The Brewster

Ted Schmidt and Ron Collins discuss the usual array of stuff that might or might not include hitting streaks, a couple Davids, Loserville's need for more pitcher injuries, our propensity to talk longer than seems reasonable for normal human beings, Chris Mann, Joey O'Brien (yes, how many people can pull off an entire discussion about Joey Freaking O'Brien?). Oh, yeah ... there might be a bunch of fun with Joe's great Trade Value List. And Mike Trout ... let's not forget Mike Trout.

Late night content...hells yeah.

It's like Tylenol PM.

Great job!

The hitting streak record is 47 by L'arch in 2040. Full listing of everyone 20+ is on HTML.

Awesome episode once again! Some chronological running list of notes...

Hitting Streak
Ron got it correct…according to the games achievements page, L'Arch's 47-game streak in 2040 set the record, bettering Iran Brito's 43-game streak in 2024.

Re: Pitcher injuries
Ron referenced an analysis piece he did about pitcher injuries, which you can read here: 2038 In-retrospect (Following Pitcher Injuries: Elbows)

I also did a analysis piece on Tommy John surgery recovery, which you can read here: Dr. Frank Jobe or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Not Hate the UCL

Also should note that after Browning's injury, I searched the forums for the same reported injury ("Radial nerve (elbow) decompression surgery") and did some analysis, which I posted as a feature (sorry, Shaw).


Tom Rudge
Ted, do you really have to ask why you know about the name Tom Rudge? This is the Hustlers we're talking about here! The BBA's version of the Yankees! Everyone knew the likes of Kevin Maas, Ricky Ledee, Shane Spencer, Nick Johnson, Melky Cabrera, Clint Frazier, etc., all because the pinstripe hype factory. No different than what's coming from the desk of General Manager, Matt Rectenwald.


Joey O'Brien
I can respond to the rumors: O'Brien is not being shopped around...he's being waived.


Trade Value Series
No comments other than thank you so much for the kind words! The episode's discourse and the forum comments are what keep me wanting to do it each year.

This will make my four hours of driving today a bit better...or result in road rage

lol at that ending. It does feel like that was Matt’s goal at times. As pointed out larch is the streak king and Rudge hit the game 7 Landis winning grand slam.

Best episode yet.

I had a 4.5 hour drive today but could not convince my wife to listen to this. Oh well.

Haha. I actually waited for my wife to finish working out because she was using our shared Spotify account. She texted me when I was clear to use it and the show ended as I pulled up to my destination.

Why I think we did even make something up when the kid hit 47

That's cool. I guess that went down shortly before I came back.
