2020-09-21: Brewers (Woodruff) at Reds (Castillo) [Brewers lose, 6-3]

[dlk9s]

Yelich could use another 5 or 10 lbs of muscle.

 

Yeah, his physique has really hurt his homerun totals the last few seasons.

His bat looks slow this year compared to previous seasons.

[LouisEly]

Someone want to tell Lepay that Woodruff is NOT one of the hardest throwers in the majors.

I doubt he is in the top 15.

I'm having trouble finding stats, but I recall seeing stats shown on TV broadcasts that among starting pitchers he's in the top five.

Is there any evidence to support either (a) More muscle = faster bat speed; (2) Yelich's bat speed is slower this year?

What do Cincy fans say about their hitting coach?

Narvaez has to come up with that foul tip for strike three.

[yourout]

What do Cincy fans say about their hitting coach?

 

Not sure but I'm betting they like their pitching coach......I know I do.

[owbc]

There are 11 teams in MLB hitting worse than Cincinnati right now.

[TURBO]

Swear words, lots of swear words.

[yourout]

Right down the middle...Screaming hit me all the way to the plate.

[Eye Black]

Brewers have been living a bit on the edge all night, finally burned them.

[markedman5]

Bad location at the wrong time

[mtrebs]

It’s always a home run then too. Not just a hit to drive in the run to tie it.

They can't help themselves from falling.

I like the Brewers pitching coach.

The only off season acquisition that has been worth a damn is Gyorko, and it isn't even close.

 

Smoak, Narvaez, Sogard, Urias, Lauer, Morrison, etc have all been close to nothingness.

 

Call-ups of Rasmussen, Taylor, and Nottingham have been better than all of them. Perhaps a lesson there to build a minor league system since that was maxxing out the quantity and quality of what could be generated without casting the net outside.

[LouisEly]

I'd say that Anderson and Yardley have been worth a damn.

[TURBO]

Pay off pitch, pay off pitch, pay off pitch...

 

I wonder if Rock ever gets sick of it?

[TURBO]

Peterson = MVP!

[yourout]

Huge help.

[Lostpawn]

I was just about to make a snarky post about Peterson, and he went and did that. Nice hit.

[markedman5]

Peterson has scolded the ball twice now........

[TURBO]

Arcia continues to have a dancing back foot....Why that has never been fixed I'll never know...

[owbc]

That looked almost identical to Yelich's liner in game 7 of the 2018 NLCS. Except in that case Taylor took the correct route and made the catch.
