    A win and we are 5-2 vs Reds this season, getting the early edge with the tie-breaker, as well.

    Ha! Burnes was not even in our pole, How is he an All Star this year?
  3. rickh150
    Something like hit, walk, hit, double to tie..

    2011 proves the rule… that it is very unlikely, yet possible so that it is news worthy and note worthy. The exception that proves the rule would be like a sign saying you cannot park on the street on Tuesdays from noon to 5:00P.M. This exception on Tuesdays proves the rule that you must be allowed to park there all other times. “Kinda, exactly” is hedging talk.

    Only Yelich…. Just him this year….has a better OPS+ than Hiura did last year. Last year Hiura, folks….And I am talking about Hiura’s wacky MLB time in 2022… being yanked around….Up and down from AAA, in and out of lineup, different positions, pulled late in games, or just giving him a pinch hit at bat. There was a time last year when he went 12-42 (.285 BA, .884 OPS) between June 9 and July 10, 2022. He then was sent down inexcusably. Hiura struggles with defense. Yep. Hiura strikes out too much. Yep. I just assumed that the bat still plays, especially with the DH present!! But there is still that road for him here in 2023. The DH allows a good bat to just hit and not play the field. This bat also isn’t required to bat high in the lineup where superior bats live. Then again, maybe they don’t need any help in the DH area….. Let me check that DH OPS again.

    Great points… not sure why this adds to whatever you are trying to do. That Braves team was 80-55 on Sept. 1……25 games over .500….they then collapse and go 9-18. Crazy. Very unlikely scenarios of a good Cards team getting crazy hot and another very good team getting crazy cold… thus the 1 in 100 odds. Yep, one team to catch, but one team that was 25 games over .500!!! Today, the Cards odds are 3 or 4 times more likely STILL to make the playoffs. Some acting like it is absolutely over…. Like 1 in a million… still boggles me. More like 1 in 25….1 in 30. Do I think this will happen? No. But crazier things have happened….2011 is just one example. Thinking about it, I wonder if the Cards odds of winning World Series Game 6 was EVEN less than this scenerio when they were down by 3 with two outs in the 9th and nobody on… anybody remember that game? Rangers were so close to victory.

    Huh? I agree with fangraphs…saying it’s like a 1 in 20 chance that Cards could still make the playoffs…. Highly unlikely. Others are more like 1 in 100 or 1000… so be it. And then there are a few pridefuls that say there is a 0% chance …. And then when pushed just a little, they immediately abandon their claim and refute that by agreeing that mathematically, of course, that is not accurate. How is my position on this abnormal or unreasonable at all? The 2011 thing happened. You calling it an outlier… yep, I agree. Of course. Crazy odds. This, much more possible, but still extremely unlikely.

    Respectfully, I appreciate your opinions, but I disagree with how Hiura is being not used. He could easily help us at DH with even last year’s numbers. And I’m glad you are fairly cocky today because of Adames’s jacks, but defending him to be top of order bat seems odd to me when you seem cold to even having Hiura bat DH low in order. Those don’t match up for me. But, yeah, go Adames!
  9. rickh150
    Turang….great at bats this week.
  10. rickh150
    Hate the blowing of leads and all, but Brewers baseball is a lot more fun when I actually think we could score runs in each and every inning. These last two weeks of games have been fantastic.
  11. rickh150
    No more than the Reds…. Our pitching is way better.
  12. rickh150
    Nah, not really.
  13. rickh150
    Adames hits middle of our order. Hiura isn’t on the team.
  14. rickh150
    Only one Brewer this year has a better OPS+ than Hiura did last year. Yelich has a better 2023 OPS+ (129) than Hiura’s 2022 OPS+ (114)

    2023 Brewers DH #s to date 29th in OPS ( .601) 29th in BA (.204) 4HRs in 360 PA 35% K rate Hiura’s 2022 MLB DH #s .989 OPS in 98 PA (.765 OPS overall, .866 OPS against RHP in 157 PA) .274 BA, 7HRs, .378 OBP (14 HRs in 266 PA) 41% K Rate Hiura’s 2023 AAA #s .319 BA, 392 OBP, .982 OPS

    And Teheran should be long relief for one of two games; Houser can pitch an inning in a couple of days.
  17. rickh150
    whew…..Big win!
  18. rickh150
    Two games.
  19. rickh150
    Do you realize this is a big series?
  20. rickh150
    Gotta save the pen for…..Monday and Tuesday.
  21. rickh150
    Another fringe guy…letting him blow himself up and then ooff the team.
  22. rickh150
    We are trying to save our pen now? All Star break is in two days… playing with fire here.
  23. rickh150
    One
  24. rickh150
    I tend to agree… but he still is going to drop a bit.
  25. rickh150
    If we buy, I’d like a key bat for this and next year… a FA after 2024 season. If we are trading a Frelick and change,I don’t want a rental. Any 1B, 2B, or 3B fit this?
