  1. Chourio definitely should win GG or the voting is broken. Even the great PCA can't match what Chourio has been doing in the OF lately.
  2. I don't necessarily think it's about not showing your hand because I would still expect Henderson to pitch in the Phillies series. I'm pretty sure it's more about getting Miz used to 4 days rest as we're going to need him to pitch as often as possible in the postseason. Particularly when to this point, he's been going on 5-7 days rest. Shortened start of 3-4 ups would make a lot of sense.
  3. Worth noting that Sal was just out of college at Lara's age....
  4. Ohtani ain't pitching thankfully. Though, Snell looks to be okay.
  5. If you're one who cares about the 1 seed (I'm not), 100 wins (4-4) almost certainly gets it done. Even at 3-5 the Brewers are more likely than not to get it. Dodgers having to make up 3 whole games in the standings is an uphill battle with only 8 games remaining. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/mlb-playoffs-projection-bracket-2026/
  6. Andrew Vaughn turning into Luis Arraez has been one of the developments of the season.
  7. What did one have to do with the other? They beat the Cubs in the NLDS.....
  8. Looks like a potential Game 1 lineup to me. Definitely not a hangover lineup!
  9. Yep, OF GG voting is by position. Statistically, Chourio is the clear favorite in the NL as he paces all LFers with 12 DRS and 5 OAA/7 FRV. Only way he realistically loses at this point is if Ian Happ's reputation from winning the last 4 years carries over in the voting. Turang is locked in a battle with Wetherholt at 2B. Turang laps in DRS at +21, but trails Wetherholt +12 to +21 in OAA. So, could go either way. Joey O has a very good shot at utility with 13 OAA between 3B and SS.
  10. Bo Naylor. Does Lockridge give you anything that you can't get from other players on the roster? While Naylor allows you to more liberally utilize and substitute for Contreras and Sanchez, which is quite valuable given the quality of their bats and their relative lack of speed.
  11. He’s likely going to surpass Ryan O’Hearn’s deal from last year. 31 is not that old, and he’s got the best wRC+ on the market.
  12. Disagree. I think things are very much trending in favor of the Brewers tendering Bauers the QO. He's likely to end up as the best bat by wRC+ on a FA market which is otherwise going to be particularly devoid of elite hitting. I think he easily beats out Ryan O'Hearn's deal. At which point the Brewers would be pretty foolish not to give him the QO and obtain draft pick compensation.
  13. Think there's definitely a case to be made for selling high on Mitchell in the offseason. He's entering his second season of arbitration and is going to be due for a decent pay increase. Do you really believe he's suddenly figured out how to stay healthy, especially as he gets older (he's already 28)? Plus Chourio and Lara both have the ability to play CF quite well..... At the same time provided he gets offseason surgery to fix his shoulder, I would probably hold onto Sal Frelick and bet on a bounce-back season after which you can hopefully sell on the higher end as Payne and Adamczewski start to factor in at the big league level.
  14. Yeah, but how does it rank if you take out those 20 run games?!
  15. Fun fact: Since June 1st (414 PAs and a time period during which he was hitting like Tyrone Taylor apparently), Jackson Chourio has been a top 5 player in baseball by fWAR. Since August 1st, he's been the best player in the majors outside of Chicago. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2026&month=1000&season1=2026&ind=0&startdate=2026-06-01&enddate=2026-09-12&team=0&sortcol=21&sortdir=default
  16. It's quite literally what was said....You were wrong in that moment (as many people pointed out) and happen to be even more wrong now. The end. Good thing is nobody is right all the time! Have a good night.
  17. No. You're trying to rewrite history that is not what you said. You said he was basically Tyrone Taylor, and several people at that time pointed out how ridiculous a statement that was even then. I'd rather not have to go back and link the direct quote.... Anyways, like I said it's okay. We all have bad takes from time to time. That's the last I'll say on the matter.
  18. Another upshot of today's thrashing is we no longer have to hear how the Brewers are last place in the majors in HRs as they have now jumped the Guardians to 29th. That's what I'm talking about!
  19. All I'll say is doubling down on that take is a choice. It was a ridiculous comparison then and is even more ridiculous now. It's actually okay to admit when you're wrong. We all have bad takes from time to time.
  20. I'll take the real Tyrone Taylor any day.
  21. The issue with this thinking is the 1 seed doesn't necessarily guarantee you more Miz home starts in the postseason. For instance, if the NLDS goes to 5 games like last year, with Miz presumably pitching game 5, the earliest he's then available is a game 3 in the NLCS which would be on the road with HFA. Plus, Dodger Stadium has not exactly been a "problem mound" for Miz. He's shoved there in his appearances both in the regular season and the postseason including just a month ago. So, that still leaves me not caring whatsoever about HFA....
  22. Prospect rankings notoriously hedge on guys who carry 25+% K rates in the upper minors. You're seeing the same with Fischer but to an even greater extent.
  23. It's simple for me: is there a meaningful difference in your WS odds being the 1 seed vs. the 2 seed? I strongly tend towards no. I certainly don't fear Dodger Stadium in a hypothetical Game 7 of the NLCS. As for the quality of the NLDS opponent, I'd arguably rather face Atlanta or San Diego/Arizona vs. Philly or Chicago. They can do whatever for all I care once that bye, which enables you to skip over an entire round of the postseason, is clinched.
  24. There has most definitely been an appreciable jump this year....
