    Strahm did get that pitch down a bit, not quite enough apparently. Really nice piece of hitting by Braun.
  2. KeithStone53151
    Sample size is too small to draw those conclusions Disagree completely. Look at his atbats, he doesn't look good at the plate and he's not producing. He's swinging at bad pitches. If we had other guys hitting, I would definitely argue with Cain needing to be moved down. As is, we have 3 guys hitting on this team and they should be in the 2-5 range every night. So right now there's no better option.
  3. KeithStone53151
    Hahaha they actually called him out. I thought for sure they would give him 3rd base because the umpires weren't clear.
  4. KeithStone53151
    What the hank is happening this game? I wonder how the umpires are going to rule this one.
  5. KeithStone53151
    Ay ay ay, I had to start Braun on my fantasy team today. My outfield is trash and I have a few guys that were inexplicably benched today. Excellent start to the day for me on both fronts.
  6. KeithStone53151
    Many feel the same as you. My opinion, I would never have brought him back so quickly. I would have kept him in the minors for more like a month to hopefully get right. But now that we have, I think we give him a bit more time before we go the option route.
  7. KeithStone53151
    You maybe should take a look at Pina's atbats since he's come off the DL...
  8. KeithStone53151
    No surprised in the lineup with Moose out. Cain Yelich Braun Grandal Perez Pina Shaw Arcia
  9. KeithStone53151
    No way can Davies hit a ball that far, probably not even with a metal bat.
  10. KeithStone53151
    Thanks for finding this. It proves my point to a large degree. Yes, the team as a whole did ok against lefties(793 OPS including yesterdays dud), but all the damage was done by Yelich/Moose/Grandal for the most part. Aguilar has been solid and Pina's 7 atbats have been very good, but it's mostly the other 3 guys that are simply hot at the plate against all pitching. Cain, Braun, Arcia, Perez...those are guys that should be hitting LHP and have been terrible. It's a bit of a problem when we basically have 3 guys hitting. Hiura would be a 4th if he were up.
  11. KeithStone53151
    I'll try a lineup, like I always do. Cain Yelich Braun Moose Grandal WoodruffAguilar Perez Arcia AguilarWoodruff I could also see them catching Pina today with Grandal at 1b, but I figure they'll probably do that tomorrow against Strahm.
  12. KeithStone53151
    As much as I ragged on Peralta, he is still young and should still improve. His control is definitely much better. I tend to agree he might be a better fit for a relief role though. We'll see though, he's still young.
  13. KeithStone53151
    I would be shocked if Davies has an innings limit. Woodruff might have a goal or soft limit of around 190-200 innings...but if he's needed he'll pitch. He's 26 and a big dude, less need for an innings limit or any other concern than a younger guy like Peralta who's a little dude and 22.

    I tried earlier to find a way to filter Brewers players stats in June against LHP. I can filter one or the other, but not both. I'm very curious how we've handled LHP since Hiura was sent down. I'm thinking very poorly based on what I've seen. And most damage against LHP this month has probably come from Moose or Yelich...or Pina who in limited at bats apparently only hits bombs lately(definitely an argument to be made to start Pina vs some LHP and Grandal at 1b). Shaw is still missing way too many hittable pitches, but he's been serviceable since his return. 231/375/385...that's not what you hope for(or what Hiura likely provides) but it's certainly not severely hurting the team.
  15. KeithStone53151
    It's hard to say our offense is scuffling too much. In June we are 8th in OPS with a .302 BABIP...so luck has probably been roughly average. We've scored about 5 runs per game in June, that should win us a lot of games. The problem is pitching, specifically starting pitching. The Brewers starters have a 5.86 ERA in June, with a 4.37 FIP and 3.96 xFIP and .345 BABIP. You can definitely argue the starters have been unlucky this month, but still overall not great. Also 70 innings in 14 starts or exactly 5 innings per start. Certainly not great. Overall, I think the Brewers struggling a bit lately is more related to luck going a bit against them after luck has generally been on their side the first couple months based on production. As much as Hiura is the better option, it's hard to blame Shaw specifically for our 8-6 start to the month of June.

