Also another very notable thing about his start tonight was that he held his velo the whole 6 innings. Granted it was only 76 pitches, but still seeing him sit 97-99 in the 6th inning was very nice.
That start by Misiorowski was one of the best of his pro career. I'd definitely have it for sure in the top 3. His walk rate is still too high on the season at 13.5% but through his first 24.2 innings he's showing a pretty big jump in control. His zone rate on the season is at 50.2% and even though the BB rate is still high, he hasn't hit a batter in 24.2 innings. Now for most pitchers that wouldn't be very notable but for Misiorowski who had 1.7 HBP/9 coming into this season, that's a huge development. It's potentially looking like he's taken a leap.
Yeah there should be plenty of space. From A to AAA the Brewers have 125 players on active rosters or short term IL (this includes Ty Duvall on the Development List in AAA but not sure if he's still actually playing).
The video de-sync for Biloxi for the CF camera has now become an audio de-sync as well. The current broadcast is unwatchable with volume on in my opinion.
As awesome as he was yesterday, I still think this is the right call. He needs to work on his slider and cutter without needing to be concerned so much about results. Can't do that in MLB but you can in AAA.
Henderson down (don't need him with Myers being back this week) and then who knows to clear the 40-man spot. My guess would be Cortes or Civale to the 60-day.
I was just looking at Fangraphs probables grid and it looks like we will be facing Shane Smith when we play the White Sox at the end of the road trip that starts tomorrow.
So happy for Caden Vire to finally make his full season debut after so many injury issues the last few years. He looked nasty. Command might be a work in progress but he's mid 90's with an extremely lanky frame. There's still a lot of room to fill out there. This is a kid who it's not super difficult to imagine making it to an MLB bullpen in the next couple of years.
10 seconds is definitely better than 15. I wish they would have 10 second fast forward for more than just mobile devices. With the 10 second skip you can basically use it between every single pitch. 15 seconds is just a bit too long unless there’s a runner on base, a foul ball, a pitch in the dirt, or a really slow pitcher who uses the entire pitch clock.
I worry that Anderson isn't in their long term season plans based on the ridiculous usage he's had this season. He's been in the Brewers bullpen for 20 days and has thrown 12.1 innings. This usage is not sustainable. Brewers really need to get Payamps out of the pen and option Hudson to AAA so we don't have two guys that Murphy is going to actively avoid using going forward.
Chourio needs to figure things out with the chasing. It's been horrible this year. Coming into today his chase rate was 50% against breaking balls and he had two horrific chases against Miller in the 9th. I don't know if it's a vision problem or trying too hard to pull the ball leading to him getting his swing started too early, but it's become a problem.
Wisconsin is a bit of a bummer to watch since the Yophery trade. They only have one of my Top 20 prospects on their roster in Letson and he only pitches once a week. Just not a lot to get excited about watching them from the position player side.
Mears has been good as well. Megill has been good outside of the bad outing in Arizona. They could really use late season Ashby in the pen to replace Hudson who looks like a shell of the dominant guy at the start of last season.
I’m not sure why you changed the subject matter from BB-rate to WHIP when the discussion was about Misiorowski’s walk issues. Unless you think Misiorowski can suppress hits in the MLB against the best hitters in the world at the level he has done in the minors then his minor league WHIP doesn’t really matter.
It’s actually 6 more games that AAA have played. Remember they started a week earlier so Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday all before A to AA started.
BB% is far better for comparing a pitchers BB-rate than BB/9. Why would you want to go by inning rather than by batters faced to determine who walks more hitters? You face 4 hitters in an inning and walk 1 and someone else faced 6 hitters in an inning and walked 1. They both have 1 BB/9 one has a 25% BB-rate and the other a 17% BB-rate. Those are not the same thing. 15.6% and 13.6% are not pitchers who walk hitters similar amounts.
Just for reference there were 351 pitchers last season to throw 50 innings in MLB. The highest BB% was 14.7% almost a full percent lower than Misiorowski. Post-COVID there have been 1393 pitcher seasons with 50 IP. Only 11 had a BB% higher than 15.
