2008 was the start of the pitch tracking era where we have accurate pitch level data. The average FB velo in 2008 was 91.9mph. The average FB velo in 2026 is 94.8mph so up nearly 3mph in just the last 18 years. Anything before that we can't say for certain. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=FF|&hfGT=R|&hfSea=2026|2025|2024|2023|2022|2021|2020|2019|2018|2017|2016|2015|2014|2013|2012|2011|2010|2009|2008|&player_type=pitcher&group_by=league-year&min_pitches=0&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=pitches&sort_order=desc&chk_stats_velocity=on#results

The roster move was yesterday (Colton Gordon)

Yeah feel like it's pretty much going to be May and Gasser in games 3 and 4 with the shortest leashes imaginable. As soon as they show signs of struggle then pen will get warming whether it's the 2nd inning or the 4th inning.

Even if he could handle it mentally, I don't think there's enough time to stretch him out by the NLDS. It's two weeks away. He hasn't gone more than 7 outs since July 3rd and his highest pitch count since the start of July is 47.

It's hard for me to trust the stuff metrics when he's sitting on a 23% K-rate on the year with average-ish contact suppression. If the stuff is so good why is it not translating into either more strikeouts or better contact suppression? One of my slight worries when we traded for him was how much of his success FIP wise was on the back of his HR suppression at Busch. He gave up 0.13 HR/9 at Busch as a Cardinal and 1.31 on the road as a Cardinal. Busch by statcast park factors is hardest park to hit HR at in MLB. As a Brewer he's sitting at 1.42 HR/9 which is pretty close to his road number as a Cardinal. You're probably right that they are going to have to just keep rolling him out there with a super short leash in October but as a fan, I don't know how you can feel good about him on the mound based on what he's done this year. Outside of Busch Stadium he's rocking an ERA around 6.00

Can you even trust May to go 3-4 innings? Feel like he's prone to blow at any moment.

The playoff races are pretty lame this year. The NL feels like the 6 playoff teams are already locked in and all that's left is a battle between us and LA for the 1 seed and then a battle between Chicago, Philly, and San Diego for 4-5-6 seeding. There's a bit more action in the AL but it's hardly exciting watching a bunch of .500 teams fight for playoff spots because none of these teams look like they belong in the playoffs.

He's 7th on the team in PA since he came off the IL in early May. This idea he's barely played is just not true. Yeah he doesn't play everyday but that's largely because one of the best hitting 1B in MLB is also on the Brewers.

Hilarious comment. Yeah Vaughn probably can't wait to leave Milwaukee the place where he's turned around his career.

He has looked like super washed Yelich tonight. Definitely don't want tonight's version getting playoff AB

Chourio is the definition of a streaky hitter. Before his most recent hot streak he was on a 2-20 streak and now he's on another 0-10 streak

5 more years

Though looking back to yesterday the game was still up before it started so not sure why it isn't up there

That game hasn't started yet

What a play by Pratt
