  1. How cool is it that you say this on a guy who has 53strikes in 73 pitches and giving up on 1 run in 4IP? If the offense here could just stop watching strikes go by with runners on, and score some runs you'd shrug your shoulders. OK cool, they let a pitch hit them while we avoid 3 that would have. Don't get me wrong, Woodruff's "not best" stuff is still better than most guys best.
  2. Weird that Adames struggles so badly against lefties. I didn't realize til tonight how extreme his reverse splits are, not just this season but his entire career.
  3. Glad we’re not in the East and have to deal with that Braves lineup 20 times a year. But yeah, him and Burnes both struggled. For sure. The Braves lineup is loaded.
  4. Sure looked to me like Soler went around on that 1-2 before smacking a single to center, but thanks to Bally Sports not showing the replay, we'll never know.
  5. My guess is not much. Something around the value of Peyton Henry maybe. He's a rental who is not having a great year by his standards. Whatever we offered was deemed less valuable than a comp pick.
  6. As an aside, it is painful to watch CB Bucknor have zero awareness of where the outside corner actually is. It's tough to be the worst in a profession where basically all of your peers suck too, but Bucknor is up to the task.
  7. Yeah any dude sitting at home with a beer and bag of chips could accurately call probably 90% of pitches correctly. I always thought the tradition of having someone who can't even see the pitch coming in from the right view be the one to call the pitch is pretty silly.
  8. Again, just want to point out that guys like Adames, Escobar, and Tellez were not even options in April and most of May, without even getting into the guys who missed significant time during that time with injury. Comparing the April/May offense to the current offense is apples to oranges.
  9. The Brewers have a good offense. It's hard to objectively see it otherwise. Even if you look at the cumulative, they are at least above average and above everyone in the NL besides the big 3 in the West, the Reds and the Braves. But it's misleading to even look at the cumulative, because many of those April and May lineups featured guys like Shaw, Robertson, McKinney, a couple crappy catchers, Reyes....a lot of guys who either aren't even here anymore or are playing a very insignificant role compared to what they were. Since they acquired Adames and got healthy, it's a completely different lineup, one that's been among the best. I don't really know where the weakness is offensively at full health. Probably CF, but despite their struggles I would think going forward expecting Cain/Bradley to be average offensively is probably reasonable. I would stop short of calling our offense elite, but if Yelich was anywhere close to what we hoped for, it would be.
  10. Maybe we can COVID chain a few more IL stints to September when we get 2 more roster spots and avoid the roster crunch. Only half blue.
  11. Fully expect the Dodgers to claim him now Didn't end up getting anything out of the Orlando Arcia trade. Neither did the Braves really so far either, though.
  12. Why? He was crushing it down there and we lost Vogey. He had to come up to help out. Now that we have the depth, he needs to accept it's been a rough year, go down, and work on achieving goals that can help him be successful going forward. He has the power, the bat speed, etc. He was crushing it for like 20 ABs against a level of pitching that he'll never see here. He was still striking out 40% of the time and there was no clear sign that he had really figured things out.
  13. He shouldn't be back up this year. He shouldn't have been back up at all.
  14. It's an odd stretch, but there will be other stretches where we could use him every day. I'll take the rest whenever he can get it. He'll get plenty of opportunities in September.
  15. I hope the Giants win the West and the Dodgers get outdueled by the Padres on their field and don't even make it out of the play in game. That would be both hilarious and great for baseball.
