    This is getting absolutely ridiculous for Biloxi.

    Unpopular opinion: Pat Murphy isn’t special and doesn’t really do anything for the club as far as adding wins. He’s fine, and he’s a good players’ advocate type guy and this probably kind of evens out his deficiencies in tactical game decisions, I guess. He's having similar success to what Counsell did in this era. And if they replaced him with Weeks tomorrow the Brewers would still win 90-100 games under Weeks. It’s just more of an organizational thing and the manager is just sort of the personality that happens to be along for the ride.

    Two games which could very easily end up being the H2H tiebreaker for the number 2 seed and a first round bye down the line.

    I’ll give you two major differences. 1) their bullpen is flat out better. That was essentially the difference today. 2) they don’t have to resort to a Joey Ortiz or Blake Perkins in their starting lineup when someone throws a LHP at them.

    4-6 in their last 10. Not a disaster, but not great baseball lately.

    No you’re right. They swept us. To the original point — when it mattered, we were not in their league. We did not look like we belonged on the same field. Because we did not address weaknesses on our roster during the season and came in with a playoff roster that could not hope to compete against them.
  7. adambr2
    Sorry, do you mean the regular season sweep that the Dodgers regularly sleepwalk their way through because they know they can, or the playoff sweep when they actually start to take things seriously and subsequently made us look like a High A farm league team?

    They threw Miz and Harrison at them. Of course they weren’t going to lose by a bunch. But they still got outplayed by a better team. They may lose by 8 tomorrow.

    Holy small sample size. Serious contending teams still aren’t starting a .157 hitter for three straight games, even if he had a randomly oscillating non-awful small stretch of hitting.
  10. adambr2
    Not in Atlanta’s league. We threw our two best starters at them and couldn’t take one game. Keep throwing unserious players like Perkins, Frelick, and Ortiz against elite teams and you’re not going to win.

    Ashby is lucky that that Albies didn’t hit that hanger 475 feet.
  12. adambr2
    Well then the Brewers commentators are wrong.

    Glad it didn’t matter. 2 more

    It’s the 9th inning. Why wouldn’t Murphy challenge that? That’s literally a free out.
  15. adambr2
    Nothing good ever comes out of bringing Sal Frelick in the game. Can't wait for him to come up in the 10th in a huge spot instead of Vaughn.
  16. adambr2
    No, it could not, as there are too many tied results in more than 4 groups to produce more than 8 six point third place teams, which in itself would already be a practical impossibility. It is all academic now as the US has clinched the group.

    How much $$ to throw a roof over Keesler Federal Park in Biloxi? Good grief.
  18. adambr2
    Yes, I agree with a lot of this. He has small holes and they are willing to let him work through that because the current player and the player from the last two seasons is still really, really good. In fact I think the fact that he is still has some imperfections at 22 tells you how great his upside really is and it’s exciting to think what he’ll be doing at 25.

    Genuine question - why do you manufacture arguments against positions that you know not a single person has tried to make as last resorts in debates? It doesn’t establish credibility. It does the opposite. You know full well what’s been said and what’s not been said. Thing is, I probably agree with a lot more of your posts than most others. So what is the problem with just genuinely looking at facts presented to you rather than digging in your heels and just dishing out passive aggressive strawman arguments? You took the position that someone who had a better rookie season by WAR than Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, and Rickie Weeks combined, was rushed up to the bigs. Based on a great play by the Braves, and nothing rational. You were rightfully presented opposing rational arguments on why that wasn’t the case. But instead of listening to anyone you just dug in and chose to die on the hill.
  20. adambr2
    Whatever it takes I guess, because holy hell this is one crazy hill to die on.

    In late 1977, Robin Yount was the exact same age as Jackson Chourio is now in years and days. At that time, Yount had accumulated 6.9 WAR in his career, Jackson has accumulated 7.9 WAR so far. And Yount had already completed 4 seasons. He was “rushed” up to the big leagues at 18 years old. I mean Jackson has accomplished things that literally no Brewer in history had accomplished by his age. I have no idea how this is even a discussion.
  22. adambr2
    Both his baserunning and defense grade out as above average. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jackson-chourio/28806/stats/batting so in SPITE of having things to work on the other non-hitting parts of his game already grade out at an acceptable level with room to improve.

    The damning truth is that as long as Mitchell is healthy, Frelick just isn’t a great fit to be on the MLB roster right now. He doesn’t have a skill set that plays well off the bench. Mitchell is better in just about every regard as a starter. So you’re left with a starter who doesn’t do anything particularly well and even with the matchup he wasn’t a great option off the bench in the 8th. With Lara signed long-term and no service time considerations anymore, there’s nothing left other than MLB track record to continue with Frelick up over Lara, and even that argument is losing steam quickly.

    Who called him a perfect player? no one said he is. That’s a strawman argument. He is not perfect. He does have aspects of his game that are still in the development and improving stages. None of that means he was rushed up to the bigs or did anything wrong in the 9th inning.
  25. adambr2
    A 3 hopper but right on the money. Contreras following with a completely non-competitive AB makes the decision look better. As much as I like Vaughn, I’ll take the chance of a throw anywhere offline from the outfield over him coming through with an 2 out hit against Iglesias. That’s a really tough matchup.
