    To be fair to Burnes even if he was willing and wanted to do what Freddy and Woodruff do with their FB he couldn’t. He just can’t spin the FB in the optimized way Woodruff and Peralta do. His 4 seamer was always flatter than either of those 2. Burnes using a 4 seamer up in the zone would be far more similar to the way Houser uses his 4 seamer. Not as a putaway pitch necessarily but as a pitch that makes his cutter and other pitches play better and that keeps the hitter focused on all quadrants of the zone not just the lower half.

    I literally never defended Burnes lmao. He pitched terrible yesterday. Me saying Burnes doesn’t throw all of his pitches the same speed like you said he does isn’t defending him.

    The offspeed and breaking balls were all basically just down the middle. The cutter was a back door cutter to Suwinski that just leaked out over the plate a bit too much that he hit the HR to CF on. I agree with your opinion that Burnes doesn’t use the top of the zone enough so hitters can just keep their eyes on the lower half of the zone. Makes commanding pitches pretty important because hitters will be able to get good contact on mistake pitches when they are only looking at the lower half of the zone. Even when Burnes was throwing a 4 seam FB back in 18 and 19 he wasn’t really utilizing the pitch up the zone. The guy just for whatever reason doesn’t like pitching up there.

    I would certainly consider it.

    Definitely needs more AB. I’d be looking to have Canha play LF or RF and Frelick, Taylor, Yelich to mix in more off days to get Rowdy’s bat into the lineup against RHP.

    Because I feel it’s necessary for posters that post completely made up nonsense that don’t have any semblance of truth/reality to have their posts corrected. Why don’t you just not make stuff up going forward and then I won’t have to correct you?
  7. Lucas O.
    See no there is not both can be right here because Burnes throwing everything the same speed is just not even remotely true. Why is this hard for you guys to understand. Here are the pitches Burnes got knocked around on yesterday. 87.7 mph Changeup 95.3 mph Cutter 79.9 mph Curveball 81.3 mph Curveball 82.7 mph Slider

    Weird because I never called you a name. I said you spewed total nonsense because you just totally made something up that was very obviously not true. I didn't say you were stupid. I didn't say you were a moron. I said you spewed nonsense. Conversely you did dip into personal insults. You called me a "keyboard bad guy" (fyi it's keyboard warrior). You not so subtly implied you would physically beat me up and kept telling me to meet you in person (threatening physical harm...yikes). You said I live in my grandma's basement. I never called you a name. I never hurled out insults towards your character. I said your patently false statement was nonsense that's it. No name calling.

    Literally did that right above and you even commented on me checking myself. I try to keep all my comments based on fact/reality and not wild opinions that aren't remotely associated with reality like your post that started all of this. Your post that said Burnes throws all of his pitches around the same speed and that's why he struggles when in reality he doesn't throw any 2 pitches the same speed other than his 2 FB especially with his new sweeper that he's using in place of his slider. FB Sinker - 95 FB Cutter - 94 CH - 89 SL - 85 CB - 80 4 pitch types with unique velocities and movement profiles. Not even close to 4 pitches that are around the same velocity.

    Must be super weird seeing someone say something not accurate and correct themselves when they realize it was incorrect. Real foreign concept to someone like you whose reaction to being corrected by someone is trying to physically fight them.

    Edit: I misread box score
  12. Lucas O.
    Wisconsin is technically still in contention because Cedar Rapids won the 1st half so 2nd place in the 2nd half makes the playoffs but it's not a very real chance of making the playoffs. Peoria is 3 games up and I am pretty sure they own the tiebreaker. That means WI needs to go 5-1 against Cedar Rapids this week and Peoria would need to go 1-5 against the Beloit team that Wisconsin just swept. Not very likely. If I had to bet, I would probably bet Wilken gets a cup of coffee in AA either once Wisconsin is eliminated or once the season is over and then head to Biloxi for their final week.
  13. Lucas O.
    Yeah me misremembering how long the winning streak was isn't the same as bulldogboy being negative in every single game thread and making up things to be negative about when those things are very much not true.

    Since June 1st the Brewers are 13th in the MLB in runs scored. Since July 1st the Brewers are 11th in the MLB in runs scored. Since August 1st the Brewers are 10th in the MLB in runs scored. The offense has been fine over the last 3 months. Yeah they have nights like tonight where they can't string enough hits together with RISP but they have just as many other nights where they do string together hits and score runs. Burnes coming into today had an 81 ERA- which was 27th out of 105 pitchers with 100 IP this season. 19% better than league average ERA and 27th out of 105 SP with a reasonable amount of innings pitched = league average pitcher I guess.
  15. Lucas O.
    Yes sorry 9 game winning streak. But hey we lost to the Pirates so the sky is falling and they are trash and will miss the playoffs.
  16. Lucas O.
    We are less than 7 days removed from a 9 game win streak.
  17. Lucas O.
    Brewers are 47-35 since June 1st. 7th best in the MLB in that time. Brewers are 33-22 since July 1st. 6th best in the MLB in that time. Brewers are 19-11 since August 1st. 6th best in the MLB in that time. Maybe we don't need to have meltdowns every single time this team loses a game. This isn't a 17 game NFL season or 12 game college football season. The Brewers are 2.5 games up in the division and 6 games up over the first team out of the WC race. The sky is not falling.

    I don't know what's more sad. The fact your panties are in a bunch from me calling out your nonsense or the fact you're trying to fight me in person because of it. Either way it's absolutely sad.
  19. Lucas O.
    I already told you if I heard you say Burnes struggles because he throws all of his pitches around the same velocity in person I would have 100% said you're full of **** and that's not remotely true. I have zero issues calling out nonsense in person.
  20. Lucas O.
    Posting actual facts isn't an opinion "bro"
  21. Lucas O.
    Burnes throwing all of his pitches around the same velocity isn't an opinion. An opinion would be Burnes throws his cutter too much and his breaking balls not enough. If I heard you say that Burnes struggles because he throws all of his pitches the same velo in a bar I would absolutely laugh and call it out for being utter nonsense. So tired of people making up stuff on this board as irrefutable fact and then crying when the utter nonsense gets called out. I bet Brandon Woodruff and his max-min velo diffence of 96 and 83 also throws his pitches the same velo and struggles because of it.
  22. Lucas O.
    What? His second most used pitch is an 80mph CB that's 14mph difference between his cutter? Just spew some total nonsense some more.
  23. Lucas O.
    Yelich just has looked flat out bad at the plate over the last 4+ weeks
  24. Lucas O.
    They have just totally fallen off a cliff at the plate since the ASB. Pre ASB - 102 wRC+, 4.6 runs per game Post ASB - 76 wRC+, 3.6 runs per game Add them to the list of teams we played while they were hot and the Cubs are playing when they are ice cold.
  25. Lucas O.
    Hopefully it doesn't have to come down to that with us facing Salem who hasn't been good.
