MLB has an issue regarding pitching dominance
dlk9s replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The two main things that are causing the hitting issues are 1) all-or-nothing, extreme launch angle, don't care if they strikeout approach, and 2) pitchers' non-fastball pitches. To the second point, we look at how fast fastballs are now and think that's why pitchers are so dominant. It's actually their other pitches. When guys are throwing cutters at 96 MPH, sliders at 95 MPH, and wiffle ball changeups at 91 MPH, hitters have no chance. -
That was the problem.

Wow - Mitch Haniger is tied for the MLB lead in homers with 12. Good for him! Alternatively, he's tied in homers with a pitcher.

What Type of Brewers Team Will Win a World Series?
dlk9s replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If it's a binary choice (I can't pick "other"), it would be this year's version. With a pitching staff that can routinely limit other teams to three runs or fewer, I feel like it's more likely the hitters can get hot or simply scratch across a few runs to win games. At the same time, I think this type of team is better suited for the playoffs, so getting there could be a problem. -
Watching these 1982 highlights between innings and I don't get how every hitter didn't bat .400 back then. The pitchers all just lob meat up there. All arms and legs and then throw zero MPH fastballs. EDIT: I know the hitters were pretty much garbage, too, stepping in the bucket every swing.

That's a lonely feeling. Also, lol at the official scorer ruling that a double.
-
Agreed. He was interesting to listen to when they got around to talking baseball.
-
Wainwright was actually really cool - he knew it was coming, so he paused and then changed the subject to Burnes.
-
lol - I saw that 3-2 pitch going low from the start and was like, "Nooooo!!!" Then the dude whiffed it.
-
I was about to say that hitting is crappy all over MLB this year, but wow, I just looked at the stats and the Brewers are last in the NL in OPS and last in MLB in OPS+. EDIT: Second in MLB in HBP, though!
-
That's a weird question.
-
Yo, I appreciate you, dawg.
-
Probably a relief for Zimmerman. He was obviously on the brink of retirement, but decided to try to stick around this season. Couldn't have been easy psychologically bouncing around between the big league club, minors, alt site, whatever. Fine career, time to chill.
-
They have the past few games.
-
lol - I was just coming to post something similar
-
If it makes you guys feel better, we weren't going to score, anyway.
-
lol the torture continues
-
A lot of meaty pitches whiffed at.
