That's a pretty wild analogy you made there, but ok. I didn't say the Brewers have a great offense. Or even a good one. Didn't even hint at it. All I said was the Cubs are hot right now, and maybe they'll cool off, as we're still (technically) in first place. That's all I said. -
The reds won 12 in a row at one point (or something like that) and we're still somehow (miraculously) in front of them. I'm living with the belief that the Cubs have to cool off at some point. If not, then it wasn't meant to be.

I think the likely hood of Brian Anderson hitting a homerun, yes, was less than the Brewers scoring three runs with guys already on the corners with a .360 OBP guy at the dish. Anderson has hit one homerun since June, and has looked lost in his limited at bats since then. As Jason21 pointed out, Caratini would have been an option, or just trying to punch together a few basehits or walks.
-
I think it speaks a lot about the construction of the roster when we're like "yeah, Vic Caratini is the guy we'd actually want" when we're down to the last 1/3rd of the season and the division lead is on the line.
-
I wouldn't have argued with that. Anderson does nothing for me (and he just came back from a lengthy layoff) and I'd have been disappointed to see Monasterio pulled for Anderson.
-
Monasterio has a .362 OBP. When you're down, the goal (should) be to not make outs, which Monasterio does better than most of the guys on this roster. Anderson has 9 homers in almost 300 plate appearances, so it's not like we have anyone on the bench who's anything more than a moderate (at best) power threat.
-
Wiemer needs to take the off-season and take a long look at his approach at the plate. What worked against AAA (and AAAA) talent isn't working here.
-
I'm sure he's not just giving up, but he's putting Mejia in there knowing that he's saving his "better" arms that he has a better mathematical chance to win than they do today. Of course you want to try your hardest to win every day, but in a 162 game season, you have to manage your resources, not just go balls-out like every day is game 7 of the world series.
-
Uribe pitched 2 innings Friday, so he's not pitching 2 innings today. I"m not arguing that Mejia shouldn't be in there in a close game, but bullpen management when you have a team that doesn't score runs has to be hard. Super hard. You literally have to pick your poison, and I'm sure at this point, Counsell knew this game was a punt, more or less.
-
Because you can't just use him every day. Brewers (By necessity) are in close/low scoring games a lot, which makes the appearances of Payamps and Williams and Milner super valuable.
-
When a team can't hit it's way out of a wet paper bag, guys tend to get overly-aggressive on the bases trying to make things happen. They shouldn't, but it happens.
-
I'm sure they have those conversations daily. Conversely, Counsell might say to Arnold, "you've given me a roster full of .675 OPS hitters, what do you expect me to do?" GM's and managers speak daily. I'm sure lineup construction and playing time is part of those conversations.
-
Seems like Woody was pretty amped to start this game and burned a lot of energy early perhaps. That's alright. Just good to see him back on the mound. He'll be fine in the long run.
-
An alright first inning back for Woody.

I'd rather the idea of four 5-team pods or divisions so we can still get some intra division games against all the old rivals at least every 3-4 years. I don't like this. but like others have said, I understand this is how things are. I'm not a pac 10/12 fan, but it's still sad as a huge fan of college football to see a conference with such a long history and tradition be undone in such a short time by the changing landscape of tv money. it is what it is... -
Unless or until MLB switches to 'bots, calls that close are gonna get missed. It is what it is. Whatever the definition of a strike "is" doesn't matter. Even good umps (if they exist) are gonna make mistakes, and that was as close a pitch as there can be.
-
If the Reds are out of contention to the point of trading Votto, why would they be considering Miley? In the same vein, Colin Rea is 33 and a career negative WAR pitcher. I know they shouldn't expect much for Votto, but if they're going to literally get a bag of nuts for him, why not just ride out the season, and sell some tickets and jerseys? There's no value to the Reds with guys like Rea or Miley in the short or long term future if they're not contending, so this makes no sense.

Well there's something that should literally never happen. -

Average fastball's are all Colin Rae's got :D -

DuWayne Steurer replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
WIth first and third and less than two outs, (and a three run lead) you can't really pitch around (or put someone on) guys. Aside from that, as BruisedCrew said, the Reds are stacked offensively almost top to bottom of lineup. Pitching around Votto for another .800+ OPS guy to bat is bad baseball. -

100 innings is a pretty tiny sample to draw much conclusive data from for a defender. Miller might have decent stats at first, but he doesn't appear to pass the eye test, at least initially. We'll see how much time he gets over there, and if the data backs up perception over time. -
Urias will probably be fine. He was out for 60-ish games. Dude probably needs to knock off some rust. Maybe he needed more time in the minors, but whatever, It is what it is. He's an above average performer when healthy, and if he's healthy, he should be playing and getting reps in Milwaukee, not Nashville. Unless/until this becomes a months long slump, it's nothing to worry about.
-
Oh, I'm not complaining about how the Bucks have been ran, by any means. This is just a general comment about *why* rich d00ds buy franchises. I'm even sure Lasry is happy that they won a championship. But I'm also pretty sure he's more happy he made a boatload of cash.
-
This is why rich guys buy sports franchises. Not to dump money into championship runs, or bankrupt themselves to chase rings, but because the valuation of these franchises rises enough to make them a worthwhile investment. Lasry cashes out after 8+ years and has made a nice chunk of change.

I wanna see an ump take a foul tip to the church bells, and the pitcher, catcher and batter all impatiently telling him to get in there, as the pitch clock winds down.
