    After the rain out with no rain and the switch to the night game they can pretty much suck it.
  2. homer
    RALLY CAPS...lock

    Please don't try to get around the cuss filter. Offending posts have been deleted.

    It would not be an in-game thread without several overreactions.
  5. homer
    Those arm tattoos are terrible.

    Nelson's injury is just going to add more drama to the 2017 Brewer season DVD. It's like the moment in a cop movie where the partner dies...then the hero enters act III and kicks everyone's butt.

    Could stretch Hader out.

    So you want the Cubs to have Schwarber at DH for the next decade? No thanks. If he reproduces the season he's had I would not complain about that.
  9. homer
    I doubt pitchers are hurt more often now. I do think they are handled more carefully since they are so incredibly valuable.

    Right rotator cuff strain and partial anterior labrum tear. Poo

    Also don't have time to look, but curious what their OBP is with 2 strikes. As you said, I think for the most part they seem to see enough pitches. But then chase once they have 2 strikes. More walks are a cure to so many problems. 8th in all of baseball in pitches per plate appearance: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2017-pitches-batting.shtml 1st in the NL https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2017-pitches-batting.shtml

    They are now 0 -2 in games where they schemed to change the schedule in their favor. Cheater's proof!
  13. homer
    Don't have time to look but I think they are seeing a lot of pitches. Just not getting a walk or a hit as an end result.

    I agree. I was yelled at in high school for moving my catcher's mitt. I asked the ump "Isn't it where it crosses the plate? Not where it hits my glove?" and he told me to stop mouthing off or he'd toss me.

    Hitting .249 overall (.246 with bases empty). It's not like they are a juggernaut when no one's on base.

    Thank you, Adam Lind.

    Bring back Dave Bush!

    I only quoted his xFIP specifically. I also looked at contact rates - specifically soft contact. I also looked at BABIP. Just watching him pitch is the last thing you should do to determine luck. You can't remember where every ground ball goes and you can't remember every liner right at a guy. Also, the defense behind a guy matters. Is Villar playing or is Sogard? Is Shaw playing or is Perez? That makes a difference especially for a guy that pitches to contact like Davies. If you can remember all of that then you are a savant and should move to Las Vegas and start counting cards. Fair enough. You certainly can't remember where every ball has been hit, you can get a much better feel for whether he's hitting his spots, how good his stuff looks, what kind of pitches guys are swinging and missing at, etc. The XFIP appears to be an outlier advanced metric in this case when looking at others. FIP is low 3s, BABIP is 276, WHIP is down, strand rate is about the same, K rate is up, BB rate is about the same. The BABIP is mildly lucky, but he's also generating much less hard contact than the 1st half...so it should make sense that his BABIP go down a bit. The FIP in this case probably makes the most sense to where is ERA truly belongs. Taking a handful of advanced metrics as a whole points to low 3s(which is worse than low 2s where his 2nd half ERA is) in my opinion. Agreed. It's not a good idea to look only at a stat or stats or just use the eye test. Need both (e.g. you can't tell arm slot from a stat).

    I liked the different colored sleeves but the yellow was a bit too much.
  21. homer
    His xFIP in the 2nd half is 4.23. He's pitched much better but the ERA is deceiving. Luckily for him he has Arcia playing shortstop so even if he K's fewer guys as long as he keeps inducing weak grounders he should be OK.
  22. homer
    If the Brewers can find a 26 year old 2B that has big potential but is blocked I'd be fine trading Broxton for him.
  23. homer
    FYI - Santana Free Agent in 2022 Broxton 2023 Brinson, Phillips....after that. So they have all of them controlled for a while. Really don't have to do anything if they don't want to.
  24. homer
    We have HBO Now, Showtime, Sling, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. More than enough to keep us occupied. I'll probably ditch Showtime and Sling once we are done with Homeland and the football season is over with.

    I thought so too until a few weeks ago. You can now change your Comcast package right on their web page. Used to have to call them but now you can just check or uncheck boxes.
