    Agreed on both counts. There are some very bad announcers around the league, but I don't think Grindle or Levering are among them. My only issue with the two of them is that I have a hard time distinguishing which is which when they're on the same broadcast.

    Gabriel Garcia with a game-tying grand slam with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the top of the 9th for the TRats, his first HR of the year.

    Ernesto’s likely suspended, though nothing has been announced. He and the opposing pitcher were tossed after fighting last week (bean ball immediately following a Joe Gray Jr. homer). Oh yes, that's right. Completely forgot about that!

    No Ernesto Martinez again, hopefully he’s ok?
  5. brooks_quichenick
    Right, and to be clear, I have not called for Hiura to be cut, traded, or any of that (Full disclosure: In a weak moment, I MAY have told him to go away once in a game thread, can't remember). Sending him down to fix whatever is broken is what I wanted. I just don't know how the progress of other teams' draft choices matters for what we are seeing from Hiura. It's okay to be a phenom. How is it NOT relevant to the discussion? It's good to have that perspective and comparison to his peers who have yet to even sniff the big leagues, tasting success and/or failure.

    Loser franchise

    Worst possible opening quarter. This Bucks team looks helplessly lost out there.

    Bottom of the 3rd in Zebulon: Joe Gray Jr. homers, then Ernesto Martinez gets plunked on the leg with the 1st pitch of the next AB. Pitcher stares him down and starts jawing at him, Ernesto charges the mound, benches clear and fists start flying. Ernesto and the Down East starting pitcher both got tossed.

    As someone who’s also lived in Chicago most of my life, I can say you are extremely wrong here. Obviously the Cards are public enemy #1 for Cubs fans, but they absolutely do care about what the Brewers are doing, regardless of what Cole Hamels has to say. Nope. Cubs-Cardinals is biggest rivalry by far, with the Mets a distant 2. Hell, the Brewers aren’t even marquee priced tickets unless it’s a summer weekend game. Just because it’s cheaper and more time efficient for North Suburbanites to drive up to Milwaukee to see the Cubs play than driving into the city doesn’t make it a rivalry. You’re waaaaaay off the mark here.

    I could see Jake Cousins making a big league appearance this season if he continues pitching well.

    I really like Urias leading off, he generally has a good eye. Make me look smart tonight, Luis.

    Yea I haven't seen anything from Peralta, but seem to remember a poster claiming that in another thread earlier this season (maybe it was MrTPlush also?). Saw this video of Yu Darvish rubbing the inside of his glove yesterday:

    Yea that was pretty sweet. A good look

    You were saying?

    Craig just loves him some Vogey in the 2 spot.

    But it’s not. Burnes had 50 or so bad Innings in his career (200 IP). Hiura has been awful most of his at bats and hasn’t been consistently productive for nearly two years Corbin Burnes threw 38 good innings in 2018 before those 50 or so bad innings in 2019. The rest of those (200 IP) have been after he took a long look at his game and made major adjustments, which is what Keston needs to do. Keston Hiura had early success in limited action (2019), much like Corbin. And just like Corbin, he's struggled mightily after that early success. Many young players go through this, just normally not to the extremes that Corbin or Keston have. If you combine Keston's MLB numbers from 2019-2020, it still doesn't even reach a full season - it's just 143 games - and the numbers overall are very good for a 22-23 year old: 143 G 531 AB 27 doubles 2 triples 32 HR 81 RBI 12 SB .266/.338/.505 118 OPS+ Yes he's going through a brutal stretch right now, but it's undeniable that Keston's situation is extremely similar to what Corbin went through recently. He's 24 years old and has had real big league success. He needs to go to AAA for a good while and figure it out. Declaring him a bust now is just not very smart, and is exactly like anyone who gave up on Corbin after his 2019.

    Garrett Mitchell just crushed his 1st pro HR, a 1st inning 3-run blast over the high wall in CF!
  19. brooks_quichenick
    Off base? How so? .303/.368/.570 with 19 homers, a 140 wRC+ and 2.2 fWAR in 2019. He obviously needs to make a serious mechanical adjustment, but he's had big league success very recently, so determining that he is already a bust doesn't make sense. It's like calling Corbin Burnes a bust after his dreadful 2019. He made some big adjustments and something clicked, now he's one of the best pitchers in the league. Keston deserves the same opportunity.

    Watching LAD-STL, and Phil Bickford just looked extremely sharp in a scoreless, hitless frame out of the Dodgers pen: 11 pitches, 9 strikes, 2 punch outs. He's off to a great start with LA after a brief stint in AAA. With the rough shape the Brewers bullpen is presently in, the DFA of Bickford seems like one of the more short-sighted moves of the year so far.

    Nice to get one back right away at least. Good stuff Tyrone
  22. brooks_quichenick
    Brutal
  23. brooks_quichenick
    That's an embarrassing effort on a routine throw with 38 year old Miguel Cabrera lumbering down the 1st base line. Yeesh

    Zero trust in Urias making a throw right now
