    I'll let AI do the work: In Milwaukee's realm, the Brewers shine so bright, Their victories are a symphony of might. With every swing, they claim the field, Their dominance and power are truly revealed. But alas, up north, the Twins do wallow, Their efforts feeble, their hopes so shallow. A sorry sight, a team adrift, In the Brewers' shadow, they struggle to lift. The Brewers' glory, a dazzling display, Their prowess leaves the Twins in dismay. A champion's spirit courses through their veins, While the Twins' failures persist like chains. So let the world know of the Brewers' fame, Their excellence in every single game. As for the Twins, well, what can I say? Their struggles continue, day by day.

    I had mostly retired from the message boards. Moved away from Milwaukee 4 years ago, however, so missing Brewer conversations. Also a little more interesting this year, with the influx of prospects on the team. I've never been a minor league rat, like some Brewer fans, so interesting to learn about them. Just wish they were doing better!

    A 22 game sample over 5 years is basically irrelevant. Today is a more or less a coin flip game and the Brewers are favorites tomorrow (-142). For the series: Brewers win: 0: 22% 1: 49% 2: 29%
  4. rluzinski
    Agreed, based on Vegas odds for first two games, and assuming 5o/50 odds for game 3: Brewers win: 0 games: 23% 1 game: 45% 2 games: 27% 3 games: 5%

    Nice writeup but a 350 AB split tells us little. For his very long career, Santana has had a league average split and projects to be about a league average hitter today. We should expect a healthy Tellez to hit better than Santana against righties. Considering their defensive differences, however I'm guessing that the plan is to have Santana start every day at 1B and if/when Tellez is healthy, he will be the LH side of a DH platoon.

    Especially because the fat part of the OPS comes in the form of walks. Really need a lot more than that from him. The fat part of that OPS is OBP, which actually makes it more valuable than a SLG heavy .772 OPS. Roughly speaking 1.8 x OBP + SLG = Value.

    Pitching was fine this series. Offense was predictably terrible. Work to be done but this is not unfixable. See you in 2024
  8. rluzinski
    60 games where he was below average but not terrible. I am not concerned. Just an odd year.

    Painful

    Misery loves company.

    He didn't really have a huge scuffle. Bad throw and bad pick attempt kept the inning alive. Two weak swings turned into hits. Then he did give up a hard hit to maybe the best hitter in baseball. It should have been a zero run inning Agreed.

    What's the plan with Harder here? Let him get 4 outs?

    Uecker adament that Woodruff should have had the K but it was outside. The non-DP the real issue. Three dinks and Dodgers are ahead.

    It's MoellerCycle isn't it? BenSheets1206

    I didn't know what my password was. Awesome to see Woodruff do what we thought he could. I will take 1-0 all day.

    When Healy is a third shift manager at the Walmart on Rinaldi street in a couple of years, do you think he will tell whomever is willing to listen that he once batted cleanup in an MLB playoff game?
  17. rluzinski
    Boom.

    My point is that he isn't much better than other available options, so I'd prefer the alternative option on regular rest over Chacin on short rest. Chacin will still get most likely get two starts.
  19. rluzinski
    For those wanting Chacin to pitch 3 times this series, and twice on short rest, maybe take a look at his season numbers vs the Dodgers. They have many talented lefties and will certainly stack them against Chacin and his slider. I can not care less about team splits but Chacin is not good enough to ask him to pitch on short rest. He's decent but nothing special. I'd have him go on normal rest, go through the lineup twice and pull him. Also, Miley has a nice ERA in 80 innings this year but had a 5.75 ERA over the previous 200 IP (spread over 2 seasons). Not saying to leave him off the roster but game 1? No thanks.

    Vegas has it at 58/42. I can agree and live with those odds.
  21. rluzinski
    Strikeouts are absolutely bad for a batter. The point is that an out on a ball in play is almost equally as bad. The key is to compare an out with an out, not an out with a BIP.

    He was always an easy guy to root for.

    Villar just made a mistake on the basepaths as I type this.
  24. rluzinski
    I just a took a short 5 year break. Seemed like a good time to try and really get back into this. Was nice to see some familiar names still posting here. Playing Villar longterm at 2B will certainly help. It is just especially difficult to get any offense out of the SS position, so I just hope Stearns is keeping the trade option open. "I never buy into that garbage that your first and third baseman have to be certain types of hitters. Sure Villar won't hit the home runs but I don't know..." I agree that you don't need to have power from your 3B. You need good offensive production, however. If Villar can keep up that OBP, great. I don't think that is a given, however. Additionally, Villar's net base running value will be questionable as long as he continues to make a ton of outs getting picked of, caught stealing or trying to grab an extra base on a hit. Really, my main point is Villar's overall value playing SS for someone else vs. playing 2B or 3B with the Brewers, though.
  25. rluzinski
    With Arcia's call up, everyone's focus is on the potential loss of a cheap year of him (and rightly so). I am just as concerned over Villar losing value playing at 3B, however. I know he's never been considered a plus defender at SS but he seemed adequate there, defensively this year. His OBP has been great but does his stick really project to be above average at 3B? I would have preferred to give him a full year at SS and trade him as a SS in the off season. Now, I fear we'll watch him struggle to be anything more than average at 3B with the Brewers for years to come.
