The Turang-Frelick swap that happened the day after someone here suggested it has worked out very well for both.

You're welcome.

My dad always said:  "you got to holler at the TV once in a while."

[kevinisaname]

Come on, Jose. You just got a big lead.

[duewizard]

Hoskins needs to catch that come on

[HarryDoyle]

And Quintana is doing his best to give it away. A better team would've tagged him for at least three runs already.

[Brian]

That should Be an E on Hoskins.

Well, it is what it is just for today. But we do have 6.

Freeland is on track for 2.8 WAR on 140 IP and 5.13 era how is that possible

FanGraphs uses FIP for their default pitcher WAR and Freeland has been much better in that regard with a 3.63 FIP entering today.

BRef (-0.1 WAR) and FanGraphs runs allowed WAR (-0.2 rWAR) are more representative of that 5.13 ERA which is around 10% worse than average after accounting for Coors.

ESP 3 runs for Rockies.

[Gump]

Imagine only winning 18 games and yelling at the ump. Lmaooooooo

[Underachiever]

My standard statement where I say after over 50 years of watching baseball, I have no idea what a balk is. I’m always surprised when it’s called.

[HarryDoyle]

And the old sac bunt the runner to third to balk in a run works to perfection.

And the a strikeout to boot, I say we trade him after this season. He is not much better than Bauers. 

[Underachiever]

Turned on the Reds game to see Martinez finish the no-hitter. 2nd pitch I see is a double that breaks up the no-no

Collins could be Brewers Rookie of the year.

I’m thinking Miz!

NL Rookie WAR Leaders (position players)

Baldwin ATL (2.0) Collins MIL (1.4) Kim LAD (1.0) Hicks MIA (0.8) Durbin MIL (0.6)

NL Rookie rWAR Leaders (pitchers)

Patrick MIL (1.9) Lord WAS (1.0) Henderson MIL (1.0) Casparius LAD (1.0) Misio MIL (0.9)

Pretty good stuff from Brewers rookies this year. But it’s not just this year.

Going back to Arnold’s first year at the helm in 2023, Brewers rookie position players have put up 12.5 WAR, best in MLB.

Brewers rookie pitchers have posted 8.9 rWAR since 2023, fourth in MLB.

You jinxed him. 

[kevinisaname]

Not a great outing by Quintana. It shouldn't be this close.

After his first couple starts, I haven't been too impressed with him. He's our #5 at this point. 

[Brian]

3.30 ERA now, so I'm ok with that.

Not sure he has any trade value but I hope he’s moved before the deadline 

[adambr2]

Quintana was a nice signing. But he’s just here to help us get by for now. He’s not going to be someone who is on the playoff roster in October.

That ERA is OK in my book.

But only good for 5 that is for sure.

On rockies feed: Quintana out.  He was too wild and had too many pitches.  He was sweating like crazy also.

I do like the idea that Miz, Patrick, Henderson, etc get to learn from him.
