  1. A few days ago on Chourio from Murph. Feels prescient after today.. “But,” Murphy added, “he’s young, and he’s human like everyone else. I want to warn people that there will be a 1-for-30. There’s going to be one.
  2. Lol another Mickey Mouse home run...
  3. My guess is Frelick is going to be taking off here.
  4. Not a terrible start given the Yankee Stadium unicorn special.
  5. I know we have the win total prediction thread, but it's also fun to make predictions about individual players, too. Here's what I have following ST, and I'm curious to see other people's opinions on some of these categories: MVP: Contreras (Chourio has a higher WAR season but Contreras remains as invaluable as ever behind the plate) Cy Young: Peralta (new slider/cutter helps lead to best season since 2021) Best Newcomer: Cortes (replicates 2024/2022 performances) WAR Leader: Chourio (5.6) HR Leader: Hoskins (31) Breakout(s): Ortiz (becomes clear top 15/10 SS as he hits like healthy 1st half self), Yoho (becomes primary setup man) Bounceback(s): Yelich (healthy 130+ games), Frelick (hits above .270 with an above average OBP and 10 or so HRs), Hoskins (hits many bombs another year removed from ACL injury without the lows of last season) Disappointments(s): Mitchell (K issues finally catch up to him) Hudson (unable to rediscover first half form), Payamps (suffers from 2023-2024 usage) All-Star(s): Chourio, Contreras (starters) Bold Prediction: Joey Ortiz puts up a higher WAR than Willy Adames.
  6. 89-73. Make the postseason. Ho hum.
  7. I would be shocked if Yoho does make the OD roster given that he's not yet on the 40 man, and the Brewers go for preserving depth 99.9% of the time.
  8. Precisely. Get your best hitters as many ABs as possible.
  9. Chourio in CF for the first time with the MLB club. Love it as I think he’s more than capable and provides the team with more flexibility with Perkins out.
  10. Do you see anybody here giving them "A's" for their offseason? Because I see mostly C's and D's. So much for "blind optimism".
  11. RBIs has a lot less to do with winning than WAR I can tell you that. It’s a team stat that’s largely dependent on who gets on base in front of you.
  12. Who cares about RBIs in the year 2025. The name of the game is wins which is why I used WAR.
  13. Your exact words were “definitely not” about a majority of them…. When over a 162 game pace that’s exactly what Chourio would have done with his post-June pace. And like I said Chourio isn’t the only young player that could improve.
  14. Yes I have. Which is why I’m increasingly questioning if you even watched the last one.
  15. No we lambaste you because you jump up and down about how the Brewers are incapable of advancing past the 1st round of the postseason, while dismissing that if their all-star closer had pitched an inning of one run ball they would have done just that.
  16. I mean they had four months to make adjustments last year, and they didn't, including in the postseason. I would say William Contreras and Christian Yelich are fine enough protection to put around him in the lineup. Willy Adames put up a 3.0 bWAR last year. Chourio put up a 3.0 bWAR in the second half alone, which is an over 6.0 bWAR pace over a full season. So, to say definitively that he can replace only a "fraction of them" isn't really borne out of reality. Not to mention we have plenty of other young guys on this team who could improve and help fill in the gap.
  17. You don't think we can expect any of our young guys, like Chourio, to bite into those numbers with improvement?
  18. Not as confident as I am in saying Tyler Black will not be playing any 3B for this team.
  19. I've got them at a C-. Getting Cortes for Devin makes this a better rotation than last year, and arguably doesn't downgrade the bullpen much if at all considering how little Devin pitched for us last year. But they really needed to add someone in the infield or to add a power bat somewhere else to account for the loss of Adames. As it stands right now, I think we're at roughly even odds to win the division. Which isn't great considering we won it by 10 games last year.
  20. How quickly some people conveniently forget that we literally would’ve advanced in the postseason had our all star closer been capable of pitching a scoreless or even one run inning.
  21. Am I correct or did you not feel this exact same way about our off-season last year? If we can’t trust the team, then why should we entertain your position?
  22. I would say they view Frelick and Chourio equally. They only moved Frelick to RF and Chourio to LF because Yelich got injured and Frelick had a stretch of poor performances in LF. Otherwise, Chourio was the NL GG favorite in RF for a good chunk of the season.
