What a stat

Sam Miller @sammillerbb.bsky.social · 19h ago

Before tonight Freddy Peralta, in his career, had allowed the fourth-lowest batting average in live ball history. After one game as a Ray, he's now ninth.

Because it’s fun. Henderson - 6 IP, 2 ER, 8 ks 1 bb Skubal - 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 ks 2 bb

Brewers win 4-2! -Henderson 6IP, 2 ER, 8K -Pen goes 3IP shutout(Senzatela, Uribe, Megill) -Megill gets his 19th Save -Chourio 3/4, HR, 2 RBI -Vaughn hit a HR -Contreras 2/4 -Pratt 2/4 -Lara had a RBI #ThisIsMyCrew #MILvsPIT

That is a very large amount of money. Talk about resetting the market

Ian Rapoport@rapsheet.bsky.social · yesterday

The Bears and All-Pro OT Darnell Wright have agreed to terms on a fat new deal to make him one of the NFL’s highest paid, per me and Jeremy Fowler He gets a 4-year, $116M deal with $93M guaranteed done by his agents at Octagon. The former first rounder cashes in.

I tend to consider myself more on the analytical side and alot of times tend to dismiss more abstract nuances of team building. Yelich is tough because he clearly isn't producing enough. But he's also the leader of the team. How would the team react if the Brewers traded for another DH? I'm not sure

Curt Hogg@cyrthogg.bsky.social · yesterday

Moving past Skubal… The Brewers’ *real* conundrum at the deadline was this: In a vacuum, the spot to upgrade — given production and access and cost — on offense was DH. Should they have done so? Arguably. But they were never going to. Because /gestures broadly/.

I haven't dug too deep into the Wisconsin Democratic Primary until the last week or so but the more I look into Francesca Hong, the more I think this governor's race is going to end up way closer than it should be. Dems should be able to walk to a win during these midterms given the current

As far as the deadline goes as a whole, I'd grade it a D, mainly because I'm mad about giving up Frias. The Yoho/Naylor trade was fine and I like the Senzatela move. I do think May/Romero/Senzatela will boost the Crew's pitching staff for the stretch run. But they are significant underdogs to the

Price point on Senzatela seems perfectly reasonable. No complaints there

I like the addition to the pen, now what did we give up?

Curt Hogg@cyrthogg.bsky.social · 2d ago

Brewers acquiring Antonio Senzatela, sources say.

I basically blindly trust Matt Arnold. This is the first time in a long time where I've truly questioned a move he's made. Hopefully I'm just being an idiot

Atleast the Cubs are blowing through their farm system too. Thats a win

Honestly, this might me the most mad I've ever been at a Matt Arnold decision

The Trade Deadline remains the absolute worst time to make a trade. Buyers almost never end up getting good value

everyone who begged for the Brewers to make a deal needs to eat shit.

I absolutely despise the trade deadline. Hope all the fans who wanted the Brewers to be aggressive are satisfied

Holy shit the Brewers gave up Frias & Ragsdale??? That is awful

Dustin May & JoJo Romero are both fine pitchers and can play a role for the Brewers. Curious what they gave up

Fwiw, Reid Detmers also compares similarly to Shane Drohan Detmers: 4.03 ERA, 3.35 FIP, 27 years old Drohan: 3.48 ERA, 3.03 FIP, 27 years old I wouldn't have been against adding Detmers, I just want people to realize we are talking Shane Drohan level of pitching here, not TOR arms

Mark Podskarbi@mvp21.bsky.social · 2d ago

I think way too many people are freaking out about not getting Jose Soriano. He's a fine pitcher, but I wouldn't have given up Pena for him. For comparison Jose Soriano- 3.29 ERA(3.79 FIP), age 27, 2.5 years of control Shane Drohan- 3.48 ERA(3.03 FIP), age 27, 6 years of control

While everyone pre-pre-pre-prepares to be upset about the Brewers deadline, I did a full update on my Top 100 in the system over the last couple weeks, adding in draft picks and making some big moves up and down. I'll have blurbs on each player on Patreon in the next couple days.

The Phillies defense was already....well.....uh... Now it is going to be a full-on HOOT.

PCA an incredible level of dumb

A fully precedented crash out. See every other deadline.

Ben_Oehler@benoehler.bsky.social · 2d ago

Brewers fans are about 8 hours away from an unprecedented crashout.

A last place team giving up a top 50 prospect in baseball is a choice

Zach Tom now going by Zach Bako-Bewele is going to take some getting used to

Great thread from JR here. He's spot on(as usual)

JR Radcliffe@jrradcliffe.bsky.social · 3d ago

Current status: Comparing prospect packages isn't worth it. That's fair value for a rental. Impossible to know what Tigers valued (maybe they suck! Maybe they know things we don't!), impossible to know if teams like MKE got the chance to up ante. Or would have.

"FWIW, from what I heard, Tigers wanted to start with Peña and get either Henderson or two other arms instead, including Tyson Hardin. I would not have made that deal, if I were Matt Arnold." Per @matrueblood.bsky.social That's an easy pass for me brewerfanatic.com/forums/topic...
