    You’ve got a long wait. Might as well get used to it.

    Urias is maddeningly slow.
  3. BruisedCrew
    The Braves tonight have 5 HRs and a triple from their first 10 hitters.

    “A little bit of a rally killer”. Ya think?
  5. BruisedCrew
    Is there a rain delay? I turned on the game and they were showing a replay of last night’s first inning.

    Peterson is one of the few LHP starters that the Brewers have roughed up this year. They got him for 5 runs in 4 IP in that opening series at AFF.

    I’m not aware of a chart that presents this for all teams in one chart. But they do have a chart for each team individually that shows how many times they have scored anything in each inning and then how many times they have scored a certain number of runs. For the Brewers, they have scored something in 167 of 682 innings or 24.4%. For comparison, the Reds have scored in 222 of 694 innings, or 32%. If you had the patience you could do this for each team. All of the teams in MLB combined have scored in 5803 of 20,761 innings or 28%.

    These things are very easy to find on the Baseball Reference site as long as you know where to look. They have tables showing how many times a team has scored or allowed a certain number of runs, and what their record is in those games.

    That mantra has been around for longer than 45 years, but once Bill James and the sabermateicians came along it has been debunked. But that doesn’t stop some from saying it. The high level refutation is that the playoffs usually feature better pitchers on a regular basis than during the regular season, so scoring is lower. But having better hitting gives teams a better chance to put up a few runs against that superior pitching. When anyone has tried to establish whether pitching or hitting wins championships, they usually conclude that it’s inconclusive either way. If this Brewers team as currently constructed were to make the playoffs, the most likely result would be something similar to 2020 and 2021.

    Quick work by Williams.

    Adames is coming around. In his last 4 games he’s 4 for 17 with 2 HR and 5 RBI.
  12. BruisedCrew
    They did put him up in the order for a few days when he had the hot streak and he struggled there. I don’t think you want to put him in a spot where he feels even more pressure to produce.
  13. BruisedCrew
    Thank goodness Alonso didn’t get any elevation on that one.
  14. BruisedCrew
    Apparently the key is keeping runners out of scoring position.
  15. BruisedCrew
    Really hard to score runs when your 3 through 6 hitters are in in huge slumps.
  16. BruisedCrew
    Tough inning for Contreras. Fortunate strike 3 call to mercifully end that ugly inning.
  17. BruisedCrew
    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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. BruisedCrew
    Looks like tonight’s game could run into trouble if it doesn’t move along quickly.
  22. BruisedCrew
    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.
  23. BruisedCrew
    A nice series win. At some point the Brewers have to string a few of these together to keep pace.
  24. BruisedCrew
    That went to h**l in a hurry.
  25. 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.
