  1. Hiura was swinging at pitches in the zone today, so I'm not at all concerned about his 4 K performance because that shows it wasn't a plate discipline issue and we already know he has elite bat-on-ball skills. He's probably still jittery from the call-up.
  2. Freitas is a no-bat catcher regardless of a hot stretch at AAA. Nottingham is a better PH option to have, which is why this makes sense given that he will only have to play in the field 1-2 times before Pina gets back.
  3. Why exactly would we trade Thames when Aguilar and Shaw have both been atrocious?
  4. "Get a haircut!" I respect that the Phillies have literally mic'd up the entire front row.
  5. They may have taken a ding after 5 BB tonight, but coming into tonight his peripherals have been around the top 10 pitchers in baseball (more or less all consensus aces)
  6. Hiura is stone cold. He lined one off the pitcher, knocked the catcher's mask off earlier, and now he IL-'d Bryce Harper.
  7. You, a fool: Unassisted double play that does not allow one to show off one's underhand lobbing ability to one's new manager Hiura, a legend: Drop the ball to start a double play
  8. You, a fool: Catch the ball Hiura, a legend: Drop the ball to start a double play
  9. So let's be real, it should be: vs. RHP 1B - Thames 2B - Hiura 3B - Moose vs. LHP 1B - Moose 2B - Hiura 3B - Perez
  10. [sarcasm]Ernie Banks demands 135 inning game.[/sarcasm]
  11. Albers pitching in this spot is pretty strong evidence that the bullpen is still in crisis, is it not? #KimbrelFever
  12. Well Baez does have severe platoon splits favoring LHP, I was just surprised to see Burnes there! CC's show of faith pays off.
  13. The starting rotation has settled down a bit. There's still nobody in the bullpen I trust in a close game other than Hader, and he can't do it all by himself.
  14. *Edit* Ok in the above post I clearly screwed up the order of the "last" Brewers pitcher to have a lower FIP, but the point remains!
  15. Brandon Woodruff: Secret Ace? Through 42.1 IP as a starter this season, Woodruff now has an 11.5 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, 2.87 FIP, 3.32 xFIP. His success has been somewhat obscured by an inflated ERA (4.25) that has also dragged down his IP/GS. But according to all advanced metrics he has been fantastic. The last Brewers pitcher to finish a season with 150+ IP and a lower FIP was Chris Bosio in 1987. Actually only three Brewers pitchers have ever had 150+ IP and a lower FIP (Bosio, 1988 Teddy Higuera, 2004 Ben Sheets). Woodruff so far is having a very similar season, including the unfairly elevated ERA, to 2011 Zack Greinke (3.83 ERA, 2.98 FIP). With there being an outside chance that Jimmy Nelson comes back strong, with Davies and Anderson pitching closer to their 2017 forms, and with Gio Gonzalez looking decent so far, I think there is room for optimism in the starting rotation all of a sudden!
  16. Well, welcome to the real world Dallas, where almost every job has become a "what have you done for me today" judgement on your value not your history. Workers are another commodity to be managed by companies and not a part of the company and now it's becoming part of Baseball. Too bad for the ballplayers, while they have made millions and will continue to make millions, a vast majority of working American's just move from job to job trying to pay bills and feed their families. Tough luck for Dallas...
  17. Was this supposed to be in blue or have you forgotten the Sunday lineups the Brewers regularly fielded across the last 20+ seasons?
