2019-07-12: Giants (Anderson) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers lose, 10-7 in 10 innings -- Bullpen woes continue to start the 2nd half]

[Zad Fnark]

Good thing all you guys hate Sedar sending guys home.

[yourout]

Not that I expected it, but I can see the break hasn't improved the umpires ability of calling of the strike zone.

If they don't want am automated zone them they need to improve.

[pitchleague]

i don’t know, might want to get Chase outta there. Don’t want to overextend him.

[yourout]

That was a hell of a throw from Posey

[PinaMadness]

Yelich has struck out his last three at bats.

Just being selected for the home run derby screws you up

 

You don’t even have to compete in it

Grandal has not really been successful at getting on base in front of Yelich. As a leadoff hitter his OBP is .333 (16/48) but since 3 of his hits have been HRs they don’t give Yelich anyone to drive in. His effective OBP in terms of putting someone on base for Yelich is just 13/48, or .271. Even a slumping Cain gets on base in front of Yelich as often than that. Since June 1 Cain’s OBP has been .310 with just one HR.

 

I’d rather have Grandal batting behind Yelich where he might be able to drive Yelich in and leave Cain (who rarely homers) in front of Yelich.

 

Wait, so you're not only not going to credit the HRs that Grandal hits to his OBP, you're actually going to penalize him for it? Yelich's OBP would drop to .227 if you do that with his HRs. That's how little sense that makes to do that.

 

Cain has 4 HRs leading off this year, shouldn't you do the same with his OBP then?

 

If you read the whole thread I was responding to a comment about getting on base for Yelich. HRs don’t put a man on base for Yelich. And, yes, I mentioned Cain’s 1 HR that he’s hit since June 1.

 

Right now I’d rather have Cain batting first than Grandal, who hasn’t been that successful as a leadoff hitter.

Yelich has struck out his last three at bats.

 

His slump from before the break is continuing. His two K’s tonight were especially bad as he’s been missing hanging breaking balls.

That made me laugh.

[yourout]

Longoria is about to send one toward Chicago

[PinaMadness]

Braun telling Gorman to get his head out of his behind and call better balls and strikes.

[yourout]

Nice piece of hitting by Thames

[young guns]

Who needs the top of the order!

[yourout]

Would not be shocked if this is Anderson's last Inning.

[yourout]

Could see that one coming

[stoutdude04]

1-2 fastball down the middle? That's neat.

[Bulldogboy]

Anderson's inability to keep the ball in the yard is annoying.

[yourout]

1-2 fastball down the middle? That's neat.

He had gotten away with some really fat ones and sooner or later they will square one up.

[brooks_quichenick]

Travis Shaw has homered for the 2nd straight day, 2-2 HR 3 RBI so far

[PinaMadness]

Is Dubon the first player born and raised in Honduras?

[yourout]

It's not a crime to put a ball in play

[brooks_quichenick]

Leave it to the Brewers to strike out a ton against a guy who rarely strikes anyone else out.

[yourout]

My son is postulating that Yelich is hurt worse than they're letting on

[PinaMadness]

Uh oh, Joe West is trending. What did he do now?

[pitchleague]

Yelich is playing like Roy Hobbs after he starts dating Memo Paris.
