Mark Feinsand of MLB polled a bunch of executives to see who they predict will land phenom slugger Juan Soto and one of them picked... the Brewers? Wait, what? In much more logical votes, the top vote-getter was the Padres, followed immediately by the Dodgers. Both teams make a lot of sense with a lot of young talent, good farm systems, and the willingness to pay Soto the gobs of money he's looking to land as he approaches free agency in a couple of years. Frankly, I don't think the Brewers have the horses to land Soto. They have Chourio - who is legitimately great right now - but the Nationals are likely looking for either young MLB talent or near-MLB talent, which the Brewers don't have a lot of right now, especially on the pitching side of things. And on top of the Brewers not having the horses, Milwaukee doesn't have the payroll to pay Soto into free agency, which makes this move a long-term rental. This move would force a full-scale rebuild in a couple of years after Soto leaves and an empty farm system needs to be restocked. Anyway, I thought this single vote was amusing enough to post about.

I’m a bit under the weather so I went to bed during the sixth inning. I see I missed absolutely nothing by doing so.

Brewers Group Tickets Down 600,000 to 400,000?
Brock Beauchamp replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Baseball really needs to alternate their times a bit. It's *really* hard to take my young kids to a game if it's not going to finish until after 10pm. If every third game started at 6:10 or even 6:40, it'd be a lot easier to attend more games. I don't think we need to change the start time of every night game but a little more flexibility would be nice. -
I expect the Red Sox to sell. It should also be noted that not only have they fallen out of the Wild Card race a bit, they're only half a game out of last place, as the Orioles have been much better recently as the Red Sox have faltered.

Introducing Dark Mode!
Brock Beauchamp commented on Brock Beauchamp's blog entry in Battle Your Tail Off
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll flip over to dark mode on my phone and see if I can replicate the issue. -
No. Most EVs don’t have a conventional transmission with gears. I think the Porsche uses a two speed but other than that, AFAIK all EVs are direct drive to the wheels.
-
Before anyone writes off an EV, I implore them to go find a model they like and test drive it. I can't see myself buying another ICE vehicle again unless it's another classic car. EVs are faster, smoother, and quieter than the equivalent ICE vehicle. From a daily driver standpoint, EVs are just better. And I say this as someone who is an avid motorcyclist and loves the sound and feel of a performance ICE vehicle. But EVs are just better driving if I'm going from point A to point B, which is 90% of my driving.
-
Most of this is wildly untrue, sorry. First an EV thrives in a traffic jam. The lack of wind resistance and regenerative braking increases range by a lot. If you were to drive 100 miles in traffic, it'd take a lot less juice than driving that same 100 miles at 75mph. Second, pretty much any dedicated public charger will charge an EV up to 80% in less than half an hour. I have a Chevy Volt - 55 miles range electric, then uses a gas generator - and I really regret not moving to the full-EV Chevy Bolt because I was worried about range. It's simply not a problem 95% of the time and for that other 5%, we have another car to use in those situations. I put gas in the Volt about once every two months. It'd be nice to be able to just skip over the filling station entirely instead.

Yeah, I just happened to forget a water bottle at our Brewer Fanatic event a few weeks ago so I had to pay the iron price of a concession stand water bottle... -
And that’s fair, I probably should have been more clear with my language. When looking at prospects, I tend to clump them in small groups, I rarely go 1/2/3/4/…

Hah, fair enough. I'm just so exhausted by it all I don't even care anymore. Drink bleach, eat tide pods, pump horse dewormer into your veins, whatever. I can't be bothered with any of it anymore.
-
That's just my personal take. It's not a dig on Quero, I just value closeness to MLB quite a bit. I'd put Chourio as #1, Frelick as #1b, then Wiemer and maybe Small in the second tier. After that, mainly due to proximity to the big leagues, are guys like Quero. And Brewer Fanatic users are pretty close to that thinking, too. After all, Quero is #8 on our prospect list. while all the other guys I mentioned are top four.

I find it fascinating that every player in the AL East isn't already vaccinated but whatever, not my problem.
-
It would be humanly impossible for me to care less about whether Cardinals players are vaccinated but there is some schadenfreude over them playing Toronto minus their two best hitters. You’re reading a lot more into this than there is, I’m just chuckling that St Louis is going against a very good team at a severe disadvantage.

What a sad sack of a franchise. I feel for their fans.
