  1. His is perhaps the weirdest I ever saw, like he was attempting to get hit by lightning every time he stepped to the plate.
  2. I mean, you're not wrong but analytics determined that hitting the ball less often but harder results in more runs scored. It's a feature, not a bug. If a player routinely hits a ball at 104mph, they're going to take more bases over a season than a person who makes a ton of 90mph contact. But I think most of us can agree that as spectators, watching more contact is more fun. The toothpaste will never go back into the tube regarding analytics but the real problem over the past half-decade is MLB's refusal to address the least spectator-friendly aspects of the analytics game and suppress them in favor of fan enjoyment of the product.

  4. One thing I miss about old baseball is the wide variety of batting stances. From Julio Franco to Rod Carew to Kevin Youkilis, older generations had so many recognizable stances. I understand why that has changed - we simply know a lot more about the most effective way to hit a baseball hard now - but it takes a little bit of the charm out of the game.

  6. Ah, I see Woodruff is already slated to start tomorrow. Good good.

  8. It's good to see Brosseau back but frankly, I'm more interested in seeing starters return, as I'm quite over the Chi-Chi Gonzalez era of Brewers baseball, no insult intended to Chi-Chi. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice fellow.

  10. Good lord, I've never seen that much bright red on a Baseball Savant page before. That's insane.

  12. I'm kinda done watching one-run losses to the primary division rival.

  13. Good divisional breakdown. Maybe it’s just my imagination but fewer front office types seem to be as scared to swap in-division as older FO generations were.
  14. The retrospective of the 1989 Brewers continues as we take a look at the relievers that season, led by Mark Knudson and Chuck Crim (71 appearances, 117 innings pitched in relief... ah, old baseball). Then we flip into a perfectly-late-80s defensive montage with what I'm pretty sure is the music from a boss level of Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. The final segment is the 20th anniversary Brewers team, which highlighted many of the greats from those early 80s Crew teams.

  16. It's awesome to see all these things collated in the same place. I've read and looked into a lot of this stuff but mostly piecemeal.

  18. Teddy was my first favorite baseball player all those years ago before I moved to Minnesota.

  20. It’s always risky to make these kinds of lateral moves but it was a good bet to sacrifice prospects for money and contract length before you even get to the superior performance level of Renfroe this season.

  22. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this deeply personal take on Father’s Day. My own father is still around and in my life but I can hardly call him a role model. So while I don’t understand this, I totally get it.
