Classy White Sox fans, pointing and laughing at Cain.

All that success in May and you start off June by potentially losing a series to the worst team in baseball. What a hanger.
-
Wow. What an annoying series.
-
Cubs win again. Mets can't hit themselves out of a wet paper bag.
-
Too close to call. Don't see them reversing it, looks like a classic Call Stands.
-
Good times. Feels like another game in which we should be up 5-1.
-
Can't walk a couple in an inning and expect to get away with it. Just can't do it.

Link Report for Sunday 6/3 - Timber Rattlers Double Dip
adambr2 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Maybe I missed it, but the promotion of Feliciano seems like it was a very quiet one and is even somewhat surprising. How many teenagers do you see in A+? -
Seems vaguely familiar, pitched with the Astros I think?
-
Well, you have a right to your opinion, I just think its antiquated and I'm glad that Counsell has bought into more modern strategies. Another thing you're disregarding is that the the starting rotation we have is not particularly good and the bullpen, by your own admission, is very talented. So you're literally preferring them to take away innings from the much more talented group and giving them to the less talented arms. If they followed that strategy and leaned heavily on our starters we'd likely not be much over .500. The pen is an enormous part of why we're 37-22. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. We're not starting games with Chris Sale and Corey Kluber. Our best arms by far are in the pen.

Good seeing Taylor work out of a big jam. Confidence booster.
-
It's both talent and management, obviously. And you honestly think they go with short starts just for the sake of short starts? Come on now. There is always a start here or there where I would have stuck with the starter another batter or two, and in general I don't like seeing Logan at all right now, but with these results you're STILL not buying into how the pitching staff is managed? Really?! There is ridiculous amounts of data and analytics that go into these philosophies. Brought to you by the guys who have pretty much pushed all the right buttons since the rebuild began. I guarantee you that they have a long-term plan, for this season and beyond. They are not just doing this day by day until the middle of August when the pen falls apart and they say, "Oh crap, now what?" Would you be happier if we were 30-28 and we were losing a lot of 4-3 and 5-4 games when our starter gives up 2-3 runs in the 6th or 7th when they run out of gas?
-
If he can improve his command there's a chance Taylor Williams could be another major weapon in this pen by the end of the season.
-
Congrats to them. I'll take our overall body of work over theirs. Point being, short starts are clearly an organizational philosophy, we can see that by now. And it's worked very well.
-
Potentially Hader could still be available tomorrow if needed by pulling him now. Good call.
-
No need to use Hader anymore today at all.
-
If only we could manage our pen more like the White Sox.
-
Maybe not shovel the dirt on Aguilar just yet.
-
Bout 1 inning too late on the hook, Renteria.
-
Really not fair to the pen for them to have to hang on for dear life every night.
-
Opposing teams probably ought to just intentionally walk the first two batters in any inning and then watch us self-destruct.
-
On the verge of pissing away yet another golden scoring opportunity.
-
I have always assumed Thames would take back his role anyway when he returns. Can't bench Thames vs. RHP. Or you shouldn't anyhow.
-
Mentioned this lastnight. He's been swinging wildly at bad pitches lately. What did I miss? Just following Gameday but says he walked in his first AB...
-
Well, that's enough for me tonight.
