Oh, I was actually following the Brewers pretty closely at that point and was into it (though admittedly, not like most of you because I was in SoCal). It was insane, I was sooooo excited that Sabathia was just... incredible. It got to such a point that I was literally worried about Sabathia's arm and his pending free agency because he was THROWING SO MANY INNINGS, ALL THE INNINGS. At one point, didn't he almost throw three complete games in a row? (and to show my Brewers love, I didn't look that up, haven't seen it anywhere recently, just going straight up from memory) -
Brewers have found a market inefficiency by targeting relievers whose last names start with P.
-
You know, I thought about that a lot and I think the Contreras trade will eclipse it. That 2008 run was magical but it was like 15 starts, ended abruptly, and cost quite a bit.

Keep hitting 105mph and literally any contact profile plays, even Joey Gallo.

No, it's not. Here is a hilarious video of one of our Twins Daily founders (the closest thing to a baseball genius I've been close to) batting while his podcast-mate tries to catch a 100mph fastball. The podcaster is a pretty serious baseball player with cred, he's not just "a guy". https://twinsdaily.com/videos/twins-daily/parker-hageman-at-the-100mph-fastball-challenge-r138/

I've sat next to plenty of Cubs fans. They're not great. I think Cardinals fans are worse. At least the Cubs spend 95% of their existence being feckless twits who subvert their own attempts at success.
-
See, and that's why I dislike the Cards. Everything about their franchise just reeks of self-congratulatory arrogance and I cheer their downfall in every moment.
-
That trade would have actually been great for the Twins, too, had their bass-ackwards front office not traded Hardy for peanuts because they couldn't understand modern defensive metrics.
-
The weirdest thing about all of this is how not-rare Uribe's triple-digit velocity is nowadays. Such a weird thing to say.
-
Yikes. That play was awful in a few very distinct ways.
-
And I totally get it. I feel that way about the White Sox, actually. But it's not a Twins fandom thing because I don't feel that way about the Guardians at all. I guess I just choose one team to hate in a division and in the NLC, it's the Cardinals.
-
But to be fair, I admit I don't have the hatred for the Cubs that many of you do. I'm weird that way. I ******* hate the Cards but the Cubs are "eh, okay". I think it probably has to do with me spending quite a bit of time in Utah - a baseball dead zone, particularly in the early 90s - and the Cubs were literally the only team I could watch on the regular. I grew up watching a lot of Sandberg, Dawson, Grace, Dunston, etc. I don't cheer for the Cubs but I don't wish death on them, either. They're just kinda... there.
-
Fair enough!
-
Where is the Contreras trade going to rank in Brewers trade history when all is said and done? I think it's gonna be wayyyyy up there on the list.
-
Anybody who beats the Reds right now is okay in my book. I reserve the right to change my opinion on that daily. Don't mistake me enjoying the Cubs beat the Reds for cheering for anything but a Brewers division title.
-
Oh damn, I might need to flip over the Cubs game because they're shelling the Reds. Looks like a good time!
-
Put the kids to bed and the Brewers are winning when I come back. I'm going to go wake them up and put them to bed again! bbl
-
I have to say I'm not a huge fan of this whole "losing to the Nationals" thing the Brewers are trying out.
-
Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

After what happened last season, Arnold needs to pick up at least one more good arm. As Matt points out here, leaving things up to fate isn't enough. If you can put your finger on the scale even a little bit, you do it. That's especially true in this trade market, where there just aren't high-priced trades available. Work around the margins, do what you can. The Reds aren't exactly killing it at the deadline, either.
-
What? A tempered, rational take?
-
Fair enough. As I said but maybe didn't word strongly enough, we're going to change some things in the coming days. One of them is to take a bit more of a breather and be able to edit some pieces more fully. I admit that I have been glossing over content FAR more than I should during the editing process and will work harder to change that going forward. We've been introducing a ton of new voices lately and getting them on-boarded and up to speed has made us a little too lax about the content itself. But thank you for the feedback, seriously, I need to be reminded what I'm missing at times and this is definitely a thing I've been missing.

We're actually implementing a few changes after the deadline regarding articles. But sometimes, people are gonna write some clunkers. We believe in fostering young/inexperienced writers, it's part of our mission statement. And sometimes, those writers are gonna lay an egg. We're going to work to cut down on some of the most egregious issues - this is our first year with three sites and the deadline has gotten a little out of hand - but at this site's core, it's about building a community and giving voices to those who wish to be heard. And with that comes some bumps and bruises along the way.

Mitchell, yes. Quero,
