    He may be making adjustments to his mechanics to try and get his command up but he’s made zero adjustments in what he is throwing and where he is throwing it. His stuff still grades out strongly but he’s just not fooling people close to as much as he used to. Contact rates up both in zone and out of zone. Whiff rates down. I think MLB hitters are just too good for Burnes to get away with avoiding the top of the zone like the plague especially with his command being down.

    Since the All-Star break last season, Corbin Burnes has made 25 starts. He has 145 IP with a 96 ERA- and 96 FIP-. He’s basically been a slightly above league average pitcher for almost an entire season’s worth of starts at this point.

    I don't think it's anything to do with the pitch clock. The book is just out on him and he's doing absolutely nothing to adjust. The guy had a 3.97 ERA post trade deadline last season and his ERA this season is also 3.97, so I don't know how people can blame the pitch clock.
  4. Lucas O.
    Probably less tipping pitches and more he just refuses to pitch the ball up in the zone. Hitters can just focus on the lower half of the zone so when Burnes with his shaky command leaks one over the middle of the plate it's just getting crushed. He's already given up more HR this year than he did in his Cy Young winning season and it's not even freaking June yet lol

    10 times out of 10 I would say it would make more sense to do a brief retool than to trade away some higher level prospects in an attempt to help this years team.

    I'm sorry..right shoulder??

    Varland, Guerra, and Bush are seriously dragging down the team bullpen numbers. 2 of them are DFA'd and the other is on the IL with no known timetable for return so I think the overall bullpen number is pretty misleading. Our current 8-man pen has a 2.71 ERA, 3.71 xERA, and 3.67 FIP. The xERA and FIP are weighted by IP so this isn't just a raw average.

    Last year DW and Hader combined for 44 saves and 4 blown saves. The rest of the pen combined for 8 saves and 25 blown saves. In 2021 Hader had 34 saves and 1 blown save. The rest of the pen had 10 saves and 26 blown saves. What you’re talking about happens basically every single season.

    I’m guessing that 1 in 16 chances isn’t correct. You don’t need to be pitching the 9th inning to get a BS. If the 7th inning pitched blows the 1-3 run lead then it’s considered a BS so I’m guessing most of those 15 are situations like that not blowing actual 9th inning save situations.

    Yeah I would agree. When I stream the games I have Biloxi/Nashville on one side of the screen with both muted. On the other side of the screen I have Wisconsin/Carolina and whichever stream I don't have on the screen at the moment is playing the audio. I'll pretty much only tun into the Sounds games when Gasser/the potential MLB relievers pitch.

    Yeah here are the average age of position/pitcher groups relative to league average for all the Brewers minor league teams. Carolina Position Players - 19.8 years old vs 20.9 league average (-1.1 years), 12th oldest out of 12 Carolina Pitchers - 21.6 years old vs 21.7 league average (-0.1 years), 7th oldest out of 12 Wisconsin Position Players - 22.0 years old vs 22.5 league average (-0.5 years), 10th oldest out of 12 Wisconsin Pitchers - 22.9 years old vs 23.3 league average (-0.4 years), 10th oldest out of 12 Biloxi Position Players - 22.5 years old vs 23.8 league average (-1.3 years), 8th oldest out of 8 Biloxi Pitchers - 24.3 years old vs 24.3 league average (0.0 years), 5th oldest out of 8 Nashville Position Players - 27.7 years old vs 26.6 league average (+1.1 years), 7th oldest out of 20 Nashville Pitchers - 28.0 years old vs 27.3 league average (+0.7 years), 4th oldest out of 20 Outside of Nashville, every single position/pitcher group is in the younger half of the league.

    They went 3-1 today and have 3 teams above .500...how has the whole system been disappointing?
  14. Lucas O.
    Biloxi is just playing some really bad baseball right now. Runners on the corners with 1 out in the 7th. Valerio hits a line drive to RF that required an offbalanced shoe string catch from the RF and Sparks doesn't even feint a tag from 3B. The RF didn't even have to throw the ball to home plate.
  15. Lucas O.
    Biloxi seriously miss Uribe and Thompson. Bullpen just hasn't been the same without them.
  16. Lucas O.
    Cam Robinson's disastrous 2023 continues. He had a 6.75 ERA in AAA and was just pulled after only getting 1 out today with his AA ERA ballooning up to 7.94 with him also leaving an inherited runner on base.
  17. Lucas O.
    Yeah I have been saying this for a while. His OBP is highly overrated because he's such a terrible baserunner. He's the definition of station to station as a runner. Generally speaking to score him from 1st you would need 3 singles, a double+single, or a HR.
  18. Lucas O.
    Need Freddy to pitch to his potential today. With all the SP injuries happening we really need Freddy to take that leap and be a more consistent top of the rotation type pitcher.
  19. Lucas O.
    Zamora with 3 errors today. 2 throwing errors (both on pretty routine plays) and one missed catch error on a double play ball.
  20. Lucas O.
    Shuckers have now struck out 16 times in 6 innings.
  21. Lucas O.
    Unfortunately they brought him back out for the 9th. He walked the first hitter and gave up a 450ft walkoff HR to the second hitter. Those first 2 innings were super dominant though.
  22. Lucas O.
    Embarrassing night at the plate for Biloxi. Through 5 innings they have struck out 13 times.
  23. Lucas O.
    I said Voit is good against RHP. That's it. He's been horrifyingly bad against LHP but this year like his entire career he has been good against RHP.
  24. Lucas O.
    You know what. You're absolutely right! You know better than the numbers! Brewers need to get you into their FO ASAP and you can teach Arnold how to run a baseball org!
  25. Lucas O.
    Voit has sucked against LHP this year. That's it. He still looks good against RHP but his role has left him hitting against a ton of LHP.
