    As a SP no. Nashville's starting rotation is not good.
  2. wiguy94
    The tail on his FB is just absurd. His ceiling is truly through the roof.
  3. wiguy94
    I am guessing you are under the assumption he doesn't have an option. He does have an option though.
  4. wiguy94
    That very well may be true, but that doesn't make it good process by the Brewers but this is the org that signed Voit to be a weakside platoon guy despite having career reverse splits so we can't be too surprised at the poor process by the organization.

    His K-rate looks so bad because of his role. I guess I'm not making that clear enough but him having so many AB against LHP is making him look way worse than what he actually is. We traded Wong (who looks very washed) for Winker so it isn't like we gave up anything valuable for him. We traded for Javy Guerra and he's already been on a new new for a couple of weeks now.
  6. wiguy94
    Sure he is but he can't hit the ball hard and he can't keep up with FB anymore. Voit has at least looked the part against RHP this year. Winker just looks bad basically every time he doesn't get a walk.
  7. wiguy94
    Voit has a .439 OBP vs RHP this year.
  8. wiguy94
    I mean I just feel bad for the guy. Dude has always hit RHP better than LHP and his ability to hit LHP has totally fallen off a cliff since the start of last season yet he continues to be used in a role where he's facing LHP for a huge portion of his AB. He's looked way better vs RHP than Winker has this year. .380 xwOBA for Voit compared to Winker's .289 yet everyone wants to dump Voit because the Brewers are using him stupidly.

    Yeah average launch angle can be a pretty noisy stat because of how much the outlier pop-ups/grounders can impact the average. Sweetspot% is probably a better estimator of quality of LA because it is % of batted balls between 8 and 32 degrees LA. That was at 31.7% for Yelich before today which is between 19/20 and 21/22 for Yelich. Seems like he's in a really good spot at the moment.

    Wisconsin gets their 3rd straight win! Edwin Jimenez and Kaleb Bowman combined to go 4 scoreless from the bullpen and a Doston single in the 8th inning to score Martinez from 2B to put the final score at 4-2.
  11. wiguy94
    Wisconsin up 2-0. More small ball from Brown Jr and Metzinger. Brown Jr reached on a single to LF then stole 2B. Metzinger drove him in from 2B with a single to CF.
  12. wiguy94
    It feels like the energy/mood has shifted for this Wisconsin team. They seem to be playing much more loose this week. Maybe all they needed was a bit of warm weather.
  13. wiguy94
    The 90th percentile OAA next to the 16th percentile Outfield Jump is pretty hilarious.
  14. wiguy94
    Wisconsin gets an early lead. Eric Brown Jr hit a single up the middle. He advanced to 2B on a groundout to 1B by Darrien Miller. Brown Jr then stole third and scored on a Ben Metzinger single to LF. 1-0 Wisconsin.

    I just posted an update from Curt Hogg. Rea is starting tomorrow. Freddy, Miley, Burnes will start against the Cardinals. Lauer either had his start pushed back to avoid the Cardinals, is hurt, or was moved to the bullpen.
  16. wiguy94
    Not related to today's game but didn't feel like making a thread for it. Brewers push back Lauer's next start/move him to the pen. Either way he's not set up to pitch against the Cardinals anymore which feels like a very smart call.
  17. wiguy94
    Hey I was on board with that!
  18. wiguy94
    Pretty sure Darin Ruf is a FA. Might be worth spinning the wheels on him to see if he can just hit LHP for us.
  19. wiguy94
    Imagine if Yelich and Bellinger swapped places. Yelich is underperforming his .359 xwOBA by 53 points while Bellinger is overperforming his .326 xwOBA by 52 points. Swap places and Yelich has a .412 wOBA and Bellinger a .274 wOBA
  20. wiguy94
    Well they are playing the team that lost 7-3 despite throwing a no-hitter haha.
  21. wiguy94
    I have seen you cite this multiple times. Is this based off a study somewhere on performance post neck surgery or is it just an assumption on your part because it being statistically true would be a welcomed sight.
  22. wiguy94
    Winker has some pretty alarming trends from 2021 to 2023. He was hurt last year which could explain some of his problems. He is supposed to be healthy now but those trends have continued downwards. The most alarming trend to me is his trend against Fastballs. His xwOBA against FB has completely fallen off a cliff since peaking in 2021. That trend line looks like a guy who just can't keep up against velocity anymore.

    They shoudn't have lol. It was completely unnecessary. Shifting has been around for a long time. They shifted against Mickey Mantle back in the day and those shifts were way more severe than anything that had been happening lately. The logic in the shift ban was also pointless. The amount of shifting has increased because of hitters trying to hit for power to the pull side. Banning the shift to create "more balls in play" just enables those extreme pull hitters to continue trying to hit HR every time they are at the plate because now when they just miss one by pull a liner to short RF it goes for a hit instead of an out. There's a reason the list of hitters who would most benefit from the shift were a bunch of power hitters and not contact hitters. The kid remark was because all the "hits up the middle should be hits" people are just talking about nostalgia from when they were a kid and taught to hit the ball back up the middle. Nobody is going to tune in to baseball because hits up the middle are now hits. The idea that it adds to the entertainment factor is mostly just not true.
  24. wiguy94
    That's a hilariously brutal attempt at a comparison but the fact you made it shows that you have no reason behind nostalgia so I appreciate you admit you were wrong!
  25. wiguy94
    Very doubtful but the point still stands. Give a logical reason why a baseball hit up the middle should be a hit other than nostalgia because I'm pretty sure you can't.
