I don't think it is wild to say that Collins should be our #3 hitter and Vaughn should be our #4 hitter permanently.

[HarryDoyle]

That should've been 0 for 3 on steal attempts.

Just exactly as we all had it in the offseason.

I wonder how many runs they have cost themselves getting thrown out

Maybe 5 at most throughout the whole season.  They are still at a 75% success rate at stealing bases it is not as good as last year but I think last year was more of a fluke year.  Since 2020 the 2024 Brewers had the best wSB which is your stolen bases and caught stealing runs above average at 14.4.  This year the Brewers are at 1.6 which is 8th best in the league.  The Reds who were the second best team last year are at 0.1.  

Caught stealing doesn't impact the game as much as some think it does.  It is just another out and the weight of that out isn't any more than a ground out or a pop out.  

Coming into the game this year the Brewers have been caught the most stealing at 41 but have the second most stolen bases at 127.  The Rays are in first with 148 SB and 37 CS.  Ideally you want to stay around 75-80% success rate.  If you go above 80% you are not attempting enough and if you are below 75% you are attempting too much.

We're getting the calls tonight.

[Frisbee Slider]

Three days rest for Koenig, touching 98 mph

[kevinisaname]

Nice job by Jared. Three up, three down. I'm still nervous about Abner facing the heart of the order, so some runs would be nice...

[Bulldogboy]

I like pound the zone Koenig 

[wallus]

Sal isn't running normal

[liveforoctober]

Any other guys sprinting towards the wall I don't worry about because of normal human tendencies.... But when Sal is running towards one I just assume he is about to knock himself out.

[kevinisaname]

William is the only one without a hit that started the game, so let's get one!

The more important number is how many runs has it got us that we wouldn't have otherwise.

[kevinisaname]

No runs, now it's up to Abner. Please be good.

[wibadgers23]

Abner makes me nervous.  Top of the lineup for Atlanta.

[Frisbee Slider]

Twins win 2 of 3 at Detroit 🤷‍♂️

[yourout]

Atlanta canning Kevin seitzer as hitting coach is right up there with the stupidest moves I've seen out of a front office in 20 years.

[kevinisaname]

Don't squeeze us now!

[HarryDoyle]

That's been a strike all night.

[Frisbee Slider]

Got Olson anyway

[liveforoctober]

Would love Perkins to get a left-handed shot at the cycle in the 9th..

[kevinisaname]

We didn't get good Uribe, we got great Uribe.

[Frisbee Slider]

Great job, Abner! 🔥

[Bulldogboy]

Good Abner is pretty good. 

[Bulldogboy]

These guys look great with a couple of days off. I hope we can add Miller and make that regularly 

[DesertBrew52]

Want Contreras to get hot again? Call up a catcher from AAA. He takes any chance he’d play less very personally. 
 

Yelich needs to be a tougher AB. The strikeouts on obvious breaking balls is alarming.
