  1. I really am not of a fan of swinging 3-0 particularly with bats like Pablo Reyes and Luis Urias.
  2. Lots bought them when he debuted...they didn’t stay out of the closet long. My brother bought a game used bat of Arcia’s after his 2017 season for his mancave thinking it was a sign of things to come since he was only 22. The laughs we’ve gotten from the bat the last few years I still have a Jean Segura jersey in my closet. Thought he was going to be a longtime stud here.
  3. I still like Taylor, and that was a big hit the other day, but the honeymoon is definitely over.
  4. Brewers had a lower level prospect that that happened to a couple years ago. Thankfully, I believe he survived and made a full recovery.
  5. So what you are saying is that is either a false narrative, or we simply haven't developed enough big time guys. I mean I guess when you dig deeper, we really haven't. We developed Braun and Fielder. Kept Braun, lost Fielder (which was good that we did). We kept Ben Sheets and Yovani Gallardo around throughout their primes if that counts for anything.
  6. I thought Tucker was acquired to help tighten up this defense. Feels like we've been giving up 200 a game lately.
  7. I wouldn't say nothing is happening. Davante said today that he'll have to reconsider his future in Green Bay if Rodgers isn't there. So that's nice to hear.
  8. Man, if I could time travel I would have a lot more fun than that.
  9. Yeah I know. Just using him as an example of who I wouldn't want to see in extras. Or in most other innings….am,I right? , Yes, correct.
  10. I was surprised to see us ranked 16th for RP in MLB going into today That's about what I'd expect to see right now. The good ones have been generally very good and the bad ones have been very bad.
  11. No, I don’t take it as snark. To that point you’re right that I don’t have the probability tables sitting in front of me, but it would be a fascinating analysis to see someone produce. Still, I’m fairly confident a high strikeout and extremely low WHIP pitcher like Hader is much more valuable in a scenario where a runner starts on 2B with no outs versus an inning earlier when no runners start on base. Anyway, I am glad they pulled it out, a much needed win. I'm in your camp, but I do feel Rasmussen is probably a solid extra inning option as a 12.5K/9 guy. I still would probably line them up like you do, but I'm a lot more understanding about it than I would be if they used Hader in the 9th and a pitch to contact guy like Eric Yardley in the 10th.
  12. I am in the Eye Black camp and think strikeout pitchers are an efficiency for extra innings given the rules. However, to be fair, Rasmussen is a big time strikeout pitcher. Just not on the level of Hader, but who is? Anyway, great work by Rasmussen who looks like he's starting to develop into a nice 4th option out of the pen after a rough start to the season.
  13. With 2 outs they're just throwing to 1st. I think most fans understand reasoning behind sending a guy with 1 out. You don't count on getting a 2 out hit unless it's a laser and the guy would be an absolute dead duck. I guess I’m under the thinking that if you’re struggling to score runs and get key hits, then why not try to force the issue? It takes a perfect throw and tag to get him. Right. I agree with you. You have better odds there of not getting thrown out at home than getting a hit with 2 outs. And a bonus that they don't even retire anyone if you're safe. And even if you get thrown out at home you still have 2 runners on with 2 outs. It was the exact right situation to send a guy. And as it turns out, that decision may loom large today.
  14. With 2 outs they're just throwing to 1st. I think most fans understand reasoning behind sending a guy with 1 out. You don't count on getting a 2 out hit unless it's a laser and the guy would be an absolute dead duck. There is almost no downside to sending him. Even if Shaw is thrown out you still have 2 out and 2 on and Urias can still bring in a run with a hit. The upside is you might score and runs are at a premium. It was 100% a bad call.
  15. The problem is you don’t know the throw is going to be nowhere close when you have to make the decision…… No, you don't, which is why you have to base those decisions on the situation. 0 out, you should probably hold. But, probably not with 1 out.
