2019-04-13: Brewers (Davies) at Dodgers (Ferguson) [Brewers win, 4-1 -- Davies allows just 1 run over 7.0 IP; Guerra notches 1st career save]

[pacopete4]

Move everyone down in the order not named Yelich, Cain or Grandal. Or wait, it’s not even 50 at bats into the season.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If there is one thing this board has down it's hot takes based on small samples. Not aimed at anyone in particular but good grief.

 

I know what you mean. My Davies post was more of a hope than a declaration. I've always liked guys like Davies who aren't country strong and aren't winging it at 96+. He knows how to pitch. I know there's a lot of Brewer fans who don't like him, including some on this board. I think that actually makes me root for him even more.

Kudos to the Dodgers organist who played the Simpsons theme last night when Burnes came to bat and Come Dancing tonight when Davies came to bat.

I'm fine with Davies and he, along with Chacin, have been a calming influence on the rotation. What I'm not fine with is a whole rotation full of soft tossers like Davies. He's fine in this rotation and has pitched well. Is he back? Let's give it a couple more weeks.

Kudos to you for noticing. I never would have.

Dominating with the change up......my goodness

"3rd time through the order? Hogwash!" - Zach Davies, probably

agreed.

 

He's a clever one though...

I wonder if there is any data that describes the relationship between the "third time through" numbers and the experience level of the pitcher.

[Eye Black]

Zach Davies has now thrown 21.0 career innings at Dodger Stadium. He has only given up two runs total over that span, both solo home runs.

[Oxy]

Kinda wish Davies was still pitching

[DHonks]

 

JJ update

Not good.

 

What speeds was he throwing last season?

 

Not sure why it's bad. As Stearns says, last year JJ was throwing 90-92 in early April, but slowly worked it up. Sounds like he's not throwing 83-84 like spring training. Looking forward to him being back

You're right. I got caught thinking about end of year JJ. It does show just how much of a question mark the pen was at the beginning of last year. Not all that different then now, I think. Thanks for the reality check.

Who gets the 9th?

[Baldkin]

Who gets the 9th?

Junior?

Guerra has been pretty good. So has Claudio. Albers hasn't been bad. Hader is Hader and getting JJ back would give them five arms I'd be pretty comfortable with. If they can get one guy to step up internally and maybe acquire another, the pen will be fine.

[markedman5]

I'd send junior back out there assuming Hader can't go.......if not then Wilson I would think

[markedman5]

So Junior it is.....nobody up

[Bulldogboy]

Looks like Junior back out. Nobody up.

[Bulldogboy]

Mad props to Junior who was our opening day starter a couple years ago. The dude has come back from the brink and is a huge piece of the puzzle again.

[The stache]

Wow, did Zach Davies give us exactly what we needed tonight. Great to see Aguilar starting to come out of it, too. Big hit last night, 1 for 2 tonight with a pair of walks. Now, if Brauny would just get it going, and Shaw, too.

Shaw has had a good night as well. Not everyone is going to hit at the same time. It's just nice to have a deep enough lineup that will most likely see a couple of guys hot at any given time.

[PinaMadness]

That's 5 out of 9.

[82brewcrew82]

Nice.
