    Yelich may as well go yard here just for fun.

    Live camera from Twins Daily

    Oh, I don't even fault Correa much for that. It happens. He's still *very* good defensively. I was laughing because this inning is just ridiculous. And now it's even more ridiculous. Another single.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    I mean, LOL.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    If you can't hit homers, BABIPing the other team to death works just fine.

    Glad I'm over here and not on Twins Daily after Baldelli pulled Ober with 78 pitches.

    Just saw the most useless information I'll see in a score ticker today: "Reds Have Lost 5 Straight Games At Angels Stadium"
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    It amazes me how good Contreras is at framing now. What the Brewers did with him defensively is mind-blowing. What a trade.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Ah, overturned. Still a hell of a play.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    That was a hell of a play by Adames. Taylor is quite fast.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    This is an amazing post. I love it so much.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh yeah, they’ll be providing the air conditioning at AmFam for the next two days.

    Miley playing the crafty veteran hand by throwing a pitch approximately every four seconds.

    The Twins are a bigger market, for sure. Minnesota and Wisconsin are similar in size but where the Twins get to spread out across Iowa and the Dakotas, the Brewers are squeezed by the Twins from the west and the Cubs/Cardinals from the south. Twins Daily is currently in its... 12th season? I think? So yeah, it's been around for a lot longer. If Brewer Fanatic ever gets to 75% of Twins Daily's current size, I'd be thrilled. But had you asked me six years ago, I would have been ecstatic if Twins Daily was half its current size so... *shrugs* Twins Daily is a bit of a unicorn. Its size and scope punches so far above the weight class of a mid-market upper midwestern team. During the height of the Carlos Correa saga in Dec/Jan, one tracking website had Twins Daily as the 19th busiest baseball website on the internet (it more regularly sits in the 40-ish range). The 19th most popular baseball website on the entire internet. My mind still reels at that thought.

    It's contextual. If the Twins were one game up on the Guardians, I'd lean toward them. But the current situation has the Brewers in the more vulnerable position so I'm leaning in their direction. In the end, I want both teams to win their division and advance in the postseason. If it got to the World Series? Well, that's tricky. I'm far more financially invested in the Twins' success (Twins Daily is several magnitude larger than Brewer Fanatic) but the Brewers have never won a World series so that'd be a whole different level of fun.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm leaning more toward the Brewers in this particular series because they need it more, which I kinda implied in the previous post. But all things being equal, I'm more interested in seeing competitive games than one team to win.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I just hope both teams have fun! Seriously though, I don't have a strong rooting interest in either direction. Both the Twins and Brewers are in similar positions - the Brewers in a slightly weaker position due to the ALC being a trash fire - and mostly, I don't want to see the Twins win both games. A split is good and the Brewers winning both won't seriously damage the Twins' position.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    But if the team isn't going to offer him arbitration and has no plans to give him another legitimate shot this season because they feel they have equivalent players already on the roster, may as well get the prospect back. Is that the decision I would have made? I'm not sure. But I also think it's a reasonable place to land on a decision.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    To continue this entirely pointless conversation, I think the 0.5 take is correct because teams don't always play 162 games. Of course, the caveat to this is if a team is in contention, they absolutely will play 162 games but given that there are regular examples of teams agreeing to skip a rainout and play 161 because no one cares, I'm sticking with the 0.5 take. To point out a specific case this could happen, a team is tied with another team for a postseason position but have already lost the tiebreaker to their rival. Their game 162 is against a last-place team that was rained out in August. Both teams could choose to not play this game at all. That would finish the season with that team finishing 0.5 games behind first place. I will not die on this hill, for the record.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah. If the team isn't going to use a guy and will decline retaining him in the offseason, may as well trade him. And given the Monasterio/Anderson duo, I think that was a pretty reasonable decision.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    It should also be noted that Ober is well above and beyond his previous high in innings and *may* be in a bit of a dead arm phase right now. It's hard to predict what to expect from him right now, whereas earlier in the season he was a rock-solid #2 pitcher.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, the Brewers have been trending upward against LHP for quite some time now. The Twins uh... have not.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I get the reasoning, I should have specified "why is the opposite used so rarely?" It seems to me there are specific cases where using the opposite approach is beneficial, like having a groundball pitcher on the mound with the expectation your defensive third baseman will bat twice and then exit the game, even if that starter is still in the game for an inning or two. You get the bulk of that starter's innings with the best defensive alignment possible but also try to minimize that defensive player's offensive liability.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins are in town! Ober is a deceptively good pitcher who relies heavily on his gargantuan frame to throw pitches that look faster than they actually are. But the Brewers have the distinct advantage tonight, as they're putting a pitcher on the mound who throws with Satan's hand. The Twins are feckless idiots against lefties and someone as good as Miley (when healthy) should be able to manage this lineup for several innings.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I've often wondered about this. Why do teams prioritize scoring in the first 2/3rds of the game and then defense for the final 1/3rd? Why not the opposite?
