I couldn’t find the runs by home run but the Brewers only have a 2.7% home run rate per hit. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/home-run-pct I think if you extract that out it should give you a quick reference in the run distribution by hits. You could calculate it manually at baseball reference I think.

Perkins is like a mini Andruw Jones in CF so smooth out there.

I would have to look again but I think the Brewers have one of the lowest runs by HR in the league.

This team needs a Robert or Alonso type in the lineup. Just not enough of a HR threat in this lineup right now.

If they need to hit home runs then they are not scoring. This team is more of stringing hits together to score runs than it is on the home run. Majority of this teams runs don’t come on the HR.

I don’t think that really matters to the Bucks. They were and are still really high on him. I think he is in their A list of head coaching candidates.

I think it will only be one cut and probably just after the election when the Fed meets in November. I have been on the one or no rate cuts for a while now. I don’t think we will see two this year. There are still 4 members in the no cuts camp and 8 in the two cut camp. Of the other 19 I haven’t seen anything or heard anything on where they stand. I am going to assume they are in the only one rate cut camp.

If the team sucks or is not playing well then Ham is the next head coach. I think the Bucks wanted Ham to replace Bud but it was a year too soon when he left to be the Lakers head coach.

I wonder if the Giants would trade for Frelick. Maybe something like Birdsong (LHP) for Frelick could work. Wouldn't be someone who could help this year but next year could be possible for Birdsong.

Frelick needs to go he is just absolutely horrible. Offensively he is bottom of the league for everything other than speed.

Just saw this on baseball savant

Kikuchi is the pitcher I want the Brewers to trade for if the Blue Jays are out of it.

I don't think this umpire knows where the strike zone is or isn't.

LOL ump. That is a clear strike lol.

Industry standard for houses will allow for mass manufacturing of houses. Currently there are none because of all of the different regulations local, state and federal. Once you start to get into mass production prices tend to decrease. Quality though also tends to take a hit on mass production also.

#1 need to also include pensions. #2 not going to happen. #3 there needs to be an industry wide standard with few exceptions for local weather. Florida houses don’t need to be earthquake proof and Montana doesn’t need to be hurricane proof.

Welcome back Darvin Ham! https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10124243-nba-rumors-ex-lakers-hc-darvin-ham-joining-doc-rivers-bucks-staff-as-top-assistant

I said feels like. Dunn was just an example of the type of player you would want to trade from your other posts.

This is not having a very good year? A 3.48 ERA and a WAR of 1.9 already for a pitcher qualifies as a very good year. Also Brown is hitting .158 in AA. I don't think he has much value at all and it wouldn't be all that big of a loss for Kikuchi. Blalock is having a good year but he isn't a top tier prospect. So not really an insane deal. It feels like you want to give up Dunn and that is about it for anyone. Blalock and Brown is probably not enough for Kikuchi.

Check out Anderson's advanced stats. His ERA is a mirage.

You are not going to get Rogers for cheaper than Fedde.

Without a good exit velocity you are going to be hitting below .200 for a season. It really is everything. There are not many players who are successful regardless of where they hit the ball having a low exit velocity. Exit velocity is basically the same thing as saying squaring up with the baseball it just now has something to measure it by. If you listen to any of the great hitters talk about hitting like Tony Gwynn and Ted Williams they will talk about this. We now just have evidence to back up what they were saying. Gwynn always talked about how important it was to drive through the ball. When you drive through the ball you will get high EV. It is literally what every hitter is trying to do. You now have a stat that tells you how successful a player is at driving through the baseball or squaring up on the ball or whatever saying you want to use here. It is the single most important thing a hitter can do. A higher exit velocity will allow you to get more hits. This is why it is so important and why it is the single most important thing for a hitter. Exit velocity basically tells you how well the batter hit the ball. If it is a pulled ball or going the other way. A higher EV on a ball going away more than likely means a base hit. Now there are other parts of the hit that matter to like launch angle which can tell you where the ball was hit for the most part. But everything starts with exit velocity if you don't have a high exit velocity then you are not going to be getting a base hit. Look at all of the poor hitters in the league and you will find a common issue. They have poor exit velocity and extreme launch angles both negative and positive. It is far easier to fix launch angle issues than it is to fix poor exit velocity issues. This is why exit velocity is everything. Without good exit velocity the hitter is just not going to be all that good regardless of what the hitter does or doesn't do.

But those are not low EV hits either. You are confusing exit velocity with pulling a ball. You can actually get less exit velocity by trying to pull a bull than if the hitter goes to the opposite side of the field. Adames AB that inning is a perfect example of that. It had a 48.8 EV and it was pulled.

It is though. You will get a base hit more than likely with a higher EV than you will with a low EV. The Canha hit was at 98 EV and Kelly's was at 98.3 EV. So neither of them would qualify. The two low EV's in that inning all were outs with one high EV being an out. The lowest EV for a hit was by Baez at 83.6.

Edit Canha not Greene was out by a lot but Frelick has a worse arm than Yelich and is playing in RF.......
