  1. Right he's only had 2 opportunities this season in 11wins. You want him here.
  2. Was a HR to an elite hitter in game. A Curveball where he located it, he must think Noone swing at that so high before drops on top outside corner. But to a HR derby hitter that's served on a platter.
  3. Man 2-0 pitch I know the pitcher hasn't located great but I wish Yelich would be aggressive there vs taking a called 1st strike. Up 4. Swing for the fences. Pitch 4&5 were great inside pitches he missed his chance again this early season with bases loaded. Man that's his 7th PA with bases loaded I figured it was 5th. 1 single single 2 ks 3RBI.
  4. Kelenic had a good AB laying off 2 very good pitches then grounds out on ball 4 the worst pitch thrown that at bat. Hoby good location.
  5. After that RBI single the Mariners had thrown 97pitches. Contreras seen 20 of them.
  6. 1 more away from somebody winning on their bingo card. Lauer or Peralta.
  7. That's tough. But like I said yesterday. The overlays between a change up and fastball with where they end up is incredible. You're guessing. He guessed changeup. Because wouldn't that make sense on weak contact vs HR potential? Plus swinging lower.
  8. Man we got Cy Flexen today. 0 walks. Think it's only been...well as I'm writing he walks Contreras. 3 ball 3 PAs prior not a ball 4 pitch thrown after it always in zone. Yelich has had high exit velocity tonight. 113.5, 98.3, 103.6. If only he could find them at 9-11 degree launch angles.
  9. Never just because I want something to happen sooner. Oh and I was thinking this meant to the Jets. Which to me is likely. Too much Social pressure from all the Jet Fans to only give a 3rd rd choice and GB sticks with either both 2nds or the 1st. Just not willing to meet the price. Some other team will make an attempt next well after the draft.
  10. Lorenzo Cain defense and speed. Wall scrapers.
  11. Meh. 10 missed calls but the 2 most "impactful" were 2 balls called strikes to Machado leading off an inning nobody on. The falling 2 ABs were strikeout and ground ball to 3rd that would have been double play with Cruz running. We had 2 that other game with 2 outs called strikes to end the inning. I remember 1 had multiple runners on base. Maybe the other did too. As to this game. Looks like the team ought to put up some runs with their approach this season. Burnes can put together a Quality Start+ and take game 1 in series. Wiemer and Contreras are overdue for HRs. Let's see 1 or both get one today. If Tom Murphy is catching, he hasn't thrown out a runner in 5 attempts. We might see 4+ SBs today by Crew.
  12. Listening to game today and I overhear Contreras and 12 game hit streak. Hadnt realized he had this streak going. Then I wondered about Narvaez and what his highest hitting streak was with Milwaukee. Try 9 games! 11 games was Narvaez' longest on base streak! 15 games in to the Brewers season and William has tied Narvaez' longest on base streak with the 11 game hitting streak. We've yet to enjoy a HR from him which already exceeds his longest drought last season without one. 6 bb to 9 ks on season and 0 ks today vs Darvish. Really getting great abs from him. No matter what Ruiz does, this is a winning trade for the Brewers already.
  13. What a pitching game on both sides. So this game would still be playing if it weren't for the pitch clock violation. It's awesome that a bunt and SB with the balk and sac fly wins in todays game. When runs are going to be tough to come by. Speed overcame power and analytics.
  14. Awful news. I'll guess at best he returns last week of August or 1st week in September if at all. This style of injury to shoulders is filled with time table setbacks. Example-He starts up a throwing program and on 2nd or 3rd time the shoulder isn't right and sits for 2+ weeks before making the next 1st throwing program. Where you find out surgery needs to happen because the shoulder hasn't improved. This really adds to how the season plays out. I fear we're on a 2014 stretch. Early success but the bullpen can't maintain leads as they wear down. Worse yet they make a trade to pursue success for this season but then it doesn't pay off. This has got to be top 5 injuries derailing a team for this season and we're 2nd week in.
  15. That's how you have an easy night. 3IP save. 6 strong quality Start by Lauer. Tellez bombs, mote walks than Ks. Continue 4 games ahead of the Cards.
  16. Checking in late to GameDay. What a great start. Brewers need this ump traveling with them. Guy's at 6-0 in favor of Brewers. Let's see another 4-6 runs and make it an easy pitching night.
  17. The worst that could happen giving Rea the chance at a quality start is he gives up a HR. 3-2 then great start either way. Pet peeve to remove pitchers at 4.2, 5.2 without getting at least the 1st batter that gives them a chance to complete the inning.
  18. Rip the chance at a quality start. I hate the early pulls on accomplishments. 3-1 lead nobody on base and just need 1 out to get it. Let him face 1 more batter so he at least had a chance at the QS feat.
  19. Looks like Mitchell has been profiled as being beat with pitches that are low in the zone or below. He's having trouble not swinging at balls below zone striking out and ground ball heavy. Very Yelich like.
  20. Long season. Top half of the order got off to a slow start. And out mix of bats are heaviest in baseball I read somewhere. How many triples does the average team have? Feel like that would be a 1 below average. 2 above average. 3+ in top 8 of baseball. I'm going to guess there's at least 1 team without a triple. 5-1 at home vs 3-3 on road. So you're looking at less innings to bat than the opponents have had so far. Give it 50-60 games before comparing with rest of the league in that area of stats.
  21. Cruise over to Savant. Atlanta may been concerned with Contreras k rate. Or defense behind the plate. Pop times to 2b and 3b he ranked 31st and 21st. Murphy ranked 2nd and 1st. With the new larger bases they've got a tick better C to protect from thievery. Contreras sat at 14pct last season in caught stealing while Murphy was at 31pct. Murphy's batting lines showed improvement like a breakout. I think Atlanta may have just wanted to jump ahead on the breakout with top tier defense. Meanwhile that 14pct caught stealing was after a greater amount of runners caught stealing the season before 10 in 27 vs 6 in 36. It's not working out that way thus far this season, but it's 11games. What if it was just a move to block Murphy from going to the Mets? Or some team they didn't want Murphy on? They controlled who Contreras went to and made sure the Murphy sweepstakes was theirs. Either way Brewers were in desperate need of a Catcher while grooming Quero. 2 years of Contreras and moving on with potentially a sell high is as good as it can get. One of those gifts that keep on coming when it's a solid return.
  22. Rally time. Another 5 run inning let's see it here.
  23. We are certainly not the same with Winker out these last 3 games. More ks less putting the balls in play oppo field.
  24. And so it begins. Though Woodruff was supposed to start today and save the bullpen and instead was hurt. Going to be a rough week these next 7 days.
  25. Should have walked away with more than 3 runs. 1st 5 batters get on base scoring 3. Next 2 batters? 3 outs. Just ugh.
