His one month heater alone is probably worth more than Rowdy produced as a Brewer his entire career.... checks notes, rough math: 0.3 WAR for Rowdy, seems about right. And I like Rowdy.

The other day I did a quick search for a spring training quote from Bassit predicting a breakout season for Francis. Don’t think it meant much more than positivity from a teammate especially since it seems mid season changes played a big part in recent success. But I can’t get the quote out of my head. Mostly because I can’t find it. Does anybody else remember it? Or maybe I imagined it?

“If Ricky or Francis needs to start for us this year and they become our No. 1, I don't think anyone would be shocked. As crazy as that is, that's how good of stuff they have. That's how mature they are."”

Yes. Thank you! Although I’m not on Twitter so must have read it in a spring training notebook type article by Keegan. In any event, I can now turn to the 999 other bits of stupid that seem to occupy my mind. Or try to occupy myself with cuz it really ain’t great out there.
