It seems it takes the brewers longer than most to figure these kinds of things out. See Freddy Peralta. The Brewers' front office watch the same games as we do, and have access to the same, if not more amount of analytics out there. So I have to think this is an intentional effort to try and develop their own starting pitching. Many saw Peralta, Burnes, Woodruff as key pieces of a star rotation. The fact that they're have more perseverance and tenacity in trying to develop major league quality pitching while still being close to the top of the division is a big win for me, as hard as it can be to watch the games sometimes. At least one of the pitchers struggling is going to have to make in impact in the second half if the Brewers want to compete for the postseason. If (and that's a big if) there's significant upgrades to be had in the trade market, the chances of that pitcher pulling off a CC Sabathia in 2008 run seems highly unlikely. -
I was giggling about the Mets’ pen allowing 5 runs in the ninth, guess the baseball gods weren’t having anything of that.

Showmingo goes down swinging at a pitch at his eye level...

On the bright side, Rock just confused Ben with his brother.

Gamel must have had a late night last night...

Let Perez pitch until Houser is ready?
-
Should preemptively strike before he gets his shot at Pineapple
-
Jimmy not looking that comfortable on the mound, almost like a pitcher in ST still trying to get all the parts of his delivery in sync.
-
Obvious not a high enough leverage situation for Burnes to perform well...
-
Unsurprising that Plesac kept on yapping even when he wasn't on the air...
-
With Braun admitting that he never really liked third base, yet still doing so-so at 1st and open to playing 2nd (!), I have to think it was some combination of motivation and concentration. He seemed to have trouble both reacting quickly to balls hit his way, but also taking his time on throws to keep them out of the stands or dugout.

2019 Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-5
tomwopat replied to And That's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
Hoese the only selection with the 80 batflip so far. -
Dan Plesac: Arcia should cut down his swing. Orlando Arcia: Hold my beer.
-
It seemed like Hader thought the game was over after the 8th. I don't think he was the only one.
-
What is the message sent to Keston? What else does he need to do to get to the bigs?
-
Hashtag Sac man! #OuttaHiura

Former Brewers Reliever and MLB Network Dan Plesac. And he just made the "Hey Hey Hey!" tagline after talking about Matt Albers.

FARTSLAM turns into a TOOTBLAN

Apparently Burnes didn't think it was a high-enough leverage situation, so he made it higher.

I don’t know, A.J. Pierzynski seems to actually be terrible at it. I don’t think he has the type of former player personality and insight/knowledge sharing that play well on broadcasts. Of course he didn’t exactly have the type of personality that played well on the field either. Despite his reputation I don't find him that intolerable. He has some occasional nuggets of insight, and makes mention of a lot of the obvious things that might not obvious to the casual fan. So I think he could develop into a decent color guy, I just prefer I didn't have to listen to him hone his skills, a national broadcast should have a team with a bit more polish. This should not be surprising to me given Fox's track record of selection and evaluation of broadcaster talent, but still.
-
I don't think these broadcasters are terrible, but the quality of their call is more in line with what I'd expect from a minor league game. Tons of repetition, cliches, and bad jokes. Surely they could find someone better and more experienced for a weekend nationally-televised game?
-
Good that CC found a low leverage situation to bring in Burnes, the Brewers bats looking lifeless this evening. If Barnes tops out as a above average mid/high level reliever I think that's neither overly surprising or anything to be ashamed about. What is more surprising to me is that Woodruff has leapfrogged him as pitcher-- he seemed much more the thrower of the two last year.
-
Is there a rule that prevents last-minute changes to the starting lineup before the player has taken the field or an AB? That is, could the Brewers have someone else hit in the #8 spot then have Peralta take his place even though he has been announced as the starting pitcher?
-
For how many MLB starters is that an inside the park HR?