    I think that does happen in some cases, but it differs by team/coach. During the season, starting pitchers are pretty regularly on a once a week schedule. Not to say it will be exactly the same this year, but last year Mississippi State played in the College World Series as well. They ultimately played 4 games in 8 days (Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday). Looking at their starting pitchers at the CWS, Ethan Small pitched the first and the fourth games (so both Saturdays). They won their first two games, but had they been in the losers bracket Ethan may have pitched on slightly fewer days rest. I didn't watch, but I see Small through 102 pitches in a winning effort. Not the greatest line. Miss St plays tonight, have to assume zero chance he would pitch today. Next game then would either be Thursday if they lose or Friday if they win. I would think he would pitch the next game regardless of win or loss today.

    I don't think your proposal was bad simply from a value standpoint. I personally question whether the Indians will sell at all. If they do, LH infielder isn't what they are looking for considering their current roster. They'd probably want outfield help, preferably RH...at least that's what I would want if I was them.
  18. KeithStone53151
    Right, the changeup is pretty much going to make or break Peralta's career. We've seen 1.5 pitches doesn't cut it at this level by his results. I also think this relief ace stuff is wildly overblown. I was watching the game yesterday, it seemed like everything was smashed...but right at players. He basically got lucky yesterday. He's definitely been good other times, but he's nowhere near Hader right now. When Hader came up, he immediately started striking out the world and nobody could hit him...comparing Peralta to Hader is simply not fair right now.
  19. KeithStone53151
    Don't worry, I'm starting Lucchesi in my fantasy league tonight. Therefore, he's guaranteed to get shelled.
  20. KeithStone53151
    Finally! The Cubs have an injury to starting pitching. Hendricks hit the DL a couple days ago with shoulder inflammation. Will be fun to see how they try to fill that void.
  21. KeithStone53151
    I've seen a lot of mentions of Indians relievers and starters, are we sure the Indians are going to sell? I know the Twins are having a big first half...but no guarantee that offense keeps producing at such a level. Plus, the Indians are heavily in win mode...they are pretty much 1-2 years away from a complete tear down. Probably makes more sense to go big now. I also think I'd aim a bit higher than Diekman. I don't think I want to risk control issues in late season baseball.
  22. KeithStone53151
    Food for thought: He has only 3 Ks in his last 24 PAs. Which is notably better than his 23.5% clip on the year. It is actually kind of shocking he improved both his K-Rate and BB-Rate compared to last year, but has been absolutely terrible despite that. Not sure he is heating up, but he has done better recently. The HR might buy him some more playing time to get one last chance. I would guess he is doomed if he can't show more promise in the next few weeks. They really haven't shown much confidence in him for over a month. Aguilar is in a bench/PH role, so one big hit is going to severely skew his recent stat line. He looks a bit better, but I'm very skeptical of him being the answer in the postseason against LHP.
  23. KeithStone53151
    Wow, I just looked at his recent AAA number. He looks to have found something, he's been nothing short of dominant lately. I wonder how good the return will be for him.
  24. KeithStone53151
    I know we have Hader and Claudio, but Hader is closer/multi-inning guy/you don't play matchups with him. Claudio could be a matchup guy, but I feel like we should have a 3rd lefty in the pen for the stretch run and potentially playoffs. Will Smith and Tony Watson are 2 obvious guys that we should be looking at, any other suggestions? Also any thoughts on cost for your potential suggestions? I'm imagining a bullpen with Hader, Jeffress, Shane Greene(or other righty), Will Smith(or other lefty), Houser, Claudio at the back end with Guerra in long relief. We'd probably have a very long list of starters/relievers that could get the last 1-2 spots, I imagine we roll with whoever is throwing well at the time. This pen would be incredible as is, and could still be very good depending who we add in those 2 spots...but I think we want 2 pen arms.

    I just watched some highlights and some of these "celebrations" for the first time right now(link above didn't work for me, but I found a different one). Anyone complaining about them can go pound sand. The celebrations are super tame, I was expecting to see so much worse based on the complaints. I hope the women don't let this affect their mentality heading into future games, in fact I hope they celebrate every goal with much more gusto going forward. Scoring in soccer is not easy.
