    Joe Barry has so far seen the Detroit Lions and a Brees'less Saints offense that was absolutely shut down in their only other game. Imagine what his defense will look like when it goes up against a competent offense.

    Again, there's a reason the rest of the league didn't want anything to do with King. What do we see in these guys? Unfathomably stupid move by Gute to bring him back.
  3. adambr2
    We got the Central won, no worries there. I'm on board with not seeing the Cardinals in the playoffs, though.
  4. adambr2
    Sustaining a sub .500 OPS for a full season as a full time player is almost unfathomable.
  5. adambr2
    Urias!
  6. adambr2
    Right down main street and Yelich pops it up. Familiar sight from a once great player.
  7. adambr2
    Carolina absolutely just torching the team that made us look like a complete joke last week.

    Can somebody please give some credit to Manny Pina? Perfect backup catcher. A 104 OPS+ and great defense, a 1.4 WAR and 12 HRs in just 159 ABs. All for a guy people were looking to replace a couple months ago when he was performing well under his career norms.

    I guess when you're 800 games out of first place you have to enjoy the little things like pimping your solo shots.
  10. adambr2
    Definitely not Burnes' best night and he did not seem to be on the same page with Pina on a few occasions. Nice job grinding through 6 without too much damage.
  11. adambr2
    That's strike 3 by a ton. That's a call a roboump doesn't miss.

    It's always been difficult the last few years to see the Dodgers in the World Series instead of us, but it will be even more so this year if it happens, wondering what would have been if Scherzer had come here instead of L.A.
  13. adambr2
    Wait, is this theoretical or you actually talking about how poorly they're playing now? Because if it's the latter..........I don't really now what to say. I'm hoping (and assuming) it's the former. He was definitely referring to 'IF' we were to get swept by the Cardinals and are performance at that point. Not right now, as of September 16th. Yes, correct. It was based on the hypothetical of losing 6 out of 7 to the Cardinals coming true.
  14. adambr2
    So close. If he's called out it probably stands and it's a 5-4 deficit and not a 7-5 lead.
  15. adambr2
    Yes!
  16. adambr2
    Jace has 2000 MLB plate appearances that show that he's a marginal player. It was just kind of a matter of time before he came back to earth. JBJ on the other hand .. .wow. Never could I have imagined he would be this bad.
  17. adambr2
    Ashby is a perfect fit for how we like to use our pitchers in the playoffs. He'll be asked to go 3 to 4 innings somewhere, whether it be to close a game or start or work right in the middle.
  18. adambr2
    Quit your barking Bote. It was a fantastic pitch.
  19. adambr2
    Some really impressive defense on display tonight.
  20. adambr2
    Well this looks like another dud. They need to start playing better baseball.
  21. adambr2
    Pay Willy Adames whatever he wants to stay here forever because for some reason this offense is elite when he's in it and an albatross when he's not.
  22. adambr2
    I guess it depends on if you think we're getting post or pre all-star break Yelich. Or maybe some combination. His post break OBP is only .309. Now that he's not being pitched around his OBP is dropping accordingly. I don't think he's among the top 2 guys most likely to get on base at this point in the season. I disagree. You go with the full season or multi season sample. No doubt that Yelich is slumping right now, but when will he break out of his slump? Tomorrow? Next week? Never? Maybe he will never be a .430 OBP guy again, but if there's been one consistent characteristic of Yelich it's his OBP. Even going back to his Miami days. Even to the untrained eye it's clear that Yelich's problems are mostly related to his swing. Which honestly is one of the better problems to have (assuming the swing issues are not related to injury, which they might be). In theory it's correctable. Just two weeks ago he was scorching everything he saw, although his launch angle tends to be less-than-ideal. It's been 2 seasons now. It's not really a slump anymore. Sure, the multi-season sample matters, but recency matters too. The power has disappeared even more than last season. There isn't much left besides the OBP, which is still less than his career averages and way less than '18 and '19. It's very likely that the larger sample size of his career averages which included his two years that now look like the exception, are not indicative of what we can expect moving forward.
  23. adambr2
    Why would you bat Yelich behind JBJ? Yelich, for all his struggles this year, has still been far more useful in his ABs than JBJ. I don't think the issue is that he lacks the fire to do better.
  24. adambr2
    Yeah Escobar is basically the full time 1B in the playoffs I think. Rowdy for defense late and Rowdy/Vogelbach off the bench.
  25. adambr2
    I would agree with this to a degree. I think even Burnes will have a much shorter leash in the postseason than regular season. We can't exactly afford to leave a starter in to get beaten up for 6 runs in 4 innings. That's literally punting a game. With Houser/Ashby doing so well, I'm hoping we'll have those guys ready to go as soon as the starters stumble. Lauer, he's performed so darn well I think he's forced his way into starting game 4. Yep. 2021, OPS against Burnes per time through the order: 1st: .434 2nd: .394 3rd: .803 Shorter outings are generally better, even for your horses. That's why I'm not too concerned with what the playoff "rotation" is. They'll try to get 27 outs as best and efficiently as they can and I think that's how they'll approach it. Some of it might even evolve and be situation dependent. For example, if you're up 6-0 in Game 1 after 5 and Burnes is at 57 pitches, what do you do? Do you pull the plug there and maybe get him back a game sooner? Do you ride him as long as possible and try to save as many of the others as you can? A lot of different scenarios that I'm sure they are discussing.
