  1. Nice! I had to log off in the eighth and assumed the Brewers lost 3-2 until I checked a moment ago.
  2. I think the message here is "go for it but temper expectations by also looking forward at the same time as you're competing". Which is why I believe more in the Brewers strategy than the Padres, even though being a San Diego fan is a lot of fun right now. Maybe it ends in a trophy, maybe it doesn't.
  3. Well, that's just... disappointing. I'm heart-broken.
  4. Yeah, that kind of fluctuation isn't aberrant from a pitcher. If you see it over five starts, maybe. Over one, eh, whatever.
  5. Not quite but it appears to be down. Tonight 4-seam: 91.7 2021 4-seam: 93.4
  6. I literally do not understand anything that is being said here.
  7. Not sure if this is a joke... He has a career .862 OPS against RHP and a career .590 OPS against LHP.
  8. He has started one game since 2019 so that's a safe bet (it appears the Rays just acquired him).
  9. It was a bridge time, for sure... but Milwaukee isn't as ideal for a downtown setting as many parks. Sure, there are parts of downtown or downtown adjacent that could have been leveled for a park but the 43/94/794 really split up the city in unfortunate ways. Unless they were able to cram a park into the absurd footprint a la Target Field, getting a park close to an enviable downtown spot without tearing down historical neighborhoods is hard. Kansas City is kinda the same way. If not for Kauffman being so great, KC would have to face some hard questions about how to place a park in a miniscule downtown area surrounded by stupid freeways. I'll save everyone here a rant on how destructive American freeways were to downtown cities, all of which was completely intentional and short-sighted.
  10. I think more of the latter. When negotiating with 29 other GMs - at least 20 of which are as smart as Stearns - you have to wait for the right moment and trade. You have to work in the margins and be right a lot of the time and that means waiting for the right opportunity.
  11. You should be able to edit the title by editing your first post. If you ever cannot do this, just ping any online moderator (the Online Users box to the right of content on desktop, look for any green or bolded blue name).
  12. I waited it out and it's now August... If you see a future for this forum, please say so and let me know why, otherwise I'm going to fold it into a different forum. Thanks!
  13. A really great breakdown of the week, its fallout, and the state of the organization.
  14. Petco is located adjacent to the Gaslamp Quarter, the biggest dining/drinking area of San Diego and just lovely. It's also very close to the beach. They had to tear down a substantial portion of an arts district to build Petco, which was quite controversial at the time. "Downtown San Diego" is barely a thing; it's where people work (and not far from Petco but also not a place where people hang out, that's the Gaslamp). Petco is somewhat downtown adjacent but that's not what makes its location great, that's the Gaslamp.
  15. Adjust that chart to only the Stearns era and that's damned impressive.
  16. No, that's this season. And arm counts very little in the OF - especially LF - compared to speed and route-taking. An arm comes into play maybe once a week while speed and range come into play multiple times every game. A big reason why Yelich is still valuable is because he's way above average at getting on base, which is literally the most valuable thing a batter can do.
  17. Stearns has absolutely earned the benefit of the doubt but I pretty strongly disagree with the Bush/Kelly trade. I also acknowledge that I’m not a professional baseball analyst and will sit back and watch the situation unfold before declaring myself unequivocally correct.
  18. @Brewcrew82 @NBBrewFan @brewers888 Cut it out, all of this. I’m going to start issuing warning points from here on out of everyone can’t keep it civil and respectful. It’s not a big ask, you’re all Brewers fans. Any more personal accusations or attacks will be rewarded with points, after accumulating a few you will not be able to post on BF.
  19. The move isn’t indefensible but it IS puzzling. Time will tell whether it was hubris or not. One thing fans always need to keep in mind is that we’re using, at best, 20% of the knowledge of the organization to evaluate things. Not only don’t we see personal makeup or underlying issues, our evaluation stats are rudimentary.
  20. Cheap guys don’t stay cheap forever.
  21. Eighth best MLB LF according to FanGraphs. Even an elite prospect would struggle to top that in his rookie season and Frelick is nowhere near an elite prospect. I wouldn't even call him a great prospect. He's good, has a solid chance to become a good MLB starter.
  22. No trade clauses have no impact on whether a player is placed on waivers and lost for nothing in return.
