He's comparing 2 days of Aguilar to Yelich's worst month of the season, part of which he was hurt. Of course it's not apples to lugnuts but it's a doctored comp. And in no way does that magically make Aguilar serviceable because his "serviceable" period happened over a month ago. For 2 days.

Sure when you include April 29 & 30 when Aguilar hit 3 HR in two days that'll boost the numbers nicely. Looking at his game log and the ocean of zeros in the HR column before and after those dates is very telling. If you just take his May numbers they're not nearly so good. .236/.380/.327/.707 Oh and Yelich didn't even play April 29 & 30. That's when he was hurt and missed 5 games. You're comparing apples to lugnuts.

I mailed my application & payment on June 3, just got my vehicle registration form in the mail on Friday showing my #1 choice as my new plate number. So figure about 3 weeks from when you mailed yours in to get your new form. Still waiting for the actual plates, I think it said 4 to 6 weeks so I may have another 3 weeks to wait for those. Can I ask what your #1 choice was? If you'd rather not share, that is fine too. I went with XXXXXX which is just a play on the word/number 42. My favorite number. I can also claim a Jackie Robinson baseball connection if I wanted to. Or Scott Karl Edit: Not really keen on having my plate number out there for the entire lifespan of the internet.

Food for thought: He has only 3 Ks in his last 24 PAs. Which is notably better than his 23.5% clip on the year. It is actually kind of shocking he improved both his K-Rate and BB-Rate compared to last year, but has been absolutely terrible despite that. Not sure he is heating up, but he has done better recently. The HR might buy him some more playing time to get one last chance. I would guess he is doomed if he can't show more promise in the next few weeks. They really haven't shown much confidence in him for over a month. I noticed that too. Aguilar is having by far his most successful month so far this season. But again, it's only good for a what, .724 OPS? Something around that and still only a ~.300 OBP. He's only getting part time ABs as a RH hitter, 10 to 12 ABs a week. A couple starts against lefties (less if they're going to play Grandal at 1B more often) and a handful of pinch hitting appearances a week, to me, doesn't feel like enough playing time to really make a dent in who he's been this season. Maybe I'm wrong but the roster crunch is real and I feel like his name is at the bottom. He might have until the all star break to make an impression. I wanted to be able to make an argument for him to keep his spot on the team but it's really difficult to see that happening unless he starts mashing in nearly every AB he gets this next week or so.

.250/.400/.817 since Shaw's return from the IL looks ok to me. Not that 6 or 7 games is a deciding factor either way but perhaps we could give him more time before casually tossing him aside.
-
Aguilar has been a part time player the last 4 weeks. 10 to 12 ABs a week isn't going to move the needle much unless he somehow gets white hot at the plate. Writing's on the wall.
-
The next 23 games before the all star break are against teams that are a combined 41 games below .500. Goal should be somewhere around a 16-7 result which would be 1 loss per series. Could do better but of course they could do worse. Nice opportunity to put a few games cushion between the Brewers and the Cubs in the standings. Cubs have a few more games against tougher competition, namely the Dodgers and Braves, but otherwise their schedule isn't real scary either. -
Aguilar finally catches a break on a well hit ball.

Miggy's not playing the field rest of the season, probably not much the rest of his career. DH only. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/tigers-miguel-cabrera-no-more-first-base-work-in-2019/ Manager Ron Gardenhire told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday that Cabrera won't play the field again in 2019. "Hopefully we'll get him through the year, and this winter, he'll do some rehab on it. But ultimately...this is how he's going to finish his career, with a lot of DH," Gardenhire said.
-
Stearns has his work cut out this trade deadline. Tigers are open for business...I go get Miggy. Solves the 1B issue Except he literally can't play the field because his knees are shot.

Make a commitment to get all the way through season 1 of GoT. Takes a bit to get all the families and characters straight. I watched my first episode about a month ago. It's EXACTLY how I thought it would be, and that's not a compliment. I kept watching til the middle of season 3 because I wanted more of the characters (except for the Stark kids) to die, but they never did. Soulless fantasy porn devoid of any redeeming qualities. The sheer hollowness of substance in GoT is rivaled only by outer space and the bookshelves of 20th century philosophers. I've met strains of streptococcus that have more heart than any character in that show. No heart... NO HEART? (Disclaimer: Do not click video if you don't like naughty words.)

