    I think saying Freddy isn't better than Misiorowski, Harrison, or Henderson isn't out of line. Yes Freddy has a much longer track record than them but Freddy since the start of 2023 has a 94 FIP-. I think Freddy has been overrated by Brewers fans for a few years in part because Brewers media tried to portray him as an ace.
  2. wiguy94
    Freddy was a Cy Young candidate last year because his ERA was like a run better than all of his peripherals. He's not a Cy Young contender level pitcher and the only reason he was ever called an Ace is because Brewers media pushed that label onto him.

    This thread is kind of unbelievable. Brewers have a dominant win on the back of Misiorowski throwing another dominant start to extend the division lead to 2.5 and push the team to 11 games over .500 and like 40% of the comments are complaining about Perkins who even after an 0-4 day is still hitting way better against LHP than Frelick is this year which including Lockridge being injured are the only reasons he's on the roster.

    Thank you for your service bulldog!

    They can still transfer Zerpa and Priester to the 60 day IL if they need to clear a 40 man spot
  6. wiguy94
    No thanks. I've seen enough of playoff Freddy for one life time

    I really hope Murphy doesn't throw Drohan out of being available in the Cardinals series.

    I think the Brewers success does allow Sproat to have a longer leash but I think we are fast approaching a kind of breaking point. This is his 10th game and he's only gone 5 innings in 3 of those 10 games. He's only gone more than 12 outs in 5 of his 10 games.
  9. wiguy94
    He’s never going to get traded so it’s probably not worth thinking too much about, but I think he’s almost certain to opt out of his contract after 2030 so you’d be getting 4+ years of control of him.
  10. wiguy94
    I’d be down with getting rid of Woodford and activating Zastryzny off the IL. I know his ERA is good but Hall has shown to not be reliable as a middle reliever because he can’t throw strikes. He can move to the more mop-up/long man type of role and Rob Z can be the middle reliever type. That way we won’t have a guy in the pen who only pitches two times in 19 days like Woodford just did.

    Last year we saw the Brewers pretty quickly ditch Capra and Dunn and replaced them with Durbin so not sure where you're getting this idea that the Brewers are going to keep someone like Rengifo and Perkins on the roster all year (they literally already optioned Perkins to AAA twice this year btw)
  12. wiguy94
    Chourio chasing ball four 6 inches below the zone then watching strike three right down the middle is a pretty fitting way for this game to end. Flush it.
  13. wiguy94
    Could be though if I had to guess, I'd guess that Contreras days off are planned in advance and built into the schedule.
  14. wiguy94
    I would definitely say noise considering half of those 1B PA were in 2024 when he wasn’t the same hitter he is now.
  15. wiguy94
    Don't think a single pitcher to step on that mound tonight pitched close to their best and they held the best offense in baseball to 1 run. Seriously impressive stuff.
  16. wiguy94
    I hope we don't regret playing Bauers in LF with an extreme flyball guy on the mound
  17. wiguy94
    I think the hope is that they always keep around one guy. Braun was that guy for the 2010's. Yelich is that guy for the 2020's. Maybe Chourio will be that guy for the 2030's. I was kind of hoping Turang could be that guy but the longer he goes without an extension the more unlikely I think one would be.
  18. wiguy94
    He was but if I recall the Brewers paid down his salary to the minimum in that trade so I don't think Cortes was carrying much of any value in that trade. Quintana the prospect was the value going out.
  19. wiguy94
    Until he starts pitching better, I am going to blame the giant lipper he plays with now that he didn't play with before. Is it stupid of me to do that? Yes but I am still going to do it because he looks look an idiot with the giant lipper in while he's on the mound.
  20. wiguy94
    Yeah unfortunately still looks like a guy that doesn’t belong anymore near a big league mound any time soon
  21. wiguy94
    Well good news and bad news. Good news is today has been the best Priester has looked so far on his rehab journey in terms of stuff and command. The bad news is his velo is still down 1-2 ticks from where it was a year ago and he's thrown 18 strikes and 17 balls through 2 innings.
  22. wiguy94
    Yes Cardinals were 25th out of 26 teams in ISO though in the WS the Cardinals had a higher ISO than the Brewers did.
  23. wiguy94
    29, 45, 62 pitches in his first rehab stint. He went 47 pitches in his first start of the second rehab stint. I think the 5 innings is the more unrealistic part than the pitch count. The stuff and command just hasn't been anywhere near good enough to pitch through 5 innings even against minor league talent.

    Brewers pitching in May and MLB ranks 2.21 ERA (1st) next best is 2.56 2.62 xERA (1st) next best is 3.23 2.39 FIP (1st) next best is 3.17 3.12 xFIP (1st) next best is 3.17 30.3% K-rate (1st) next best is 26.4% 8.0% BB-rate (9th) 22.2% K-BB rate (1st) next best is 22.0% .197 BA against (2nd) 1.03 WHIP (1st) next best is 1.04 2.94 SIERA (1st) next best is 3.12 110 Stuff+ (1st) next best is 107 112 Pitching+ (1st) next best is 110 So yeah the Brewers pitching staff has basically dominated in the month of May by basically every metric you could think of. This hasn't been due to having a super easy schedule either. These are the season wRC+ and ranks of the teams we have faced in May. Washington - 109 (5th) St. Louis - 103 (12th) New York - 115 (3rd) San Diego - 89 (28th) Minnesota - 101 (14th) Chicago - 110 (4th) It doesn't get any easier to end the month Los Angeles - 119 (1st) St. Louis - 103 (12th) Houston - 104 (8th)

    Luis Lara has made big strides in his batted ball quality in May. The first picture is his radial chart in April. the second is his radial chart in May. Feel like these do a really good job of showing the better angles Lara his hit the ball at this month. The concentration of pop ups and negative LA ground balls are both much smaller. Here are his expected numbers on contact in April and May April - .251 xBA, .399 xSLG, .279 xwOBA May - .334 xBA, .454 xSLG, .340 xwOBA I feel like this also illustrates why Avg LA is a pretty flawed stat. Lara has the same Avg LA in May that he did in April. In May he has 18 of 50 batted balls between 8 and 32 LA (sweet spot) which is 36% of his batted balls. In April he had 20 of 88 batted balls between 8 and 32 LA which is 23%. For some clarity on what those numbers mean, 36% would be 68th percentile in MLB and 23% would be 2nd percentile in MLB
