YelichPosse

Ok, Bush looked great last night. Let’s see if he still has that rhythm !

That is why the Yelich PH should have been for Miller not Wiemer. Shrug. Hopefully it doesn’t matter!

Turang is a fantastic baseball player. Yes he will struggle at the dish here and there but his D is so so good.

Great surprises here … my only question is what will the outfield be now …. Haha

BT!

Ugh

WWhy would you not pinch hit Miller instead of the guy with 2 hits today… and a MUCH better outfielder. Color me confused.

It’s been said, and I’m a believer In it that Charlie Greene is some sort of guru with these guys who are suspect defensively, come here, and are at least decent, if not noticeably good! Small market teams obviously have to do little things like that well (pitching lab, catching lab etc) to make up for not being able to get the most expensive or obvious toys. The Brewers have consistently done this really well.

Yes that’s not ‘a little cautious cause he’s sore’ … quite the opposite

HOT TAKE - Yelich will become near his MVP self again. This is the optimism thread right? :). This team is much more fun to watch than the last couple years, already, and we still have Frelick knocking on the door.... Urias to come back... and this #1 prospect in baseball fella waiting in the wings....

They won 10-2

Thank you! Yea those are some gaudy stats. You can't penalize him for "luck" when there's not much luck involved in an exit velo 0ver 105 mph lol. Also just noticed that he and Yelich lead the team with 1.0 in Win Probability Added. That's crazy to me.

What is his quality of contact % this year/ and recently ? Anyone have that metric? I would be interested to see how he compares to some of the others on the team. Seems even his singles are hit well. Maybe that's just the brewer goggles.

Yea. The roster makeup itself is flawed. (Likely why so many of us are pulling our hair out since the trade deadline). However, to your point... what was the possibility that Keston would do what he has done this year after the last 2 years? I figure that outcome to be about 20% likely at best if you took a straw poll. This adds to the push and I think well warranted for Frelick to come up after this arbitrary not eligible for ROY status thing passes this week.... plug him in CF, and let Keston spell Tellez now and then vs L and McCutchen vs R. Use McCutchen to give Yelich a day off more often, spell Renfroe, and come off the bench on days he doesn't start. That would give us an offense that has a chance to get another run or two a game. And at this point, that's the difference between being 3-7 in our last 10 and like 6-4 or so. My 2 cents.

One thing I’ve noticed, the K’s don’t bother me so much in todays game how it’s played. hardly anyone moves runners over, etc. and most guys K a lot. I rather have a guy like Keston who K’s a lot and when he makes contact hits piss rockets, than guys who K less and beats the ball into the ground , pop out swinging out of their shoes, or try and pull an outside pitch and meekly ground out. just seems silly in this offense the one guy who has shown the most gets the red headed stepchild treatment lol

This is a more levelheaded way of saying what I am feeling. Thank you. I'll put my pitchfork down for now.

I’m trying to remain patient and stay excited about the emerging talent we have in AAA (it is very exciting) - I just hope there’s not a spark brought up too late ya know?

Makes more sense - explained - but I selfishly still want to see Ruiz up and playing in center daily - see if he is a spark.

Ok… huh? only good thing is no more 3 catchers but besides that - huh? What are we doing ?

Well, they have to considering we are getting Soto AND Bell :). I would probably cry at what that would take... so I hope just Bell.

Idk about this trade one of these guys might win a triple crown one day ....

I wouldn't say that. A lot of people were hoping/expecting his HR total to bump up near 30. He had 18 last year and if they were all at MP he would have had 8 more plus a lot of wall scrappers. Not hard to imagine his HR total being what it is right now...I personally expected him to float around 30 HRs a year with us. That is where a huge majority of his stat bump comes from. What is a little surprising is the .320 average to really juice up his stats. Personally I was expecting about .300 as a safe bet. What is most surprising is he still got to these stats despite starting off a little blah with the bat. He had to really turn it on in the second half (insane) to do it. It makes you wonder how good he might be moving forward. If he could hit for more power to RF...whew. Not only was he sort of blah, remember he was hurt for a bit there too, and the adjustment period after that. That makes this year even more special, as not just the counting stats are there, but the eye test is there. I was thinking he would fit MP perfectly, and his numbers are reflecting as such. One of the most underrated parts of his game is how he runs the bases. The man glides. He gets the extra base. He's no "burner" like a Gomez or somebody known for speed, but, he is quite possibly (minus maybe arm strength) one of the best all around players we have seen in a long time. AND HE IS STILL GETTING BETTER! Ahhhh. This trade, went from I like it, to a slam dunk already for me. Provided he stays healthy... he has to project to some amazing years the next few......

I have loved this trade since day one. He , like any player will slump, but as we have seen - when get gets going - he really gets going. His low end production is higher than average... and his high end production is stupid. It's fun to watch a guy who seems to "get" hitting. Oh and we get to watch him for several years... In his prime.... Love it.
