    You're ignoring his OPS over .800, which Milwaukee could absolutely use right now. The Brewers literally have the worst OPS in baseball against LHP at .598.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    22 ABs.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Definitely. If he chooses to spend time with his family, more power to him.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Indeed you were!
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Sigh. I hope not but it’s certainly possible.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    That double play was… not awesome.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    All I know is that I feel prescient for writing this in January.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    And that’s fair, I’d just rather see them directly address the Voit problem first and Hiura doesn’t resolve that in any way.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm still in no rush to call up Hiura. If he's truly changing his approach, give him some time to stabilize himself. He's not a replacement for Voit, he's just not. I consider Voit not part of the conversation. He needs to be replaced, that much is sure, but Hiura doesn't fill his role as a lefty masher. The Brewers need to replace Voit but Hiura doesn't do that, he's just another guy who hits righties. Arnold needs to go find someone who can play a corner role and OPS .800 against LHP. And in a couple of weeks, I'll be ready to move on from Winker if he doesn't right the ship and Hiura does fill Winker's role if called up.

    I get your point and you're not wrong but it's hard to hope at this point.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Isn’t every game?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    This is all very possible. The Brewers showed a knack for developing out of nowhere arms for awhile but baseball moves quickly. If they can do it again, great, but I’m wary until I see it.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    And Ashby. The Brewers really need to hit on both to have a viable rotation in 2025.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Ultimately, I have a (sinking) feeling the Brewers revert to their natural organizational state by 2025: good hitting but lackluster pitching. I think their hitting prospects are well on their way to establishing themselves in the coming 12 months while I don't feel the same way about their pitching at all.

    If Ted Lasso isn't your thing and want something with incredible intensity, check out Black Bird. The acting is out of this world good and it's a limited series so you don't need to invest your life into it.

    Luis Arraez is a special case and should not be used as a benchmark for success in MLB and something to be emulated. You may as well try to conform every hitter into being Tony Gwynn. Arraez has not only good but elite bat-to-ball skills and strike zone judgment. When combined, those two things make him an elite batting average hitter. The average player is not capable of doing what Luis Arraez does on a daily basis.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    More than you expect, I think.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Ahhh, I forgot Shrinking! Yes, we watched that as well and it's also very good. Still have Tetris queued up to watch at some point, just haven't gotten to it yet.

    It's a Friday night baseball game on Apple TV+ again... *cue groans* If you really want to watch this game, I recommend giving Apple TV+ a whirl. It doesn't have a ton of content but pound for pound, it has the highest ratio of quality shows/movies of any platform out there. Ted Lasso is worth the price of admission by itself, as is Severance. Mythic Quest is good and Black Bird is amazing. And it's only $7/mo. Enough of a sales pitch to watch a baseball game. The Royals are a bad baseball team. Maybe they're not Oakland A's bad but they're really bad. The Brewers are treading water if they only take two of three from this team and success is defined by a sweep. Because after Kansas City, the Crew heads to St Louis...

    Yikes, I just checked FanGraphs and Brewers' DHes have the lowest SLG in baseball. The Reds are 29th. To add insult to injury, the Brewers aren't even close. They're .043 SLG behind 29th place on the list.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    For sure, he's obviously a flawed player and $2m is a risk. But it's the kind of risk bad teams should jump at the chance to take. Say Hiura posts an .800 OPS in the first half, just as he did last year with the Brewers. Maybe he's even a little bit better. That's an easy way to get a C level prospect for $1.5m. Baseball really needs to do something about these tanking teams that hoard cash above all else, even their own on-field improvement over the long term.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I think this is more of an indictment of cheap MLB teams than Keston Hiura. Sure, I get why a bunch of good teams didn't have space for a reverse-split, no-position player. But there was absolutely no excuse for teams like the A's, Reds, et al not to take a $2m flyer on Hiura in hopes of flipping him in July... except they value $2m more than actually improving their baseball team.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, it's certainly a better indicator given the small sample size of 2023 but it's an interesting thing to keep an eye on going forward. If he even closes that splits gap, he becomes quite a different hitter and immediately becomes more useful to the Milwaukee club.

    A summary of this game:

    I split this off into a separate thread because it's something worth keeping an eye on separately from the other Hiura thread.
