If people weren't so wildly immature about calling the Cleveland team by their actual name, we wouldn't need a word filter in the first place so... *shrugs* -
Hah! That is actually a side effect of a word filter intended for the forums. It never occurred to me that it would take effect here in the news section. I'll have to investigate that and figure out how to disable it. I edited the article and set it to publish and it definitely read "Cleveland That-Other-Name" and not "Guardians".
-
This isn’t true, though. I’ve seen this situation talked about in every baseball group I’m a member of, including Twins Daily.
-
One is a front page news story and currently we cannot merge an article thread into a normal thread. I would have moved this thread this morning but it was so active I left it here for awhile longer. I’ll probably move it this afternoon some time One of my primary tasks later in the year is resolving the inability to merge an article topic into another topic.
-
And let’s be honest about this situation. A portly fella named Rowdy Tellez should ONLY play for the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s a 2-ish WAR mascot.
-
I’d probably pursue Lauer and Urias extensions first but if Rowdy could be had on a team-friendly deal, it’s a pretty good idea. I think he’s due to take a nice step forward this season. He won’t be an elite bat but I think there’s a little more upside there.

Neutrality isn’t necessarily an admirable trait. Sometimes people actually have opinions on things and that’s fine. Even with the weirdness and dumb rules of arb, having a star player openly talk about being frustrated/angry isn’t a good look for an organization. I guarantee Matt understands the nuances of arb, that’s not the issue here Matt isn’t here to defend the Brewers. He isn’t here to blast them, either. His role is to analyze what they do and come to a conclusion.
-
Let’s not make this personal. MVP is simply stating how arbitration works and their points are accurate. Whether it’s a bad system or not is kind of a separate argument, one I can’t recall seeing anyone make. Arb is considered universally awful by pretty much everyone.
-
To be fair to Attanasio, I doubt he had any involvement with Burnes in arbitration. The front office, on the other hand... yikes. This is just the latest Corbin Burnes situation of several where the team doesn't seem even remotely interested in putting their best foot forward with a superstar pitcher.
-
The entire arbitration system is a trash fire that should have been addressed in the latest CBA. It's in both parties' interests to not do it this way.

I think there's a fine line that can be walked on attacking early in the count. Watching a middle-middle fastball go by you has its consequences, too. First, it puts you in the hole 0-1. Second, it's probably the best pitch you'll see in that PA. While it's nice to run up opposing pitch counts, that in itself doesn't win baseball games.
-
If the Brewers aren't going to extend any of the big three, I like the idea of gaining an extra couple of years from some of their second tier players like Urias, Tellez, Lauer, etc. And the moment Chourio hits the majors, I want to see him locked down for 8-10 years.
-
Yeah, the PECOTA standings feel closer to right and I don't think I'm being a homer about either the Brewers or Twins on this one (if anything, I think PECOTA having the Twins marginally above the Brewers in wins feels a bit wrong). Placing the Cardinals 7-8 wins above than the Brewers doesn't feel right, which is what ZiPS did. The Cardinals have a bunch of old-ish players that performed well last season and I think they lose at least a couple of wins from the natural aging curve alone. I think the two teams are pretty similar with the Brewers having a bit more volatility to be better or worse than their projections.
-
Yeah, that was the posting snafu that happened when my five year old toggled a setting I didn’t notice.

Thanks for the post and welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
-
It's a never-ending battle and I really do keep user experience in mind - after all, I use the site as much/more than anyone - and appreciate the kind words!
-
I love new metrics and somehow I’ve gotten this far being unacquainted with SaSLG. I’ll have to dig into that a little more.
-
Dunno, the evidence Tim presents here is pretty convincing. To have such a low swing percentage on balls in the zone and be negative value on the most hittable pitches is something that should absolutely be addressed.

New Reactions on Brewer Fanatic
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Brewer Fanatic Issues & Suggestions
That's my hope. -
To be fair, 2022 baseball was the least entertaining baseball I've seen in my lifetime.
-
That’s a fair point given we’re discussing the NL Central. A loss of a couple of games does outsized damage to any Central team (in either league) seeing an easy path to the postseason that isn’t winning the division.
-
I just don't see this impacting more than a couple of games. Instead of facing good/bad teams, the aggregate opponent will be .500. When we're talking about changing about 20 games of the schedule, the net gain/loss there just won't be substantial most of the time. Instead of going 11-9, a team goes 9-11. That sort of thing.
-
I agree about the Diamondbacks. I think they have a really good shot at being a disruptive force in the NL Wild Card race. I don't have a real problem with an 83 win projection - as a 50th percentile projection, it's fine - but I'm surprised ZiPS likes the Cardinals that much more. While they're obviously a formidable team, I fee like a drop-off from Arenado and Goldschmidt is pretty likely and the Cards derived a ton of value from them last season while they still "only" won 93 games.
-
I agree but I'm not sure Wong was the right player to do that. Frankly, I would have been fine going in either direction with the Wong trade. I can see arguments for picking up someone like Winker or trading for prospects and don't feel particularly committed on the subject.
