    I'm surprised you left out the Orioles. Since last winter, I've been angry on behalf of their fanbase. They were sitting in a prime position to pursue free agency and/or trades after a really solid second half of 2022... instead, they did basically nothing and kinda lucked themselves to 100 wins when they could have been a truly great team with the right moves. Their ownership really owes the fans some serious spending and wheeling and dealing this winter.

    Lots of players named Alvarez.

    I have some sympathy for Bonds and I think more baseball fans should, too. By all accounts I've seen, he was clean until the very end of the 90s. 1998 broke him. He was the best player in baseball and had been for some time. I suspect seeing McGwire and Sosa go off in 98 angered him to such an extent that he said "if you think steroids made them great players, you ain't seen **** yet" and literally became the greatest force in baseball history, even including Ohtani. And I kinda get that, particularly with his family's history with the media, coverage, and just kinda crappiness (the media was pretty brutal to his dad from what I've read, it's no wonder Barry walks around with a chip on his shoulder).

    He’s the closest thing to Barry Bonds since… you know, Barry Bonds.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    A straight up ass kicking.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    No, but they had a winning record against .500 teams and the second half Twins are quite different than the first half Twins. They were boosted by the general incompetence of the ALC but not as much as you might think.

    Here are the FanGraphs' BaseRuns records by matchup. The early results don't seem so out of line when approached this way (and none of this factors current team health, second half performance weight, etc). Phillies (94-68) vs Braves (103-59) - two very good teams battling one another, no shock here Diamondback (80-82) vs Dodgers (101-61) - this is the only real surprise but Kershaw was bad and then the Dodgers had to face Gallen Twins (92-70) vs Astros (89-73) - this shouldn't surprise anyone other than Twins fans used to losing every postseason game Rangers (97-65) vs Orioles (89-73) - the Orioles just aren't that good (yet), why is anyone surprised by this

    If a change is going to be made, this is the right path to take. People are making WAY too big of a deal about the "favorites" being down early. Kershaw pitched like garbage. The Phillies are really good and it's no surprise they're challenging the Braves. The Twins are just as good as the Astros. Baltimore simply is not as good as their record indicated. What's the big deal here? Every postseason shakes out in crazy, unpredictable ways.

    He exceeded rookie status in 2022.

    Garver just can't stay healthy and it's a bummer. He was a menace behind the plate early in his career and the Twins - they're kinda Brewers-lite in this regard - have a knack for taking hit-first "catchers" and turning them into legitimate MLB catchers. Garver was their first success story and four years ago, his future was as bright as could be... and he hasn't played in more than 87 games in a season since.

    If he'll work for McDonald's gift certificates, Oakland might be interested.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't think they'll decline it but he's pricey enough that the cost for him shouldn't be high.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Awhile back, I proposed a Wiemer for Miranda (and probably plus) deal. I think it makes sense for both teams. Strong disagree on Julien, I think he's borderline untouchable from the Twins perspective. His defense is shaky at second but good lord, that bat and discipline. His discipline is elite with his absolute refusal to swing at balls out of the zone but also has pretty good power. As for Polanco, I think there's a pretty good chance the Twins are looking to deal him and if the price is right, I'd definitely want Polo on the Brewers. He gets injured too often, is getting older, but takes professional PAs and is a really nice stabilizing force in a lineup.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it would be minimized and likely not exist at all. LOOGY guys usually have fewer pitches and get into less of a rhythm due to how few batters they face overall. But it'd still be interesting to see the numbers.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I found this really interesting. Obviously, this is only talking about Montgomery but I'd like to see a more comprehensive look at lefty starters in general to see if this is wider-ranging than just one pitcher. http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/article/plesac-says-to-not-stack-your-lineup-with-rhh-against-lhp
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, if I was trying to make a trade with the Twins for a power bat, I'd try to get Trevor Larnach on the cheap. He just hasn't had a healthy run with the team and keeps being squeezed out of the roster. His price should be quite low and his upside is still quite high.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    He's relatively legit. I don't know if he's 144 wRC+ legit but there's a good chance he sticks as an above average corner bat. His defense, I'm not so sure about. His range is lacking but he has a 99th percentile arm and that's not an exaggeration. Joey Gallo said Wallner has the strongest arm he's ever seen. Joey Gallo. He's the classic power lefty guy: big power, questionable hit tool, Ks a bunch, good discipline, kinda bad or bad defense at a corner spot. So overall, Wallner is an intriguing player that I think is overperforming a bit. But maybe this is just who he is; considering how many times the Twins have had a power lefty bat come up and underperform, maybe it's time for them to have one come up and overperform.

    A sense of dread came over me when Longoria caught that and, in the end, that was the turning point of the series.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Immensely disappointed because the Brewers team I watched over the final 60+ games didn't look or feel like the one I saw for two games in the postseason. I think it's probably time to shake things up significantly this offseason. Focus on building out around the current young core, maybe to the detriment of 2024.

    Welcome to the site! I don't know if I'm ever "proud" of people who boo a player but man, booing Winker in that situation was pretty warranted. And it's not even really Winker's fault; he didn't put himself on the roster.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, that also happened, no doubt about it.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Literally nothing has gone the Brewers' way this series. Not gonna win when the baseball gods are peeing on you.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Wiemer is a great postseason roster guy at the end of a bench. He can play up the middle defense, he can run, and he has some useful offensive capabilities against LHP.
