2021-04-18: Pirates (Kuhl) at Brewers (Peralta) [Brewers lose, 6-5 in 10 innings]

[wibadgers23]

If Reynolds, Frazier and Moran could face Brewers pitching every game, they would be perennial all-stars.

Reynolds reminds me of Don Mattingly.

[yourout]

Sensing a Brewer walk off.

Nevermind..

[pacopete4]

Crap. He hammered that ball.

[Eye Black]

Sigh. I am just not a Boxberger believer at all. I know they don’t have a lot of better options, but it already feels like he’s going to give up a ton of game deciding runs this year. I very much hope I’m wrong.

[trwi7]

Statcast had that Reynolds homer at 436 feet with an expected batting average of .970, which begs the question. In what stadium is that an out because I can't think of a single place where that ball turns into an out.

I was just about to post, it's the same 3 guys to beat the Brewers' pitching.

He's this year's David Phelps "kinda ok guy we can hopefully squeeze some decent outings out of before the rest of the league catches up and he gets shelled" guy.

This team is going to need to rent at least two bats and a bullpen arm without giving up any of the few prospects they have in the system.

The Polo Grounds maybe?

This bullpen is shaky to say the least. If our starters can’t go deep and get to Hader it is a crapshoot.

Sort of funny that your first post in over a week is to complain about needing bats. At least you’re staying on brand upon your return.

Gotta love those 450 foot power alleys.

Mike Petriello had an example the other day of a hit that was a massively well hit ball (by exit velocity and launch angle) that wasn’t a home run because it was hit on a cold day straight into a strong breeze. He said something to the effect of “that’s exactly why sometimes massive home runs don’t have 1.000 expected BA”.

Does it factor in the chance of hurricane force winds?

[Eye Black]
