    Scheduled off day according to Jeff Hem

    Ashby has looked alarmingly bad today...He's topped out at 87 mph and his stuff just looks totally lifeless. Seems his FB is 87. CH is low 80's. SL is upper 70's. CB is lower 70's. That's like 6-10+ mph down on these pitches.

    Sal's .305 xwOBACON compared to Mitchell's .410 xwOBACON might have something to do with the wide gap in this BABIP's. Frelick has made a lot of contact but generally has not made good contact while Mitchell struggled with contact but when he does make contact he has great contact.

    Well @BrewerFan got his wish. Hopefully Vieira can pitch well and stick in the pen.

    Unfortunately with the big cut down in stateside minor league player allotment kicking in next season this was going to be a reality. I feel awful for all these players losing their spots because there just won't be many spots open anywhere this offseason.

    Basically just praying it doesn't hit you at that point.

    Just checking in. Are the Brewers still disinterested?
  8. wiguy94
    Alright dude. Just keep up with the relentless negativity and the assumption that the Brewers don't care.
  9. wiguy94
    You literally said they look disinterested???
  10. wiguy94
    Yeah I really bet the Brewers players are disinterested while leading the division in September.

    Jackson and Ortiz have both pitched extremely well. Both guys have good stuff but struggle with inconsistency. When they locate well like tonight and last night they can have success.
  12. wiguy94
    Jackson has thrown one bad pitch through 3 innings. A 94mph FB right down the middle on a 2-0 count to Turang and Turang weakly fouled it back. He's just looked very good.
  13. wiguy94
    Would be nice if this ump would stop giving Jackson 3 inches off the outside edge.
  14. wiguy94
    I honestly don't think Jackson has thrown a single bad pitch through 2 innings. Obviously he's had some poorly thrown balls but everything in the zone is pretty close to the edge. Leaving nothing over the heart of the plate right now. Second night in a row a Pirates pitcher is just executing extremely well.

    Yeah it's a very small chance. We need to be 4 games better than Peoria this week. So either 5-1 and 6-0 agains the juggernaut Kernels while Peoria also needs to go 1-5 or 0-6 against the really poor Beloit team. The odds are very slim, but as the great Han Solo once said, "Never tell me the odds".

    Cubs bullpen has been much better since the beginning of June. Since June 1st we have 3.83 bullpen WPA compared to the Cubs 3.47 WPA. 5th and 6th respectively in the MLB. We have 88 SD (3rd most) and 39 MD (7th fewest). Cubs have 71 SD (23rd most) and 32 MD (Tied for fewest) I just don't think their rotation will hold up the rest of the year. Steele might end up with 60+ IP more than his career high. Hendricks is good. Taillon is not good. Assad and Wicks are rookies way overperforming their peripheral numbers. I think our veteran rotation is quite a bit better than their rotation.
  17. wiguy94
    Well that's certainly better than nothing. A little throwback to the old days!

    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.
  19. wiguy94
    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.
  20. wiguy94
    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.
  21. wiguy94
    I would certainly consider it.
  22. wiguy94
    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.
  23. wiguy94
    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?
  24. wiguy94
    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.
