    I Think I only had 2B throws… 28 for 33.

    I agree… some he had no opportunity to throw a runner out. His arm strength and pop time are both below avg, but his exchange time is average. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/catcher-throwing?game_type=Regular&n=q&season_end=2023&season_start=2023&split=yes&team=&type=Cat&with_team_only=1&sortColumn=seasonal_sprint_speed&sortDirection=desc

    Its not all Contreras fault, but throwing out only 15% of base stealers is not impressive.

    Not going anywhere this deadline…”they’re not selling” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/milwaukee-brewers-theyre-not-selling-031852711.html

    The bridge is burned.

    Yep… and really why have the box on tv? I’d prefer that they didn’t and just use it showing replays of meaningful pitches, like they used to. More maddening now… really could avoid the anger at a 1-0 pitch that should be a ball called as a strike. Umpires would love the change too.
  7. rickh150
    Longer term, yes. But it hurt 2022.

    I have to agree with you… those calls on the edge or just off, how accurate is that zone? Who knows? I am all for R2D2 to be behind the plate. I expect 12-6 curve ball pitchers to be the rave nipping the front bottom and back top of the strike zone (remember everybody, regardless of that 2D zone you see on tv, the strike zone is 3-D). But yeah, tiring of calls 4 inches off plate called strikes.

    Misiorowski…when I heard he was doing well, I decided to check YouTube and see. Talk about a unicorn body and delivery. Throwing upper 90’s regularly on top of it all? I really hate to say this, but he could be helping our pen in September, ala Burns and Woodruff. I would usually say just let the guy be, pitch AA next year and not mess with him, but… I will take him over our other prospects, with Chourio being a close #2. Quero is our best defensive catcher in the organization. I wouldn’t even think of shopping him, no matter what Contreras does in the next few years. So great to have this guy sitting in top prospect lists… a good catching prospect with the Brewers?

    We even have a 26 man roster now (since 2020) instead of 25, and we still hear the defensive thing for a quality bat at DH!
  11. rickh150
    Take all his stats then… include 2019 if you are going to take 2020. Or take ALL of his MLB 2022 stats. You don’t want to compare those though. That doesn’t fit. Or take what he has done at AAA for what two or three years. I understand his Spring Training was bad. I would have had a tough time putting him up to start the season, but I probably would because he would have hit DH for me in 2022. So yes, of course you cherry-pick stats. I do too.
  12. rickh150
    Mismanaged to the extreme in 2022… never given a shot at DH… hit .274 as DH last year with .949 OPS in in 98 PA… what screams dont continue letting this guy hit DH?
  13. rickh150
    It’s a double standard by many here… you can’t defend being against Hiura with offensive stats, whether this year or last. When you try, you realize over half the team fails that standard too. It’s a gotcha. His bat of course has to play on this group of Perkins, Jones, Tapia, Winker.. let’s just say Hiura was a CC favorite and hit 2022 stats at DH this first half. Would there be a call to get rid of Hiura? The ol boys club here, with CC as unquestioned leader, would fight tooth and nail for anyone daring to question CC’s decisions. It’s getting to be like the emperor has no clothes with keeping Hiura down and giving others time here first on this DH OPS worst struggling offensive team.
  14. rickh150
    Hader was still better the last 6 weeks of the season… lights out. Rodgers, not so much. We blew more saves than anyone in August and September… he was a major part.
  15. rickh150
    Last season, though….Tough to say when his presence last season could have put us in the playoffs.
  16. rickh150
    Disagree on all fronts… not even sure how to respond. Just putting up his 2022 #s helps us obviously if he plays DH five times a week.
  17. rickh150
    Peralta, Burnes, and Miley
  18. rickh150
    5-2 against Cincy; 4-2 against Cubs
  19. rickh150
    At what point do the Padres make Hader available? 9 games out of WC AND three teams ahead of them in division. He’s gone at deadline if this holds somewhat.
  20. rickh150
    Fangraphs- Brewers at 53% and Reds at 41% for making playoffs today. That third playoff spot likely keeps both about same regardless of what happens today. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds-graphs
  21. rickh150
    I’ll go with my interpretation. https://proofed.com/writing-tips/exception-that-proves-the-rule/#:~:text=For example%2C if you see,outside of the library”).
  22. rickh150
    You lost me with the pigs….. what am I pining for exactly? Saying the Cards have 4% odds of making the playoffs?
  23. rickh150
    Agreed. The Mindset to simply have him “play” the position of DH regularly and consistently is not there with the Brewers or seemingly most teams. His defensive liabilities, bad spring, and Winker’s presence have cost him here and/or elsewhere.
  24. rickh150
    If we cannot ignore the “previous 500 or so at bats”, then let’s go all the way back in his career and take the whole shabang… Minors career OPS .993 MLB career OPS .771 Brewers 2023 DH MLB .601 OPS (Hiura DH in 2022-.949 OPS)
  25. rickh150
    Nope. Not zero chance. We can go with Winker. I would go with Hiura. I would be ok with going with both actually…Tapia or Perkins can go.
