I wonder if/when Adames will ditch the high leg lift and excessive launch angle?

 

Probably won't happen in a Brewer uni.

Chick dig the long ball.

Nonsense.  The Brewers have what, the fifth or sixth best record in baseball and third best in the NL (right behind the Dodgers) almost entirely based on run prevention but you go ahead and preach.

Not to mention they're doing it with about half the payroll too.

[willie key]

What inning do you think we will get to three runs?   I say the 8th

[82brewcrew82]

Frelick - Contreras - Yelich - Sasntana - New DH - Monesterio - Adames - Anderson - Weimer

[Bulldogboy]

Hiura with a grand slam tonight. He appears to have ditched the leg kick completely. Very interested to see if he gets a call sooner than later. Got to think he's a trade target of someone who has ab to give away.

And in all likelihood won't/wouldn't make it out of the 1st round of the playoffs, because, a team like the Braves for instance could score 3 off Burnes, and the Brewers don't have the firepower to come back from that. Think about that. You also do realize the crew has a negative run differential, right? You know what that tells me? That they have been pretty lucky in a lot of close games this year. 

So if they have the 5th or 6th best record in baseball, imagine what their record would be like if they could hit. I mean the Braves, are one of the worst fielding teams in all of baseball, what about their "run prevention"? They don't have to worry about it, because they can ht their way out of any situation.

That was actually a terrible no send

[adambr2]

Get Turang back to AAA

[dlk9s]

Weimer just saved this forum much angst.

[jason21nl]

Big hit!!

[adambr2]

Huge hit by Weimer. Couldn't afford to come up empty handed there. 

[duewizard]

Wiemer yay

[bensheeps]

Big Hit for Joey!

[willie key]

Needed that

[Bulldogboy]

Turang is non competitive. Send him down tomorrow when Santana arrives. Toro stays.

Has urias stopped doing that too.    I hope that’s what he’s working on in the minors

It really sticks in my craw that this stuff hasn't been addressed by the big league club from the top down.

Does he still do that bizarre bowing of the back? B.S.

Well, it worked for a few months, which isn't nothing...

But that isn't what you said. You said run prevention doesn't win, presumably advocating that offense does.  Never mind that your statement is demonstrably false but explain why several teams that sold  out for offense are looking to sell off.  I think we can all agree the Reds have a pretty stacked offense but have a worse run differential than we do (never mind they just got owned by the run prevention team yet again).  Of course this team would be in a better position with more offense, but so would the reds with more run prevention.  I'm sure you'll shift the goal post again but your premise doesn't hold.

The vast majority of the high-end hitters in Major League baseball don't have the mechanical qwirks that way too many guys wearing Brewer uniforms have and far too many of them make it through the minor leagues with flawed mechanics only to be exposed when they get to the big league club.

[Bulldogboy]

Your team gets you the lead and you come out and fall behind 3-1 and throw a cookie. Cool

Why are you ignoring my Braves example? Name the last team to win a World Series with as bad of an offense as the 2023 Brewers?
