I hate MLB umpires. Machines can't come soon enough. Strike zone has been enormous all game, Votto comes up and blue starts squeezing the crap out of the zone. It's inexcusable.
-
I mean, the guy is still 1 for 17 so it doesn't really change anyone's point. Obviously the 1 was in a very big situation which obviously everyone is happy about. It’s 17 at bats. Which is why i was citing his career numbers in the discussion about him.

I take it all back. Arcia for MVP.
-
Damnit. Got to put it in play there.
-
Might have taken a shot with Braun here to go L/R. But they might have just walked him for Arcia.
-
He's got 1145 Major League PAs under his belt now and has a .653 career OPS. He wasn't a particularly good hitter in the minors. While it's possible he could improve his hit tool at 25, 26, there's a growing possibility he just isn't going to be a good hitter.
-
I can't take another zero stick season out of Arcia. He doesn't need to be a Silver Slugger, but he can't be another 9 spot in the order yet again like he was last year. If this continues, Dubon is worth a look. Orlando does not have guaranteed rights to SS for his entire career here.

Ronald Acuna signs extension 8 years $100mil
adambr2 replied to ThisIsMyCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No, you missed my point. At some point, I can be happy with the life I have knowing I simply don't have to work. If it would mentally affect your happiness to "lose" 200M when you already have 100M....that's fine. It doesn't apply to all of us. It has nothing to do with my "nothing burger state." It has to do with being comfortable in the knowledge that I can spend the rest of my life with freedom and take care of my family, and after that point, it's just a number to me as I have no desire for a super rich lifestyle. Please don't tell me "you are lying" in regard to that, I'm well aware of my own mental state and how I would handle complete financial freedom. -
Either does Domingo which is the real comparison. True, with that said, Domingo is off to a fantastic offensive start. No offense to Gamel.

Moose could probably use a day off. Some ugly swings tonight.

Ronald Acuna signs extension 8 years $100mil
adambr2 replied to ThisIsMyCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
First of all neither 50K nor 150K will set me up for life. That's the biggest difference, either 100M or 300M is life changing money. If I sold that collectable for 100M and someone else flipped it for 300M in a few years I would be just fine. Going year to year is still a huge risk, he's only making near league minimum for 3 years, more than enough time to end up either with a career ending injury or somehow end up a bust. Also you don't know that the Braves had any interest in a deal without buying out some FA. That's the whole benefit for them. If Acuna wouldn't do it, they might have rather just gone year to year. Yes the odds of him getting a big deal are better at 28 than 31 but that difference doesn't prevent him from necessarily getting another great deal in his 30s like guys such as Goldschmidt, JD Martinez, Cain, etc, have all gotten. -
Ronald Acuna signs extension 8 years $100mil
adambr2 replied to ThisIsMyCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
By the math, a 60 percent chance at $300 million is worth $180 million. I can see why someone would sign the deal. But it's still worth much less than he could earn taking the other route. The Braves are delighted to do this. Less than he COULD. How much is the certainty worth to him? How much is it worth that he can map out the rest of his life now knowing what he'll have? How much is it worth that he can just go enjoy the game he loves to play for the next 8 years and not worry about what will happen if he doesn't perform? How much stress does it add to the life of a pre-arbitration player when you get into a slump, you haven't gotten a long-term deal and you start to question if maybe you're not as good as you thought? How much sleep does it cost you and how much do you press and worry about it? Is his life really going to be of less quality and happiness if he has to retire in 8 years with 100M and could have earned 300M if he had played his cards right? There are so many more intangibles at play than just "this is what the chance is worth at this percent because this is the potential dollar amount." -

For those of you who think this is a bad deal, a question for you: Would you rather have a 100% chance at 100 million dollars, or a 60% chance at 300 million? Ronald Acuna and his family are set up for life. It's not always "what can I do to maximize my lifetime net worth." Sometimes it's just "how can I get the rest of my life figured out, remove the uncertainty and stress and be happy." -

Put the winning run on base? I figured the likelihood of him driving in the tying run was greater than the next guy hitting an extra base hit that would score two. Might feel like that, but Suarez is really good. I wouldn't take my chances with him when you're basically changing the game winning hit from being a double instead of a HR on a day when the ball isn't carrying.
-
We'll take it! Not especially pretty but it doesn't need to be. Great work by Wilson, who is looking like a great pickup. Even though his hits were inconsequential it was good to see Grandal start hitting.
-
No kidding, how bad has the Brewer bullpen so far? NL ranks- ERA = 5th (3.57) FIP = 3rd (0.96) OPS against = 2nd (.590) Extremely small sample size, outside of Hader, average to slightly below average pen. But on a positive note, nowhere to go but up! Wouldn't most pens be average to slightly below average at best if you remove their best reliever?
-
Not good.
-
Atta boy Braun!
-
Come on Braun. Make up for that defensive miscue earlier.
-
Well, the run of goose eggs after the 1st I think may be more to blame. Doesn't matter what inning you get them in, gotta get 'em when you can, even if it is in bunches. That was our shot.
-
We had a shot to put this one away in the 1st inning and couldn't do it. Grandal starting at strike 3 with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out where a routine flyball makes it 4-3 right now is the AB that really hurt us.
-
Claudio has been a bum against RHB his entire career. I said from the moment they traded for him if they try to turn him into something he's not, it's not going to work out well. Just dumb. He's a LOOGY only. This is so stupid.
-
Really hoped that Arcia was finally coming around last postseason. Right back to the awful stick we saw most of last year. I would have no hesitation sending him down to San Antonio for Dubon for awhile if this crap keeps up again.
