  1. I thought this was a good read on how strikeouts are overblown by fans. They have their downsides compared to other outs but some of that downside is mitigated by the removal of an opportunity for multiple outs from a plate appearance. The Blue Jays and the Unloved Strikeout - Blue Jays - Jays Centre JAYSCENTRE.COM Many baseball writers see high strikeout rates as a major negative. But is a strikeout that much worse than another kind of out?
  2. Yeah, I'm curious to see Chourio get more time in center, as he looked a little lost in the corners last season. He wasn't bad but you could tell he wasn't comfortable. Seeing how he grades out in center as an MLB player will be something to note.
  3. While you're correct that owners tend to not care about the long-term health of the game much, I have two counterpoints: 1. You don't need 30 owners to agree, you need 24 to agree. Aim for that number and the Dodgers/Yankees can pound sand. They can't stop you. 2. While the future is unknowable, sports history has thus far shown that team valuations NEVER go down.
  4. A few people have had difficulty blocking users, including @markedman5 and @docduany. While I'm still unsure why this is happening, I think this workaround will resolve the issue. First, hit the link: https://brewerfanatic.com/ignore/ Use the autofill at the top of the page to find the correct user you want to block. You need to select their name from the drop-down so the system knows precisely who you want to block. Then make sure you check all the boxes below: posts, messages, replies, etc. Then hit update preferences or whatever it says and that should activate the ignore.
  5. Yes, but markedman has had some specific issues with ignore. Perhaps only with specific users. Now that I have specifics, I can try to replicate it and find out what is happening.
  6. Yeah, markedman made me aware of this, it's on my list of things to dive into now that I have specific examples but I won't be able to do so until after OD. I'll try to remember to make an announcement when/if I get it resolved.
  7. Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  8. On the latest episode of the Brewer Fanatic Podcast, the guys invite Andrew Wagner on to talk about Attanasio's comments and the hubbub from national writers. It's a really good conversation that gives a local perspective. I particularly found Andrew's comments about why "the local guys are lazy and didn't cover it" informative.
  9. Here we go again! (we'll do a couple of these a week for awhile, then switch to weekly)
  10. Several of you nailed this one right off the bat. It's Kevin Seitzer.
  11. This is probably a fine minor-league signing but having just watched Margot with the Twins last season, I have absolutely zero interest in ever watching Manuel Margot play baseball again.
  12. This was written over at one of our sister sites and it's a really good read. Examining The Cutting-Edge Technology In MLB Spring Training 2025 - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM Baseball analytics have evolved significantly since Bill James’ mail-order Baseball Abstracts. With technology producing up to seven terabytes of data per game, new data is readily...
  13. Sunday or Monday, I'm still working out a routine for how to do this.
  14. True, but I don't know if a radar gun was used or Statcast, which is very reliable and consistent.
  15. For sure, there's still a lot left to prove before anyone can consider Woodruff back to form or anywhere close to it.
  16. Yeah, which is why throwing 92mph is so promising. I've seen a few guys come back from shoulder surgeries 8-10mph slower than pre-surgery. They usually regain some, if not all, of that velocity over a couple of seasons but that does the Brewers absolutely no good on a one-year deal.
  17. I'm trying not to hype myself up but I fully expected him to come in at 88 in the early going. I'm ready to be hurt again.
  18. I don't create these images but I will pass along this information. Thanks for letting me know.
  19. Whoever the player in the OP is, he should probably be traded to save Mark some cash.
  20. This is a new thing we'll be doing on the forums. It's a fun little game where once a week, we post a player and you try to guess who it is. This is part of a push to offer more ways to interact with the site. This is the first (tiny) piece of the puzzle with more stuff launching around Opening Day and throughout the season. Let me know if you have suggestions how to improve it!
