    Lots of self inflicted garbage in this game. Frelick's probably cost them a run, as did Lockridge.
  2. hoosier
    Meh, you can hate him during the game, just remember after that it was a game.
  3. hoosier
    Way too many backwards Ks in this game
  4. hoosier
    Jeez, runner on third with one out, hate to give that away.
  5. hoosier
    Crap. And definitely not the guy I was hoping to see take his place if he had to miss extended time.
  6. hoosier
    Nope, my bad, was somehow misremembering his outing as Tuesday not Weds.

    Sounds like a Mizz Rodriguez piggy back on Sunday. Better that than Miss Piggy, I suppose.

    Why only focus on the player's finances? What about the owners? Are they showing loyalty to the team or to the game when they pinch pennies and collude to keep salaries around the league artificially low? Adames had to make his own decisions, but had he chosen to give the Brewers a major home team discount, he would be doing a huge disservice to his fellow players by accepting a sub market contract that would invariably be used by other owners to their own advantage. I was happy for Adames that he got his--he earned every penny of it--and am quite confident most Brewer fans will give him a warm welcome tonight.

    Calling up Zamora to fill Joey's shoes (assuming he goes to 10 day IL) would require a 40 man roster move. If the absence is projected to be longer than two weeks that might make sense, but then who do you dump from the 40? Dunn? Berroa? Or have they seen enough of Easton McGee to feel comfortable jettisoning him? Hopefully the scan delivers better news and none of this matters.
  10. hoosier
    That was my question as well. Didn't get to watch it so have no idea if IL is a likely outcome, but since they cannot add a 14th pitcher my guess would be Tyler Black. He looked good in his limited opps in Cincy, and they don't have another MI on the 40.

    Good point, and the one bright spot from this otherwise forgettable day!

    Bunt success rates are actually up a tick since 2022, now close to 67% as compared to 60% back when pitchers got to hit. That's probably because they've now removed the worst offenders from the picture and only guys who are accomplished at it are asked to do it. My experience was limited, but I would rather try to lay down a bunt on a sweeping curve ball than on the high heat.

    I should have fact checked before responding. Turns out Andrew Monasterio DOES know how to bunt! 31 successful bunts in his professional career, 26 of em in the minors and 5 overseas, in his ten year career. So he can do it, he just didn't do it today. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=monast000and

    I don't disagree with the principle. My question is, how does a guy whose hit tools are substandard at this level get to this point without ever being asked to learn that craft? This is one example among so many of how the obsession with the long ball is happening to the detriment of the game. If Monestario, like so many thousands of mediocre hitters who came before him, were able to lay down a bunt, the Brewers are a heavy favorite to tie it up or take the lead in the 8th.
  15. hoosier
    Well I guess it doesn't matter since apparently nobody can hit the *&^% baseball today.
  16. hoosier
    Capra if he can bunt. Or Hoskins and then move him to first, Bauers to LF and Frelick to 3rd. Gotta capitalize with first and second and no outs.
  17. hoosier
    Why is Monestario hitting here???
  18. hoosier
    Thank you. I stumbled across this site a couple of weeks ago, like what I see in the way of thoughtful, informed commentary.

    While the bats and the baserunning have been great, one concern I have so far is the bullpen. The struggles of Uribe and Peguero have been the most visible, and both have been unlucky so far with BABIPs in the .350 range (or maybe they're just serving up a lot of hard hit balls?). The guys who are having success so far--Payamps, Hudson, Milner--have all been comparatively lucky, with BABIPs at or well below the Mendoza. So you have to wonder, is that early season success sustainable? Bullpen success is the hardest thing to predict from year to year, and three weeks isn't enough to draw any real conclusions from. But the concern is there and it makes following their games a little more nerve wracking.
