    One might argue that that was what Mead and Rutschman were for.
  2. JoeBrady
    But to get back to my original point, Is Mil ahead 2-0 because the Dodgers have a poor hitting team, or because Milwaukee has a good pitching team. And are CL and TB in the ALCS because they have good hitting teams, or good pitching teams?
  3. JoeBrady
    It matters because, in the off-season, you have guys that you are not replacing under almost any circumstances. With the usual disclosure that 'anything can happen', we weren't replacing Story (4.1 bWAR in 2025), Duran (4.9), Narvaez (2.8), or Anthony. The only realistic moves were DH (if we moved both Duran and Yoshida), 1B (we acquired Contreras), or 2B (unlikely to have given up on Mayer).

    There is a decent chance he was still injured for the playoffs. And our 1/2 hitters went 1-14 with -0- walks. We need to have guys on base in front of him.

    After the success of Mil, CL, and TB, OBP will go back to being king. And RS had more XBH than Mil, Cl, or TB.
  6. JoeBrady
    I don't disagree that both CL and TB are well-run teams. And FWIW, I wanted to trade for Adell

    Could that have anything to do with Milwaukee having the #2 ERA in baseball last year? Too many fans assume that the problem with a lack of playoff production is with the team hitting, not the opposition's pitching. Did the Yankees lose because they can't hit, or because Rasmussen & Peralta are good pitchers?

    But it did enable them to be the best small-market team in BB. Being smarter is a poor substitute for being richer, at least in sports.
  9. JoeBrady
    Just an observation that the team with the CY winner and a #1, with a combined ERA of 2.26, might be difficult to score against. We should have scored more, but I am not surprised that Schlittler and Fried pitched well.

    Going by a 2-game sample size is a bit silly, but add up all the stats from all popular targets. The total numbers of RBIs from Schwarber, Bregman, Paredes, Marte, Alonso, Bichette, and Ketel Marte add up to a total of: 1

    I assume Drewski was just kidding, but to me, it's incredibly interesting that the statue of Atlas holding the globe is from 150 AD. It was obvious that everyone knew. But people today think this is a semi-recent discovery. When Columbus went to the king of England, the king's advisers knew almost exactly what the earth's circumference was, I think within 100 miles or so.
  12. JoeBrady
    TB was 22nd in HRs and 12th in runs scored. CL was 27th in HRs and 24th in runs scored.
  13. JoeBrady
    Are we back to good pitching stops good hitting?
  14. JoeBrady
    Off-topic, but the issue at the time is that Columbus calculated the circumference of the world as 20,000 miles, when everyone else knew it was about 25,000. He had no chance of getting to Japan or China. And he'd have starved.
  15. JoeBrady
    I assume you are referring to Milwaukee, Cleveland & TB?
  16. JoeBrady
    All the HR-hitting teams, except for the LAD, are sitting at home watching Mil, CL & TB. Should be yelling at Breslow for not acquiring more HRs?
  17. JoeBrady
    The issue, like I've been pointing out al year, was that most of the offensive issues were at spots that we were extremely unlikely to change. I doubt that any GM in BB would've traded to replace Narvaez, Story, Anthony or Duran. They all had good seasons in 2025, and they all stunk in 2026.
  18. JoeBrady
    The article mentioned 'recent'. This century (with JH), we're the best in the game. The past 8 years, the NYY have been better.
  19. JoeBrady
    I was being sarcastic when someone questions out lack of championships with a guy that played one game.
  20. JoeBrady
    Sure, not all peaches and cream. But that's the way it goes. We paid a solid price to attain our 2018 WSC. In 2019, we were #1 in payroll, #30 in prospects, and an 84-win team. That took time to straighten out.
  21. JoeBrady
    If you are starting Story at SS and Abrams at 2nd, you might be worse than if you started Arias at SS and Mead at 2nd.
  22. JoeBrady
    Who's counting on Arias being a once in a lifetime player?
  23. JoeBrady
    4 of the top 10 offensive WAR players in the AL are < 6'1. 6 of the top 10 in the NL < 6'1. Possibly both MVPs.
  24. JoeBrady
    Did Breslow say that we had an offer of Elly for Arias? Because: I can't believe that we would decline that offer. I can't believe that the Reds would make that offer.
  25. JoeBrady
    It depends on the length and on whether they are a difference-maker. I went to the MLBR 2023-24 FA listing. The younger guys were mostly fine. The older guys in the top-20? Chapman Teoscar Hernandez Candelario Gurriel Soler JD Martinez By a show of hands, how many of you want even a single one of those guys?
