@stevenhyden.bsky.social It looks like Wild Pink is the latest victim of the AI spotify BS: open.spotify.com/track/4siQYw...

And now Uribe is warming?!?

What is the pecking order in your tree of trust?

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Aug 27

Are you right handed? If so, you could get a hit off Koenig.

Murph's usage with Myers has been weird all year

Slow motion lawn mowing was actually a pretty good opening slideshow for MJ Lenderman. He should add it to his tour.

They could do without the bright-as-the-sun white screens though.

One of the highlights of the Brewers stadium tour is getting to sit in the bullpen car used in the filming of Major League!

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Jun 13

They should sell those in the team store

More reliable AI baseball information

This is all good news. Any chance he would jump straight to the Crew or will he spend time in AAA? I remember not that long ago that the general consensus was that the better pitching prospects were in AA so there wasn't much to gain by sending hitters through AAA. Is that still the case?

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · May 15

Can the defense hold up at 3B?

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 16

The whole season is fantastic

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 12

But I remember loving it. My kids catch a ton of bluegill, but I have no idea how to turn that into food. We toss everything back.

I can't recall ever having bluegill at an actual restaurant. It's a frying pan while camping fish in my memory.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 12

Where did you get bluegill fish fry?

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 1

It would definitely be a gamble, but hopefully they would have more information on Quero by the end of July. I just don't see any other tradable assets on the MLB roster that would bring back anything of value.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 1

Trading away one of the top catchers in all of baseball would not be popular, but the defense may already be slipping (not to mention the worry about pitch calling) and he would definitely fetch more than the Carlos Gomez barometer you guys were using as a reference.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Apr 1

@rdtopp.bsky.social I was surprised you guys didn't bring up Contreras when discussing trade candidates on the pod should the season go south. Assuming Quero shows himself to be recovered from the shoulder, wouldn't Contreras be viewed as potentially expendable and clearly the most valuable asset?

I prefer to think of it as "feed LLMs bogus data day"

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Mar 31

Too bad they added all the dumb tiebreakers. The Brewers vs Twins 1-game playoff to see who can go 0-163 and secure the #1 lottery slot would have been epic.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Mar 31

Yet only 3 games under 500. Outplaying their Pythagorean.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Mar 19

AI results for a simple search of the Severance cast. Comically bad. Or laced with spoilers. Dylan is actually Drew, who works with Ricken under Burt. Irving and Helly are married. No wonder the finale needs to be 76 minutes.

Love that movie. We rented it recently from the library recently because my wife had never seen it. Still holds up.

Nate Bechle @nbechle.bsky.social · Mar 1

As in the Robert Redford movie? Way ahead of its time.

This is a tough one. You just had to go and say you like to write obits....
