No, but I can say that with pretty much everyone in the bullpen.
-
Way to go Yelich.
-
Burnes just isn't supposed to win games.
-
Thought the same thing.
-
At least Yelich made contact that time.
-
Hey a CS with Burnes pitching. Nice that he's paying some attention today.
-
When Burnes's spin rates on his cutter were nearly 2900 (through his 5/25 start), opponents hit .154 (14-91) on that pitch. Since that time, his average spin rate on the cutter is 2678 and they've hit .305 (25-82).
-
Maybe swing before the 5th pitch Robertson.
-
I'd suggest that he's basing those decisions that seem questionable to us on information/analysis that we don't have available to us, making it less questionable to him in the first place. That could be. I clearly believe he is the best manager we've ever had although that bar has been pretty low IMO. But I'll still say he has been kind of lucky at times with his decision making.
-
Sometimes I think Counsell has made a deal with the Devil. Even when he seems to make a highly questionable decision, he so often seems to get away with it. Maybe that's just my perception.
-
What are you griping about?
-
That was too much the pre-call up #2 version of Keston. Needed to crush that second strike.

Does a win against the Cubs in June really mean that much more than one against the Pirates, though? Perhaps to us fans as a rivalry game it does, but in the scheme of the final season standings, I don't know if it is a huge thing. I didn't see the decision to start Ashby today as a give-away to the Cubs. He's a legit MLB-caliber arm. Pretty obvious that he isn't ready yet based on today's results, but it isn't like the Brewers went into the game today with the predetermined decision to hand it to the Cubs. They obviously hoped their top pitching prospect would be good enough to make it through a couple innings. It didn't happen. That's baseball. Yes, it does. The Pirates have no chance of finishing ahead of us in the standings. The Cubs do. A Brewer win is a Brewer win regardless of who its against, but a Cub loss is considerably more valuable to us than a Pirate loss. I also agree that it does as it's not one game it's the equivalent of two games, up 6 versus 4. And I don't care that he has a MLB-caliber arm (I agree) but he was clearly not pitching well in the minors over the past three weeks with a WHIP over 2. There had to be a better option.
-
Whether Burnes could have or should have started almost doesn't matter. Why Ashby is the question. Was it the 21 baserunners allowed in his last 10.1 innings pitched enough to convince you now was the time? Pretty sure that would have told me not yet under any circumstances.
-
Starting Ashby was just plain stupid. An ERA of nearly 9 since being moved to the bullpen so he was pitching like garbage in the minors. A two game swing in the standings with a win versus a loss. Made absolutely no sense and cannot be justified whatsoever.
-
Making that Bettinger debut look better all the time.
-
I don't need to see Ashby again in 2021. That being said, seems like the team has revolted against the decision to skip Burnes.
-
He is not ready for the majors. He can't begin to think about hitting the corners. Basically has to try to throw everything down the middle because he has no idea where it's going.
-
I think my scouting report on Ashby is he has a live arm and his command is very poor.
-
Prospective trade deadline targets?
Simba2020 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Gallo is a gold glove RFer so he's a very solid defender with a cannon for an arm along with good speed. But he was horrible at 1B and 3B and is on record saying he never wants to play in the infield again. So while he might be a nice piece to add, it's not because he'd be a good corner IF option. -
Poor guy checking his glove after that performance.
-
Cubs pen still #1?
-
Love the usher smiling as the Cubs fans file past him.
-
Exit velocity hasn't exactly been the problem with Hiura as he's well inside the top quartile in that category. He just needs to make more consistent contact, which he has been doing since his latest recall. Today's numbers were huge though.
-
One reason I have no sympathy for hitters was shown in that AB by Tapia. Down 5, needing base runners, two strikes, the batter with the worst (negative) launch angle in the majors, and he swings so hard he could have actually hurt himself.
