The FIP is the surprising one. The rotation was 5th in ERA in April. Frankly the rotation is the reason this season didn't completely fall apart in April and May even if the ERA is slightly inflated due to a shorter leash.
I'll be honest Joseph I have no clue what you're talking about in regards to Hedbert. I saw him in the dugout in good spirits not favoring a shoulder. He was in his uniform just with a sweatshirt over the top.
Welch's nightmare start to his first pro season continues. He gives up a leadoff HR. Next hitter he gets behind 2-0 and the hitter hits a 105 EV, 386ft foul ball.
Alright everyone let's hear your record predictions for May. Here is how the schedule pans out.
1 @ PHI
3 @ CIN
3 vs SD
3 vs ATL
4 vs STL
3 @ CHC
3 @ MIN
3 vs PIT
3 vs COL
So today is Caleb Durbin's final day as an MLB prospect as it's his 45th day on the MLB roster. Who do we think replaces him in the Pipeline Top 30 list? Adamczewski, Dinges, Hardin feel like good options. Anyone have any other guesses?
It's going to be fascinating to watch what the Brewers do this summer for promotions. There's really a handful of positional players at pretty much every level that you could very easily see finishing the year at the level above them.
Yeah Law keeping Quero 15 and Misiorowski off the list is just Law being Law. Once he makes up his mind on a prospect he rarely changes it.
In the chat he did someone asked about Misiorowski and he said this:
““He's not really throwing more strikes - ~60% of his pitches are out of the zone, with a lot of chases that he may not get in the majors facing hitters 2-3 times/game. I still think he's a reliever, and maybe an elite one.”
So he didn’t even bother to look at the numbers because that couldn’t be further from the truth on the zone rate.
He ended up getting one hitter in the 9th to ground out on 5 pitches. Final line was 4.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 SO.
66 pitches, 52 strikes, 17 called strikes, 15 swinging strikes
That's good for 79% strike rate, 43% whiff rate, and 48% CSW
Probably never as Zamora’s underlying batted ball data is hideous.
Seigler can’t hit LHP. He might as well just be a LHH the way he’s hit from the right side in his career.
It's the top of the 5th inning and Nashville has two players on cycle watch. Seigler is a HR away from the cycle (with an additional single) and Dalbec is a triple away from the cycle.
Just gotta laugh man. Hopefully it works out like last night but funny how it's happened 2 nights in a row.
Last night Murphy didn't trust Zastryzny to face the top of the order down a run in the 8th then needed Zastryzny to come in during the 10th against the top of the order with 1 out and runners on the corner.
Tonight Murphy doesn't trust Alexander to face the bottom of the order down a run in the 6th then needs Alexander to come in to face the bottom of the order in the 10th inning.
