  1. https://startkyleorton.substack.com/p/caleb-and-the-terrible-horrible-no?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=ndzck&triedRedirect=true Great deep dive into Caleb’s performance.
  2. Just go ahead and roll over to these pieces of maggot horsefeathers that knocked you out the playoffs. Why not. Are they point shaving?
  3. How do we know it was Counsell holding Milwaukee back and not David Stearns?
  4. Who didn’t see the catchers interference by a lace would lead to an inside the park error home run. Awful week for PCA.
  5. It would be nice if for once the pitching staff picked up the offense if they refuse to score more than 3 runs again.
  6. Easier said than done but it sure would be nice if we had a guy who could capitalize on these run scoring opportunities for all 6 months to help with sequencing. The offense on the aggregate is right around where we expect and going through a stabilization period. The only way they’d maintain that 5.5 run/game pace was if Happ, Nico and Suzuki sustained their career high OPS paces. The extreme streakiness still persists. Same for starting pitching. It’d be nice if he had a guy who could’ve shut down the brewers for a 3-2 win on Monday. If winning 84-90 wins is the goal here than we have the guys to do it. My worry is the lack of any significant positive regression from the staff.
  7. It wasn’t even a gamble. He had a career 118 wRC+ at the time of the signing as a multiple time gold glove winner with over 25 fWAR. No one saw his suck coming.
  8. The only slump proof part of the roster is defense, which is what got Swanson, PCA and Nico $100+ million deals, and the value they provide has limitations when you have a pitching staff that’s allowed more home runs than all but 2 teams. We don’t have any arms who can pick up slumping offense either. If Shota was that guy then that 9-3 loss on Monday becomes a 3-2 win.
  9. I hope Glasnows injury isn’t too serious. I’ll need him to help knock these piss ants out of the playoffs again for my sanity.
  10. 1st and 2nd 0 outs: Bregman with the pop out, Happ looks at a called third strike and Suzuki strikes out on a slider off the plate away. Some things never change.
  11. Right. If that bridge is ever crossed in a dream world then it’d be weird having a statue built while players are allowed to wear #18, even if it’s only practice squad guys.
  12. If they didn’t officially retire Urlachers number then I wonder what happens with #18 if that bridge is ever crossed.
  13. He’s just a guy with a 781 OPS since 2022 who’s currently at 805, which will drop another 20 points or so by seasons end..
  14. They’re not even competitive in their losses. They’ve been outscored 84-36 in their last 11 of them.
  15. He’s looking at K%, not total strikeouts. Cubs lead the league in plate appearances so maybe that’s why.
  16. It definitely feels like it since they have the 12th highest K% with RISP.
  17. Brewers have this weird ability to actually aim their hits like they’re hitting irons.
