Brewers (Peralta) vs Nationals (Gray): 8/1/23, 6:05pm
Brewcrew82 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Contreras is calling a terrible game right now. That's two straight sliders on 3-2 counts, when they're not chasing. -
Maybe. Quero's still on the IL for at least another week, though.
-
For this season, I don't like this trade at all. I wanted Urias up as the everyday 2B over Turang and Monasterio. Now we're stuck hoping Turang has a miraculous power outbreak. We'll see who the pitching prospect is.
-
Now we're getting somewhere....

Brewers (Peralta) vs Nationals (Gray): 8/1/23, 6:05pm

That would be great if he wasn't also hitting in tandem with Turang. Turang is walking more, but still showing zero signs of power. -
Never said it was significantly better. But better is better.
-
Maybe we should let Chafin throw an inning or two before making this declaration, Jeff??

Good god....Just when I was looking forward to the end of Wiemer and Turang hitting 8th and 9th in the order and a Frelick/Wiemer platoon in CF. -
It's very possible. But Burger's QOC right now is better than anything Hiura has done, even including 2019.
-
Better than Hiura. Better/more frequent contact.
-
His name probably rhymes with Byler Tlack.
-
What's so funny is that same poster is focusing on Chafin's 4.19 ERA this year...
-
23rd percentile FB velocity="hard throwing reliever"?
-
One of their top 5 prospects. I'd have been a lot more interested in Burger if he didn't sport one of the 5 worst on base percentages in the majors.
-
TBF, they took pretty much an identical gamble with Drew Pomeranz in 2019 and it worked out spectacularly.
-
Strzelecki "as a hard throwing reliever." That's funny. You do watch the games, right?
-
And so has Chafin....He's been even better and for a longer period of time. What's your point?
-
Never said it didn't. Context, man. It is key.
-
More proven and higher upside than Strzelecki. If he was having just as good of a season this year, we would have had to give up one of our top 10 prospects....
-
I mean, one of the best non-closers in baseball the last three seasons...What's not to like about that? There's more to it than surface-level stats. Here's his #s since 2021: 160.1 innings, 180 Ks, 10.10 K9, 2.69 ERA, 3.04 FIP, 3.0 WAR (20th among qualified relievers and sandwiched between Camilo Doval and Ryan Helsley). He hasn't been as good this year, but he's still inducing whiffs and strikeouts which is a good sign.
-
One thing about Chafin is his reverse splits. He's actually really good against righties but relatively mediocre against lefties.
-
He had one outing last week where he gave up 5 runs in 2/3 of inning. Before that, his era was 2.96.
-
Fine with Strzelecki. His bizarre loss of FB velocity this season really hurt his viability as a high-leverage reliever.
-
Nice. Justin Wilson replacement.
-
I would say it's a shame we're done playing the Mets, but we did take 6/7 from them.
