    It's funny that they kept trying to change the zone before 2006 or so, as until that time every single umpire had their own definition of the strike zone. Pitchers and batters just kinda knew what the zone was for each ump, or learned it very quickly. It is far far far more standardized now than it's ever been, and for the most part umps are better than they've ever been--mostly because now they have technology constantly looking over their shoulder.

    Wasnt it Derek Dietrich he threw at? So it was a borderline strike?

    Heck of a throw by Davies to lead Arcia to the runner. And a nice play by Arcia. Tough play all around well executed.

    Not sure why Pomeranz isn't in to face Rizzo.
  5. Oxy
    Yikes. Hiura isn't good out there.
  6. Oxy
    I guess I send Davies out for the 4th but I won't give him a baserunner. Pomeranz should be ready and ready to go for a few innings.
  7. Oxy
    That was quite an AB for Davies.

    Depends on if there's any other cars around

    I love the idea of making pitchers step off before they throw to a base. Guys can stare at the foot on the rubber and go at first movement unless that foot moves significantly.

    Bigger strikezone. Most strikes, more swinging, more balls in play. I think you'd have to give the hitters something too, otherwise you just end up with even more strikeouts and even less offense. It isn't so much that I want more offense and more runs, I just want to encourage more of a contact based approach rather than a 3TO approach. Moving the fences back would probably be enough, but I think there would be too many stadiums where that just isn't possible.

    It still aids the hitter TOO much without giving the pitcher much. Just trying to figure out ways to get more balls in play.

    This sounds awful. I just changed it. Still might be awful, but I think it's an improvement :O

    How about this one: A batter cannot be charged with more strikes than balls in the count unless he "takes" the pitch for a strike. At the 8th pitch of the AB, a foul ball will be called strike 3 for the out.

    19 of the next 39 games are against the Cubs and Cards. The Brewers control their own destiny for the Division Title. Win 10 of those games and they'll still be in it. Win more than 12 and I'd imagine they'll be in the driver seat for the last couple of weeks.

    Does a player need to be on the 40 man roster on August 31st in order to be eligible for the postseason roster?
  16. Oxy
    Until he gets hurt? It's slightly annoying that it limits their ability to double switch for him, but with all the off days coming up it shouldn't be much of a concern unless he gets hurt in the first inning or something like that. I'm sure they'll remedy the situation before too long.

    If you are looking for eloquence, you can start writing now but I'd hold off on publishing for awhile.
  18. Oxy
    This is still true. Lots of time to get hot. Take at least 2/3 from the Cubs this weekend and all is well enough.

    This is like the urtext of sabermetrics. This is true, and it sucks. Well, sabermetrics is what it is (it can't suck, it's just numbers)...it's the truth that sucks and makes for boring baseball. Move the fences waaaayyy back and don't count foul balls as strikes. Might get contact back into the game.
  20. Oxy
    Yep.

    His problem is...working DOWN in the zone too much lately. It sounds strange, because that's typically where you want a pitcher to work, but not Josh, he is FAR more effective when he works UP in the zone. His fast ball down=very hittable(especially for a lefty), his fastball up=UN hittable. You are like 10 years late with this, and it's not just Hader or 4 seam FB guys anymore. The long, looping, dip-your-back-shoulder style of hitting is in right now, making it very difficult to hit high pitches no matter if facing Zach Davies or Josh Hader. Also- the strike zone is now a few inches above the belt (unlike the years before statcast/pitchf/x). Now if you are Christian Yelich, who is the odd lefty with a level swing--these pitching trends are great for you as you have no trouble getting to the belt-to-letters fastball.

    So. Hader.
  23. Oxy
    That's not what I want to see, Hader. Odds of winning this game are rapidly diminishing...
  24. Oxy
    Moose and Braun and Thames need to push at least 2 across here.
  25. Oxy
    Wow. Hiura saves Anderson there. Chapman-Olson-Davis just seemed like a dinger was coming. Throw in a HBP and 2 hard hit balls near Hiura and I'm happy to get out of that inning.
