Think I remember reading an article about them having a new ownership group of “smart guys looking to spend money.” As if it wasn’t just gonna be capital partner bros fleecing another team.
Mike Trout quietly snuck back onto the field yesterday. Ohtani gonna run down Judge in fWAR by September 1 at the rate they’re both going right now. I dunno if this is just a function of playing in empty stadiums, but when Ohtani goes yard it actually sounds like an explosion.
he’s only 28 and relievers tend to have variance from seasons 2 or a 5 era the next is decently normal; it’s just the shock value from dominant to that overnight, maybe the brewers realized it can’t be fixed (his fastball still 97+ so was looking for something there but that’s not it) or he’s just not mentally there since you know he’s certainly put a lot of pressure on himself lately.
his last outing that first run was weird baseball shit but that homerun he gave up was a bad fat pitch
still though it’d be one of the bigger trade fleecing in timing ever if he’s washed
it’s just wild to me that a professional organization saw their dominant reliever have a sub par month and went “gotta dump that guy asap”
