    Yep. Still different.

    Both important… but 9th is different. There is a reason team’s best relievers pitch late.
  3. rickh150
    Thanks for bringing this up… almost forgot. Good ol Fangraphs has the Cards odds at 5.7% to make the playoffs…. Still about 4 times more likely to make the playoffs than that 2011 Cards team you are bringing up again on Sept. 1. That team went on to win the WS.

    Pitching the 6th and the 9th when leading by a couple are not close to the same thing…. LoL all you want.

    Earlier in games…
  6. rickh150
    Absolutely.., and Black too.

    Well, in the last week we have seen a couple of questionable bullpen moves late to say the least. Mejia inexcusably being used in a high leverage situation in the 8th is one. Even when he put a guy on in the 8th, CC could have gone with Payamps for 4 outs. Mejia could be good and all, but he is fringe for the time being pitching in a big division game late. The other is Bush and Pannone maddeningly pitching 8th and 9th in Pittsburgh. And now neither is with the Brewers. That is how fringe they were pitching late. I know our pen was used much and often, but I fail to see how these both had to be used late when both could have been used in other less tense bullpen situations earlier in the week. I fail to see why we ever should have fringe, unproven mlb pitchers in these situations (unless extra innings pushes it). Bryce Wilson has only thrown 6 whopping innings since June 22. He could have pitched in more games and longer in a pinch so others are fresh.. And yes, it was a pinch yesterday.. He could have gone longer. I also get that our pen has been through many close games in the last week plus, and that the year is long. I just believe it wouldn’t have taken much to have better pitchers pitching late in both of those games (June 30, July 6). Wilson’s useage and even Bush’s…. he didn’t pitch for 6 days before his debacle… could have put better pitchers in late game situations.

    Batting order matters when it comes to total at bats for the year. 1982 Molitor and Yount batting #8 and #9 would have limited them several dozen at bats, giving them to Charlie Moore and Gumby.. Same thing with 18/19 Yelich. How is this debatable? Of courts batting order matters. Maybe not to the degree some believe, sure, but come now. And also, of course, Hiura is getting the shaft here. There is a DH spot that he could fill regularly here in the NL. The bar is super low and we have several inferior batters to him on the roster. No question that he could be helping us with our weakness.

    Here, here…100% on the nose.

    Check our DH OPS for 2023…
  11. rickh150
    .866 BA against righties… Higher OPS than Adames (our #2 hitter)overall…Yanked around consistently between AAA and MLB, in the order, in the field… opposite of Adames. Still had a better OPS than Adames with inconsistent and spotty playing time. And there is a DH in the NL… not sure if you and CC have heard that yet. You can use it each and every game. Those guys don’t play in the field.
  12. rickh150
    Great series for the drama of baseball…. Wouldnt be surprised if the last three games of season against Cubs mean something,
  13. rickh150
    Just use Hiura’s 2022 MLB stats then…
  14. rickh150
    Stubborn and stupid with Hiura…Unless you believe they are incapable of making a mistake.
  15. rickh150
    So Adames should go down in the order? You agree. Adames .668 OPS should be down in the order? Progress. Hiura should be our DH? You agree? I will spare you our DH OPS and Hiura’s 2022 and 2023 stats.
  16. rickh150
    If they only had the DH in the NL… The comparison lies in the opposite. Adames gets praise and hits high in order everyday; Hiura seems stranded in AAA and yet would be a major upgrade at DH with LAST YEAR’S MLB stats and would desperately fill a DH void. What is our DH OPS again? What does being an elite defender have to do with him being our #3 hitter?
  17. rickh150
    3-4 HR
  18. rickh150
    3-4 HR 3RBI night
  19. rickh150
    It is not anti-anything Brewers. It is going on about a year now where Adames has been putrid with the bat. He plays everyday and bats the heart of the order. I won’t even say his stats in fear of upsetting a few. I will say that Hiura had a two run HR tonight, though. And that Adames’ OPS was almost 100 points higher last year when this thread was started.
  20. rickh150
    If the team has no plans for him whatsoever, he is not in the organization anymore by trade or being let go and his salary is sunk cost. They are being super stupid stubborn now, but I cannot believe that his Brewers future has been set already by Arnold and Counsell.
  21. rickh150
    Hiura 2023 AAA….. .316 AVG, 13 HR, .390 OBP, .975 OPS,
  22. rickh150
    Talking Hiura? Here? Alright!
  23. rickh150
    Hiura pulled for pinch runner Monday.. hurt?
  24. rickh150
    2-4 Sun. 2-4 Mon. .999 OPS
  25. rickh150
