I wonder if Freddy is tipping again

 

I had that same thought 

[edfunderburk]

I wonder if Freddy is headed to the IL with arm fatigue 

I’m not so sure thank Junk couldn’t fill his spot adequately 

[Gump]

Even though the score isn’t what I wish…baseball is such a beautiful sport. The sounds,smells,skills,never knowing what might pop off the bat. What amazing catch we will see.The skill these guys have is amazing. So is the anger this beautiful game causes me..lmao  

 

Let’s go Brewers

Alright, time for the big hitters to come through.

I was hoping not to hear anything about the magnificent tagging ability of Baez this weekend. Not meant to be.

I agree that exit velocity helps but couldn’t disagree more strongly that it is everything. 

Without a good exit velocity you are going to be hitting below .200 for a season.  It really is everything.  There are not many players who are successful regardless of where they hit the ball having a low exit velocity.  Exit velocity is basically the same thing as saying squaring up with the baseball it just now has something to measure it by.  If you listen to any of the great hitters talk about hitting like Tony Gwynn and Ted Williams they will talk about this.  We now just have evidence to back up what they were saying. 

Gwynn always talked about how important it was to drive through the ball.  When you drive through the ball you will get high EV.  It is literally what every hitter is trying to do.  You now have a stat that tells you how successful a player is at driving through the baseball or squaring up on the ball or whatever saying you want to use here.  It is the single most important thing a hitter can do.  A higher exit velocity will allow you to get more hits.  This is why it is so important and why it is the single most important thing for a hitter.  Exit velocity basically tells you how well the batter hit the ball.  If it is a pulled ball or going the other way.  A higher EV on a ball going away more than likely means a base hit. 

Now there are other parts of the hit that matter to like launch angle which can tell you where the ball was hit for the most part.  But everything starts with exit velocity if you don't have a high exit velocity then you are not going to be getting a base hit.  Look at all of the poor hitters in the league and you will find a common issue.  They have poor exit velocity and extreme launch angles both negative and positive.  It is far easier to fix launch angle issues than it is to fix poor exit velocity issues. 

This is why exit velocity is everything.  Without good exit velocity the hitter is just not going to be all that good regardless of what the hitter does or doesn't do.

I miss when Contreras wasn't an auto out. Oh well he plays every day so....

[wildcat83]

The Brewers color guy bragging up Baez's tagging ability is making me puke in my mouth a little.  Bring back the Rock.

[82brewcrew82]

Just destroying Adames with middle middle sinkers.

Freddy sucks

[82brewcrew82]

Second time in a row your 2/3/4 hitters were just awful.

He does not,  He just isn't what everyone wants him to be.  It's not his fault the staff is what it is and everyone wants him to be an ace.  He isn't that.

[Bulldogboy]

Those who don't think Robert would fit in as a true impact bat in the clean up spot must not be tired of Willy in a big spot.

Yep. It's not his fault he can't put hitters away and walks a bunch. 

[82brewcrew82]

Defense isn't helping today either.   When your pitcher is off, the middle of your lineup isn't producing in scoring opportunities and your defense is sloppy, hard to win.

Today.  There have been plenty of games where he does do those things very well. He doesn't suck but you do you.

I didn't say he sucked. Of course you know that. 

I said he has trouble putting people away when he's ahead and he's walking too many. Both of which have been true throughout his career.

Right, but if did those things on the regular he'd be an ace, which he isn't.
