  1. That would be an option. Lindblom would be be on 4 days rest.
  2. Talk about Reverse Splits, Cain is hitting 0.031 vs LHP this season.
  3. Is my memory off? I thought MLB went to 7 inning games for double-headers. Was that only for one season?
  4. I hope that's true, but there hasn't been any evidence that CC is leaning that way.
  5. I apologize for suggesting you look at the stats. Because you looked at the wrong ones. Below is an earlier quote from you (sorry, I haven't figured out how to multi-quote). Clearly you are talking about last year. Last year he had a wRC+ of 119 (and has been above 100 over the last 4 years). He didn't have a great average (.248) or OBP (.311), but the dude hit 27 HRs. He had value on offense. He mostly batted 5th and 6th for the Braves--obviously the Braves thought he had value on offense. Clearly you didn't want to compare Swanson when he was 23 (5 years ago), sucked at hitting, and the Braves were a third place team to Cain when he's 35, has been on a decline, and the brewers have a legitimate chance for the W.S. Right? You realize those aren't comparable situations, right? In one you're developing a player, and in the other you're letting a player who is on the decline drag down the rest of your team. You made an insupportable statement about a bunch of guys who are hitting badly on good teams, I showed they ALL hit better than Cain was, and mostly a lot better. So you tried to change the subject, and for some unknowable reason you picked Dansby Swanson as an example. Another bad idea. There are reasons to want to stick with Cain a while, but suggesting he isn't that bad right now isn't one of them. His batted ball stats are worse than his standard stats (haven't looked at them for a while, but they were so abysmally bad they couldn't have improved much). He's been terrible.
  6. Why they're pencilling McCutchen in every game (not just every game against LHP) is one of the great imponderables of CC's managing decision, related to his choice to start Hiura almost exclusively against LHP when he does better against RHP. If half of McCutchen's starts against RHP were given to Hiura, I'd be satisfied.
  7. I find myself unable to continue a discussion with you, for when you are faced with information that proves you wrong, you double down. God Bless.
  8. You really need to look at Swanson's stats, because you're very wrong.
  9. Cain OPS+ 34, Molina 68, Turner 74, Teoscar Hernandez 37 (but he hit great as recently as last season and has missed games), Zunino 51, Walls 46, Hicks 76, Gallo 73, and a few of those guys aren't playing that much or have dealt with injuries, not an age-related decline. I wish you had gone on, because you're making the case that our worst guy is worse than all the other teams' worst guys. Hence, something to improve. Additionally, unlike most of those teams, we don't have any elite hitters who can compensate for a weak bottom of the order.
  10. Hiura's OPS vs RHP is 1.395, His OPS vs LHP is 0.357. (posted this in the game thread, sorry for the repeat.)
  11. Hiura's OPS vs RHP is 1.395, His OPS vs LHP is 0.357.
  12. It's astonishing. It's infuriating. I'm not saying Hiura should never bat against LHP, but most of his AB should be against RHP.
  13. While they could use another bullpen arm, and I expect that to happen before the trade deadline, I can't see how anyone can look at Cain's production and not think CF needs to be improved.
  14. Hiura has 7 HRs in AAA and ML this year and zero doubles or triples. Small sample, but seemed odd.
  15. How about Gilberto Celestino as an option at CF? He's never before hit like he's hit this season, so there'd be a high chance of regression to the mean, but he's hitting .324 (with limited power) and probably wouldn't cost much.
  16. I thought the Brewers were big on analytics. What's the deal with their use of Hiura? On a related subject, I'd be a lot happier if McCutchen was on the pace for 375-425 AB, playing against all LHP, but only some RHP.
  17. If his floor is being the most-dominant reliever of the past few seasons, what's his ceiling? Walter Johnson?
  18. One of the alternatives is he had to catch a late flight to MKE. That wouldn't have been bad.
  19. Goldschmidt singled on a pitch that was far inside; Him and Arenado are just damn good hitters. But at his pitch count, he might not get past 4IP.
  20. STL is giving up about 0.5 runs more per game than the Brewers. That's not close.
  21. Cardinals rake against LHP. If Lauer can pitch 5 innings w/o giving up more than 2 runs, that will be an accomplishment.
