This is why Brewers fans would be dumb to support a salary cap.

@rdtopp.bsky.social pedantic, I know, but Andrew Vaughn joined the Brewers on July 7th. From July 7th on, the best hitter on the Brewers was Brice Turang: .298/.370/.519 for a 147 wRC+! FIVE NINETEEN! (also wild that minimum 70 PA everyone but Perkins and Joey was > 110, 11 guys!)

Two straight blowouts, why should the AFC get an automatic Super Bowl berth?

First baseball arby decision to make sense since Braun beat the charges. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

@jimowczarski.bsky.social pool report question needs to be phrased “replays clearly show that Myles Turners foot was not on the sideline, so why did you call him out anyway?”

@jimowczarski.bsky.social Jim, his left foot is literally never out of bounds. What are we even doing here? I mean, this is absurd beyond belief

24 hours until the trade deadline, Bucks fans. Milwaukee vs. Everybody. #KeepGiannis

Deploy the national fuckin guard you spineless piece of shit

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social the Brewers get 6 years of Chourio, Turang, Frelick, Miz, etc. because part of the CNA is long team control. There is no world in which a cap is added without shortening the control years. The burden of proof that a cap is better for the Brewers is on you

Every Caleb Williams play

@cyrthogg.bsky.social @jrradcliffe.bsky.social Spotrac has the final 25 payroll at $137M & projected '26 payroll at $113. While RR has 25 at $123M & 26 at $135. The difference is where the buyouts are put. Should we think of the '26 Crew at $24M below last year's payroll or $12M above?

@mketailgatenetwork.bsky.social Aaron Ash-by. Not just the name, but also the fear that an insect (manager) will come and infect (overuse) it to the point it will get and illness (injury) and be lost forever.

SNOTZENFREUDE TO TIE IT

Q: What do you call it when many people in multiple events are deliberately killed on the open seas outside of a declaration of war? A: Murder. Mass murder. Crimes against humanity.

@cyrthogg.bsky.social this it?

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social is it officially 3:38 CT or are they shifting it back with it being the only game 5?

Woof City, population Mike Estabrook

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social the Machado boos for the entirety of his ABs after kicking Aguilar were loud and constant

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social why wouldn’t Hoskins be on the roster? Most DS team take 14 hitters, why would t you take a RH Power hitter as the 14th guy?

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.”

the aristocrats!

I'm married to an Master of Public Administration and I can say that it is an extremely sexy degree so long as you never, ever tag along on work drinks

This dude is an asshole and I feel very confident that he can't do anything about me saying so. Fuck him.

@mketailgatenetwork.bsky.social FYI, I have been absolutely convinced batting last is a disadvantage. The idea that it would be advantageous is that there is a knowledge gap. But in baseball the knowledge gap FAVORS the defense. You change your defensive strategy based on who is the tying run.

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social what’s your “no WS Champs have ever been below x ranked in SLG%” thing again? Brewers up to 14th and .007 out of the top 10. They gained .008 last week…

@cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com @jeffreypaternostro.bsky.social which Brewers starting position players is having a 90th percentile season? Contreras, Yelich, Chourio, Hoskins, Ortiz, Mitchell? That’s 6/9 to start the year for whom it is probably 50th or worse. Frelick, Turang ~75th

Happy PECOTA Finally Thinks the Brewers Will Win the Most Games in Baseball Day, to all those who celebrate. www.baseballprospectus.com/standings/ 96.1 Wins for the Crew compared to 95.5 for the Dodgers.

Here's just a classic Cubs post www.bleedcubbieblue.com/post/ObYRukC...

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social FYI, post-cribbage night, a totally not arbitrary date that everyone acknowledges was rhetorical turning point of the season, the Brewers are 5th in SLG, 2nd in the NL, 1st in RS, 1st in RA and of course 1st in wins (46-19)

@cyrthogg.bsky.social break the O’Hearn deal please

@mketailgatenetwork.bsky.social seriously, @rdtopp.bsky.social needs to move to Europe. Or at least schedule an October vacation

@dustyevely.bsky.social Favre or Rodgers? As a qb? as an idol. Neither is not an option

@cespedesbbq.bsky.social the confidence with which national pods declare factually incorrect information about the Milwaukee Brewers can be funny. The Brewers literally added an All Star in 2021. YMMV on Eduardo Escobar, but he was literally an All Star that season.

If I were that kid, I'd brag about that for life. I'd bring it up all the time.

@cyrthogg.bsky.social need the catch probability on that Collins catch. Looked impressive

@mketailgatenetwork.bsky.social amazingly you guys forgot a piece of Brewers starting pitching depth… Nestor Cortes says he’ll be ready post ASB.

Thunder look…leggy. Very “the big Russian is cut!” vibe.

THE SNAKE HOLE LOUNGE IS GOING BANANAS

interesting that Matt has been on a “politics is all about matching public opinion” kick while demonstrating here that even extremely conspicuous political messaging can juke him out of his shoes

@stevejones20.bsky.social except the court in clutch time?

@mikepetriello.bsky.social is there a way to see CF positioning in two different ABs? In William Contreras's 1st AB they had him way overshifted to RCF. In his 3rd, he was shaded to LCF. In the 1st he dumped a single to LCF, and his 3rd a double to RCF. It was quite the overcompensation by CLE

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

@rdtopp.bsky.social you ever get a response about Yoho's 4-seamer? It seems like pitches with his movement profile are categorized as: If the movement graph puts it below arm-slot= Sinker (see M Leiter) If the movement Graph puts it at or above arm-slot= 4-Seam (see N. Eovaldi)

@bryancurtis.bsky.social when referring to COVID, this Princeton PoliSci Professor calls it “the snowstorm on steroids” (In reference to the concept that NE Mayors must be there during the snowstorm if they ever want to be reelected) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #MediaPissTest

@fangraphs.com I sent an email, but I think something is wrong on this page www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.... the numbers don't add up (see below) and I doubt anyone thinks the White Sox will score 4.5 R/G this year.
