i don't mind them, but the idea any of us should be SO disappointed because these are supposed to "connect the community" like stated in article, when i feel confident everyone understands that special uniform releases are solely to drum up extra business seems a little over the top in its response. Do people refer to it as Wisco very much? no. Do you recognize what state is being conveyed by it? yea. If we ARE trying to take this too seriously as the article implies, then the team and its fan taking what some think as a derogatory/unflattering (in my experience, i've never heard it used in a mean way) term back and owning it is a good thing, no? Words are what we make them after all. Also, while I understand some of what Matt's saying here that Wisco isn't popular or 'a thing' (and it doesn't have to be!), it also feels odd to be told by someone from out of state about what offends or is right or wrong way to represent the state.

in 2025, the 3B plan was Dunn/Capra/Durbin. Now it appears to be Jett/Wilken/Fischer if there are no other moves, and i can't say that's a terrible thing. Wonder if the collective floor can get to an wRC+/OPS+ of 100-105, knowing that there is considerably more upside with this group of 3 than last year? At some point they have to give prospects a chance and sink/swim, and they don't have the luxury of paying for starter quality players not be backups in case they all sink. Maybe once they got Jett they decided having a group of 3 to rely on would be more realistic to give it a shot?

i think it's a bit hard to presume that there'll be QO and draft compensation come 2031. who knows how many work stoppages and changes to the sport's economics by then. that's one big reason i think the brewers won't extend anyone this offseason until they have a better idea of what the first couple years of the next CBA will look like

the article is basically going off fangraphs lowering him, while the other 2 have not. seems like flimsy idea to base an article off of

i'm curious how this will play in the playoffs, where every pitch and moment is more intense - which usually ends up meaning slower-paced. given that there's already talk about how the brewers relentless style of play works good for wins in the regular season but how in the postseason, everyone is taking every AB and pitch more seriously, this is just another thing that may not be an actual advantage in the playoffs.

early in the article, i had thought the mention of singles and hard hit balls would mean there'd be info that the Brewers singles, while only singles, are being hit harder than most other teams, making those plays harder to defend/more prone to errors/mistakes. I'm curious if that's true, if you're able to filter out hard hit rate for teams or players down to just singles?
-
these are great. only request if possible would be to include age with the player name/stats/ranking, since some breakdowns mention age and others don't. since so many of these have mentions of a "promotion may be due soon" and there's only so much room on each team, i'm curious of the players getting dropped down to make room at each level for any of these guys coming up
-
definitely good info, my only worry - isn't this type of data probably true for anyone on a hot streak? i'm sure anyone crushing pitches is contacting early/out front and pulling, so i'm curious to hear from Yelich at some point if the point of contact is something he's working toward, or is that just a result of seeing the ball well for a bit before not seeing it so well and the point of contact (and numbers) falling back again. as article says, need to see it for a larger sample to know without getting any comments from him
-
if i recall, the other gamble is that Priester only has 1 more option year remaining, so while 6 years of control sounds good, it only matters if he's a mainstay in the rotation for most of it, because they won't be able to bounce him back and forth as filler for as much of that time in the way they could with other players. Doesn't mean he couldn't still be worth it, just another wrinkle to the trade that makes it a little more complicated. I'm curious how much stock can be put into throwing harder for 1 month of ST this year. It's good to know he has that in him, but can he deliver it consistently during the season going forward?
-
a couple things come to mind: do we know yet that he's throwing it softer on purpose or is it a happy accident? and while a 20 pitch sample size, can be enough to draw conclusions from, i wonder if it's possible that this sampling just happens to be lower and there'll be similar samples higher later in the year. things starting the year seem to always get more meaning than the in the middle (like a 4-game losing streak lol)

Joey Ortiz and the Paradox of Being On Time
maxximus replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
the neck injury seems not given enough credit for some issues. is it possible that he maintains last year and is improved just due to health/experience without making significant changes? -
if they could get Paddock without much given up, or alternately give up something a bit better to save on the salary, that seems the best option. 5M for Cantrill seems crazy given his output and their budget. For that money, they need someone who is already average and can hopefully be fine-tuned into something more
