Alright maybe Villar could use a few more starts at second -
Barnes optioned to AAA; Asher's contract purchased
SomewhereInTime replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Agreed, this is pretty shocking. -
It's on field performance. 635 OPS despite an unsustainable babip, and bad defense. He's not good. It's also his terrible approach at the plate and horrendous baserunning, he's a strikeout and groundball machine who rarely walks anymore. Kudos to Counsell for not putting up with it.
-
So if they still run that radio contest, someone is sweating bullets big time right now.

Brand New Ballgame!

Given Counsell's reaction, maybe he wanted the pitcher to bunt in an obvious bunting situation
-
You’re just kind of trolling at this point. I enjoy seeing a replacement for Villar come in and hit line drives. You should too.
-
Not a bad time through the order, I think the worst AB was Yelich hitting a grounder lol
-
We have a new starting second baseman!
-
People here don't really seem to care how well a ball is hit, just is it a hit or is it an out. I was told yesterday Logan had a bad outing by letting the groundball through the infield for a hit. Albers did a great job inducing the inning ending double play though.
-
This is one spectacular bullpen
-
He gave up a weakly hit ground ball.
-
Great to get some production from 2B!
-
I could not be more thrilled to see Villar out of the lineup. Hopefully it lasts forever.
-
Villar has been given more rope than anybody in the league. He was in the lead-off spot for most of 2017 even with bad numbers across the board. When Sogard heated up, they even found ways to even get his bat in the line-up in CF. He has been given many chances this year, as well. Whether in the field, on the bases, or at the plate..... he hasn't been the answer. Then again, there has been no answer in house, unless you count the .380 AAA 2B who apparently doesn't deserve a chance.... I agree and I do think they should give Orf a chance, people seem to forget that Villar had three partial seasons before he was a Brewer where he didn't really hit, and his approach is just so much different at the plate today than it was in 2016. I don't think Orf is going to be particularly good but its worth a shot to get some new guys up in Milwaukee.
-
My guess would be 16 strikeouts, 2 walks, and around 24 groundballs
-
He's a free swinging, strikeout and ground ball machine. He can be left in the doghouse forever.
-
This is the one I agree with. I would like to see them give Orf a shot, but I don't think this is much different. As long as it gets Villar out of the lineup, it's not a bad thing.
-
interesting
-
I would like to see what we have in Wren and Orf at least. I just don't think between Phillips, Sogard, Perez, Villar, Bandy, it'd be too difficult to find a couple of roster spots.
-
If BABIP doesn't mean crap in small sample numbers, then neither does batting average or OPS! Of course it's a small sample size, that's why he's still being given a shot. What do you think Travis Shaw's numbers look like over his last 40 or so ABs? I don't hear anyone clamoring for him to be removed from the lineup.
-
Yeah, that's just an attempt to justify unjustifiable Villar hate. Nothing more, nothing less. All I said is I'd rather start Sogard, they're both bad options. If it were up to me, Orf, Wren, and Nottingham would be on a plane to Milwaukee right now. Outside of 2016, Villar has been a terrible major leaguer, this season is no different. Do you honestly think a guy who hits ground balls 70% of the time can keep up a .397 BABIP? Even if he does, his numbers have still been bad so far. The patient approach, high obp Villar is long gone.
