    I definitely thought Murphy should have been playing Ortiz with more regularity earlier than he did, but even then the Brewers have gone 12-5 in the 17 games Dunn has started at 3B. Maybe one or two more wins, sure, but several would be hard to pull off from a starting point of 12-5.

    After last night’s outburst, the Brewers are up to a 117 wRC+, which at the moment ties them with the 1978 squad for 2nd in franchise history behind only 1982 who came in at 120 wRC+. The best hitting Melvin teams came in between 107 to 109 wRC+. In addition to the hot hitting, Brewers are leading MLB in base running (+9.2 BsR), and their +12 OAA is third. Add it all up and their 13.4 WAR is just fractions behind LAD (13.7) and NYY (13.9) atop the MLB leaderboard. Pretty fun stuff.

    Yup. In Year of the Pitcher 1968 league average for position players was 245/309/354 This year it’s at 240/310/387 so pretty much dead on to 1968 but with a few more extra base hits.

    Anybody foresee “Entering June With A Six Game Division Lead And A Top Three Offense In Baseball” looking into their crystal ball two months ago?

    Arizona Crew wins 8-4 to pull within one game of .500 on the year. Enniel Cortez (4 IP | 2 ER | 4 H | 1 BB | 7 K) and Anfernny Reyes (3 IP | 2 UER | 2 H | 1 BB | 3 K) handled the pitching part. Fillio Di Turi was 1-4 with a two RBI double, Gery Holguin hit a pair of bombs and Ramon Moreno went 2-2 with a sac fly and stolen bag to account for most of the scoring.

    Sounds win 7-2 with Ashby going SEVEN SCORELESS with 2 H | 3 BB | 5 K. Tyler Black (2-5), Joey Wiemer (2-4, BB), Chris Roller (1-4, HR) and Francisco Mejia (2-4, HRx2) did the heavy lifting on offense.
  7. sveumrules
    Shuckers hang on for an 8-5 win. Darrien Miller (1-4, 2B, BB), Mike Boeve (2-3, SF), Carlos Rodriguez (3-4, 2B), and Noah Campbell (2-4, 2Bx2) had the big nights in the box.

    Logan Henderson’s final line came in at four scoreless with 3 H | 0 BB | 7 K. Dylan O’Rae singled, got beaned, stole a bag and scored two of the three Wisco runs in the 4-3 extra innings loss.

    In addition to the aforementioned stellar piggy backing by Rivero, Josh Knoth (5 IP | 2 ER | 5 H | 2 BB .| 5 K) picked up his first professional win. Yophery went 2-3 with a 2B and BB.

    With Rhys returning, there have essentially been three different Brewers offenses to this point of the season... 03/29 to 04/12 (everybody) 136 wRC+ | 6.33 Runs/Game 04/13 to 05/07 (no Yelich) 103 wRC+ | 4.22 Runs/Game 05/08 to 05/13 (everybody) 132 wRC+ | 6.00 Runs/Game 05/14 to 05/30 (no Hoskins) 107 wRC+ | 4.87 Runs/Game

    All getting swept in that series ultimately did was prevent the Brewers from winning the division by ten games.

    Old Hoss Radbourn scoffs at the puny weaklings passing themselves off as pitchers these days.
  13. sveumrules
    10-13 when Fedde or Crochet start (.435 W%) versus 5-29 (.147 W%) when anyone else starts.

    Everybody would love Luzardo, but I’m not sure I’d want to surrender the prospect capital it will likely take to win the bidding. If the Rays keep scuffling I could see us linking up with them for someone like Zack Littell who shouldn’t require quite as large of an outlay. Last two years as SP… Littell (25 GS | 133 IP) 95 K%+ | 32 BB%+ | 93 HR9+ 83 ERA- | 86 FIP- Luzardo (41 GS | 230 IP) 122 K%+ | 87 BB%+ | 93 HR9+ 87 ERA- | 85 FIP- Jesus has the obvious stuff and track record edge, but Littell has gotten similar results via elite command.

    These dominating KC Hunt multi inning outings have me hoping he’s on the Shane Smith slowly transition to starting path. Saw the Johan big game and OPS climbing, made me wonder what Jhonny Severino is up to. Also a small Complex League sample, but he’s off to quite the blazing start himself.

    Soto is an everyday player who had 2.5 years of control at the time of the trade, Hader is a one inning reliever who had 1.5 years of control at the time of the trade. There is a massive gap in value there. Players like Gore (who was a Top Ten prospect for years) or Wood (who was #9 on FanGraphs 2022 midseason update) were likely never on the table for Hader.

    Especially considering the outrage that came along with Derek Johnson leaving for Cincy. Just add him to the list of guys whose departure hasn't even come close to dooming the Brewers yet. Johnson, Stearns, Hader, Counsell, Burnes...

    There is no one proven way to add value, they all have their various risks and rewards. How did signing JBJ or McCutchen work out? Was Winker a proven MLB player?

    FanGraphs was at 55.7% for the Brewers versus 19.5% and 16.9% for the Cubs and Cardinals before the game today. BPro is coming around now too with 43.6% for the Brewers versus 27.6% and 24.3% for the Cubs and Cardinals.

    Backup catcher is pretty good.
  21. sveumrules
    …seven walks, two hit by pitch, two wild pitches. I’m not calling Abner up until he can exhibit some command in Nashville.
  22. sveumrules
    Really good breakdown of the approach changes behind William’s hot start over at FanGraphs today... ”It’s tempting to look at the great leap forward Contreras has taken in 2024 and start rationalizing. He’s not walking more or striking out less. He’s running a .385 BABIP. Surely, this is a hot streak that will even out. But I think that’s wrong. The surface stats are hiding a monumental change under the hood. He’s just gotten more skilled at identifying and attacking pitches. Maybe he won’t quite keep up his current pace, but this is what a great hitter looks like: elite bat speed, great ability to square the ball up, and an advanced ability to attack hittable pitches without over-swinging at bad ones.”

    Maybe they could have, maybe they couldn’t have, impossible to know for sure. What we do know for sure is that without trading Hader at the deadline and already having Ruiz in the fold we wouldn’t have been able to insert ourselves into the OAK/ATL deal to steal Contreras.

    Gasser had 115 K over 90 IP in the Midwest League when we acquired him. He may have been a “soft tosser” but he was striking guys out at the third highest rate in the league, just fractions behind Antoine Kelly.

    Its extremely rare for a kid from the DSL to be ready to go straight to the Carolina League from a competition standpoint and also way easier to help teenagers from a foreign country adjust culturally in the more controlled environs of the Complex. It’s not a coincidence that the only DSL players to skip the ACL were a few highly ranked position players, and the only pitchers to skip the ACL are guys who’ve lived in the states their whole lives.
