    For any of you watching this game at Home: This is exactly what watching a Minor League baseball game feels like. To a 'T'. Welcome to my Man Cave. 😅
  2. Joseph Zarr
    Ahhhh ,yes. Zavi airmailing a routine throw to 1B. Hurt me.
  3. Joseph Zarr
    It twas and is, yes. LOL. I think I just wanted to speak like I was in 'The Matrix'.

    It's the old adage: Make the routine, routine. Occasionally make the spectacular. Then, everyone forgets the rest.

    Nice work Mr. Anderson! You love to see it.

    The thing is, we can say "Oh it's a spring training game." And, yes, it absolutely is. I've seen those exact 50/50 plays swing entire games at Nashville. He had a two error game early in the 2024 season at 3B. They lost the game because of it, essentially. You can not have that at the MLB level. He kept the ball in front of him there. That's a plus move. Tip the cap. Would we like to see him stab that and save a run and save? Absolutely. We want that and we should expect that a majority of the time for a plus MLB 1B. BUT, in that instance, he kept the ball in front of his body. That's acceptable. BUT, then to throw that type of throw to the back stop? Come on. Can't have it. It's what is so frustrating about his entire body of infield work. I'll keep going back to it: I personally feel, at this point, we're forcing a square peg in a round hole. Black's best position is the OF and it's by a considerable margin. I've seen the vast majority of his Minor League infield work. I've seen enough. It just is not dependable. The Brewers would be very very wise to settle him into an OF and DH role.

    That sums up the Tyler Black experience. He's just not going to save you a run. And then throws the ball to the backstop. I'm not saying that's an easy play. It isn't. BUT you just never know what you're going to get play-to-play on the infield.
  8. Joseph Zarr
    I don't really care about that run. Nice piece of hitting on a heater on the inner corner of the zone. I really like RHP Elvin Rodriguez. That's a quality signing.
  9. Joseph Zarr
    Hey if you're going to hit em, hit em when they least suspect it.
  10. Joseph Zarr
    Not much more to add other than a solid solid depth piece. Hard to complain about this type of vet at this stage of the off-season at that price.
  11. Joseph Zarr
    Ostensibly, this is a very very solid back-of-the-rotation add at this late point in the off-season. Major boon to the overall quality depth of the staff. Plus, now he can't inexplicably shut down the Brewers bats once again. I think Ashby stays on board as a stretch swing man/6th Starter.Either way, the Crew suddenly has a wealthy of lefties. Wild times.

    I think you'll appreciate this. From Tony Pauline via conversations at the Combine:

    Last I remember hearing the Packers and Walker's Agent(s) were talking new deal? Maybe I am misremembering.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    Seems like an overpay for McDuffie but I am sure the Packers like his dependability and see him as an improving player who fills a need in the middle of their defense. He is available. Dependable. Plays downhill. They have familiarity. That's a Top 40 contract as of today, however, at his position.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    If I'm not mistaken, the Brewers now have Melvin; Klentak; and Eppler listed as an Executive Assistant or Executive and Special Advisor to Matt Arnold. I personally love giving Arnold this level of acumen and support. I do believe Eppler has been named as an advisor for scouting and baseball ops so perhaps that's a wee different?
  16. Joseph Zarr
    This is a real simple question with an even simpler answer:
  17. Joseph Zarr
    Well this certainly is interesting if nothing else. I'll be interested to hear what they have planned here. Any way you look at it a small market like the Brewers swooping in and grabbing a former Yankee Director of Scouting and Assistant GM; the Angels GM; and the Mets GM certainly says something. What exactly that is will be revealed over time.
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Yes. Remember I was mistaken mis-remembering in season. I then followed up after the season because to my eyes it seemed he 'left some on the plate', so to speak. Turns out he did and he shifted back to his heater profile after having to commit to the new blend of pitches. I now see it kind of like Logan dropping his slider for near two seasons!😅 Anywho, this knowledge only made me dislike the non-40 Man add even more. Serious cope needed here!
  19. Joseph Zarr
    I knew his bullpen and training sessions were sitting 97-98 after last season, yes. 99.6 is not surprising in the least in a jacked up ST game. *btw I am not referring to any conversations we have had - convos pertaining to in-season statcast data*
  20. Joseph Zarr
    You mean THIS Shane Smith? I will never (and I mean NEVER) understand this decision. Didn't make sense then. Doesn't make sense now. I am in 'Loss of Smith' Rehab. It is ongoing. That's 99.6 mph. Yes. I was told he couldn't do this. Those who know? Know.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    Damn you. Just no no no. 🫠 (Go Shane! Seriously. Go Shane!)
  22. Joseph Zarr
    How has Rule 5 Lefty Connor Thomas looked? I keep seeing impressive Box Scores. But, I am perusing these while cleaning up my forest firebreak. Anyone have any data or thoughts here?
  23. Joseph Zarr
    Not to mention, despite what others here have opined, in Musgrave I consistently see a player who lacks fluidity in his routes. He is fast, sure, but I continue to believe he just may not be that great of a football player. I sincerely hope I am wrong. But, after two years, I don't see it. And, for two years, as you point out, he has gone through long stretches of no availability. Like highly questionable post-season O-Line shuffles the Packers do seem enamored with holding on to limited oft-injured TE's. I present you one TE Tyler Davis, your honor. At least with Musgrave he has youth. I personally distinctly see a need for adding another TE prospect into their current mix if indeed they actually are walking the 'iron sharpens iron' mindset. I reallllllly wanted Warren but that is a pipe dream. In the end, I am just extremely grateful they have Kraft. He's a complete stud. Is TE a major need? No. Hard to find another player as impactful as Kraft. Would it be a luxury to add top end depth to the TE room? Absolutely. And a luxury I'd love to see as a fan. I think my Day 2 Guy is Terrance Ferguson out of Oregon. That's a guy I'd love to add to the TE mix in GB.

    Nevermind. Took me two minutes. There are whispers indeed:
