    That inning started leadoff walk, HBP, throwing error from Perez, and two pitches not even close to the zone to go behind 2-0 to Turang. He was most definitely not throwing the ball well until Turang give him a lifeline chasing 2-0. After that he did kick back in but he was most certainly on the ropes before that chase.

    I think this is kind to Turang. I know he worked a 10 pitch AB but Perez was absolutely on the ropes and Turang gave him life by expanding the zone in a 2-0 count because he was trying to pull the ball for a HR and got fooled bad on a breaking ball. That chase is what gave Perez a lifeline to get out of the inning without allowing a run. Yes Turang battled when it got to 2-2 but I don't think that should go down as a good AB.

    The Brewers being 9-6 in July with a +2 run differential and the opponent scoring first in 11 of 15 games is pretty crazy. I would definitely be down for getting an early lead and having a comfortable win today

    I’m just going by Pipeline’s ratings. On the draft board they had Strosnider as a 55 overall. The Brewers have 5 prospects at 55 overall on our pipeline Top 30 spanning from Pena at 2 to Adamczewski at 6. If they carry over Strosnider’s overall from the draft board he would be ranked somewhere from 2 to 7. If you think that’s wild then you need to take it up with Pipeline for how they have Strosnider ranked so highly. We literally saw this happen a year ago when Dickinson who was drafted 185th and signed a slightly underslot deal immediately entered our Top 30 because he was a 45 overall and 80th on the Pipeline draft board.

    I like how he’s talking about affecting the team when he’s been replacement level this year. It’s been affecting your play and the team all year.

    Glad he's not retiring. I'd bet he signs a deal with the Brewers in ST next year and goes right to the 60 Day IL.
  7. wiguy94
    Yeah I have to imagine he's never going to get super pricey in arbitration because he hasn't been able to build up any volume of stats.
  8. wiguy94
    I’m going to say no because he’s not going to be in Nashville

    Not sure it’s in the cards with him so close to FA but I would definitely be interested in a short term extension. Buy out a year or two of FA. Mitchell gets some guaranteed money to cover in case he gets injured.

    Just need to hope he turns it around because Murph basically said Yelich moving down in the order would be disrespectful to him

    The Brewers are certainly much better off with this trade than if they hadn't made it. WAR from this trade so far Brewers - 3.9 fWAR, 4.6 bWAR Red Sox - 1.3 fWAR, 3.1 bWAR It's not a fun thought thinking about where our pitching staff would be this year if we didn't have Harrison and Drohan

    Is Woody going to announce he's retiring after the season?
  13. wiguy94
    Not sure if you're talking Brewers or in general but there are teams who have signed their entire class before. It's actually a lot more common than you think.
  14. wiguy94
    Only one LHP in the pen for the time being with Drohan and Gasser listed as SP for this series
  15. wiguy94
    Yes I agree. I wasn't complaining

    Cairone with a bit of a rough first inning. FB velo was down to 85 by the end of the inning after being at 89 at the start of the inning. Only 1 unearned run against but 30 pitches with 14 for strikes and the misses were mostly really big misses. Almost all these pitches way out of the zone were fastballs being misread as other pitches because the velo was so low.
  17. wiguy94
    He had another setback. I wouldn't expect him to pitch this year but moving him to the 60 day doesn't really have an impact on that. It's retroactive to 5/31 so he's eligible to come off the 60 Day IL on 7/30.

    I did not realize Mason Molina was doing so well in the minors this year. He's already up to AAA for St, Louis. Might see him in their rotation at some point in the next 12 months.

    I don't think deferred contracts have any impact. That money needs to be put aside well before it gets paid out. Within two years of a player earning the deferred money it needs to be put aside in an escrow account. So for example Ohtani's deferred money being earned in 2026 needs to be set aside by 2028 before it's eventually paid out in 2036.

    DSL Gold made things interesting today. Went up 9-0 but then allowed 7 runs in the 6th to 8th innings to turn a 9-0 lead into a 9-7 lead. Matthew Moses hit a 3-run HR in the top of the 9th to push it to 12-7 which proved to be crucial with Pirates Gold scoring another 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th to make it 12-10. Wandy Cabrera came up big getting brought in up 12-9 with the bases loaded and no outs.

    What would you consider 20th, 50th, and 80th percentile outcomes in 2026 for the McCullers and Gordon additions.
  22. wiguy94
    This is how it feels since Frias and Martinez were promoted to Wilson

    I’m so glad someone said this part out loud and this take has never been more obvious than when Kratz on Foul Territory still cries about how the 2018 Brewers should traded Burnes and Woodruff for deGrom because it would have helped them win a World Series. I’m not even sure that’s true because those two combined for 21 innings of sub 2 ERA and +0.31 WPA in that postseason run. Imagine how much different the future of the Brewers changes if they made that trade. Maybe they win the WS in 2018 but I don’t think it’s a guarantee and the early 2020’s would likely have been significantly less successful without Burnes and Woodruff.

    Saves them $2.5M which gives them some space to make additions without exceeding the $244M CBT threshold.

    Not saying you’re wrong but I think that expression is becoming just something Arnold says. I genuinely can’t recall the last guy we traded for in a real trade not a DFA trade where Arnold didn’t use that phrase.
