    He's up to 5k in 3ip
  2. Tim
    Most of those pitches were pretty low stress, too.
  3. Tim
    There's Wisdom.

    Davis is now at a .077 BA with 8k's in 13 PA for the season so far. Miniscule sample size, but doing nothing so far to prove he should be in the majors to start the year.
  5. Tim
    Which raised his average to .083
  6. Tim
    Oh yeah, Davis walked in his next PA
  7. Tim
    five for five eta - six for six. Damn fine outing

    Uelmann's first inning: 1IP, 3K (and two hits) four outs, four k's.
  9. Tim
    This is fun. I like this game so far. Let's hope Steele didn't get too cold
  10. Tim
    I'm assuming Killian came out after 2.2ip because he had a 50 pitch limit and hit 53 after that batter. Pitch counts will pile up a bit when you whiff six guys in 2 2/3 innings.
  11. Tim
    Yes. When Brennen Davis is ready.

    Yeah Rizzo isn't wrong writ large, but he literally was offered more money by the Cubs than any of the 29 other franchises even came close to offering, so it's weird that he specifically is being such a jilted lover about this. Like if it was Schwarber, who actually did get better offers when he was cut loose, it might make sense. He's also only considering loyalty going one way. The Cubs seem to have made very fair offers to all their stars. They chose to pursue a bigger paycheck. Nothing against them - this is their one chance to get that fat paycheck. Just don't complain about loyalty afterwards.

    Best Record in Baseball!!! :flythew: Also...The Brewers are currently the worst team in baseball.

    With Happ recovering from surgery, wouldn't it be a good idea to get a different OF in the game?
  15. Tim
    Happ is forgiven.
  16. Tim
    Upper back between the shoulders. ow
  17. Tim
    Where did that hit Willson? On gameday it looks behind his head.
  18. Tim
    Absolutely awful fundamentally. Over ran it and didn't set his feet at all to throw. So bad. Hey, as long as he keeps batting .667, I'm okay with the occasional OF blunder.
  19. Tim
    Yeah, I'm suddenly feeling like we've got a few pieces lining up pretty well between Suzuki, Frazier and Davis. Desperately need to sign or develop a couple of good left handed hitting guys.
  20. Tim
    I know it's fun to be all negative and everything, but once Davis comes up there's no way Heyward is playing that much over Suzuki. So then it becomes a question of LF for Heyward, Ortega, Hermosillo, Happ & Frazier. Heyward won't win that.
  21. Tim
    Hell yes

    Simmons finished 3rd in baseball in dWAR last year (per BR, haven't checked FG). About as much of a WAR machine as you can be defensively. He sucked in 2020 but a lot of people had off seasons. Good point on Schwindel, never really looked into his numbers to see how sustainable his performance was. I assume flukey but I think he's started the spring continuing to hit well so I felt like there was upside. 39th among dudes with 450+ PAs on Fangraphs. At some point I feel like I was confident the general difference between BR and FG methodology was that BR was more 'what actually happened' and FG was more predictive towards future performance, but I'm rusty and can't really define the difference with confidence at this point. I haven't looked in a while, but I believe what you're referring to is more true with pitching war. BR calculates that based on RA9, while FG is based on the one of the FIP metrics. I believe the difference in their fielding metrics is more nuanced than just runs vs predicted runs.

    Yeah, Addison played a really, really good shortstop back in the day with a fairly mediocre arm. Best case scenario for Nico is what we were hoping for Russell (minus the cretin parts of him) to be with less power. Not a star, but a really solid contributor on both sides of the ball.
  24. Tim
    I think the power is real with Seiya
  25. Tim
    I'd really like to throw a Hosmer + Paddack + Gore for Happ with no money trading hands out to the Padres to see what they say. I've seen reports that Gore is looking much better this spring.
