Well I've been following this team since they switched leagues, there's never really been a closer that's lasted more than a couple years. One pitch guys get figured out after a year or two usually. -
I mean if we're to the point where we're pulling Hader, none of this really matters anyway.

I figure I can at least see when a guy will swing at balls and not throw him strikes. I also promise no strikes in a 0-2 count. That makes me better than at least 75% of our pitchers this year. I can promise to throw well below hitting speed, I've got a bad shoulder from too many years of playing football though so I don't really know if the ball will get to home plate. It can't really be worse than this though.

I pitched an inning and 2/3 once in little league, didn't quite make it out of the 6th inning before the winning run scored. I'd fit in with this blowpen. I pitched two 4 batters once. Walked two and then hit two, only one cried though. However this year I was coaching little league where we pitched if the player walked the opponent. There was this big fat kid who thought he was Babe Ruth. I noticed he tried to pull everything so I gave him my three best fastballs off the outside corner to strike him out. Kids and a grandma cheered me on. Bases loaded jam avoided. Excellent You'll be my "setup man".

Brand new ballgame!

Hands tied. They all stink, and nobody is reliable. The most reliable guy at present is Matt Albers. This pen is beyond the situational stuff. They're desperate for anyone to get outs in any inning. It doesn't matter who you pick because everybody has blown it at one time or another. Agreed, there really aren't many (or any?) safe options right now in the pen. This is the problem you will run into most years when you try to use your bullpen as much as we (and now a lot of teams in the league) are doing these days. Bullpen pitching is unnatural and difficult for many, so guys who are used heavily one year, often times struggle the next year. Guys in the pen often only throw 2 pitches and when they lose the command of one of them, they're toast. Basically, bullpen has a high level of variance, its why teams for the last century plus, have been trying to develop starters that cover a lot of innings. Last year's bullpen dominant Brewers were incredible, but also something you rarely see and not something that's likely to repeat. This year we have a mediocre/bad bullpen, so we need to adjust the rest of the way and let our starters go as deep as possible. Whatever happens, happens.

They may be one of the worst over the last 10 years with RISP. Even last year the Brewers weren't good. Oddly enough 2015 was the last time Milwaukee was above average with RISP.

Dubon to SF for Pomeranz and Black
SomewhereInTime replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
You must've been incredibly optimistic on Gallardo when he first broke into the big leagues if you think a knee injury his rookie year lead to a disappointing solid 9 years as a starter. -

Good. Shaw has had a tough enough year without idiots piling on unwarranted. That seems like an unthinkably terrible idea on Counsell's part. 1st and 3rd, I could see it. In the 8th, the bases are loaded, where is Shaw going to go? The other team is not stupid. So your plan is to try to draw a throw on a play that the other team knows the runner literally cannot advance because there is nowhere to go? I almost hope that Counsell is just making that up to cover for Shaw rather than him actually deciding that was a good idea. But did it work?

If you needed more proof that MLB pipeline's latest prospect list update may not be that accurate.

A very good point, and why I don't put much faith in these rankings especially given the success many of our guys are having in the minors.

2019 Minor League Transaction Thread
SomewhereInTime replied to And That's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
It seems when looking over the Gold roster it's mostly just DSL crap that'll be out of affiliated ball in a year or two. Less of a bias with the pitching but still plenty of guys who aren't exactly strike throwers. -
2019 Minor League Transaction Thread
SomewhereInTime replied to And That's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Its odd how the Brewers have managed the two Arizona rosters. It seems they are favoring the Gold roster. They have consistently kept the gold roster at around 36 players and the Blue roster around 30. The transfer of Yi is a good example. Why would they do this, when Colina is also placed on the DL, leaving them now down two pitchers? I'm sure there is enough players to go around still, but it just seems curious. That would be a little worrisome that the Gold roster would be the favorite given they are 8-23 -
Not that record matters a whole lot in the minors (though it's never bad to win games), but I find it interesting that the worst minor league system has great teams in AAA, AA, and A+ ball (and in the completely worthless DSL).

Not too many July regular season wins bigger than this one!

Brewer’s All Time Failed Expectations Team
SomewhereInTime replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd be curious of your expectations of Derrick Turnbow sine he was picked up off waivers. It's the expectations after his breakout season in 2005. It was disappointing to say the least to see him completely flame out a year later and arguably cost the Brewers a chance to win a very weak Central division in 2006. -
Brewer’s All Time Failed Expectations Team
SomewhereInTime replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I can't really speak for all time, but this is what I'd have over the last few decades Reliever: Turnbow SP: Jeff Suppan SP: Ben Hendrickson SP: Wily Peralta C: Chad Moeller (not that a ton was expected of him, he was just really terrible) 1B: Brad Nelson 2B: Ronnie Belliard SS: Royce Clayton 3B: Wes Helms OF: Jeffrey Hammonds OF: Tony Gwynn Jr OF: Kevin Mench -

100% agree, this is a good idea, but wow that first list is terrible. -

He was touching 98 with the fastball, got two strikeouts and a lot of weak contact. Other than being results oriented (both runs were unearned) How does it look like he was trying to pitch "threw" some nagging injury?
-
Honestly an argument can be made for the Brewers being the worst franchise in baseball in terms of results. The only team I consistently make the argument for being worse, is Seattle. I always look at it in two frames for a franchise, all-time, and recent (last decade or so) The Brewers do have two division titles and two post season series wins in the last decade with five winning seasons so far, a reasonable amount of success. For franchise history, I tend to agree with them being one of the worst, bottom five of current MLB franchises. However, baseball is not an even playing field like other pro sports. Market size is massively important and we're also one of if not the bottom in that.
-
I'll never understand the fascination with strikeouts and bunting. Would you rather see more pop ups and weak groundouts with less homers and less strikeouts? What's more exciting about that? Same goes for more bunting. Is there really anything better about those outcomes, or is it just that's the way things used to be decades ago and people don't like strategy change?
-
The game is "unrecognizable from 10 years ago" yet you want major rule changes because that would somehow not change the game more? One reason I like Major League Baseball is the relative lack of idiotic rule changes year after year that you get in other leagues (NFL and Nascar are great examples). Let strategy dictate the changes in a game, not a rules committee.
