    I have to say, these last 3-4 games have been some of my favorite in recent memory. Just the certainty with which they play. I also have to say, and I’m not necessarily complaining, that this ump has favored the Crew to a near absurd amount today. I’m surprised Baltimore isn’t chirping more at him.
  2. Sugarrayray
    The entire team has a higher ops than probably any player under the last four years of the Counsell area. And yea, I think it has a lot to do with him not having influence anymore.

    Yeah and I’m tired of these announcers trying to say Willy brings an aggressive edge or whatever. He’s like the nicest most friendly guy in the league, Mccann tried to talk down to him and point in his chest for no specific reason and Willy didn’t back down? Great, as he shouldn’t have. But why aren’t they talking about Mccanns inexplicable behavior?

    The Sanchize….. :)))

    It seems like its going to clear up late in the evening tomorrow. You don’t think they’ll just wait til then instead of reschedule? I’m hoping they stick it out.
  6. Sugarrayray
    Hmmm 🤔

    Is anyone else confused that Ortiz, who is supposed to be a defensive wizard at short, can’t make good throws from third? I mean this is getting ridiculous how often he is spiking it.
  8. Sugarrayray
    I’m seriously starting to get pissed about these throws. It like Contreras said, stop letting De La Cruz and other guys scaring you into bad throws. Especially for a veteran leader like Adames who has a hose. Fortunate Haskins wasn’t playing.

    Sorry man. Wish there was some way to help.

    Feeling good about the start of the game so don’t want to be negative, but I am starting to have serious concerns about Ortiz’s throwing actions from 3rd base. Sometimes those shorter guys end up throwing low from long throes to first, but that throw to Turang just now was way too low for exactly no reason. And the other night was putrid.

    Hot damn, I love articles like this!

    I was always very pleased when he used his four seam on occasion last year. If My recall is correct, he did only throw it rarely but upped its usage noticeably with 2 strikes. Even the if pitch metrics forecast limitations, I was very disappointed to see they just had him ditch it. He throws it harder than his sinker and it plays much differently up in the zone, as stated in the article. I will never understand ditching a quality pitch BEFORE it gets hit hard. I think it should be proven over a solid sample size first. Hopefully they correct the error of their ways shortly. They almost always do when it comes to pitching. Great read by the way. Thanks.

    Great response. I will not be saying or spelling his name correctly until his play earns my respect 😁

    Yes terrible swing at ball 4 but I think that ump would’ve called ball 5 a strike. He gave the Reds pitching almost every 50/50 call tonight and then some.

    Really disappointed in Rhys Haskins. Also in Willy going back to his old ways and only going for homeruns tonight. Is anybody as surprised as me by Frelick’s absolute fear of attempting to steals bases? He should have done it earlier because Ashcraft is relatively slow to homeplate, but boy if he had taken second just now, it would have changed the entire at bat for Haskins.

    The issue with Hall seems to be, due to his staggering drop in velo over the past 2 years, he still thinks he can pitch throwing his fastball over the plate. I know his fastball has a good profile, but obviously not at this speed. And I don’t want to hear anybody say its about going from the bullpen to starting; he was drafted as a starting pitcher and was always mid to high 90s as a STARTER. Pitching in the bullpen is a relatively new development in his career. Now he appears to have below average fastball velo, and even when he has the batter behind in the count, he’s pitching to contact with his fastball. That needs to change. I know that long inning he had a lot of bad luck, a ton actually, but it is downright STUNNING how he simply cannot get swing and miss when he needs it. I imagine he is relatively mentally weak, and a bullpen roll is a much better fit so he doesn’t have to think so much and can just let it rip. I think one Murph’s worst decision this season so far (in an otherwise good decision making performance) catching Gary Sanchez instead of William is a terrible move for someone like Hall who is going to need a ton of coaching throughout the game, and not have phantom passed balls and the like. Someone like Rea or Miley will be able to deal with Sanchez’s short comings much better.

    Never mind, just saw him introduced!!!!!

    Hey everybody I’m sorry in advance because I’m not sure what thread to post this in, but I have a question that needs answering and I thought this would fit under miscellaneous. Does anyone know what happened to Matt Erickson? I read a couple months ago that he was going to continue working as the infield coordinator for the Brewers under Murph, but now I can’t find him listed on the team website or anyone else for that matter. He’s been with the org so long I can’t imagine he’d be let go so unceremoniously. Any thoughts or knowledge? Thanks.
  20. Sugarrayray
    This is an odd question and I’m not really sure if it falls under “transactions” but I wasn’t sure where to put it. Does anyone know what happened to Matt Erickson? I remember reading a few months ago he was going to continue being the infield coordinator under Murph. However, now I cannot find him listed as a coach on the Brewers website, or any other for that matter. Thanks.

    Thank you so much Jamie.

    Yes I believe surgery is only required if it is a chronic problem. So in this case, a one time subluxation is more of a rest and PT deal. Obviously my knowledge is quite limited. Either way, so far, and with cautious optimism, this looks less significant than what Garrett Mitchell had to deal with last year. That’s good news.
  23. Sugarrayray
    Brilliant.
  24. Sugarrayray
    Completely. And his slider is having full breaking downward tilt that looks fantastic.
  25. Sugarrayray
    Does anyone think Hall’s velo is down because its cold and windy? Some guys famously can’t get loose completely until the weather heats up. Part of me thinks he’s purposely trading velo for control but man 90-92 is pretty low for him. Ump has given him no help plus screwed him a couple times.
