    100%. You could get rid of 25-50% of the parking and still have plenty of parking left for tailgate culture to remain

    Mitchell hit a 107 EV liner for an out at least according to baseball savant that is what happened.

    I guess Myers could potentially be a RP for Nashville which is why he was immediately activated while Rodriguez might not be activated until he’s set to start a game.

    Shuckers Twitter account is only reporting Chourio, Meeker, and Myers as being promoted to AAA. Did Carlos Rodriguez not get promoted? https://x.com/biloxishuckers/status/1704247388582346785?s=46&t=WxiRs1N9LlZMKe6c0VtAlQ

    I don't think Hader would have ever made a great starter and I think the Strider comp is ridiculous. Strider has better physical build, holds FB velo better, has better command, and his slider is actually good. Hader's slider was effective because everyone was just so locked into his FB not because his slider was actually good. Even today his slider still isn't a very good pitch because he can't consistently locate it. Just look at the difference between Strider's slider heat map this year (on left) and Hader's slider heat map this year (on right)

    Bummer. Such intriguing stuff but could never put the command together. He had a 72.7% GB-rate this year with a 22.7% K-rate. That's a combo for a really good middle reliever but a 17% BB-rate and 5.3% HBP rate is just out of control. Can't be putting 22% of your batters faced on base for free.

    That happened against the Giants. The 18-1 game is the game where Varland gave up 9 runs in 0.2 innings when it was already 8-1
  8. wiguy94
    20-24 isn't the Cardinals owning the Brewers either. But I get it, doom and gloom is required in the game threads even when facing a bad team.
  9. wiguy94
    Do you seriously think the Brewers would give Black, a rookie with at most roughly 10 of games MLB experience at that point, a big role in the playoffs? The likelihood the Brewers burn a 40 man spot so Black can sit on the bench in the playoffs is very, very slim.
  10. wiguy94
    Since 2017 when the Brewers came out of their rebuild, they are 56-55 vs the Cardinals. They have totally owned us recently!
  11. wiguy94
    Seems pretty unlikely they will burn a 40-man spot for this offseason that doesn't need to be burned for 10 MLB games.
  12. wiguy94
    Our magic number over the Reds is 5 because we own the tiebreaker. If Brewers finish 4-9, Reds would need to finish 11-0. Point being the Reds are not a concern.
  13. wiguy94
    I think there is less than a 1% chance the Brewers line up their rotation to have Miley pitch in the WC series. Keep the Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta order and win in 2 games so Peralta can pitch game 1 of the NLDS.
  14. wiguy94
    I don’t know if it’s guaranteed but seems like Carlos F Rodriguez (SP) is getting promoted to Nashville for this final week judging by his Instagram.
  15. wiguy94
    Well that's a nice added bonus.
  16. wiguy94
    Isn't it 3 weeks? Turang was down 23 days and there are only 15 days left in the MLB season.
  17. wiguy94
    I’ve seen speculation that the Angels aren’t IL’ing him because they are so marginally below the luxury tax line they sending him to the IL and calling up someone to replace him could push them over the luxury tax line. If that’s true it’s an embarrassment for the franchise and league.

    For what it is worth, I am most definitely not advocating we force Contreras on Burnes at this point. We just have to reap what we have sowed and keep rolling with Caratini. I’m just saying it’s frustrating that we will be trotting out a weaker playoff lineup in 25+% of our playoff games because Burnes gave up on Contreras catching him after a few starts.
  19. wiguy94
    Anyone. Nobody on the team should have demanded Caratini be their personal catcher. Miley just had glowing reviews for how Contreras has matured and grown behind the plate this year. For a team that wins on the margins having to start a guy like Caratini in the playoffs could have some consequences. You go from Taylor, Canha, Contreras playing to Caratini, Canha, Contreras playing. Here are their wRC+ since the ASB Contreras - 133 Canha - 118 Taylor - 116 Caratini - 58 That’s a pretty sizeable drop off going from Taylor/Canha in the lineup to Caratini. With the playoff schedule this season how many games do you think Caratini would have actually caught? NLDS has 3 scheduled off days and the NLCS and WS have 2 scheduled off days.
  20. wiguy94
    I feel like you’re missing the point. Corbin gave up on Contreras very early in the season and demanded Caratini be his personal catcher. For the regular season that’s fine, but it’s it makes us weaker in the playoffs when Burnes is going to be starting over 25% of our games. Game 1 of the playoffs instead of having Tyrone’s defense in RF with Canha at DH and Contreras behind home plate we get Canha in RF (worse defensively), Caratini at C (worse defensively and offensively), and Contreras at DH. With the scheduled off days in the playoffs, Caratini would have been lucky to start even a single game and now he will be starting a big chunk of them. That’s a lot of PA to be forced to a 58 wRC+ hitter since the all star break.
  21. wiguy94
    Wade Miley had glowing reviews for Contreras tonight. How he totally changed up the gameplan after the first inning and got Miley back on track. I was so happy reading that then it made me think how annoying it is that Burnes demanded Caratini as his personal catcher. It basically eliminates the DH for 25% of our postseason games because Caratini will be catching and Contreras will be the DH
  22. wiguy94
    One thing I’ll say is it’s very unlikely the Brewers carry 13 pitchers on their WC or NLDS rosters especially with the NLDS having 3 scheduled off days this year. In 2021 when there were only 2 scheduled off days we only carried an 11 man pitching staff and that was with no universal DH yet.
  23. wiguy94
    He was grabbing his side before he was removed so all I know is it’s probably not an arm injury
  24. wiguy94
    This is from McCalvy’s most recent newsletter. “Flanagan confirmed that No. 3 Brewers prospect Jacob Misiorowski won’t pitch anymore this season for Double-A Biloxi. He’s been shut down since developing arm fatigue in the wake of a 12-strikeout performance last month, and continues to rehab at the club’s facility in Phoenix, Flanagan said. There just won’t be time to get him back on the field before the Shuckers' season ends. The good news is that the diagnosis -- arm fatigue -- hasn’t been replaced by something more serious. That would position Misiorowski to get some additional work in the fall should the Brewers choose to augment the 71 1/3 innings the big right-hander already threw at three affiliates in 2023.”

    McCalvy said he was nearing his innings limit when he got shut down, so I’m not sure they will view him as someone who needs more innings.
