An inch or two outside is outside. So an umpire should only be expected to be able to call pitches that are 6 inches off the plate correctly which any half drunk blowhard sipping Heineken at home could call correctly? Good lord, is this like your first year watching baseball? There is not a human being alive who gets 100% of pitches correct within a few inches of the strikezone, never has been, and never will be either. Cry about it if it makes you feel better I guess. Yeah, let's get sarcastic and personal. Nice reply, I guess when all else fails just insult the other guy. No crap, no one ever said there is a human being alive who gets 100% of calls correct, which is why 90% of us are calling for automated zones.

Given our record, it has seemed like there have been very few walkoff wins.

Keeping Burnes in was kind of dumb. You basically conceded an out to start the bottom of the 5th, for what? Burnes clearly didn't have it tonight. I would have rather saved the pitches on his arm. Sending him back out for the 5th was fine. He should have been PH for to lead off the bottom of the 5th.

Since the beginning of baseball pitches on or near the corner have sometimes been called strikes and sometimes balls. There is no possible way a human being behind home plate will call 100% of those pitches the same way the box on the tv calls them. By taking a borderline pitch, you run the risk of striking out... Thus, "too close to take" They weren't borderline. They were off the plate. Did you see it?

I'm ok with Craig getting himself tossed right about now. This is inexcusable and unfair, and we can't allow the umpires to set the tone for the series.
-
You know who isn't fooled by a good or bad frame job? A robot umpire.
-
Fortunately for him his offensive counterpart is named Jackie Bradley Junior.
-
I'd probably try just because his spot never came up.
-
Shut up about "too close to take", Rock. A ball is a ball. Don't insult a guy for having a good eye and being punished for it.
-
Two balls in that AB to Rowdy called a strike, but you do you, ump.

I have James Robinson in dynasty. With the huge JRob boost on the Etienne injury, should I try to ride the JRob wave this year or try to sell high? Might be able to land someone like Allen Robinson.
-
Yeah. Gotta pick him up with some offense. We know he's done his part this year.
-
I don't even know if I'd send Burnes out for the 5th.
-
Just at least take one. Get swept and you've all of the sudden made things very interesting with no one to blame but yourself. At least win one of three.
-
Great start to this series.
-
This could get ugly in a hurry.
-
Not a good day for Burnes not to have it. Just hoping to get out of this inning tied at this point.
-
Burnes not all that sharp tonight. Leadoff walks will usually get you at some point. Hope he can work out of this.

The struggles of Yelich and Hiura - Let the numbers talk!
adambr2 replied to jonescm128's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Basically where I'm at. In the end, the Brewers have no place to play him in the field, realistically. He'd be of better use to an AL team, unless the DH is in the NL to stay starting next year. Yeah, it sucks, because he was the best hitting prospect we've had in a long time, and when he came up in '19 it looked initially like he was going to be a star. But I was pretty certain in '19 that our near term success was largely dependent on the futures of Hiura and Grisham. I was absolutely certain that any sustained success in '21 was dependent on rebound seasons from Yelich and Hiura. None of those things have really happened and here we are at 76-49 so I have to assume at this point that no matter what happens with Hiura the Brewers are going to figure it out. -

I honestly assumed he'd been DFAed already. -

Hiura needs to start hitting half as good as he was in 2019 and then we'll find a spot for him. Until then, none of this really matters. I would not be at all shocked to see Hiura traded in 2022. In fact, the better he does in AAA may make it all the more likely as they hope for him to reclaim some value. If they don't believe it'll translate again to the bigs, they may as well deal him next year. I know people hate the idea of selling low on him, but he'll burn his last option next year. We can't go into '23 with a guy on the roster who simply can't hit or field. So while he does have a few months to figure it out next season, the clock is ticking faster than many would like to think. -
Renato Nunez as Stopgap RH 1B & 3B
adambr2 replied to edfunderburk's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
He's already accepted a AAA assignment to remain with Detroit. -
Can't believe how bad the Cubs are now. They were in 1st place less than 2 months ago.

Walking is good. OBP heavy OPS is more valuable than SLG heavy OPS. Sure, sometimes you luck into a walk when a pitcher lacks control but for the most part plate discipline is a necessary and valuable baseball skill.
