    OMG Perkins. They need a new stat for him. Instead of OBP it should be SOBP, for Stay On Base Percentage. If you run into an out you don’t get credit for getting there in the first place.
  2. BruisedCrew
    A few raw numbers. The Brewers have had 639 PAs with RISP. That is 29th in MLB, ahead of only the Mets. The league median is 755 and the leader is the Reds at 850. That’s more than 200 extra opportunities. The Brewers BA with RISP is .246, which is 21st and just 9 points behind the league median of .255. While the Brewers are below average on both counts, I think the failure to generate opportunities is a bigger issue.
  3. BruisedCrew
    Along those lines, is it really a scoring opportunity when you have the bases loaded with one out when the next two hitters are a combined 6 for their last 70?
  4. BruisedCrew
    I think if you looked up the numbers, you’d find that the Brewers bigger problem is how few ABs they get with RISP, not necessarily what they do with them. Because they have so few opportunities the failures really stand out.

    Looks like tonight’s game could run into trouble if it doesn’t move along quickly.

    That series was a dogfight. The Reds kept falling behind by multiple runs and kept clawing back to win one and fall just short in the other two. They certainly didn’t look overmatched against the clear top team in the NL. Big 2 weeks ( with no off days) coming up for the Brewers before the All Star break.

    A nice series win. At some point the Brewers have to string a few of these together to keep pace.
  8. BruisedCrew
    That went to h**l in a hurry.
  9. BruisedCrew
    The two records are a fact. But IMHO it is very questionable that that is anything other than a coincidence, as opposed to there being any correlation. A lot of Brewer hitters who got off to good starts have struggled since that hot start. I seriously doubt that Mitchell’s injury has caused Tellez, Adames, et al to slump. Mitchell’s very high K rate does not look like the sign of a guy who’s going to carry the offense. In fact, some of the posters here who are generally beating the drum for the prospects were saying that Mitchell might be a candidate to be sent down.
  10. BruisedCrew
    Sure looked like it. Even accounting for the ball being hit in front of the plate and hooking.
  11. BruisedCrew
    I think being able to slide into a base in a way that allows the runner to hold the base is a skill. Oversliding like that suggests to me that he was a little out of control, not just a victim of bad luck.
  12. BruisedCrew
    Most likely neither.

    In some important ways it’s not even the same team the Brewers faced a few weeks ago. They have added Abbott (who, of course, shut down the Brewers) de la Cruz, and Votto, who may be well past his prime but can still add a veteran presence. I’m not saying that they will, or should, run away with the division. But I won’t be surprised if, after they come down from this torrid streak, they still have enough weapons to at least stay with the Brewers. They remind me in a general way of teams like the Cubs and Royals in the 2014-15 period when they made a dramatic jump from doormat to winning team. Or like the Brewers in 2007 and 2017.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Rookies, unproven players, and players well past their prime. Who does that remind you of? Maybe BA isn’t a good measure of offense in 2023, but runs scored should be and the Brewers are among the worst in MLB, and the very worst over the last 54 games. Maybe the Reds will collapse, but it isn’t going to take much to win this division, and they have a significant number of weapons.
  15. BruisedCrew
    You have a different definition of “inconsistent” than I do when it comes to the Brewers offense. In my book an offense that has scored the fewest runs in MLB over the last 54 games (a quarter of a season) is bad, not inconsistent. “Inconsistent” is a word that homer announcers often use to describe their teams.
  16. BruisedCrew
    And about the Brewers when they started 15-6.
  17. BruisedCrew
    Hopefully this is the start of something good from Adames and not just one hot game.
  18. BruisedCrew
    When we expected a team to go on a long winning streak to take control of the division we thought of the wrong team in red.
  19. BruisedCrew
    De La Cruz completes his cycle and the Reds lead 11-7. Good thing they aren’t to be taken seriously as contenders.
  20. BruisedCrew
    Wiemer was lucky he was safe at third because Urias was hobbling toward the plate.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Two HBP, a de la Cruz single (now just needs a triple for the cycle) and Votto’s second HR and it’s 9-7 Reds.
  22. BruisedCrew
    Finally, a big hit from Willie. Now the pitchers have a rare cushion.
  23. BruisedCrew
    Olson HR puts Braves back on top 7-5.
  24. BruisedCrew
    Brewers are getting to Bieber. No Ks that inning.
  25. BruisedCrew
    Reds tie it on a Votto HR. How come it doesn’t take everyone a minor league rehab and then a few weeks in MLB before becoming productive?
