    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    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.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, the Brewers have been trending upward against LHP for quite some time now. The Twins uh... have not.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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?

    I'm out of the loop, having not watched a Brewers game in ten days (thanks, MLB blackouts!). As I get back into the flow of things, I'd like to lean on the community a bit for upcoming things of note. These could be 1,000 hits, ten years of service, whatever you think is interesting. This will help me immensely as I create graphics for social media and site usage. If you know of anything coming up soon, please share it here!

    The Brewers have the chance to go for a sweep today, which is an unexpected surprise given how badly the Dodgers series went.

    Last night looked like a wild one but given that I'm still under the grip of MLB's nonsensical blackout rules, I didn't get to watch it. Another win, please.

    The Dodgers series is mercifully over but the Rangers aren't much worse. Get a win on the books in the first game of the series, please.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    He needs a break. Since July 1 (obviously, ASG mixed in there) Yelich has played in every team game but one.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    ****. Every night for the several days I've forgotten that while I'm at the cabin, I'm at the mercy of MLB's blackout rules and cannot watch the Brewers.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I have a good feeling about tonight. I'm at the cabin, I'm wearing a Brewers shirt, and I fed my girls their first bratwursts soaked in Spotted Cow. If this doesn't get it done, nothing will.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    I meant shelled as in the score, not really how they got there. It wasn't a competitive game, the Brewers were stymied while the Dodgers just kept scoring a run here, a run there.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Of course he has been, that rat bastard. (I have an immense dislike of Lynn who was both terrible and a whiny, miserable SOB in his short stint with the Twins)
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, the Dodgers. While this isn't technically must-win, it's kinda must-win. The Crew has been shelled two nights in a row and for the third game they have Burnes on the mound against the eminently crushable and renown jerk, Lance Lynn. Beat the hell out of him, please. By the way, what the hell is with this 9pm start on a getaway day? Dick move, Dodgers. Dick move.
