This gives off fake injury vibes because Rea wasn't eligible to return until the 30th.
-
The GOAT @Smichaelis9provided video of the double play via twitter.
-
Moore and Brown Jr are some middle infield duo. Just turned a ridiculous double play started on a crazy spinning throw from Moore.
-
Also should be taken into consideration that Tyrone basically did not have a spring training so him getting off to a slow start isn't at all shocking. Plus if he was performing up to his xwOBA he would have like an 80 wRC+ (which isn't great but but with his defense and base stealing is easy an above average player).
-
Brewers had 3 barrels today that all went for outs. Their hitters had way more productive contact than the Rays today but the balls just didn't drop for us.
-
After a really slow start to the year, Eric Brown Jr's OPS is up to .681 which should put his wRC+ above league average. He's slashing .240/.361/.320 with 17 SB to 2 CS. Seems like he's adjusted to the swing change and just needs to find the power now that his load isn't as pronounced. Today was a good trend towards finding his power with 2 doubles off the wall in LF.
-
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
wiguy94 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
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.
