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.
-
If you don't like Rea, you would hate Boushley. Boushley doesn't even average 90mph with his FB.
-
I mean it was a 94 mph FB right on the edge. Could have definitely been up a bit more but any pitch on the edge like that shouldn't be classified as a bad pitch.
-
Corbin Burnes is starting tomorrow. He obviously hasn't been his sharpest, but I'm never going to expect a blowout with him on the mound.
-
He's a top 50 prospect and even that might not be generous enough.
-
He was also completely terrible his entire rehab assignment. In 14.1 IP between the MLB, AAA and A+ he had an 11.3 ERA.
-
His peripheral numbers were awful long before yesterday. That 2.25 ERA was very fake and he was getting extremely lucky.
-
Yeah our leverage bullpen hasn’t been a problem since Bush was put on the IL. The low leverage guys have been brutal though. Varland, Guerra, Bush combine for 17% of our bullpen’s IP and 40% of the ER. There are 18 RP with 7+ IP and and 8+ ERA and the Brewers have 3 of them.
-
He goes back to the Dodgers (not with a 40-man spot) if nobody claims him.
-
Jesse Winker has to be the slowest running slap hitter in baseball history right? Love by 2nd percentile sprint speed guy being a singles only guy.
-
The good news is he's still way underperforming his peripheral numbers at the plate so the offense ticking up is easily an option
-
Does anyone actually enjoy watching Winker at the plate? Just brutal looking ABs from him. 100 PA into the season now and he has 2 barrels.
-
That Anderson groundout was our hardest hit ball at 92 EV. Other than that our next hardest EV was 82.
-
He had a .375 xwOBA vs LHP before he was traded to the Mets last year and has a .425 xwOBA vs LHP this year. He'd hardly be the first guy to struggle after being traded midseason.
-
A 116 wRC+ against LHP is not mediocre. It would have been 3rd best on the my Brewers last year minimum 50 PA. He was bad for the Mets post trade but that’s it. He had a 150 wRC+ vs LHP with the Giants last year and a 114 wRC+ vs LHP with the Giants this year
-
And Voit was a FA at the start of ST
-
His hitting needs to tick up to maintain that pace because LF basically never have positive defensive value at the end of the season.
-
I’m sure some regression was coming but he’s been terrible vs LHP for 200 PA now so I doubt Ruf would be worse than that. 69 wRC+ vs LHP fit Voit last year. Ruf was at 116 wRC+ last season.
-
I'd bet my lunch money that Ruf can do better than Voit's -53 wRC+ vs LHP this season.
-
116 wRC+ against LHP last year. Not great like you said but that feels like a superstar bat vs LHP for the Brewers lol
