And he walks the next hitter to load the bases with no outs. He was pulled. 36 pitches only 14 for strikes. Honestly seems like a growing trend of Brewers pitchers losing their command in AAA.
-
Clayton Andrews command is so much worse at the moment than it was to start the season. He's in a jam to start his second inning after a HBP and a BB with 0 outs.
-
Ethan Small comes in with runners on the corner in the 2nd inning. He proceeds to walk the first 2 batters on 9 pitches with none of them being in the strike zone. He struck out the 3rd hitter to end the inning. That's now 6 BB in Small's last 6 IP.
-
And the Mudcats go down 1-2-3 and get no hit. A Luis Lara walk was the only Mudcat player to reach base.
-
Mudcats are entering the final inning of game 1 without a hit. Can they break up the no-hitter?
-
Yeah but that's with Braun and Segura playing way under their expected levels. 2014 was the only season in Braun's first 10 years where his wRC+ was under 129 and it was 113. Segura went from a 4 fWAR to a 0.1 fWAR season which likely was entirely due to the off the field issues with his sick kid. If that 2014 team had a typical Braun season and Segura without the off the field issues I think it's certainly a playoff team.
-
Maldonado getting some very unfortunate batted ball luck in this game and the defense has not been helping him out whatsoever. Lara had a great throw home and Sibrian dropped the ball on the tag (also the runner never came close to touching home plate but the ump ruled him safe). When I say he wasn't close to touching home, I mean it wasn't remotely close. He missed home plate by multiple feet.
-
Obviously Segura had a sick baby who passed away in July of 2014 which more than likely contributed to his awful season but from a pure on paper perspective, that 2014 team actually was a pretty darn good team.
-
Looking back on that roster on paper it actually wasn't that bad of a team. C - Lucroy - 131 OPS+ 1B - Reynolds - 87 OPS+ 2B - Gennett - 107 OPS+ SS - Segura - 70 OPS+ 3B - Ramirez - 108 OPS+ LF - Davis - 106 OPS+ CF - Gomez - 129 OPS+ RF - Braun - 113 OPS+ Bench - Weeks - 123 OPS+, Maldonado - 95 OPS+, Overbay - 84 OPS+, Herrera - 74 OPS+, Schafer - 55 OPS+, Parra - 96 OPS+ SP - Peralta - 107 ERA+, Lohse - 107 ERA+, Gallardo - 108 ERA+, Garza - 104 ERA+, Nelson - 77 ERA+, Estrada - 87 ERA+, Fiers - 178 ERA+ BP - Rodriguez - 125 ERA+, Smith 103 ERA+, Duke - 155 ERA+, Kintzler - 117 ERA+ If Segura and Braun hadn't had down years that could have been a playoff team. Segura went from 4.1 bWAR to 0.9 bWAR. Braun went from 1.7 bWAR (61 games) to 1.2 bWAR (135 games) and that's even with one of the worst 1B position in baseball that season.

Prospect voting time! May, 2023

Curious as to your thinking behind Guilarte as the best pure hitter in the system right now. Surely it's an eye test thing because the stats don't exactly scream pure hitter. Since coming stateside, he has a 22% K-rate between ACL and A ball with a 60% ground ball rate. -
Miller’s xwOBA is .311 (Fangraphs is always a day behind) and he’s looked way better in May since he was put into basically an every day role. His xwOBA this month is I believe .382 or .376 can’t remember which.
-
Miller still doesn't have much of an upside because of his limited power, but he could become a very solid utility player. Hernan Perez but actually good. 10ish HR, good average, good defense. There's just not enough power there.
-
Are you like secretly a Cardinals fan? You seem to go out of your way to praise them quite a bit here especially when they are 3-3 against us on the season. Cardinals SP aren't supposedly horrible. They are horrible. Their SP have a 5.15 ERA this season which is the definition of horrible.
-
Owen Miller seemed fake good in April but actually looks for real good in May. Coming into today he had a .346 xwOBA in May and today he had a BB and 3 BBE over 100 EV with xBA of .450, .730, .850. He's earned at least for the moment an every day role on this team.
-
Nothing. His start was just pushed back a day to get another LHP to face us.
-
Don't teams have the option of keeping it as a night game if they visiting team has a day off the following day?
-
So this means barring a phantom injury to get Rea back on the 26-man roster, that Junk will probably make the next start in place of Miley.
-
I was hoping they didn't do this. He has been so good in AAA this season and pitched 5 scoreless against the Brewers last year. One positive I guess is that two of his worst starts this year were his last two so maybe he's not firing on all cylinders at the moment.
-
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply but Rea added a sweeper this offseason that currently has a .175 xwOBA against, a 34.4% whiff rate and a 21% putaway rate. It's a good pitch and the putaway pitch he desperately needed to add. That makes what he's done in the past pretty irrelevant. Obviously it's not to the same degree but what Corbin Burnes did before the cutter is also irrelevant because that cutter made him a different pitcher. The same rings true for Rea with his sweeper.
-
Also our 2-6 in the bullpen are racking up a ridiculous amount of IP right now. We can't afford to keep a guy like Varland who can't eat innings or spot fill a leverage/middle relief inning from the other guys. This is the IP pace our 2-6 are on. Wilson - 83 IP Payamps - 81 IP Peguero - 77 IP (counting his AAA innings) Strzelecki - 75 IP Milner - 70 IP That's just not a sustainable burden to put on your middle relief/non-closer leverage guys. They cannot keep pitching this many innings all season. Brewers need to use those 7th/8th spots for shuttle guys to try and find another Peguero who can stick in the bullpen. Varland being a Rule 5 guy prevents that shuttle from churning.
-
His rehab assignment was originally supposed to be 2 games at A+. He pitched so terribly during those games that they sent him to AAA instead of calling him back to the MLB. Of the 431 pitchers with at least 25 batted ball events this is where those numbers would stand. xwOBA - 431st xERA - 431st Avg EV - 430th Hard hit % - 419th Barrel % - 422nd Of 442 pitchers with at least 8 IP this is where his ERA, FIP, xFIP, K%, BB% K-BB%, WHIP would stand. ERA - 438th FIP - 441st xFIP - 429th K% - 427th BB% - 412th K-BB% - 432nd WHIP - 441st He was legitimately one of if not the worst pitchers in the MLB this season. One bad game like yesterday isn't going to make all those numbers so bad.
-
I’m talking about Rea’s struggles this year. What he’s done in the past is irrelevant to me and he’s added multiple pitches to his repertoire since then.
-
Rea has only struggled when his command has been terrible. When he's locating his pitches he isn't having issues. His stuff is way better than someone like Boushley.
-
It was on the inside edge of the outer edge of the plate. By no means a good pitch because it wasn't up enough but definitely not a terrible pitch. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/718151/play/75
-
I've watched plenty of Boushley. Also Alexander throws 93 which is 4 mph faster than what Boushley is throwing this year.
