Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap
topper09er replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Its not a HR until you run the bases. He could crawl -
Hiura not in the lineup, why did they pull him off the DL? Now is not the not time to rest, about to have 6 months for that

Yelich Out for the Season with Fractured Knee Cap
topper09er replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yelich finished with a 1.100 OPS, easily the highest in franchise history. Also highest SLG in franchise history at .671. Hopefully a few guys cool down and his .329 AVE wins him another batting title. -
Is Counsell the Right Manager for the Brewers?
topper09er replied to RollieTime's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Excellent, I totally agree. I remember looking at those studies with the #1, #2, #4 conclusion and thinking that data is based on a sample of previous MLB games where the best hitter was overwhelmingly already hitting #3 and I never found a satisfying answer to explain how that was accounted for. Sorry not enough time to read your thorough post, but did you account for the fact that the #2 hitter I think gets something like ~20 more PAs over 162 games than the #3 so that is one benefit. -
I guess not. The pitcher can only "re-enter" as the pitcher once per inning but can do that every inning
-
I am pretty sure the starting pitcher cannot re-enter the game as the pitcher if they move positions. Intent is to prevent the little league strategy where your ace faces the top of the order but then a lesser pitcher just faces the bottom and they keep switching back and forth.
-
Does Grisham actually not wear batting gloves? Nice, just like Babe Ruth. The game will be 10 minutes quicker without all the extra between pitch adjustments from him.
-
well, unless we gave up Hiura, which I have no interest in.
-
Braun started hitting 3 in his 3rd career game and stayed there
-
Well Eric Thames brings 2 every day
-
I applaud this level of optimism

Looks like Lefty Grove and Jimmie Foxx were #1 and #2 for the Red Sox after Lou Gehrig retired in 1939 plus 1940 and 1941. So if Pujols plays out his contract then him and Trout can match Grove and Foxx being #1 and #2 for parts of 3 seasons. Also if we assume Pujols then retires Trout would be the #1 active WAR leader at age 30. Looks like that record may be held by Wisconsin native Kid Nichols who was the active WAR leader in 1898 at age 28
-
The 2 active WAR leaders are now Pujols and Trout. As far as I can tell it is the first time ever the 2 active leaders are on the same team.

What he describes looks like exactly what happened. Marisnick made the split second decision to go inside before he started the step when he put his right foot far out to the right. Right before that happened Lucroy moved from the right field side of the field away from right field. Making it look like he was preparing to move back and field a slight overthrow or long hop. When Marisnick started moving his right leg out to push off from and go inside Lucoy was blocking the plate, leaving no obvious sliding lane. This is where Lucroy was when Marisnick's right foot about to move outside so he could push off on it and move inside: At this point is when Marisnick decided to go inside, not sot sure how he could have magically know Lucroy would also be there for him to crush. Notice in the picture Marisnick's right foot is already extended and he already decided to go inside, well before Lucroy was there. Watch the first video here in super slo-mo speed (right click choose 1/4 speed) starting at 2:45. You can see Lucroys body swaying towards the outside, then Marisnick puts his right foot out to move inside, then Lucroys moves inside to field it. https://deadspin.com/jake-marisnick-should-probably-be-suspended-for-this-1836180059 People have this odd notion that the "Posey" rule will magically prevent all injuries and now anytime there is an injury on these plays it must be because the rule was violated. It was not, these things happen, and if the rule didnt exist Lucroy would have been expecting a pounding and would not have been
-
It was so obvious Puig would go even on the slightest bobble and Thames can't be bothered to move his feet to catch the ball in the air.
-
Hiura if that costs us the game...
-
Tough to be worse than Weeks+Yuni
-
According to gameday he K'd on a straight fastball that was a foot outside. Glad to know we got rid of Keon Broxton to pay $80M to Keon Broxton 2.0

Domingo Santana to the Mariners, Gamel and Zavolas to MKE
topper09er replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Gamel is striking out 29% this year and has been a career negative value defender. He is a good baserunner but only has 1 SB this year. -
Maris and Mantle. 115 home runs in 1961.
topper09er replied to The stache's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Shan Green (42) and Carlos Delgado (44) did it for the 2000 Blue Jays Bagwell (47) and Richard Hidalgo (44) did it for the 2000 Astros Palmeiro (47) and ARod (52) hit 40+ for the 2001 Rangers, and again for the 2002 Rangers - Palmeiro (43) ARod (57). Pujols (46) and Edmonds (42) did it for the 2004 Cards. Manny (43) and Ortiz (41) did it for the 2004 Red Sox Ortiz (47) and Manny (45) did it for the 2005 Red Sox Jermaine Dye (44) and Jim Thome (42) did it for the 2006 ChiSox Pujols (40) and Trout (41) did it for the Angels in 2015 Probably a bunch more especially around the 2000 time frame -
Aguilar has started every game against LHP this year. That's it for him now
-
I think Woodruff has a better shot than Cain at this point. He is top 10 in the NL in K rate, could be mid 3 ERA with 10+ wins and top 10 in Ks by the AS break, still outside chance but Cain would need to hit .500 in June to have a shot

Yelich increasing his league lead in HR and SBs today. nice
