  1. Baseball is such a silly game. All that hitting and back and forth and a weak chopper is a walk-off.
  2. I asked my five year old who we're cheering for today and she screamed "BREWERS!" One cannot disregard the wishes of the five year old.
  3. Oh, there are certainly risks involved with Correa, one would have to be dumb to not believe that. All I'm saying is that the shenanigans around the Giants/Mets were pretty complicated (such as the Mets using literally the exact same doctor to evaluate Correa's ankle, resulting in the identical report) and should be weighed as such. And right now, Correa's ankle isn't a problem. It hasn't been a problem since he entered MLB nearly a decade ago. Could it start being a problem tomorrow? Absolutely, hence the caution from the Giants (I disregard the Mets almost entirely, I think they pulled some real shady **** in that situation). But right now, there's no indication it is or has been a problem from anyone, even inside the organization. I'll start to be truly concerned about Correa if it's June of 2024 and his OPS is still .730. There are a dozen factors that could be causing him to have a mediocre year and there simply isn't enough information to draw a real conclusion today.
  4. It's not spin, it's following the Twins closely and knowing people who are very familiar with the organization. Correa has been dealing with plantar fascitis, which might explain some of his current issues (but not all of them, such as how often he's missing on fastballs this year).
  5. Let’s just say I’m glad I’m not at AmFam today. Field level is going to be BRUTAL.
  6. Or he’s just a slow runner. JJ Hardy was slow af and an elite defender. If Correa can pivot and move laterally at an elite rate defensively, I suspect his ankle is just fine. (at least right now)
  7. Baseball is such a fun game, right? The Twins suck against LHP but manage to get to Miley and shorten his start. So the Brewers then string together 143 singles and blow the game open in a single inning. Such a silly game, this is. Today should be fun. Burnes is Burnes, he should be great. But in the other dugout is a revitalized Kenta Maeda, who returned from Tommy John, then a minor injury, and now has a 2.68 ERA in the ten starts since. Don't expect a lot of scoring in this one.
  8. His ankle hasn't been a problem at all and he has always been a very slow runner. His defense is still very good, too. Correa's problems this season have been rather baffling.
  9. Six singles. That's objectively hilarious.
  10. Yelich may as well go yard here just for fun.
  11. 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.
  12. If you can't hit homers, BABIPing the other team to death works just fine.
  13. Glad I'm over here and not on Twins Daily after Baldelli pulled Ober with 78 pitches.
  14. Just saw the most useless information I'll see in a score ticker today: "Reds Have Lost 5 Straight Games At Angels Stadium"
  15. It amazes me how good Contreras is at framing now. What the Brewers did with him defensively is mind-blowing. What a trade.
  16. Ah, overturned. Still a hell of a play.
  17. That was a hell of a play by Adames. Taylor is quite fast.
  18. This is an amazing post. I love it so much.
  19. Oh yeah, they’ll be providing the air conditioning at AmFam for the next two days.
  20. Miley playing the crafty veteran hand by throwing a pitch approximately every four seconds.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
