    He played yesterday.

    Yeah I just realized that after I posted. The lineup definitely makes way more sense knowing Alexander is likely just an opener.
  3. wiguy94
    Just realized Alexander is an opener so this lineup makes more sense.

    Interesting lineup against a LHP. Caratini and Turang over Contreras and Taylor are probably the most interesting picks. Hopefully it works out.

    Absolutely shocked that building a starting rotation with ages 30, 34, 36, 38, 40 has resulted in a rotation that's dealt with a ton of injuries. I mean pitchers already get injured enough but having a gigantic payroll with an intended SP group with an average age of 35/36 was absolute madness.

    His velo has been down a bit this year. He was closer to 94 last year and has been more 92 this year, but I feel like that wouldn't explain how drastically he has fallen off. He just doesn't seem confident right now. I don't want to right him off completely, but he really doesn't belong on the 40-man roster and I very much doubt he would get claimed by a team if we removed him from the 40-man.

    I fear Cam Robinson is rapidly approaching being DFA'd. He just doesn't look like the same guy this year. I almost hope he's struggling with some injury that could explain the poor pitching. He can't throw strikes and when he actually does get a pitch in the strike zone it usually is getting hit hard somewhere. He was just pulled and his line is sitting at 0.2 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO, 1 HBP. The bases are loaded and Vennaro has an out to get still. His AA ERA is currently sitting at 12.79 and his season ERA between AA and AAA is 9.42.

    Cardinals losing 10-3 to the Reds in the top of the 9th. The Cardinals active pitching staff has just 4 pitchers with an ERA under 4.00

    Biloxi have the third most runs in the Southern League despite being by far the youngest positional squad in the league...

    Second time on the IL for him this season. That's a bummer because he's been absolutely fantastic.
  11. wiguy94
    Houser rattling off good starts with him actually using his FB up in the zone consistently? Who would have guessed? Now someone needs to relay this message to Corbin Burnes so he can start utilizing the top of the zone and dominating again.
  12. wiguy94
    That Rowdy error really hurt. There's a chance that whole inning goes differently if Houser has 2 outs against Bregman. Also it's a lot easier to let pitchers pitch deep into games when you have bigger than a 1-2 run lead so the offense performing better would help as well.

    Rowdy/Ruf DH platoon. Contreras - C Miller - 1B Turang - 2B Urias - 3B Adames - SS Yelich - LF Wiemer - CF Anderson - RF With Caratini, Brosseau, Taylor, Ruf on the bench. Honestly might be our strongest team at the moment.

    Mid-week promotion. Don't see those very often anymore unless this was just announced late.
  15. wiguy94
    His baseball savant page is rough to look at. That 2.89 ERA is major fools gold and hopefully the Brewers regress Bielak’s ERA to the mean today.
  16. wiguy94
    Houser’s FB is nothing special compared to other FB around the league but it allows his other stuff to play better and makes him a bit more unpredictable for the hitter. Burnes absolutely needs to take notice, but I think that’s mostly a lost cause at this point. Even if you go back to 18/19 when Burnes primary FB was a 4 seamer, he wasn’t throwing it up in zone at all. For whatever reason he hates pitching up in the zone and it’s been 6 different seasons worth of him not pitching up. Really just seems like a lost cause.
  17. wiguy94
    Guessing CC was planning on using Taylor as a defensive substitution in the 9th and didn't want to eat the DH to do it. Pinch running for Tellez just shifted Miller to 1B and Anderson to 3B whereas for Winker it would have lost the DH.
  18. wiguy94
    He's had a special game today. Loud contact in all his AB and he's been flashing the glove tonight. Has looked like a future GG out there tonight.
  19. wiguy94
    AA season is split into 2 halves. Enhanced ball is being used the entire first half. Then the AAA/MLB ball in the second half. Believe the halfway point is the last week in June?
  20. wiguy94
    He may be making adjustments to his mechanics to try and get his command up but he’s made zero adjustments in what he is throwing and where he is throwing it. His stuff still grades out strongly but he’s just not fooling people close to as much as he used to. Contact rates up both in zone and out of zone. Whiff rates down. I think MLB hitters are just too good for Burnes to get away with avoiding the top of the zone like the plague especially with his command being down.
  21. wiguy94
    Since the All-Star break last season, Corbin Burnes has made 25 starts. He has 145 IP with a 96 ERA- and 96 FIP-. He’s basically been a slightly above league average pitcher for almost an entire season’s worth of starts at this point.
  22. wiguy94
    I don't think it's anything to do with the pitch clock. The book is just out on him and he's doing absolutely nothing to adjust. The guy had a 3.97 ERA post trade deadline last season and his ERA this season is also 3.97, so I don't know how people can blame the pitch clock.
  23. wiguy94
    Probably less tipping pitches and more he just refuses to pitch the ball up in the zone. Hitters can just focus on the lower half of the zone so when Burnes with his shaky command leaks one over the middle of the plate it's just getting crushed. He's already given up more HR this year than he did in his Cy Young winning season and it's not even freaking June yet lol
  24. wiguy94
    Ride the hot hand with Miller. 1. Miller 2. Yelich 3. Adames 4. Tellez 5. Contreras 6. Anderson 7. Winker 8. Taylor 9. Turang
  25. wiguy94
    10 times out of 10 I would say it would make more sense to do a brief retool than to trade away some higher level prospects in an attempt to help this years team.
