Nieves is so bad, he's going to screw up Lucroy, too

[Funketown]

Let's play a game: What are the following numbers?

 

.149, .162, .178, .182, .200, .307

[TooLiveBrew]

Ron Roenicke's BAC numbers when he's decided to start Nieves?

Amazing. Actually made me laugh after the crap-fest we saw tonight.

Glad I can help

Well, I guess I can't say you're not correct...

 

(hint: Zach Greinke is .307)

I don't think Nieves is negatively affecting Lucroy. Lucroy's numbers are reverting to what he is offensively, an average major league catcher.

 

That being said we are way too far into the year to continue to ride with Nieves. We all remember Chad Moeller. In 2006, he was hitting .184/.231/.276 with 2 HR and 5 RBI through 29 games when he was outrighted in early July in favor of Mike Rivera. Let's hope Melvin doesn't wait another 3 weeks.

I actually think that last night may be the breaking point for Nieves.

Guys I have a confession....I am Doug Melvin.

Without looking and after your Greinke hint I would assume it is Nieves' batting average lined up with all of our starting pitcher's batting averages.

It's nice to see Lucroy able to take the day game after night game off today. I guess we have that luxury now with a backup catcher who can actually hit.

Nope, it's their wOBA's. Needless to say, Wil Nieves was not having a good year.