But when is the last time you've seen MLB players not trying in an ASG? Pitchers are still trying to get guys out, guys are trying to make plays in the field on defense, batters are trying to hit. They're trying to win. I don't really see the conflict. Baseball has always been the best of the All Star games. I never thought home field advantage for the WS was ever big enough stakes anyway, if guys are considering playing at less than 100% effort to protect themselves from injury that "prize" isn't going to stop them.

2019 Standings and Playoff Races Discussion
SeaBass replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
True. I think the Braves and Phillies have favorable enough schedules, as do the Brewers and Cubs. NL West teams have a killer path, multiple games against the Dodgers juggernaut, beat up on each other, a dash of playing AL East teams in interleague and finally also facing the likely playoff contenders in the NL East and Central. Tough times. It can be done they're just playing on expert mode for a chance at a wild card because the Dodgers are looking like a lock for best record in the NL. -
Understandable, the world happens sometimes. Hopefully things can be resolved with your MIA web provider. I found myself wondering if there was a Twitter resource to check for status updates when technical stuff like this happens? Thanks for all you do, I've no doubt this is a pain in the keester you had no desire to deal with on a beautiful sunny Saturday in June. Go Crew!

Name the RH batter on the team who you think is better right now. It's more a statement of how bad the state of the team's RH batting is than a statement of how good Hiura is yet. I do believe he's going to be an elite bat but it's not a high bar to be the best RH in the Brewers organization right now. All the more reason why he should be in Milwaukee. I'm sorry, really. My reaction was more general than the issue you brought up. I usually am able to stop myself from posting stuff like this but this thread is challenging me. Hiura is one guy. I feel we need to get past this thought that the season will be crap without him. For however long they'll be without him because I think he will be called back. It's been 2 games since he was sent back down, and no single batter was going to change the results of those 2 games. Overall I still feel Hiura needs to do more to even surpass Braun as the best RH bat on the team. His time here has not been long enough yet to rank him. Is it reasonable to project him as being the most effective RH bat? Sure I'll concede that, but Cain (slumping I know), Grandal, Arcia have also had success batting from the right side. I also don't think Aguilar is this bad even if he had never broken out to the extent he did last season.

17 games. Best right handed bat. Future hall of famer. Messiah. The future is immeasurable.

I decided to take the plunge on Ball and Glove plates myself. After tossing around ideas in my head I'm not going with a baseball referrence, though it could be since it's a modified take on the number 42, which I could claim has a Jackie Robinson connection, but that's not really the inspiration for it. I'll share some of the ones I thought of but didn't go with. Last time I checked these they were all available but that was a while ago. I'm not sharing my 2nd choice in case something goes wrong with my 1st choice. CUHADR BNTDBL GR8GME H8R71 CYEL22 CRUWIN

My goodness Shaw and Arcia with 2 well hit balls and nothing. Not the Brewers night.
-
Well he should have struck out, but there he goes. Now let's get outs.
-
Ok, I'm rooting for Riddle to get a hit, he can't be the only one without tonight.
-
Have we reached the mercy rule score yet?
-
I think Hiura could pitch better than this.

Have you read any of the studies of mlb performance related to age? If yes, what is your interpretation? If no, try to educate yourself with a little reading. Most everything I've read on the subject points to ages 26-29 as a player's prime, but of course that is left to some interpretation. In any case, most times the drop off in production between 28 and 31 is not massive. I feel comfortable knowing that Shaw is Brewers property through his age 31 season, but I don't think I'd look to extend him past that. There is no reason why he wouldn't be able to put up an approximation of what we've seen out of him the last two seasons, though, for the next 2 1/2 years. I admire the heck out of this response. Further, even if studies and estimates and wagers and hypotheses are all taken into account it still goes by the wayside when it comes to the individual player. It's only a guide, it isn't gospel.
