Since August 1st, Vaughn has a wOBA of .314 but an xwOBA of .349

A 101 wrc+, but that xwOBA would be about a 125 wrc+. 

He has been really unlucky with hits considering the contact he is making. 

It took me about 3 weeks of good contact to believe we might have something. Then he slumped... but then he started walking and hitting the ball hard again.

Last night it paid off, but I'm actually starting to think he's a.... good player. 

I do also like Hoskins and I would feel good about having him come in and pinch hit in a playoff game in which you need a runner/HR. I mean, as much as anyone else.

We have DL Hall and Megill back soon enough?

Don't you mean IL Hall?

I love the Brewers and... I guess it really doesn't matter, but I don't trust their injury "optimism." 

The Back injury was supposed to be about as minor a back surgery as you could get. Shaving down a disk so you don't have back spasms. But... now here we are again. 

On the one hand, I kinda wanted them to put guys on the DL and be in this position. Misiorowski was one and a...shin contusion is fine. But it doesn't feel like most of these are 'we're just gonna give these guys a break because it's a long year,'- type injuries. 

We need a healthy Megill, Uribe, Mears, Koenig, Ashby, Hall. Anything from Anderson or anyone else is a bonus.

Our lineup, we REALLY need Chourio, Yelich, Frelick, Turang, Contreras. Vaughn, Ortiz, Durbin and presumably Perkins just need to do their jobs of playing defense and having good ABs, nothing special.... beyond being there and healthy.

Buy it or not, with Yelich not being able to play, they’re down to Collins, Perkins, Frelick, and Chourio as OFs. Bauers can play OF, and is a LH bat. Hoskins and Vaughn are redundant - RH, 1Bs only. How would you platoon those two? If you DH one of them, that puts Yelich in the field (when healthy), and takes out Collins, Chourio, or Frelick. 
 

 

This is the explanation.  IIRC, they said that Yelich initially tweaked/felt something on his double against Arizona, which would have been on 8/27, before the 9/1 callup.

So the Brewers likely knew that Yelich might need some time off before they made the decision on who to call up on 9/1, thus why Bauers is there and Hoskins isn't.

I'm going to remain positive with all the injuries stuff to our big players right now. They are being extra cautious they are good for down the stretch and in the playoffs. No reason to play through minor stuff now, not yet. Get 100% now or as close as you can.

I've assumed this has been happening for a while.... someone gets "dinged" and they get a light vacation on the IL.  Let them rest a bit, limit innings pitched, refresh the body and get everyone 100% for the playoffs.

Thank you for being honest, I appreciate that very much and guess it sounds like 60/40 great to me right now?

Well his catching hand isn't swollen anymore.

Ya I’m definitely starting to get nervous about the Megill situation. 
 

The silver lining is that the NLDS has 3 off days if it goes 5. So your high leverage guys could potentially in all 5 games if needed. So depth in the pen won’t be quite ad important as it would be if we advance to the NLCS.

Getting Henderson and Megill back would be great. Remove some of the sting from Woodruff.

Well yes, I'd consider throwing bullpen sessions better news than...not being able to throw a bullpen.  Fingers crossed it goes well, especially for Megill.

Muttering to myself: 11 days till game one of the NLDS, 11 days till game one of the NLDS, 11 days till game one of the NLDS, 11 days till game one of the NLDS, 11 days till game one of the NLDS...

Can someone explain what 1, 2 or 3 up means?

Believe it is just breaking up the pitches like a simulated game. Throw 15-20, sit down for a little while. Get back up and throw 15-20 more. Repeat as needed depending on each pitcher's individual recovery timeline and role as starter vs reliever.
