is going to blow out his arm? I feel like I really don't hear that about him. Pitchers are injury risks, I'm not really sure Miz is that much more of an injury risk than any other guy.
  21. SeaBass
    Because they saw him as expendable. McManus is a known quantity, there's no mystery there. Keeping him around to compete when they know exactly what he brings doesn't accomplish much. I get that people are saying if he's expendable now then he was expendable before. Sure. I guess in their eyes he was more expendable now than he was before. Does it really have to be deeper than that? I really think folks need to get past the million dollar bonus and looking for deeper meaning. It doesn't mean anything. They fulfilled a contractual obligation and did so willingly. If the salary cap is $300 million it represents 0.33% of their cap allowance. That's like giving someone 1 dollar out of the 300 dollars you have in your wallet. It's pocket change.

    Boy I just love hindsight analysis. Warm and fuzzy feelings. I can just imagine the Packers cutting McManus to save a million dollars that absolutely nobody cares about except as an opportunity to criticize. Then draft night comes and the Packers trade into the 5th round or just simply use a 5th round pick on the kicker they now absolutely MUST take. I mean, by the holy power of hindsight we know the Packers really wanted Smack. Yeah, the internet wouldn't have anything to say about that at all I'm sure. The reality is the million dollars means nothing at all, except to McManus. The Packers weren't forced to take a kicker and could operate however they wished without the extra stress of being just one kicker deep on the roster. It's almost like the decision makers here act with intention instead of a hope and a prayer.
  23. SeaBass
    On both occasions (keeping him, then cutting him later) they made what they felt was the best choice in that moment.
  24. SeaBass
    Looking at Montas' career numbers I'd say the Brewers got what they expected from him. A near replacement level starting pitcher to fill a spot in their rotation. Likely they hoped for him to perform a little above that but it looks like he did about as expected. Would I call it a huge win? No but I think it fulfilled their expectations. They got exactly the player they traded for.
  25. SeaBass
    I have zero regret over Joey Wiemer. Good for him for maybe turning it around with his 4th organization. Maybe. We'll see how the season goes. He had to land with a team that was going to give him playing time in the first place and that team was the one he's now on. Montas was pretty much a replacement level guy as a Brewer. Meh. Junis has been fine but is also on his 4th team in the last 4 seasons. If the Brewers had wanted Wiemer back as recently as this offseason they could have had him at the cost of a waiver claim. (EDIT: Washington very likely had higher priority, so the Brewers would have had to work out a nominal return to Miami in a trade.) Jakob Junis signed with Texas as a free agent so he was available too. So nothing was lost. They're just guys going through the MLB roster churn.
