    Came to preseason game at this ballpark.. My late uncle had a 20 year old Lexus for a main reason of a ballpark perk directly across street….the Lexus Lot. Each year he went to his Lexus dealer for a sticker to put on his dash, it gave him free parking right next to the stadium. https://www.parkplace.com/lexus-texas-rangers-benefits.htm

    So the team must matter on days the pitcher pitches, right? We agree on this? The catcher frames a ball for a strike.. He saves a wild pitch not letting a run score. The SS makes a key snag. Charlie throws out Reggie at 3B. The team obviously matters defensively in games being pitched. It is not ALL on the pitcher to do. His numbers are partly due to the catcher, defense behind him, team/coach support, medical staff, etc. It matters SOMEWHAT in games played. The TEAM. So to me it’s not a big leap to also say it matters SOMEWHAT in the types of games the pitchers pitch in. Pitchers that have to STILL pitch stress-filled games in a pennant race are not remotely close to those bleh games for 4 or 5 months with Skenes. If individual stats are C L O S E…I give it the guy who pitches in games that matter. And I don’t feel sorry for Skenes being sleighed for on the Pirates, and yes it is completely fair. It should be like this for all teams….types of games pitched in should matter SOMEWHAT since the team they play on helps/hurts them already. Skenes still gets my pretend vote, but it isn’t over.

    It’s a combo….not one or the other to me. Skenes has to clearly be in a separate class of individual numbers to win it. It appears he does. But if Peralta closes that gap enough….Skenes struggles and Peralta has 20 plus wins with 3 or 4 stellar starts, I would give it to him. Again, cry all you want about being on a poor team, games pitched for Peralta in a pennant race are much more meaningful for a starter. The team is depending on you to perform, stop a losing streak, pitch that extra inning to save the bullpen, etc. Not so much with Skenes this year or last. For anyone not to take those differences into account, they are not living in reality. Clemens would get my vote for CY Young that year for this reason too. Brewers were just not competitive enough. The games down the stretch carried little weight. Sheets looked a little better by individual numbers, but still not enough on a bottom dwelling team where very little in game pressure lived.

    Wins/IP for a pennant chasing team should matter. All games are not equal….Pitt hasn’t had a meaningful game since May. He has no pressure to pitch and no team to carry. And I realize how CY Young voting has changed analytically over the last decade plus, but I don’t a have to agree with it. I still choose Skenes now….but it is much closer among the top 3 to me.

    On Sept 2, EsPN had odds of -4100 Skenes 11-1 Sanchez 40-1 Peralta Skenes needs a couple blowups and Peralta needs to be nearly perfect with 20 wins…….and it wouldn’t hurt if Brewers won division with 100 wins too.
  6. rickh150
    Winning a series, probably. The franchise has won only 3 series, remember. 10 playoffs, 3 series wins, and 22-32 in playoff games. Winning a series and finishing farther than the Cubs would probably be enough. Happy but disappointed.

    Please Tell your dad that 70 + year olds Steve and Betty, their eldest son/wife….and their young daughters say hi….often loved sitting in that back row of 217, in Bill’s section. We likely will be around the ballpark that last weekend September. If he can get to games/playoff games, please let us know so we can say hey…..and a huge thanks for being a great usher for so long for us.

    Who do we have at defensive tackle.
  9. rickh150
    Absolutely. When we lose, it is surprising now to me that they didn’t find a way to come back.
  10. rickh150
    Noticed they seem to clear out all the fans from behind the dugout’s first 10 rows during the postgame Sophia talk on the field. Is this a new?
  11. rickh150
    Once Packers started spring training or maybe pre-season games, focus switched.
  12. rickh150
    Leaving him in?
  13. rickh150
    One inning wonders….
  14. rickh150
    😉And the hits……keep comin’.
  15. rickh150
    63-18 in runs scored/runs against……going WED.
  16. rickh150
    10-1 after Contreras walkoff… great game to be at…..electric during and a madhouse after.
  17. rickh150
    Or what? We are up 5 games? It would be big to go up 7, yes.....much more like must win for Chicago for division.
  18. rickh150
    Wild range of emotions...from streak to this! And then there is Uecker at end of week...what a season! All the storyline galore!
  19. rickh150
    Yes. You wait a week until Woody finally loses a game….and after Miz has a blowup against Reds. Then you go to work. I think the playoff starters are still a fluid situation. Peralta has been the best, most consistent starter all season, The other 3 have been so good for us minus a blip here or there. And Quintana could get a playoff start too, especially if we get into a seven game series.
  20. rickh150
    I don't think Turang or Frelick are Arby's eligible.
  21. rickh150
    Loaded and now #1 minor league system..
  22. rickh150
    Agreed. I think Murphy pitches him Game 1 too if Game 1 is next week.
  23. rickh150
    I would be the first last week to laugh at this. Peralta has trouble breaking the 5th inning, struggles with command, and can look lost at times. But still oh still what a season overall! Dependable. Makes big pitches to get out of trouble. Big on Ks (9th in NL), Sub 3 ERA (7th in NL), 5th WHIP, 1st Wins. Is it possible that he is arguably our third or fourth best starting pitcher this season and WINS the CY Young? I will say a shaky yes. But he has to finish the season extra well. With presumably 8 starts left, it could happen. If Brewers win division and get bye..,.. if Peralta wins 6 of 8 starts….and if his ERA drops to mid 2s, I think he can do it. A 20 win pitcher with a mid 2 ERA on a giant slaying small market team could make a pretty good case, especially if the front runners Skenes, Wheeler, Boyd, etc. fade a bit. That would be pretty wild considering one could make the argument the first 3 starts of a playoff series belong to Woodruff, Miz, and Priester.

    9-1 after tonight….going a few more times yet.
  25. rickh150
    My previous best was 11-3 in 2007; the worst was 2023 (Division Champ) at 1-5.
