    Yeli unfortunately is looking super washed again. Hope he somehow figures it out before the postseason because you know the Brewers are going to start him because his name is Christian Yelich.

    The Gasser who was fresh off TJ and looked like a shell of what he does right now?
  3. wiguy94
    Stuff looked good. When he was locating they didn't do anything. The three hits all came on pitches that missed the target by over a foot. Two FB wanted up thrown down in the zone and a slurve wanted outside thrown inside.
  4. wiguy94
    How can you say that about Gasser but not May who has been miles worse than Gasser these last two months???
  5. wiguy94
    It's a joke becuase Jopal said that May was giving the Brewers exactly what they needed.
  6. wiguy94
    Dustin May continues to give the Brewers exactly what they wanted when they traded for him

    Riley O'Brien made the ASG over Trevor Megill as well. Megill - 2.76 ERA, 2.72 xERA, 1.89 FIP, 28 saves O'Brien - 4.14 ERA, 4.95 xERA, 3.96 FIP, 37 saves I think it's one of the reasons why you should take into consideration underlying stats for the ASG because a lot of guys can have flukey half seasons and make the ASG. Now just because you had good underlying stats doesn't mean you will continue it in the second half but I think someone with good underlying stats is more likely to carry over success to the second half than a guy playing way above his underlying stats.

    You'd think Misiorowski is probably on some sort of a pitch count today. It's his first start on 4 days rest since early July.
  9. wiguy94
    Yes Freddy has been miles better than May post deadline. May - 5.40 ERA, 6.22 xERA, and 4.71 FIP Freddy - 3.60 ERA, 3.89 xERA (will be lower after today), and 4.00 FIP And Freddy has thrown 18.1 more innings than May as well so not only has he crushed him rate wise he’s crushed him volume wise as well.
  10. wiguy94
    I’m not even sure what this means. Freddy has been miles better than May and cost a lot less. Why would their fans be mad? Why would Brewers fans think the guy with a 5.40 ERA, 6.22 xERA, and 4.71 FIP has been anything other than terrible?
  11. wiguy94
    And his one run allowed was off a cheap triple on what should have been a can of corn in right field but the RF lost the ball in the Sun. That’s a tough loss for him. Feel like he certainly pitched better between him and Gasser but baseball is a game where the better pitcher doesn’t always wins
  12. wiguy94
    I’d say the gap defensively is pretty big if we are specifically talking about the present. Sal has looked really off defensively this year and don’t think you can trust his arm at this point. Feel like the starting spot is still up for grabs with 7 games to go and neither of them are doing a good job seizing the starting spot.
  13. wiguy94
    I never said Dustin May and some anonymous AAA shuttle arm were interchangeable so no idea why you're coming at me with that. You said May who has been terrible as a Brewer has been exactly what the Brewers needed and I'm calling that rubbish. If this is all they needed they would have traded for a Civale or Montas type arm. It absolutely was a massive package. Frias is a consensus Top 100 prospect. Acting like he's nothing because he's in A ball is being contrarian to be contrarian.
  14. wiguy94
    I'm sorry but the idea May has been exactly what the Brewers needed is hilarious. He's been awful both in terms of actually pitching well and in terms of giving length. Even if you throw out the 1 out performance where he got hurt on the come backer he's been averaging well below 5 innings a start. If this was all the Brewers needed they wouldn't have traded a massive package and instead would have given up a couple lottery tickets for a random Joe Schmoe inning eater.
  15. wiguy94
    Because of frame rates being so low back when Caldwell pitched, you would need to time a lot of his pitches to have a good feel for the actual velo. Tangotiger talked about this a couple weeks ago because someone was trying to compare a side by side of an older pitcher with a current pitcher.
  16. wiguy94
    Yes undoubtedly or at least the average velo.
  17. wiguy94
    2008 was the start of the pitch tracking era where we have accurate pitch level data. The average FB velo in 2008 was 91.9mph. The average FB velo in 2026 is 94.8mph so up nearly 3mph in just the last 18 years. Anything before that we can't say for certain. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=FF|&hfGT=R|&hfSea=2026|2025|2024|2023|2022|2021|2020|2019|2018|2017|2016|2015|2014|2013|2012|2011|2010|2009|2008|&player_type=pitcher&group_by=league-year&min_pitches=0&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=pitches&sort_order=desc&chk_stats_velocity=on#results

    The roster move was yesterday (Colton Gordon)
  19. wiguy94
    Yeah feel like it's pretty much going to be May and Gasser in games 3 and 4 with the shortest leashes imaginable. As soon as they show signs of struggle then pen will get warming whether it's the 2nd inning or the 4th inning.
  20. wiguy94
    Even if he could handle it mentally, I don't think there's enough time to stretch him out by the NLDS. It's two weeks away. He hasn't gone more than 7 outs since July 3rd and his highest pitch count since the start of July is 47.
  21. wiguy94
    It's hard for me to trust the stuff metrics when he's sitting on a 23% K-rate on the year with average-ish contact suppression. If the stuff is so good why is it not translating into either more strikeouts or better contact suppression? One of my slight worries when we traded for him was how much of his success FIP wise was on the back of his HR suppression at Busch. He gave up 0.13 HR/9 at Busch as a Cardinal and 1.31 on the road as a Cardinal. Busch by statcast park factors is hardest park to hit HR at in MLB. As a Brewer he's sitting at 1.42 HR/9 which is pretty close to his road number as a Cardinal. You're probably right that they are going to have to just keep rolling him out there with a super short leash in October but as a fan, I don't know how you can feel good about him on the mound based on what he's done this year. Outside of Busch Stadium he's rocking an ERA around 6.00
  22. wiguy94
    Can you even trust May to go 3-4 innings? Feel like he's prone to blow at any moment.
  23. wiguy94
    The playoff races are pretty lame this year. The NL feels like the 6 playoff teams are already locked in and all that's left is a battle between us and LA for the 1 seed and then a battle between Chicago, Philly, and San Diego for 4-5-6 seeding. There's a bit more action in the AL but it's hardly exciting watching a bunch of .500 teams fight for playoff spots because none of these teams look like they belong in the playoffs.
  24. wiguy94
    He's 7th on the team in PA since he came off the IL in early May. This idea he's barely played is just not true. Yeah he doesn't play everyday but that's largely because one of the best hitting 1B in MLB is also on the Brewers.
  25. wiguy94
    Hilarious comment. Yeah Vaughn probably can't wait to leave Milwaukee the place where he's turned around his career.
