Brewers (Hall) vs Orioles (Kremer): 4/13/24, 3:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Is this team... insanely good? I mean, some of this is luck-powered, but man this team looks so much better than I expected.

[MoreTrife]

The BA and BA with RISP seems very unlikely to stay that high. Pitching seems to have had some good luck as well with lots of hard hit balls hit to people. Who knows though!

[Dragonbait]

Averaging over 6 runs a game.... doubt that is going to stay... but still very encouraging. 

 

Pitching giving up little over 4 R/g

Yes regression will come but Brewers hitters are currently 11th in xwOBA and 9 points above league average while Brewers pitchers are 16th in xwOBA and 4 points above league average. So while the numbers won’t stay this rosy, the expected stats still paint a positive picture. Brewers are also 2nd in OAA and a very good baserunning team. They currently are showing to be a very well balanced team with no true weakness.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone believes the Brewers true talent level as an offense is the 124 wRC+ they are currently rocking, but even if they could end up around 2018 (105 wRC+ | 37.1 batting runs) or 2022 (103 wRC+ | 23.3 batting runs) levels that would be something like an eight to ten win improvement over 2023 (92 wRC+ | -61.4 batting runs).

We will not stall with Hall!

Let's play Wiemer against Kremer!

Our foes are O's

We shall win I suppose!

Even Corbin Burnes knows!

[Outlander]

The Orioles did add Yohan Ramirez to the active roster today so will see if there are any more fireworks today. Probably will want to avoid another suspension though.

[wallus]

I hope if we do win that we do not win by too much as to offend the Irish players on the opposing team again.

[Underachiever]

Everyone always predicts regression. I predict dominance.

Did Milwaukee make a roster move to add Wiemer?

I see that Wiemer isn’t in the Nashville lineup today - but Hicklen is 

[wallus]

Brewers with the fewest walks allowed in the NL. Pretty smart when you have a great defense behind you.

I hope not because he is only 11 for 50 with the Sounds.

And still K'ing more than you'd like. Still needs to get more comfy with the 'quieter' approach I'm sure. If they make a move I'd think it's gotta be Hicklen.

[Sugarrayray]

The entire team has a higher ops than probably any player under the last four years of the Counsell area. And yea, I think it has a lot to do with him not having influence anymore. 

[duewizard]

I think we see Roller before Hicklen. Hicklen not on the 40-man. Roller is

[Gump]

Terrible start for Hall…

[Brian]

Not a good start for the crew today. 

[duewizard]

2 homers. Both on the fastball

[Brian]

3 runs in 2 hits. Maybe he will settle down now. 

[Bulldogboy]

Hall just feels like a reliever to me watching him thus far. Hope I'm wrong.

If he was relieving and did that it would be way worse. 

[Gump]

Hoskins was an amazing pickup man!

[Brock Beauchamp]

What happened with Hall and the three runs? I just got home from a kid's birthday party.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Sounds like some good swings being put on the ball by the Brewers so far. Continuing the trend from last night. Might need to win a slugfest.
