That patient, contact oriented offense has scored 55 less runs than our reckless hackers. I'll take the 288 runs over 233 regardless.
-
Well...it could have been worse. But it certainly could have been a lot better.
-
Yeah, not excusing Hiura at all. But you still need to buckle down and make pitches. He's come completely unraveled, against the bottom of the Pirates' order.
-
Really bad pitch at a really bad time.
-
Correct. Enormous difference between mutual option and team option. You could probably count on one hand how many mutual options you can think of being exercised.

Cubs have interest in Kimbrel.

Link Report for Friday 5/31 - TGIF!
adambr2 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Wilkerson is your classic AAAA pitcher. He's always had sustained success in the minors but his repertoire isn't likely to translate to sustained success at the MLB level and he's generally struggled here. He definitely has value as #6-#8 starter depth in the minors and can give you a chance as a spot starter if called upon. I wouldn't totally discount him possibly being a 5th starter/swingman as an MLB player, but I doubt it will be with us. He's definitely behind Nelson so I think it would take some injuries for him to get more than one spot start. -
Well, that's enough for me tonight.

Arcia might have had a play at 2nd. Definitely didn't have one at 1st.

Some of these arguments are missing the point. No one is arguing that the ump was good against Archer, and no one is arguing that a borderline strike isn't still a strike. The point was, in the real world, sometimes the umpires get the borderline calls right, and sometimes they get them wrong. Yes, in a perfect world he would have called them strikes. No, that doesn't always happen. When you are facing a pitcher not hitting half his weight, your success or failure should not be predicated on having the borderline calls go correctly your way. It's a pitcher. Just attack him. If he walked Josh Bell under the same circumstances I'd be a little more sympathetic.
-
The umpire didn't help against Archer, but the two pitches were borderline strikes, not egregious misses. That's just the reality of human umps, if you're missing you're not going to usually get borderline calls. I don't like it either, but that's the way it has generally been pre-robo umps. If you can't fire in 3 clear strikes to a noodle swinging pitcher, I really don't feel that sorry for you.

That's the thing with Chacin, he was solid last year -- let's not act like he was fantastic. He looked good in a rotation without an ace, but that doesn't make him one. Anderson had an even better year prior to 2018. Sometimes that success isn't sustained. My personal opinion is that Chacin was a guy who benefitted greatly from DJ's presence and isn't really going to recapture his success from last year this year.
-
Or, you know, Jimmy Nelson. There has to be something not quite right with Jimmy. I can't see how 60% of this rotation keeps a former ace out of your rotation. Woodruff and Davies should definitely be 100% safe. Anderson, Gio and Chacin are all kind of meh starters and it wouldn't kill me to see any of the 3 replaced.
-
Or, you know, Jimmy Nelson.
-
I'm sure he was trying. When you walk in 3 runs in an inning including the pitcher, it is on said pitcher. His effort was not in question.
-
5-1 isn’t out of reach for the offense... 7-1 will be tougher...
-
That was pitiful. Usually this is a team effort win or lose, but Jhoulys Chacin single handedly gave this game away.
-
Sort of late now Craig, thanks.
-
Infuriating. Giving up a crooked number is one thing, not even making them earn makes it worse. Terrible.
-
Good grief Jhoulys. Just shooting yourself in the foot.
-
Last year when I saw Chacin was pitching tonight, "Oh, Chacin is pitching tonight!" This year: "Oh, Chacin is pitching tonight..."
-
Come on Braun. Need to help Chacin out today.
