  1. Montreal should get the Expos back. Baseball is better with the Expos in it.
  2. While also competing against above average hitters.
  3. I call the Rangers' new stadium "Wish.com Stadium" because it looks like it does while the concept drawing was this...
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Okay @edfunderburk and @TURBO and others, I think I have this streamlined pretty well. Every morning I'm logging in and moving yesterday's stories - unless they've received new comments in the past 12-ish hours - to the news forum. Right now in the Brewers forum, there are two article topics out of (I think) 30 topics listed. That way we're guaranteed a couple of new topics every day while also not dominating the Brewers forum and pushing user-generated content out of the viewport.
  7. Just gross. Seeing a team want out of a 20 year old, BASEBALL ONLY, stadium is just gross. Yeah, when teams were moving out of places like the Metrodome and Kingdome, more power to them. Those places were boring dumps that were bad baseball experiences. But this latest wave of stadiums, particularly what happened in Atlanta, is just yuck. Taxpayers should be telling these teams to pound sand. It's not like the Braves were going to leave Atlanta.
  8. There were absolutely some bumps and bruises along the way and this is a learning process for us, as we’re figuring this out as we go along. We always wanted Brewers writers but finding them took time. We’re now past that stage. Other than Matt Trueblood - who is just a baseball savant and I challenge anyone to find problems with his work - everyone who writes on the site is a Brewers fan.
  9. Yeah, that was the posting snafu that happened when my five year old toggled a setting I didn’t notice.
  10. What strategy is there in throwing out a position player who throws 73mph so Anthony Rendon can literally stand on the wrong side of the plate and hit a home run? And how does putting a non-pitcher on the mound "get the game over with"? If anything, it only prolongs the agony.
  11. Because from a spectating perspective it's awful, borderline making a farce of the game. When it happened a couple of times a season, it was a novelty. Now that it's happening constantly, it's bad for the sport by intentionally fielding uncompetitive play after people paid money to watch the event.
  12. I think this is pretty accurate, though I'd prefer the Brewers gamble a little in the "risky" area of that conversation. Say if Winker posts a 130 OPS+ and plays 135 games, I'd seriously consider giving him the QO but at that point, there's a chance he'd accept the offer.
  13. Thanks for the post and welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  14. So I've been moving older Article threads out of the Brewers forum. My plan is to keep an article there for a day or so unless it's really getting a lot of comments and then shuffle older articles to the News forum. The Brewers forum first page now goes back about two weeks, which is quite a long time in forum terms. I appreciate everyone's feedback on this and we will continue to adjust as necessary.
  15. 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!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. An extension through 2043? That’s a long time from now. What I’d like to see is states and municipalities boycott funding baseball until the sport fixes its broken economic system. But expecting that kind of wide-sweeping unity - even if it serves everyone’s interests - will never happen.
  19. The first notable day of the year!
  20. To be fair, 2022 baseball was the least entertaining baseball I've seen in my lifetime.
  21. I'm glad they did something to stop the trend of position players on the mound. I think there were a few courses of action they could have taken - such as declaring eligible pitchers before a game - and this solution is just fine.
