Huh. An interesting note about the 96th percentile arm. It will be interesting to see if that moves downward with more playing time. -
I don't know if there's anything Mitchell can show in ST to change his evaluations. Given his high K rate against MLB pitching, that doesn't translate well to spring training games when good pitchers walk to the mound saying "I'm going to throw my not-great changeup 40% of the time today" or batters get to face AAA pitchers with no real shot at pitching more than a handful of innings in the regular season. Mitchell could look fantastic in spring training by feasting on bad/in-process pitches and have absolutely none of it translate to the regular season. Which is kinda why I'm leaning toward putting him out there to start the season; give him another legit shot and see what happens but be prepared to pivot to Frelick in a hurry.

I generally agree with this. There just isn't a ton of upside of pushing Frelick right to the majors at the expense of Mitchell for less than a month of play. Mitchell's peripherals terrify me and I'm pretty low on him overall but he held his own last season, enough to put him first in line to start this season.

Heheheh, great podcast, wanted to support them. -
I'm a big advocate of baseball stadiums being right in the heart of a metro area, which I find frustrating about AmFam. But that's just me, I'm not a big tailgater. I love parks like Petco and Target Field largely because they're so walkable. You find a way to get to the area and then do a bunch of stuff sans car.

Yeah, more than I thought he did. 39 games in 2018 but only two in 2019.
-
Which is usually the case with really bad players in up-the-middle positions.

And the decision has been made.

Clancy decided to treat Yelich as a right fielder for the purpose of this series and that publishes tomorrow morning.

I mean really, only five teams won the World Series during that span, as the Astros won twice. I'm as disappointed as anyone by the postseason performances since 2018 but as a fan of smaller market teams, I'd drive myself insane if it was "World Series or bust" every year. Still, getting bumped in the first round every year isn't an acceptable outcome to me, either.

I'm not "over" him per se but I'm ready to move on. His perpetual "will he or won't he" situation over the past few years has worn out its welcome. I don't have anything against the guy but would like to see a long-term front office settle in and give the franchise a little more stability.

I feel like granular park effect is something we talk about a fair amount in baseball but rarely dig into the specifics. Like "this player pulls to right-center, how does that play in Park X?" Not "right field is short" or whatever but the actual spray charts and specifics. It's one of the reasons I so like the Twitter account (with the most absurd name ever) "Would It Dong". https://twitter.com/would_it_dong

When does the current contract expire?
-
Oh, for sure. If this really goes down, the short-term could be quite ugly for a bunch of franchises across three sports.
-
In the long run, it's a good thing for the sport if Bally fails miserably. The NBA, NHL, and MLB should buy up the RSNs. They should have done it when Fox sold. If they don't want to do that, sell to a new media company like Amazon or Apple and let them dismantle the entire system.
-
I might know a guy who can see into the future (ie. read unpublished pieces in the hopper) and your concern will definitely be addressed in the RF piece.
-
Yeah, all MLB owners probably have their shady pasts but Crane seems like a real jerk. Which kinda fits in line with how the Astros as a whole have operated for the past decade.
-
I'd rather work for Cohen 11 times out of 10.
-
Honestly, once Cashman was extended, what might happen with Stearns kinda dropped off my radar. I assumed he was a possibility for the Mets, then maybe the Yankees, and I kinda forgot about the Astros being the Astros and losing their head honcho after winning a World Series. I'd hate to see Stearns land there because the Astros have become such an easy-to-hate franchise and I have nothing against Stearns, he seems like a perfectly reasonable fellow. His going to the Astros would conflict with my quiet dislike of the entire organization.

Brian Anderson to Brewers!!!! Yes!!!
Brock Beauchamp replied to DR28's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Some people always carry an eye to the future even to the detriment of today. I see it *constantly* in small/mid-market fanbases. Thankfully the Brewers front office would not be silly enough to trade a key piece during the middle of a postseason run. Oh, wait. -
What are all of your favorite pre-game activities (other than tailgating). Where do you start your game experience? And then how do you get to the stadium? Are some of the Bluemound bars still offering shuttles? I haven't used them in over 10 years so I'm unsure of what still exists.

Yeah, Jason did a hell of a job breaking down the zone in this piece and highlighting Contreras' strengths and weaknesses... and this is his first story on the site. Well done, Jason! Also, I'll try to push the second part of this piece out later today. I'm a bit underwater this morning.
