    I think teams will see the increased FB velo (which at 97 MPH is a career high) and have some of their fears be allayed. I think the biggest culprit with the K's is teams don't even think about the top of the zone anymore whereas they still did a bit in 2021-2022. His secondary pitches are still all high whiff rate pitches. Cutter whiff rate has curiously declined even though as mentioned he's throwing it as hard as ever.

    Boyle is a hard thrower with solid stuff, but one of the wildest pitchers in the majors. Going to be a game where we'll have to be patient and not start swinging wildly as that will only help the guy.

    On the Chourio fielding discussion, Thomas Nestico helps shed light on things with his new app. The most blatant "drops" that people remember from earlier in the season were almost all super low probability plays that only a handful including Chourio could even get close to. The one in the 9th against the Marlins in May that everyone pounced on him for was a mere 5% probability catch, of which only a handful have been converted in MLB this season. Bottom line is Chourio's range is incredible for an OFer, and he should only get better as he improves his reads and jumps which you would certainly expect from someone who was an infielder until a couple years ago. https://tjstatsapps-catch-probability.hf.space/

    A (potential?) move to CF and an offseason of strength training and filling into his developing body and the possibilities are frightening.
  5. Brewcrew82
    If this is overturned while the one yesterday stands...
  6. Brewcrew82
    Because he hasn't been the same pitcher for a couple months now and is struggling to top 90 with his fastball and generate whiffs with his sweeper.
  7. Brewcrew82
    Must have something to do with how short Frelick is. Umps are used to calling pitches at that eye level strikes.
  8. Brewcrew82
    Little better velo to end the inning but still not good to see from Hudson. Not generating any whiffs with the sweeper.
  9. Brewcrew82
    Yeah. Hudson needs to go on the IL or to AAA. He's not even touching 90 with the fastball. I'd honestly rather have Ashby on the roster right now.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Could really use Hudson looking like his old self now.
  11. Brewcrew82
    You weren't a Prince Fielder fan?
  12. Brewcrew82
    Phew. That's gotta be his last inning, though. Which is a shame after being spotted that kind of a lead.
  13. Brewcrew82
    This is the dangerous hitter.
  14. Brewcrew82
    Well, at least we don't have to worry about facing Mason Miller tonight.
  15. Brewcrew82
    In other news, Ashby is currently sitting 97-98 and just mowed down the side for Nashville.

    Last ever trip the Crew will take to Oakland. Gotta go out on a high note!

    Chourio: 14 DRS, 5 OAA, 6 FRV, 12.8 UZR/150, 3.5 DEF, 1.1 dWAR Frelick, 8 DRS, 5 OAA, 5 FRV, -5.3 UZR/150, 2.4 DEF, 0.6 dWAR Chourio is pretty clearly better than Frelick by the stats, fwiw.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Well, we're certainly getting screwed by the umps on top of all of it.
  19. Brewcrew82
    Bryse Wilson can go, too. There's zero reason to not bring up Yoho and Misiorowski for the stretch run.
  20. Brewcrew82
    Geez. That was called strike 3, too.
  21. Brewcrew82
    Chourio is already better than Frelick in the OF... With reps, Chourio can absolutely be as good as Mitchell in CF. Who knows if he gets Perkins good as that's almost Prime Cain level, but remember Chourio won a GG in CF in the minors and played that position exclusively until this season grading as a future 60.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Well, Mitchell hitting 4th turns out to be a killer there.
  23. Brewcrew82
    Honestly, Sal Frelick probably deserves to be in LF more often. And I doubt Yelich is suddenly going to stop playing in the field. Mitchell can play a good RF, and has the best arm of all the RF options. Perkins is the only one who's really proven to be a superior option, but he hasn't shown that he can hit enough to be a surefire everyday player. Bottom line is Chourio in CF is of greater value to the Brewers than Chourio in LF if he proves he can do it which every indication from his minor league career is that he can. He's got the contract that none of those other guys do to where he takes precedence.
  24. Brewcrew82
    I agree he's fine for now, but he did show he could handle the offensive and defensive workload in the minors. He won a minor league GG in CF in 2022 the same year he was MVP of the Carolina League. All the scouts have him as a 60 grade defender in CF. I just think there's no reason not to work to transition him there when the value payoff in CF is so great. If he was injury prone that's one thing, but he's never spent a single day on the IL as a pro to this point. No need to "save the legs" of a 20 year old. Willie Mays, for instance, as great a hitter as he was, wouldn't have been Willie Mays in a corner OF spot.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Most interesting remaining question on Chourio imo is when does he take hold of the starting CF spot. Chourio has already mastered RF and is growing increasingly comfortable in LF (probably deserves a GG). Meanwhile, Mitchell, Perkins, and Frelick just aren't hitting enough to have the everyday CF spot on lock. Chourio clearly has all the tools to play at least an above average CF and his value would only increase were he to successfully make the transition. My guess: He plays there a ton next ST, and he leads the Brewers in innings played at CF by the end of next season.
