Because Counsell is better both offensively and defensively than Betancourt.

Roenicke wants me to think he's an idiot (Kotsay in CF)
endaround replied to endaround's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
By well I'm sure he means a guy with a non-zero or so WAR. If Kotsay is limited to basically pinch hitting he'll be fine but that's because his defense is terrible. I mean if the Padres defense played well last night two of Kotsay's hit would have been outs instead so we are still seeing a huge flux in his stats. -
So why is Betancourt playing? Counsell is a better player than Betancourt, Kotsay is a worse player than Gomez. Kotsay and Gomez have almost the exact offense over the year with a wOBA of .294 for Gomez and a wOBA of .296 for Kotsay.

And Boggs? No its just Roenicke making sure god ol' Kotsay doesn't get out of his grove because then we'll get even worse offense from him!

1/4 season done - how have the big trades worked out?
endaround replied to TheRealMattKain's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If Jeffress was on the Brewers right now people would be going crazy with the amount of walks he gives up -
Lineup is out. 3 things stand out: 1). Hart is batting 2nd. 2). Lucroy is catching Wolf and batting 7th. 3). Betancourt actually moved up in the order and Counsell still isn't playing over him 2B Rickie Weeks RF Corey Hart LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder 3B Casey McGehee SS Yuniesky Betancourt C Jonathan Lucroy CF Carlos Gomez LHP Randy Wolf

Former farm hands have a big Night

Brantley isn't a CFer. He may possibly be a RFer but there were questions about his arm if I remember correctly. -

endaround replied to brewmann04's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Neither Jeffress or Escobar had a big night for the Royals. -
right now his defense is at 7.3 runs after the last update. Now that is likely too high but he'll likely be worth about 2 wins if he played full time (given the Brewers have Morgan he shouldn't). his current UZR/150 is 35.58 vs a career mark of 15.8. Morgan is at 17.3 for his career.
-
At this point its hard to be a worse hitter than Betancourt. You think he'll get somewhat better but he could also just be done. This isn't Hanley Ramirez we are waiting on to turn it around after all.
-
.260? I'll bet anything that Lucroy will be well over .260. I'm thinking .288 with a .350ish OBP. He was at .380 for his minor league career, so I don't think it's a stretch. I really believe this is a case where he was thrown in maybe a year too early last year, learned how to become a major league hitter, and he's reaping the benefits this year. He should be no lower than 6th in the lineup. I just don't see any logical argument why Lucroy or Hart shouldn't be hitting 2nd. If it's Hart, then Lucroy should be 6th, and pushing Casey for the #5 spot. I'm fine with giving Casey more time though, at least he's proven he can produce in that spot. unfortunately, we have a manager who feels clearing the pitcher's spot is more important than scoring runs. And again it doesn't matter where Lucroy hits in the order to clear the pitcher's spot. If he gets on base hitting 2nd or hitting 8th it has the exact same effect as to when the pitcher hits (assuming no double plays)
-
Why not hit for Betancourt there? Bring in a LHer and give yourself a chance.
-
If you know McGehee can put one down, sure its a good play. But bunting a guy over the 3B is hard-too soft the catcher grabs and throws to 3B, to hard and the pitcher can get it easily to 3B.
-
Loe has really been bad this year, that's why it really makes no sense. An FIP of 4.25 isn't shut down reliever stuff
-
I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. Well, I guess I could see why not: MLB is afraid of technology.Almost all of that is in software packages and has been for a while. just some don't like using them and rather have charts
-
Good job of Weeks hustling down the line to clear the #2 hitter so he didn't lead off next inning
-
Can we start seeing more Counsell at short please?
-
The only worse hitter who plays everyday is Betancourt (and he's actually significantly worse)
-
That just means Bowa has never seen Gomez try to bunt
-
Was Hart really out? Does the player need to have control of the ball for the force? It was somewhat in his glove but he really didn't catch it until he fell off teh bag. Any one know what if the ruling was correct?
-
Morgan is almost as good defensively and can hit vs RHers
-
Yes. He just never really looks it because of his long legs
-
So this ump likes neither the low nor the high curve
-
I'm going to blow Roenicke's mind, Lucroy getting on base as the #2 hitter will have the exact same effect as getting on base as the #8 hitter when it comes to the pitcher leading off an inning.
-
I wish someone would ask Roenicke point blank why he thinks Gomez deserve 1 more PA per game than Lucroy
