Brewers sign Eric Thames (3 years)
pacopete4 replied to jerichoholicninja's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I want to know what Thames splits are with and without Braun batting behind him in the lineup. Anecdotally, seems like he's been much more productive with Braun behind him, but I have no data to prove it. I've always thought that having a big LH/RH combo is synergistic - the sum is worth more than the parts. USA TODAY ARTICLE[/quote Indeed, in the past week that Braun was kept out of the starting lineup with a strained forearm, Thames hit .150 (3-for-20) with one extra-base hit until going 3-for-5 Sunday with a double and a homer against the Pittsburgh Pirates. “When Braun is out of the lineup, you can see the difference,” Thames says. “It’s pretty obvious. Teams just don’t give me anything to hit.” -
You're kidding, right?
-
Yeah and you can take out the good and make someone worse than they appear. Using ERA for a relievers worth right now is kinda silly. He'll have plenty of time to lower it. And add to that save total.
-
Easy to see the messy results right now and make a move that doesn't help this team moving forward. If they move Feliz from the closers role then just cut him because you've lost any value in him. Knebel will have his day. Just doesn't have to be tomorrow.
-
In the four games where Feliz has taken the loss he is: 0-4 with 1 blow save, 9 earned runs allowed in 3.1 innings pitched, walking 2, striking out 3 and allowing 4 homers. In the other 13 games he has pitched: 0-0 with 8 saves, 2 earned runs in 12.1 innings pitched, walking 7, striking out 13 while allowing 0 homers. Stats say otherwise. Yeah, but those innings count. That's FOUR games where our top relief pitcher has taken a loss. You can't just look at when we're winning. He needs to get guys out. Tie games like today might as well be a save situation, where if he gives up the lead, it's likely a loss. You're saying we should overlook all these other games just because they weren't actual save situations? 9 walkes in 15.2 innings is pretty bad. 4 homeruns in the same 15 innings is TERRIBLE. For any relief pitcher. Nope. Not overlooking anything but also not overreacting to it either. He's been awesome (none of you want to admit that) for a good chunk of the season but also horrendous in four outings. No way am I saying he's the closer of the future but to overreact and take him out of that role right not does nothing but please the arm chair managers. His value to trade him later is getting that last out. He's done that 8 of 9 times. Continue to allow our pitching coaches to work with him and get him in a more consistent place.

You take Feliz out of the closers spot and you lose anything you'll get for him. He's a guy that has been good at getting the last out so far. Use him when we have a lead and build up his worth. Don't tear it down because he reminds us of Krod by the walks and homers. Someone will bite on him if he does well enough by mid July.

Moved this here since the other one will eventually go away.

In the other 13 games he has pitched: 0-0 with 8 saves, 2 earned runs in 12.1 innings pitched, walking 7, striking out 13 while allowing 0 homers.

Lol, oh my... We are some of the best at overreactions (and I'm including myself) but it is somewhat funny when you step back from it for a second.
-
8 of 9 in closing situations tells a different story. This is why we use more advanced methods of evaluation than wins, saves, or holds to determine if a pitcher is getting the job done. Feliz has been absolutely terrible. Yes, in none save situations he has been. Never disagreed with that. I'm also not going to write off the guy on 15 innings worth of pitching. If he continues to get three outs before another teams gets the game tied or takes the lead, he most likely won't be moving from the closers role.

I don't think Feliz is going anywhere in the closers role. He's been successful in doing that so far. The other situations he's been brought in though he has been putrid.
-
Well that stinks. This game could've and should've been won if we had our A-lineup in there. Hate giving away games.
-
Arica, come on man. Concentrate.
-
Well he's been great in the save situations and not so great in tied games so far this year so I feel as though the trend will continue OR he will buck that trend and get us to the 9th.
-
Dang. Opportunity missed right there. BTW, what is on the bill of Kimbrell's hat? Big spot on the top of the bill.
-
WOW!!!! WOW!!!
-
Knebel needs a strikeout badly here. Strikeout, double play ball and lets get to the bats.
-
Yet he's gone 6 complete with 1 unearned run. Funny how we pick apart some players. As for Villar, his base running bothered CC enough that he sat him out the next day. He got out a base loaded jam and then settled in. Very happy with that I will say. Timing of the post is everything. And Villar is crucified around here. Way more than he deserves.
-
I hope Thames and Braun can at least come off the bench in this one. We may not have much for runs today with this lineup.
-
Well that was a funny double play.
-
Wow, Jimmy was on the ropes there. Good to see him get out of it.
-
This game has getting out of control written all over it. We very well could be seeing the end of Jimmy Nelson as a starting pitcher for the Crew. (fingers crossed)
