Wanted at the Deadline: a Southpaw Killer
Brock Beauchamp replied to Caswell's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Given the number of injuries in baseball now, I think there'll be room in perpetuity. And once the postseason arrives, having that extra position player available off the bench is really useful. -
One of the things that bothers me most about electrification is that, like so many other things, we largely approached the problem bass-ackwards. The biggest, most inefficient vehicles should have been addressed first: fleet vehicles. School buses, delivery trucks, vans, fleet pick-ups... those should have been our first electrification. Instead, they're some of the last vehicles being addressed. Fleet vehicles are PERFECT for electrification; they drive around cities (where ICE are at their worst and EVs at their best), they drive limited miles per day (negating range issues), they're WILDLY inefficient, and they have a ton of downtime to recharge. Instead, the first cost-effective EV was the Chevy Bolt, a commuter car that replaces 40mpg ICE commuter cars. The net benefit there is at its lowest. Where the big changes can happen is in those larger, inefficient vehicles that sit around idling in traffic for a significant portion of the day.

Benintendi agreed to become vaccinated as part of the trade. *eye roll*

Using current technology, yes. But there are several varieties of batteries in development right now that are both more energy dense and far less damaging from a raw mineral aspect. Let’s not allow perfect to be the enemy of good in this situation. There are downsides to EVs right now - but they’re still overall a net benefit over ICE - and we’re just getting started. The first “real” EV hit the road just a decade ago when the Model. S released. We’re in the bottom of the first inning, there’s a lot left to play.
-
One aspect of EVs people don’t talk about enough is increased reliability and decreased maintenance. Once EVs mature, they’ll be far more reliable than an ICE vehicle because there is only a fraction of the moving parts. Second, they’re close to zero maintenance. No oil to change and even the brakes last way longer, as the electric motor does a lot of the braking instead of the rotors.

Honestly, he's not that far from his Marlins days right now. Going into today he had a 109 wRC+, which surely ticked up a couple of points after a very good game. His wRC+ numbers in Miami: 118, 118, 120, 134, 117. The obvious caveat being that Yelich has been very good for two months now and we have no idea if that will continue.
-
Archer has intermittent control issues, the rest of the bullpen is just really bad. They find ways to lose.
-
I’m taking a salty toddler to a doctor appt and pencilled this in as a Brewers win after the first inning. I should have known better given the way these two teams have played one another.
-
Kid is pure fire. He’s a huge asset for the Twins going forward. He was their minor league player of the year in 2021 and is showing every reason why.
-
This leadoff version of Yelich is absolutely critical in the second half and postseason. He has an OPS around .770 since June 1.

Oh, I think the Nats would be very interested in Chourio, I didn't make that clear... but I think the Brewers lack *other* pieces that would entice the Nats, at least in comparison to other farm systems, primarily close-to-majors pitching. And yes, acquiring 2.5 years of Soto is a HUGE get on its own but I think larger market teams will be willing to up the prospect haul knowing they can negotiate a 15 year deal with Soto. The Brewers are at a significant disadvantage in that regard. They pretty much have to negotiate for those 2.5 seasons and nothing more, I don't see any possible way they can have Soto and Yelich on the same roster consuming $60m per season.

EVs are WAY quieter than ICE vehicles. The only sound is wind and the tires on the road. If you slam the pedal down, there's an audible whine/whistle but other than that, the power plant is completely silent. When you first ride/drive an EV, it's kind of eery. Also, no vibration in an EV. Another way it's eery, especially at speed on a smooth road.
-
Good point, the Tigers have a stable of really nice relievers considering how utterly incompetent the team is as a whole.
-
Brewers with the huge pitching advantage today. Burnes over Archer and the Twins used every semi-competent reliever they have last night.
-
What was the best Brewers draft of the last 20 years?
Brock Beauchamp commented on ClosetBrewerFan's blog entry in ClosetBrewerFan
Yeah, without looking I'm assuming that's CF defense-driven. He was... not like dad... with the bat. -
I find it likely Stearns will pursue a good, but not great, reliever. And that's probably all the team really needs, someone to fill in the Boxberger role a little better than it's currently filled.
-
Davis is determined to win this game.
-
I’ve seen a lot of good pitching in my life. This isn’t it.
-
Damn nice catch by Davis.
-
In general, Twins fans always look for a way to be upset. This season has been almost comical with its negativity.
-
Urshela is really fun to watch in the field.
-
Yeah, smart move. Counsell going for the win here, the Brewers are sitting pretty if they win tonight given tomorrow’s matchup.
-
I’m generally averse to pure, unbridled anarchy. ?
