    Good Yankees SB Nation piece on Durbin HERE

    I think those EV's should have an asterisk, tho: he was returning from a broken wrist in the first portion of his season (thanks to @Playing Catch for that Fangraph article that touches on this). Hard to know how that impacts bat-to-ball and EV but I have to imagine, having broken my own left wrist before, it didn't help as he re-adjusted to the physical sensations of bat-to-ball. From the same article: That's a pretty bold asterisk if you ask me. I don't think we truly know what we'll be working with but his AFL output might be hinting at it...

    Good counterpoint to Durbin by Jack here:

    There was very very low hanging 'fruit' here: "Bracing for the wurst" I ask for silence as I grieve the loss of a pun. #IStandWithDadJokes

    I personally like it when I have to step outside the bounds of my vehicle - but maybe I'm a hack mechanic glutton? Heck on my F150 (and in many pre-2014 vehicles I've used) I don't trust the 'Oil Life' prompts or 'Maint Reqd' prompts (on my wife's RAV4) that are strictly based on a rollback of an auto-input feature equating oil life to <insert 3,000 miles or 5,000 miles traveled from date of reset> over any car/truck sensor's actual understanding of the quality of the oil in the crankcase. I've also found read outs on batteries tend to be inconsistent - ie, I need to read it myself to believe it and read it more than once. But, to your point, I get it. You have a 2019. We have AI making insanely real deep fakes and movie edits in real time on command. We don't have an app or a sensible dash prompt that can tell me the state of the battery that is literally ensuring all my features in my working vehicle are working properly? I mean, if the battery goes you can instantly lose your power steering when turning across a highway. Seems like it should be a common feature in all vehicles - especially newer models.

    In the words of the great De'vondre Campbell Sr.: My answer to my fans is... <walks off the stage...didn't want to talk today>

    RHP Cody Ponce (of the famed 2019 Trade Deadline RHP Jordan Lyles acquisition) stays in the KBO signing a 1 year $1 Million deal with a $200K signing bonus with the Hanwha Eagles. He joins RHP Mitch White in the 'Former Brewers Million Dollar KBO Men' club. Despite decent peripherals, Ponce really struggled to keep men off base in 2024 in the parent League: More HERE

    Obviously, a lot of tools to work with and get excited about. I've looked behind the curtain since the announcement. I still have one question with the age and injury history: Has his development peeked? Let's hope he stays healthy so we can find out.
  10. Joseph Zarr
    It would appear the San Francisco Giants have re-upped LHP Ethan Small on a Minor League deal (he had previously been non-tendered as he did not qualify for arbitration) according to Baseball America. Small will look to bounce back after an injury filled (two separate 60-Day IL stints) 2024.
  11. Joseph Zarr
    That is incredible. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Joseph Zarr
    So, what you're saying is you took a Peek under the hood and you liked what you you found.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    Not to mention trading for two of them in Robert Moore and Hendry Mendez (really nice bounce back healthy campaign last year) just last year. Payton is an awesome guy and a really solid backstop with an underrated bat to boot. Phillies get another quality former Brewer. You love to see it!

    It's always encouraging when I you come away from a comment based in observation and you don't feel like a moron. Thank you for the small shot of validation. After today's goings on, I may have needed it. 😅

    When I watched Thomas face the Sounds (on well more than one occasion - as a reliever and then as a starter later in the year) the pitch that stuck out to me the most is the change-up. That's where I would butter the bread, so to speak, as the strikeout pitch. I don't know what the peripherals or the charts say about the pitch - ie, I haven't even looked into how often he threw it as a whole or how often he even threw it vs the Sounds 😆 - but I can tell you, from my vantage point and recollection and game notes, that was the pitch that impressed the most in the times I saw him in 2024.

    OK, excited to learn about these new players. This is definitively an area where the Brewers tend to cook.

    Man, I am taking hits left and right today. I just waxed poetic on Briceno in our last Mudcats pod. At least he goes to the Twinkies. There is solace. Just a very very solid baseball player. I will forever be salty he got zero AB's vs Fredericksburg. I may need some counseling after today.

    It would appear Musgrave is back off of IR? I would have gotten this in to y'all sooner but, to honor this transactional news, I took a poor angle and then tripped and fell on the way to my laptop. I hope you understand.
  20. Joseph Zarr
    I did not, no. That is a word above my 'in the trenches' pay grade. 😅
  21. Joseph Zarr
    They did take a Low Velo lefty. Starting pitcher by season's end with the Redbirds tho he began relieving last year. Change up is his pitch - at least in in the outings I saw vs the Sounds. Throws several fastballs but they all sit 89-92ish if I recall correct.

    It just gets worse doesn't it? This doesn't even get into...ok I'm getting into it...trading RHP TJ Shook for LHP Tyler Jay and now also rostering LHP Tyler Jay over Smith...and oh wait...we have the open spots, regardless. Matt Arnold right now: Our unanimous GM of the Year (well deserved) essentially traded RHP's TJ Shook and Shane Smith for INF Vinny Capra and LHP Tyler Jay. That's a zesty and contentious end-of-the-roster maneuver. I pride myself I can get worked up about this.😅
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Damn you.
  25. Joseph Zarr
    I will say this: The Brewers are carving out a very meaningful presence in the UDFA department. They've now added (and lost Mr. Smith, obviously - for now, at least) a RHP Shane Smith, RHP Chase Costello and a RHP KC Hunt. Here's looking to you RHP Miles Langhorne
