I really like Yelich / Winker / Adames / Tellez / Contreras as the front half of a lineup against righties. -
Okay, so this is really cheesy and kinda dumb but I love it.
-
I actually think the Bellinger pickup was pretty savvy, I expect a bounceback season from him. But you're right in that the bottom of the Cubs lineup is pretty bad.
-
The Jawa Sandcrawler, you mean? Ugh, I hate that thing.
-
The Twins do just that pretty much every year. Not sure why the Cubs don't. It's part of the reason why I'm kinda in favor of reducing the MLB season back to 154 games. Baseball wasn't meant to open play in March.

I woke up to 14 degrees in Minneapolis. BASEBALL SEASON WEATHER

Lineups to come later today!

I want to believe this is the case. I go into *every* season nervous about bullpens because of the individual variance but ultimately, I think I have more faith in the Brewers pitching dev system than I have fear of individual variance. But it’d still be nice to have one more lock down arm, which is a mantra repeated by 30 fanbases every March.

2023 Brewers Season Predictions (Post-ST)

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! -
My biggest concern is that something happens to Williams and then...

The way I see it is second options. This time last year, you had Hader and Williams. If one of them goes down with an injury or (as what happened) ineffectiveness with Hader, you slide everybody up one slot. Williams was a perfect candidate to do that and late innings were still in lock-down mode. This year, relying on Williams with more significant question marks behind him removes (or at least reduces) that depth. Almost every bullpen is somewhat nerve-wracking going into the baseball season but I'm on the side of this Brewers bullpen being one of the things I'm most concerned about on the team. That and the nebulous outfield situation. I don't have to squint very hard to see that turning disastrous for awhile until the team can figure out which one of Frelick, Mitchell, or Wiemer is ready for big league pitching.

I view it akin to the NBA. Others may feel differently but I don't like that 46 minutes of the game fly by and the final two minutes take 20 real-time minutes to finish. Slowing the game down a bit during tense moments is fine. But that will happen with the clock either way. Catchers will be slower to throw back to the pitcher. Fielders will slow down throws. More pitching changes will happen. All of that can and likely will happen without violating any rules of the pitch clock whatsoever. But it'll all be done without pitchers roaming around the mound, stepping off constantly, and all the things that I find absolutely aggravating late in games.

2023 Brewers Season Predictions (Post-ST)
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
90 wins would be fantastic, as I think that probably takes the division and it certainly earns a Wild Card berth. -
Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! I think the pen will be pretty good this year but a ton hinges on Williams. With the loss of Hader, there isn't a fall-back behind Williams that really makes the pen look great. Basically, there are several good arms but not the elite depth we've enjoyed the past couple of seasons. And given the general volatility of bullpen arms, that's slightly concerning.
-
For sure. I hope it has a cascading effect. More running and athleticism is good for the sport.
-
This is my take as well. Like most organizations, what the MLBPA cares about is money.
-
The union absolutely cares less about competitive balance. It's also not really their job to care, other than vaguely in the interest of "general health of the sport". The union represents its players, who generally have very short careers relative to MLB owners. The union also has far less influence over how owners distribute their funds, which is the core of the issue here.

Welcome aboard, we hope to see more of you in 2023!

I've said it a bunch of times but I don't get why AmFam's concessions are so lackluster. Most of the rest of baseball moved past that part of the fan "experience" quite some time ago. I can rattle off a half dozen things at Target Field that aren't just okay, they're legitimately good.

Free Season of MLB.TV for T-Mobile customers
Brock Beauchamp replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Same. It's like getting a free month of phone service because I'm buying MLB.tv anyway. Or it's better than a free month of service because my wife's firm pays our phone bill. -
Yet somehow, the cheese they actually serve you at the ballpark will look worse.
-
I'd classify Hiura as a AAAA guy but my opinion of AAAA guys is that they're generally pretty capable players with flaws who just haven't received a legitimate shot at regular playing time. That certainly fits a description of Hiura.

And two days ago, we launched. I wanted to announce this publicly so none of you are taken by surprise. Nothing will change here. I'm spending some time over there getting everybody situated but don't see myself taking a large role on that site, as I'm not a Cubs fan. I'm still going to be much more hands-on here given that I'm a, you know, Brewers fan. But they're a good group of folks over there and I scouted the site extensively before even considering the purchase. Like the old BrewerFan.net, they had kinda fallen by the wayside and while I'm not a Cubs fan, helping revive a community with the tagline "easily the least terrible faction of Cubs fans on the internet" seemed like a worthwhile endeavor. https://northsidebaseball.com/
