    The Just Baseball guys on the call up podcast were raving about Yoho and Misiorowski as pen arms down the stretch. Jack in particular who saw them both pitch during the series against Indy this week. He's a part of Indy's radio call. Link the video right where they start talking about Yoho and Misiorowski.

    Hedbert Perez was assigned to Wisconsin. Looks like he might be making his 2024 debut tonight!

    I'm not arguing against myself. I'm saying he's been misused because he's been bad not because he's being asked to pitch a higher leverage role than last year (what you have argued). That's pretty clear if you'd have been paying attention. You keep citing that he's been good because he's putting up zeros ignoring that he keeps allowing inherited runners to score. Since the ASB he has -0.44 WPA which is by far the worst in the pen with the next lowest being -0.04. In that time has a 111 FIP- and 4.01 xERA so yeah not good. He needs to go to AAA.

    I also think it's worth pointing out that despite Hudson being rejuvenated and off the IL, he looked like the same guy last night that was getting smashed before he went on the IL. Velo was still down. Didn't have feel for his sweeper. Without getting his sweeper back to early season levels, I don't think he's a guarantee to be on the MLB roster during the September run. He just will not be able to punch out hitters without the sweeper.

    Peguero was the 7th inning leverage guy basically half the season in 2023. Saying that's above what he should be is just not true. Negative WPA shows he hasn't been good. Terrible post from you and 1000% wrong.

    I just really dislike this talking point. Like are we really lucky that we are the smallest market in baseball? If Milwaukee was on the East Coast and the metro population was 4.5 million would we really be worse off playing in a tougher division where our payroll is likely $75-100M larger?

    So Murphy cited Kershaw having reverse splits this year for why Turang and Mitchell hit 1 and 3 in the order....Kershaw doesn't even have reverse splits this year lmao
  8. wiguy94
    Doesn't help that the lineup was totally set up to fail. Turang and Mitchell leading off because according to Murphy Kershaw has reverse splits in his 4 games this year....Monasterio should have started at 2B and Mitchell and Frelick should have been 7 and 9 in the order only because we had to play them as Perkins was on the IL and we called up a LHH 1B to replace him for whatever reason.
  9. wiguy94
    They both should be up in September. Not an either or situation

    In 7 games against the Dodgers and Phillies this year the Brewers have been outscored by 6 total runs. You're acting like the Brewers are getting blown out in these games. These are mostly close games we are losing. We aren't getting our teeth kicked in.

    I think the 89 wRC+ is the real thing. His underlying numbers all speak to him playing to about what he deserves to be right now. It's just come with a huge overperformance and a huge underperformance rather than more steady play.
  12. wiguy94
    Turang's wRC+ is down to 89 after that last strikeout.
  13. wiguy94
    Turang must not have been looking too hard considering he chased 2 FB above the zone one of them on a 2-1 count
  14. wiguy94
    Also had a 111 EV lineout in the Reds series. Hardest hit ball of his career.

    I know Hudson has great numbers on the year, but if he can't find his sweeper he belongs in AAA. His cutter is a really bad pitch and his FB becomes a lot more hittable if guys don't need to focus on that sweeper.

    Freddy has worse numbers 3rd time through the order than both Rea and Myers this year and that's before tonight. Rea - .304 wOBA, 5.26 ERA Myers - .338 wOBA, 4.32 ERA Peralta - .359 wOBA, 8.14 ERA You'd never guess that based on the way Murphy manages them

    Bradley Blalock getting his first MLB start tonight against the white hot Arizona Diamondbacks. I wish him luck because he might need it.
  19. wiguy94
    Collins isn't on the 40 so that's not surprising. Unless you meant Capra.
  20. wiguy94
    Black being the guy up not Hicklen is kind of weird. Perkins has been a weak side platoon guy since Mitchell came up and Black is a LHH.
  21. wiguy94
    What does Blake Perkins being placed on the IL a year ago have to do with DL Hall/Bryan Hudson?
  22. wiguy94
    That's the thing he has not done a great job. A leverage RP who has a negative WPA is in fact doing their job poorly. It's also not a higher role than he has ever been in. He has virtually the same leverage index as last year. He's been used pretty much the same. Difference being he was good at his job last year and has not been good at his job this year.
  23. wiguy94
    I think Perkins might have gotten hurt yesterday. Have no clue when it would have happened, but was weird that Mitchell replaced him defensively in the 9th inning.

    101 FIP- 100 xFIP- 4.07 xERA 4.08 SIERA 21% K-rate 12% BB-rate -0.16 WPA (worst among RP with 10+ IP) 17 SD to 12 MD 14 of 22 inherited runners have scored for a 36% strand rate Pretty easy to see why people might not like Elvis. His ERA is fine for a middle reliever (which isn't how Murphy uses him), but his ERA doesn't tell the whole story because his peripherals are pretty bad for a RP and him allowing a ton of inherited runners to score doesn't impact his ERA. Edit: A lot of the ire towards Peguero is mostly the fault of Murphy who continues to use him in ways that exacerbate his weaknesses. Peguero struggles with inherited runners and has really struggled throwing strikes to RHH this season, but Murphy keeps bringing him in to face RHH with runners on base.

    Find you someone that loves you like Pat Murphy loves Elvis Peguero.
