    No, it could not, as there are too many tied results in more than 4 groups to produce more than 8 six point third place teams, which in itself would already be a practical impossibility. It is all academic now as the US has clinched the group.

    How much $$ to throw a roof over Keesler Federal Park in Biloxi? Good grief.

    Yes, I agree with a lot of this. He has small holes and they are willing to let him work through that because the current player and the player from the last two seasons is still really, really good. In fact I think the fact that he is still has some imperfections at 22 tells you how great his upside really is and it’s exciting to think what he’ll be doing at 25.

    Genuine question - why do you manufacture arguments against positions that you know not a single person has tried to make as last resorts in debates? It doesn’t establish credibility. It does the opposite. You know full well what’s been said and what’s not been said. Thing is, I probably agree with a lot more of your posts than most others. So what is the problem with just genuinely looking at facts presented to you rather than digging in your heels and just dishing out passive aggressive strawman arguments? You took the position that someone who had a better rookie season by WAR than Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, and Rickie Weeks combined, was rushed up to the bigs. Based on a great play by the Braves, and nothing rational. You were rightfully presented opposing rational arguments on why that wasn’t the case. But instead of listening to anyone you just dug in and chose to die on the hill.

    Whatever it takes I guess, because holy hell this is one crazy hill to die on.

    In late 1977, Robin Yount was the exact same age as Jackson Chourio is now in years and days. At that time, Yount had accumulated 6.9 WAR in his career, Jackson has accumulated 7.9 WAR so far. And Yount had already completed 4 seasons. He was “rushed” up to the big leagues at 18 years old. I mean Jackson has accomplished things that literally no Brewer in history had accomplished by his age. I have no idea how this is even a discussion.

    Both his baserunning and defense grade out as above average. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jackson-chourio/28806/stats/batting so in SPITE of having things to work on the other non-hitting parts of his game already grade out at an acceptable level with room to improve.

    The damning truth is that as long as Mitchell is healthy, Frelick just isn’t a great fit to be on the MLB roster right now. He doesn’t have a skill set that plays well off the bench. Mitchell is better in just about every regard as a starter. So you’re left with a starter who doesn’t do anything particularly well and even with the matchup he wasn’t a great option off the bench in the 8th. With Lara signed long-term and no service time considerations anymore, there’s nothing left other than MLB track record to continue with Frelick up over Lara, and even that argument is losing steam quickly.

    Who called him a perfect player? no one said he is. That’s a strawman argument. He is not perfect. He does have aspects of his game that are still in the development and improving stages. None of that means he was rushed up to the bigs or did anything wrong in the 9th inning.

    A 3 hopper but right on the money. Contreras following with a completely non-competitive AB makes the decision look better. As much as I like Vaughn, I’ll take the chance of a throw anywhere offline from the outfield over him coming through with an 2 out hit against Iglesias. That’s a really tough matchup.
  11. adambr2
    The dumb chase out of the zone to pop up on the 2-0 pitch with the bases loaded and the pitcher struggling with his command is what really chapped me tonight.
  12. adambr2
    Unfortunately, yes. Blaming Chourio for a 0.1 second decision without any guidance and the ball behind him is absolutely insanity.
  13. adambr2
    This is going to sound crazy, but not every 20-22 year old is completely refined in every part of their game coming up to the bigs. Some of it comes with growth along the way. That does not make them “rushed”. “Rushed” implies that he was brought up before he was ready. His production clearly indicates that he was indeed ready.
  14. adambr2
    So he put up 4 WAR as a rookie but he wasn’t ready for the show. Got it.
  15. adambr2
    No, he wasn’t. He literally put up 4 WAR as a rookie 20 year old. That is plenty good enough to play and start for any lineup in baseball. He was ready to play at this level. I think the last thing we can do this year is accuse our guys of being too aggressive calling up our prospects with as much as we’ve been pulling out our hair to see players like Lara get a shot over Frelick. The amount of criticism for one of our best players who just got a huge 9th inning clutch hit off one of the best closers in baseball is crazy.
  16. adambr2
    lol, sweet AB, William. Way to go out showing your former team what they’re missing.
  17. adambr2
    Why is Brice not standing at 2nd base?
  18. adambr2
    Solid AB by Yelich to at least give Jackson a chance here.
  19. adambr2
    He has a .687 OPS against RHP. For being your platoon favorable side, that is not solid.
  20. adambr2
    Sal is bad, doesn’t have the power to turn on one there, and doesn’t even hit particularly great against RHP. You could make an equally good or better case for Sanchez.
  21. adambr2
    Saw something the other day that Sal is among the 20 worst qualified position players by WAR in baseball. He has more than earned a trip to Nashville and we keep treating him like he’s Jackson Chourio going through a slump,
  22. adambr2
    Find someone who loves you the way that Pat Murphy loves Sal “Slappy” Frelick.
  23. adambr2
    I don’t know if I want Pratt to bat here, but the alternatives aren’t much,
  24. adambr2
    Well, let’s see if Bauers can do something special.
  25. adambr2
    Yeah, the Braves “worst” hitter by OPS is Austin Riley, and he still has a .646 OPS and more homeruns this year than both Christian Yelich and William Conteras. Be a serious contending franchise and stop filling out your lineup card with guys like Joey Ortiz and Blake Perkins.
