Takes after his manager. -
Strong finish to the season by Turang. Another guy who may be the next QTC is Michael Mediavilla - 34th round pick who in a very small sample has pitched very well: 30.1 IP, 14 H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 31 K. Yes, he's a college pitcher in Rookie ball, but that type of line is hard to pull off in that league as it is somewhat similar to the PCL in terms of hitter-friendliness.

They were trained by Harry Caray for years on that...
-
Trying to be the hero instead of having patience with a guy who will miss the strike zone.
-
Edwards will walk guys. Have patience and you'll get baserunners.
-
That 5th pitch was closer than some of the strikes that Hamels got.
-
Recency Effect and Anchoring - two common biases that people have.
-
They looked like they were on the edge of the zone to me:
-
Highly likely that Bonifacio was signed simply to help fill out the AAA roster for their playoff push with all of the callups to the majors. Minor league deal, no 40-man spot = unlikely to get called up.
-
Hamilton scored on a wild pitch, which was reviewed because the ump thought he missed the plate. He got it, though. Even before that though, seemed like a good two minutes between pitches.
-
They haven't been able to stop us either. First one to run out of pitchers loses.
-
Following on Gameday - what the hell is taking so long between pitches?
-
Woodruff only went two innings tonight. Hopefully that is planned so that he's fresh and ready to go on 9/1 with two days rest. The funny thing is that he was relieved by Hernandez. Both pitched two innings giving up one run/earned run. But Woodruff walked one and struck out four, Hernandez walked four and struck out one.
-
Pina's season OPS now up over .700 and his 2nd half OPS is .785. Maybe not trading for a catcher was the right thing to do. (Kratz's 2nd half OPS is .697, but that's pretty much par if not above average for a backup catcher.)
-
That's what I'm hearing - there is external pressure to press charges. Not sure if it's the parents, but someone with some stroke is pressing hard for it. Now the hearing is delayed until 9/11. Wonder if that means Davis gets suspended for an additional game. They might be being cautious with Davis and not wanting to risk playing him if he ends up getting in more trouble. Not sure where the line is in having to forfeit games with players who are accused of something and later end up getting found guilty.
-
Believe it or not, Hamilton's career OPS vs. MIL is only .639 (compared to overall career OPS of .629). But 1/3rd (7 of 21) career HRs have come against MIL. Either all or nothing with him.
-
Thanks everyone! Do you know approximately when the lights get turned off/down on the monuments?

I knew you were referring to Stearns, and I was not one of the people who complained about it. Thank you, though, for the apology and thank you to those who stood up for me. There was a post - I thought it was from you, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly - when I questioned not having Thames in the lineup vs. Bailey (a RHP on the Reds), and was told to look up Braun's career numbers and "go back and edit (your) post". This is a good example - and I'm not bring it up to call anyone out, but to use it as an example and a teaching moment - of what the mods are referring to, as that last part was not necessary. Maybe it was in jest, but it's hard to tell that in writing as words on a screen don't have voice inflection, facial expressions, etc. A better way to phrase that response could have been something like, "They all have crushed the Reds and Bailey - he's having a tough season, but Braun's likely in the lineup because he has a 1.100 career OPS vs. Bailey." Could have made the same point without the last comment. Again, not calling anyone out here, just showing an example of how the same point could be made without potentially offending anyone. The point the mods are making is, take an extra second or two to think about your comments before hitting submit. No need to call anyone names, no need to call someone out because they didn't find some obscure stat, no need to make it personal. Just "stick to the facts", state your opinion/stats and nothing more, and move on. And when in doubt, use blue font or add a smiley face/emoji to reinforce that you are joking.

I don’t understand why or how he’s overrated. His team has improved each year. We were technically supposed to be in rebuild for quite a bit longer. All GMs have moves that dont pan out. All of them. But the one thing you can’t take away from Stearns is that this team is in a much better place today than when he took over and going forward. Don't overlook how Melvin got it started. Melvin acquired Hader/Houser/Santana/Phillips, Davies, Knebel, Diplan, and Lind (who Stearns flipped for Freddy Peralta).
-
WAS came back to beat PHI. PHI made the last out on a runner tagging up early (from 2nd to 3rd). No ground lost to PHI.
-
Hard to do that when you had to go to your bullpen in the 2nd inning. One more run and the game is in extra innings... then what? Woodruff's turn in the rotation is tomorrow; he last pitched on 8/24. Expect to see him up. If not... don't be surprised (or upset) if Wilkerson is up. He's on the AAA Temporary Inactive list and hasn't pitched in a while. He's as fresh as anyone.
-
Do you miss Jacob Barnes yet?
-
I think Diplan's a good bet - he's below his innings from last year. I'm putting money on Sanchez and Olczak. Now that Ponce has been moved to the bullpen I think he's a solid choice. I think Grisham's a good bet to try to challenge him. Stokes is probably an even better bet. I think you have to be in AA by Aug 1st in order to qualify as a AA player; if that's the case then Weston Wilson might be the below-AA choice. Catchers are a shoe-in; McDowell's a solid bet. Erceg went last year; guys can go again but it's not common. Pitchers - Ponce, Sanchez, Olczak, Diplan Position players - McDowell, Stokes, Grisham, and one of Wilson/Erceg Below-AA exception: Wilson Dark horses: Luke Barker, Cooper Hummel
-
Davies throws a 9-inning complete game giving up seven hits but gets it done in only 86 pitches. That's incredible. Erceg hasn't played in four days. Hurt or getting a break to work on something?

Goals for 2018/Expectations moving forward
LouisEly replied to Cool Hand Lucroy's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Given how much Stearns/ownership invested in the 2018 team, I expect the playoffs. I don't expect a division title, but I expect the playoffs. Some guys won't be back next year, either by free agency or by trade. They will have excess starting pitching next year and they can turn that into patching holes or prospects. But they need a taste of the playoffs this year so that they aren't overwhelmed or intimidated by it next year. Winning in the playoffs is a little different than winning in the regular season, and that is something that needs to be learned by experience. Packed stadiums, loud opposing fans, different use of pitchers, higher pressure - it's a different environment, and very few teams win the first time they go through it.
