    Yeah I agree with that. I said when this thread was originally made that the Brewers played pretty similar baseball the 2 months leading up to the deadline and the 2 months after the deadline. It wasn't like we suddenly tanked post deadline. Also it seems like the FO wanted to swing for a bat upgrade that same deadline, but it fell through. Robert Murray confirmed that the Brewers were trying to flip Esteury Ruiz that same deadline that we got him.

    While the raw SO numbers look really good, that's largely because they face so many hitters. Their 27.1% K-rate is just slightly above the ACL average of 26.6%.

    Hader was way better over both samples at actually doing his job. 2020 to 2022 trade deadline - Hader had 6.34 WPA compared to Rogers -1.05 WPA. 2022 trade deadline to end of 2022 season - Hader had -0.24 WPA compared to Rogers -1.02 WPA. Hader was as elite as it gets as a RP. He's a potential HoFer. Rogers had good FIP numbers but the results stunk for a high leverage reliever.

    Did you just use fWAR to compare for the top sample and ERA to compare in the bottom sample?

    Good teams will not trade 2 Top 20 prospects for a middle reliever like Hoby.
  6. Lucas O.
    Hoby and Payamps wouldn’t get close to what Hicks a guy who throws 100 got. Like come on.

    Angel Hernandez is retiring.
  8. Lucas O.
    Both Hudson and Megill were in the Cubs org post-pandemic. That's our 2 best RP this year.
  9. Lucas O.
    Will 3 do?
  10. Lucas O.
    I hope so, but it's really hard for a non-closer RP to be an All-Star, but he absolutely should be based on his play.
  11. Lucas O.
    It also was a strike so learn the strike zone while you're at it Swanson

    Would really hate for Gasser to take an L after pitching like that. Hopefully Hudson can strand the runners.
  13. Lucas O.
    That pitch was beautiful
  14. Lucas O.
    Feels worth noting that this is Gasser's first start on 5 days rest which is the rest he's most used to. AmFam being packed probably helps as well, but his velo/stuff are both comfortably up so far.
  15. Lucas O.
    Man those boos were glorious.

    I think recency bias is one factor, but also better access plays a role as well. It's kind of the social media dilemma. Like an example is violent crime rate in the US is way, way down compared to 20/30 years ago, but some people think the opposite is true because their social media feeds are filled with stories about violent crime. Now this isn't to say the Brewers farm isn't super deep right now, just that the better access can help influence someone's beliefs.

    I think it’s actually the other knee, so he’s torn both ACL now.

    CLT is Charlotte's airport code. Guessing that's why CLT is used.

    Ground ball hit really close to him that he misread and overplayed. Was just changed to an error. That lead to a run. Ground ball to him with runners on the corners and 1 out that he bobbled which prevented the inning ending double play,
  20. Lucas O.
    Tyler Black having a game to forget defensively at 1B and it's only the 3rd inning.
  21. Lucas O.
    When you dive deeper into Houck's career splits, I don't really think it makes a difference that he's been bad against LHH in the past. He's dramatically improved his splitter effectiveness and usage rate so he's really not the same pitcher he was before this year. He's throwing it 35% of the time this year vs LHH and commanding it way better than he ever has in the past.
  22. Lucas O.
    It's just command. 16 swings against him today and only 1 swing and miss. He has just been totally incapable of getting his sinker down this year. When he leaves his sinker up like today and basically every outing this year, it kind of defeats the purpose of a sinker because you're killing the sink. Even with 20 grade command like this he can get by in AAA because guys can't handle his velo. In the MLB he's getting hit around when he locates like this.
  23. Lucas O.
    Uribe still struggling to miss bats in AAA. I just don't think this is a guy who should be coming back to the MLB any time soon.
  24. Lucas O.
    This Cardinals team seems to be showing a lot more fight and belief than last year's team. I feel like last year's team would have just rolled over after the terrible start. This year's team has battled.
  25. Lucas O.
    Honestly I wouldn't mind having an opener for all or some of Rea, Wilson, Myers, Gasser every start. Feel like using an opener for guys like Rea and Wilson could help them to go 6 innings more frequently because it seems like the consistently run into issues against the top of the order a 3rd time. Letting them start their games facing the 5th hitter in the order gives them an extra inning before they face the top of the order a 3rd time.
