Milwaukee is 33-22 against teams over .500. That is .600 winning percentage.
Milwaukee is 32-22 against teams with losing records.
Brewers technically perform better against good teams. By 0.5 game
Durbin OBP: .344
Eugenio Suarez: .319
Durbin has 9th best OBP of any 3B with 250 AB or more this season.
Durbin has 9.5% K rate, which is astonishing to me. Best of any 3B in MLB (minimum 250 AB).
It’s very clear Murphy is saving his pen for the weekend. McGee just needed to allow fewer than 12 runs in the ninth. Doubt we see McGee again this month.
Brightside: if Mark A is comfortable raising payroll in 2025 for inactive players, he could be comfortable raising payroll in 2026 for active players 🙂
Gallagher was 6th round pick last year. 1.59 ERA after two starts in AA. 22 years old
Armstrong 13th round pick in 2023. 4.62 ERA in AA. 24 years old
Gallagher seems useful. Armstrong 🤷♂️
I’m not sure Kittredge or Soroka strike fear in many people. Taylor Rogers FIP and WHIP are underwhelming. You stack them on top of Willi Castro and you maybe got one win improvement.
Some of it does seem like an impulse buy at the checkout counter when the store is about to close in 40 seconds, you just throw something into your cart 🙂
If Ortiz’s presumed negative WAR is replaced with someone above replacement level? 🤷♂️
I agree with your points. Sure would be nice to win the division by one game.
2-3 wins in the regular season, I’d imagine.
Kwan, Chourio, Frelick in the OF
Collins to 2B, Turang to SS
Less likely to lose 2-1 or 1-0 in the postseason. Plus, majority of our lineup would be 5’8” 🤷♂️
Kwan could be nice. I genuinely think we have enough starting and relief pitching.
Maybe one more high leverage arm so we don’t need to pitch Uribe and Megill 4-5 day’s per week. I’d prefer to not give up six years of a decent prospect for 25 IP of a rental.
I realize we eventually need to cash in some prospects, someday.
