Not everyone here lives in Wisconsin.

So Taylor should probably be starting all the time, huh -
Has anything been written about how he's been so bad at it? Seems like he swings right through them. Not to my knowledge. In 2019 he swung and made contact at balls in the zone 76.9% of the time. This year it's 60% - worst in all of baseball. By way of comparison, Yelich was 87% in 2019.

There you go, Avi. That had to feel good.

I had a friend who was like you. Wiped out for three days after his second shot. I was lucky mine was almost nothing. So weird the different reactions. Oh well, glad we are both vaccinated! 50% of the trial participants did not feel any ill effects after their second shot. And they all ended up with the same 90% protection. The human body is complex and weird.

1 hard hit ball that inning off of Burnes. 86.4 mph 90.3 mph 70 mph 112.5 mph 83.5 mph
-
That swing should have been fixed before he ever made it to the big leagues. Like Brinson and Phillips big numbers in the minors mean diddly if you make it to the show with massive holes in your swing mechanics. He had big numbers in 2019
-
Burnes is gonna walk a guy at like 50 K's, and then proceed to K like 30 guys in a row
-
Crap. Nice hit. That was out of the zone.
-
Then go with a FB? Yeah I think he wanted that out of the zone
-
Aguilar waving at sliders away....looks like he never left Milwaukee
-
Keep an eye on Jazz Chisholm. Good looking young player.

So what? Pitchers are worth more than hitters, always. Plus, you need to take a look carefully at the stat sheets and what comparable players are getting paid. Joe Musgrove has a career 1.20 whip, FIP of 3.82 and had multiple seasons of team control left when traded. If he was a free agent he'd be an 18 million dollar a year pitcher. Ditto with Snell, since winning the hardware in 2018 he has a whip of 1.24 and a FIP of 3.65 and he came with three years left on his deal at a bargain price of 40 million dollars. As for Darvish, he was the 2nd best pitcher behind Bauer in the NL last year. He came to San Diego with 3 years and 56 million dollars on his contract after the Cubs kicked in 3 million dollars. With Bauer at 38 million per year, Gerrit Cole at 36 million dollars per year, Scherzer at 34 million Strasburg at 32 million, etc these are bargain contracts the Padres picked up, and they did it all without giving away much of their top level minor leaguers. Thus, the hypothetical that they'd somehow give up a package of top minor league player to get a hitter (albeit a good one) is the stuff of make-believe. Tone down the snark.

Knebel Traded to the Dodgers for PTBNL [LHP Leo Crawford]
homer replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
"Cost Cutting" implies one thing. Paying commensurate to value is something else. If the Brewers thought Feyereisen or Rasmussen were going to fill the Knebel roll just fine then why pay a guy $5 million when you can pay someone else less than $1 million to do the same thing? Now if you think they didn't get enough in return that's a different story. I'd be curious to know how many 7th inning guys are making $5 million or more a year. Chris Martin is an 8th inning guy. He makes $7 million. Betances has been more of an 8th inning guy. He makes $6 million. I may be missing someone but a quick glance at this list and it appears to me that Knebel is the highest paid non closer non 8th inning guy on the list. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/rankings/salary/relief-pitcher/ edit: Archie Bradley makes more...and so does half the Dodger bullpen. Looks like a few guys were signed as closers or 8th inning types but either stunk or got hurt -
I had my 2nd on Friday. Sore arm but that went away with Tylenol. The lymph nodes on one side of my neck became pretty tender yesterday evening and into today. But that's more annoying than debilitating.
-
This is wonderful. I sustain my lifeforce with Cub fan tears.
-
Teams are gonna stop shifting against Omar pretty soon.
-
pour it on. pour it all over me
-
He knows it was intentional. High and tight on the first pitch when he squares around. In a one run game in the 9th? That would be a choice.
-
Contreras probably would have thought that was intentional
-
Jackie walked! Wow!
-
The law firm of Feyereisen, Williams, & Hader
-
Gonna have to really jack one to hit a dinger today.

Sounds like it takes you to a key play or a highlight like the NFL Red Zone channel does?
