I must admit, some perverse side of me wanted to see the Reds tie it so Yelich could get one more AB. -
We made the Votto-less Reds look like the '27 Yankees. 14 hits, 8 walks and 9 runs last night. 14 hits, 6 walks and 11 runs tonight. Thank God we split the two games.

Get Peraza out, no matter what. If Bad Motor Scooter comes up with a runner on, I might have a coronary.
-
Ok, point taken. I was trying to gauge how he's performed in (what was) our current situation, but you're right, you can't exclude other situational data.
-
They're not my only assessment tool. Clutch hitting starts with hitting safely in high pressure situations. You can look beyond that one metric all you want. In situations where his team was behind, Shaw failed to hit safely in 8 out of 10 at bats. That's terrible.
-
Rennie Stennett is the only one I'm aware of doing it, at least in the modern era. Who would the other two be? Brandon Crawford (2016) and Wilbert Robinson (1892) You're right about Crawford. Forgot about him. That was in 14 innings, but 7 for 8 is impressive. Wilbert Robinson was a little before my time.

1 season clutch stats are worthless because the sample is too small. For his career Shaw has a 134 tOPS+ in high leverage situations. He has been about as clutch as a player can be. Even that is only 387 PA though so might not be meaningful, but his actual stats in those situations do not support not being clutch. They're hardly worthless. Let me reshape the comment. Travis Shaw has not been clutch in 2018. Better? He's had 75 PA's when his team was in a late & close situation, and has hit .216. He's had 172 PAs when his team has been behind, and has hit .203. I don't care what he did two years ago when he was playing in a different city. Two years ago, Ryan Braun hit .300 + with 30 HR. Is that who he is now? No, of course not. Shaw, in 2018, has regressed. When we've needed him to step up, statistical analysis says he's failed to do so this season.

His clutch stats say otherwise. In 2018, per baseball-reference.com's "clutch stats", Travis Shaw is hitting .216 when the Brewers are behind. In "late and close" situations, he's hitting .203. Since it's late and close, and we're behind, both metrics apply, and I wouldn't say either of those would support your assessment that he's "clutch".

Yelich goes 6 for 6, hits for the cycle, and sends the game winning home run over the fence in the top of the ninth. Calling it now.
-
Come see what's brewing. Your Milwaukee Brewers!!
-
First and second, one out, Scooter at the plate. Oh please God, not again.
-
29 hits and 18 runs the last two nights. The offense is en fuego.
-
With tonight, Christian Yelich, in 36 games since the All Star Break, is hitting .368 (57 for 155) with 33 runs scored, 12 doubles, 3 triples, 15 home runs, 32 RBI, 10 walks, and is slashing .406 OBP/.774 SLG/1.180 OPS. That's nuts.
-
Holy freaking cow, Yelich is amazing.

If it had stayed Brewers down six, I'd agree with you. But they didn't. The Brewers were down 6-7. The offense fought back, and got to within one. CC then blew it. He put in a guy that had no business pitching in a high leverage situation. Albers had given up 18 runs in his last 3 2/3 innings pitched. That's a 44.18 ERA over his last seven appearances. What in Sam hell was Counsell doing putting him in there? No, you can't put Hader and JJ out there every night. But the team had just had a day off. You have approximately thirty games left, and you can't worry about next week if you're going to hand away games against opponents that are 19 games below .500. If there's a chance to earn a win tonight, you get it. Time is running out, and the Reds have a horrible staff. Lock their lineup down, and give our offense, which just scored a bunch of runs, a chance to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat.
-
14 hits and 8 walks surrendered to a Reds team missing Joey Votto. That's obscene.
-
It is frustrating, and I don't get it. But you can't pitch Jeffress and Hader in every game. If Soria (a top reliever) doesn't give up a two-run triple, it is tied. The pen coming back down to earth has made this team into a .500 squad. Soria shouldn't have given up the triple, but my contention is that a guy with a near 7 ERA shouldn't have started the inning. Albers shouldn't have taken the mound. Nobody is off limits. We have 30 games left, and we can't afford to blow golden opportunities to win games against scrub teams like the Reds. We were down 6-1 thanks to a pathetic starting performance, and we battled back to 6-7. At that point, after a day off, anybody we need to shut down the Reds offense is in play. Do that, and when we score in the ninth, then a win is possible after it looked like a sure loss. Counsell has gone on record starting what his bullpen management philosophy is. It's flat out wrong. It's maddening. Our offense got us back in the game, and then Counsell just squandered their efforts with his ridiculous way of thinking. He's pissed away too many games this year with his beyond questionable thinking. I want him gone. Watch, we'll miss the playoffs by a game. Tonight's win could very well end up being the difference between bonus baseball in October, and watching from the couch, talking about next year.
-
And of course, there's the seventh run. If Counsell's bullpen management doesn't suck, we're all tied up right now. Instead, can't use any of our top guys unless we're tied or ahead.
-
Can we DFA our manager? Doable?
-
How many do the Reds score this time?
-
Ok, Kratz, Arcia and Lyles. Should go well, right?
-
Just....somebody shoot me....please....
-
Is Lyle going to issue a walk on four straight pitches with the bases loaded?
