Yes, you are. Beyond the shadow of a doubt. -
No one is arguing that. His numbers are what they are. It's simply pointing out the volatility of late-inning relief pitching, and taking into consideration that, while Chafin hasn't been as effective as he was in prior seasons, he's still been pretty dang good.
-
Its one blow-up outing in 43 appearances. You're kinda making mountains out of molehills IMO.
-
Like I pointed out earlier, he gave up a 5-spot against the Cardinals last Monday. ERA was 2.9 prior to that game. The volitility of pitching in relief.
-
Chafin has been one of the top lefty non-closer relief pitchers in the majors for a long time. It's a pretty major upgrade.
-
Strzelecki has been decent. Scuffled some this year. But he's kind of a dime-a-dozen type hard throwing, volatile reliever. The Brewers literally gave one of those away yesterday in Jake Cousins. Overall hard to find a whole lot to argue about here IMO.
-
Apparently Peter Strezlecki is going back to Arizona. Odd trade.
-
Chafin had an ERA of 2.9 before getting tagged for 5 ERs against the Cardinals last Monday.

Appears done:

Exactly. The Mets were certainly "all in" this offseason. Now they're selling. It can theoretically somewhat improve your chances, but never in the history of baseball has acquiring big names guaranteed success.
-
On-field performance may be the only thing that is typical about Chafin. Personality-wise, he's quite the character. He's also been an excellent MLB reliever up until this season. I can't imagine the price would be huge. This team could use a little more personality IMO, and Chafin has a track record of success.
-
Even if the Brewers were willing to part with Quero in a deal (which I kind of doubt), it sure as heck wouldn't be for a rental reliever, even if he is Josh Hader.
-
Probably a mix of the Mets system being bad, along with some East Coast bias.
-
But you know what happens when your new girlfriend finds you stalking your ex's Instagram at 2 a.m. It's never, ever good.
-
Not really an exciting move, but Canha is a solid player who has a little pop, gets on base and isn't a windmill at the plate. Considering what they gave up to get him, it's ok. It very much screams old style waiver trade from a few years ago. But with no more waiver deals, these types of "roster-filler" type deals need to happen at the deadline, when fanbases are expecting a bigger name. I doubt we'll see another big deal for a bat. It wouldn't surprise me, though, to see a couple pen arms acquired today. That seems to be this team's annual deadline day tradition.
-
I do wonder what the cost would be on someone like Soto. Not sure how "simple" the situation would be, though. The scenario you suggest actually sounds quite complicated.

Keston Hiura has a .984 OPS in Nashville

Low average hitter who Ks excessively and can't hit lefties to save his life. Not really the solution this offense needs right now. -
How's it going so far? Having experience coaching girls softball at that age level a few years back (my oldest daughter is at 12U now), you really have to be those girls' biggest cheerleader. Celebrate every positive thing they do. I found coaching boys at that age is much different than coaching girls. Boys are typically a little further along athletically, but also extremely scatterbrained at that age. It can be next to impossible to get them to focus. The girls are usually further behind on fundamentals, but tend to pay attention and listen better. The girls also aim to please a bit more at that level. They are definitely apprehensive and usually pretty shy about making an aggressive play, or even aggressive movements out on the diamond, though. So when they do show proactive tendencies, really reward that behavior. Play it up like when just got a game-winning hit.
-
I've coached all different levels of your baseball for nine years, and you are 100% correct. Station work is the name of the game at that age level. Those kids need reps, and they don't get that with a glorified scrimmage every practice. We run two practices a week before we start our league season, and I always try to split them up into one practice that focuses on throwing and fielding work, and one that focuses exclusively on hitting. That way the practices don't become too repetitive.
-
Facing another middling lefty. Awesome! This team needs to do something to find better options against left-handed pitching.
-
But sure, that wishlist thing was completely made up by the media.
-
Kinda reminds me of Mike Daniels or perhaps pre-weight loss/position change Mike Neal. Both high motor guys with limited athleticism. Daniels certainly carved out a solid career as a undersized disruptor. Neal was also useful, moreso after the position change.
-
The 2022 Brewers went 86-76. If this version is most improved team in MLB, how many are they gonna win? 110? 120?
-
Claudio optioned. Miller added to roster
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
In 15 innings over six games, three of which were starts. Sample isn't real explanatory. -
Wiemer is starting to show more power. That is a very good sign. With Mitchell and Frelick both down, they probably have to stick with him and let him take his lumps and the ML level this season.
