    Strange that Luke was in the HR derby, but now back to not playing?

    Really pleased to see this as the number seems to be one large enough, especially with Woody's time with the club, that it isn't a no-brainer to turn down. Also, he & the club have really seemed to click over the years in terms of what will keep him around. Stepping further now, my question/concern is what that $22MM number will do to the 2026 overall budget that Matt Arnold has available. Will they avoid attempting to keep Turang or Frelick around on longer term deals? (or was that already off the table in their heads?) Will that impact offering Jesus Made a 8yr/$100MM deal at the end of the season? etc ... Overall, love it! Surprised by it, but love it!

    Is the length and grind of the season, including playoffs, just something all these young guys just need to learn to manage? Sal came into spring training stronger than in 2024, which seemed to help him for 5 months. Does that mean he (as an example) needs to work even harder this off-season to be prepared for 6 1/2 months? Is it somewhat prep & understanding what is coming for these young guys?

    Would concur that Attanasio seems to be conservative in times of question.
  5. MattK
    Which would be Adames, with more walks and less power - at a lesser position. Enough to be a starting 1B for a 5 year stretch in the majors? I would say absolutely.

    They are young. The continual narrative is the Crew loses early in the playoffs, despite making it 7 years of 8 ... but the reality is Yeli and Peralta were the only guys on the team 3 years ago. With a lot of young players being among the replacements. Getting this playoff series to be tough is a good long-term situation for the team. All that said, hopefully they are able to pitch well enough that their runs will be enough.

    Yeah, thinking about Quintana as the first inning starter versus their lefties, his nibbling and trying to get chases type of stuff is not ideal against the Cubs. Them not chasing got both Priester & Peralta behind with their wildness in Wrigley. I would think Koenig, if employing that strategy, or - best case - someone who trusts their stuff enough to throw strikes.

    Great breakdown, Matthew. Thank you!

    An interesting question to me is whether Weeks was ever the "best" second baseman in the majors. It seemed fairly clearly this season that either Turang or Hoerner were, across the majors, and maybe Brice had a case for that last year due to his speed and D. Unsure Rickie ever was, while playing in more offensive times. And Brice just played his age 25 season. He is just coming into his prime. That is the biggest reason for the club to try to sign him to a deal through his arbitration years, plus a couple of more.
  10. MattK
    He has, agreed. The questions are what he thinks he is worth and - with the group of young middle infielders coming up in the system - what the front office would be willing to pay him.

    The way Hoskins has hit in the majors since back up gives me a bit of Jesse Winker PTSD. Veteran, and the correct type of logic for a late game PH move, but .... ? The single swing PH is a guy the club doesn't really have, though, so Bauers & Hoskins may both make the NLDS due to that.
  12. MattK
    So he won't be a long man during the NDLS. Is this also meaning he cannot be on the NLCS roster, if the Crew gets there?
  13. MattK
    They are likely to need more than 1 3 inning stretch out of the pen in the Division series. Would be nice to have as many of the more stretched out guys as possible. Heck, even when Priester was rolling, Hall would work 2-3 innings.
  14. MattK
    With the Crew's regular season style of shuffling the end of the roster and the back end of the pen, it is actually limiting to designate a group for 5 full games. :-)

    Thanks for all the work weekly, Joseph!
  16. MattK
    Really interesting angle Matthew, thanks!

    Ugh. Montgomery got hot and those starting pitching numbers seem to be a big part of it.
  18. MattK
    It is really interesting how quickly Miz earned Pat Murphy's trust. Murph has not been a guy for that too much. We have seen multiple position players and relievers who Murph has let sit while overusing his trusted guys. Miz has been right in there. Perhaps it is more Chris Hook's area, with the starting pitchers, and Murph lets them be? Also thought it is interesting how Chad Patrick was in it, then has been out of it, despite not really pitching differently. Just my two cents toward Miz being in the playoff rotation or not.

    Saw Alfaro hit cleanup for the Nats the other day. Needed a double-take.
  20. MattK
    He is still really new to the OF. I always thought once Mitchell & Perkins had their early injuries that this year was a big test for him while they figure out if he should be in CF or not, long-term.
  21. MattK
    Adamczewski too, no? To attempt to replace some of his missed PAs against a mix of pitching levels.
  22. MattK
    Makes some sense to me as his innings this year are very low, in comparison to Dorchies, Meccage, Renz, and Dubanewicz. Maybe even some AFL time for Bishop?
  23. MattK
    They certainly are thinking and exploring ideas with the everyday players. It does not feel that way as much with the pitching staff, but that is likely just the "feeling". Thanks Jack!
  24. MattK
    It'll be interesting to see how the club handles these types of situations with all of this talent now. Having multiple guys on deals has not been something the club has done at all. Hoping you see a number of these deals, but unsure it will happen.

    Thought Gravy Day was when you already had won the series, no?
