I can't wait to see Burnes pitch in person! And against a really good team.

Have fun at the game!

I’ll give today’s crazy rant, feel free to mock me as you see fit...

 

It annoys me when base cloggers like Vogelbach (11th percentile sprint speed), Shaw (10th percentile sprint speed), and Narvaez (12th percentile sprint speed) all bat immediately in front of a much faster player, in this case Yelich (82nd percentile sprint speed), Adames (75th percentile sprint speed), and Cain (83rd percentile sprint speed). I know you aren’t ever going to be able to completely avoid it, but often times it looks like they go out of their way to set the lineup in that manner.

 

Admittedly, the bigger gripe should probably be the fact Vogelbach is batting second in this lineup.

[Sixtofan]

Vogelbach and Narvaez are both faster than Shaw? Yikes

[B-Train]

Keeping Keaton out against a good righty even though he has solid numbers against Musgrove. Not a huge deal. But why Vogelbach in the 2 hole? I totally agree with you Eye B. Maybe he likes a guy who works the count in that spot??

I normally don't get behind the base clogger idea, but I've had very little to complain about the last couple of days so I'll jump on board.

[sveumrules]

For whatever it is or isn't worth ZiPS rest of season projections have Vogelbach down for a 788 OPS, second on the team behind Yelich (894) & just ahead of Omar (761), Avisail (759) and Kolten (756).

 

I would guess the Brewers internal projections are spitting out something similar which is driving Dan's lineup placement.

Vogelbach .370 OBP in his last 15 games. .350 OBP in his last 30 games. Isn’t an OBP guy who you want in the 2 hole?

How does Burnes have a losing record lol

None taken.

[yourout]

At least they made him throw some pitches.

[trwi7]

Back in my day you could buy a movie ticket, a malt and a ride on the carousel for the price of Travis Shaw's batting average.

[adambr2]

Shaw is not good.

[homer]

Now he's walkin' e'erbody

[adambr2]

Seriously, MLB umps are so bad.

[adambr2]

On a 1-2 pitch. Ugh.

[TURBO]

Shaw is not good.

 

1 for his last 29.

 

ugh

[TURBO]

why why why throw the bal to 2B there?

[jason21nl]

Absolutely no reason to throw down.

[adambr2]

So stupid. So. Stupid.

[Baldkin]

Why the heck throw through 0-2?

[Jopal78]

2 errors in 4 games. Adames isn’t playing better than Urias s

[wibadgers23]

Terrible decision by Narvaez there but Burnes got himself in this mess with the two freebies to the bottom of the order.
