    Want to see one of the worst interference calls you’ll ever see?
  2. wiguy94
    Out of challenges

    Don't understand why DL is coming in when Anderson, Fitzpatrick, and Woodford haven't pitched in a week. Anderson and Fitzpatrick for 1 and Woodford for 2 feels like a pretty easy decision to get them some much needed work.

    I'd pull Chourio and put Perkins in
  5. wiguy94
    His rolling 15 game xwOBA coming into today was .323 so he's definitely been swinging the bat better

    I think the Brewers and Red Sox make really good trade partners because we seem to excel where they lack when it comes to pitching development. They also excel at some things better than us like improving bat speed for their hitters. If they want to keep sending us pitchers that they can't max out I would be all for it.

    Chourio has been so bad today. Tough watch
  8. wiguy94
    You just spoiled that the Padres are going to come back and win this game unfortunately

    It's seriously impressive how much he's changed his swing. Two years ago he had a super short and flat swing and now he swings it like a legit power hitter. One of the most impressive development arcs I've ever seen.

    Chourio for whatever reason has not hit well at AmFam during the regular season but come the playoffs he mashes at AmFam. It's weird.z

    Unfortunately Uribe and Megill just don’t feel like trustworthy arms at this point. That is going to have to change because I don’t think we have the internal options to replace them. Megill doesn’t seem like he’s going to get his 100mph heat back and Uribe unfortunately has no feel for his pitches. Two different problems. Uribe in particular seems a bit more concerning because Megill has seemed to right the ship a bit meanwhile Uribe is still throwing his pitches up in the zone constantly

    @Matthew Trueblood could this be another instance of missing out on Berry? Wasn't he the OF coach in addition to being the 1B coach for the Brewers? The OF defense has been going the wrong way since he left. 2023 - 20 DRS, 18 FRV 2024 - 37 DRS, 20 FRV 2025 - 2 DRS, 13 FRV 2026 - 3 DRS, -1 FRV

    He didn't during his first rehab assignment. We will have to see how he looks this week in Appleton
  14. wiguy94
    44% K-rate since the start of last week so don't think so. Maybe he's getting off his A swing more comfortably?
  15. wiguy94
    Great article Jack. His swing being very janky definitely backs up what my eyes have told me. Hopefully he gets that fixed.
  16. wiguy94
    Moving off of Mears was a no brainer. Even though he has positive fWAR his underlying numbers have mostly been really lousy outside of his FIP. You're unfortunately right about Collins. I think we certainly missed the depth he provides when Chourio was injured but his defense has looked nearly unplayable since the ASB last year. It sucks that Zerpa got injured but we didn't appear to lose much with what we gave up.

    Our bullpen has actually been really good on the year. Top 10 in basically every performance stat. One of the reasons I have always liked using WPA for the bullpen is because nobody cares if a bullpen has a good ERA if they aren't locking down the leverage spots and that has been the issue. Even after tonight the Brewers bullpen is 22nd in WPA at -0.32. Fan appreciation of a bullpen basically correlates directly with WPA.
  18. wiguy94
    Maybe I'm not remembering but seemed like Contreras might have wanted that first one down? I feel like by his movement it didn't look like a pitch that was supposed to be high but missed low. I know Jack wrote an article about how they have incorporated some low fastballs in with Megill with his velo down trying to draw some called strikes because he's not really getting the whiffs at the top of the zone.
  19. wiguy94
    Fine dude. There was nothing wrong with it. Happy? Was this multi-week temper tantrum worth it?
  20. wiguy94
    If I had to guess he might still be set to start on Saturday so was only limited to one inning today as his "between start bullpen". Just a guess though. Could be totally wrong.
  21. wiguy94
    I don't know how long you're going to keep this bit running but this happened because he had a 115 wRC+ when you said he needs to pick it up then you acted like you were talking about his whiff rate not his overall performance after I pointed it out. If I say Mitchell does need to pick it up now will you stop doing this bit every single time he gets out?
  22. wiguy94
    Pretty sure Fischer got ejected arguing a strike 3 call late in the game on Sunday. It wasn't an injury thing.
  23. wiguy94
    I imagine you will see Bauers or Yelich in LF so Vaughn can play against some RHP. Probably not worth it today with Sproat on the mound. Might need to value the defense but with Misiorowski or Harrison on the mound you could probably go a bit lighter on the D

    He's baaack!

    Angles matter just as much as exit velocity. Lara hits the ball slightly harder but the vast majority of his hard contact is on the ground. Lara has 51 hard hit balls on the year. Of those 51, 28 (55%) have negative launch angle. Hitting the ball harder is good but if that contact is just being smashed into the ground it doesn’t really mean much. Sweet spot rate is rate of batted ball between 8 and 32 LA. This is the ideal launch angle to hit a baseball for maximum damage. Lara on sweet spot batted balls has a 95 Avg EV and 61% hard hit rate compared to Ewing’s 91 Avg EV and 43% hard hit. In that regard Lara looks much better but the difference is Lara only has only hit 23% of his batted balls on that angle compared to Ewing’s 56%. That’s why Ewing’s contact quality and underlying numbers are far above Lara’s. It’s an angles issue not an EV issue. Lara has a .285 xwOBACON compared to Ewing’s .427. Here are a couple MLB players with similar xwOBACON to Lara this year - Spencer Horowitz, Luke Keaschall, Sal Frelick Here are a couple MLB players with similar xwOBACON to Ewing this year - Brandon Lowe, Ronald Acuna, Brandon Nimmo
