    Stretch of getting shut down by crappy starting pitching continues
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Bryant was pretty much built to hit flyballs. That was his MO from the get-go. The reality is that even in this day-and-age not every hitter is geared this way, and the organizations tend to let a player's natural abilities speak before they go trying to fix something that isn't broken, and they try to ease those types of suggestions in gradually rather than pervert the maturation process. I would rather have a high contact guy with strong EVs and talent for the sweet spot and tinker with his attack angle over time, than I would to take a flyball hitter who probably has some swing-and-miss and try to remedy that. But IDK, good players emerge from both scenarios, really. I don't think you should get so hung up on GBs for minor leaguers but I understand your concern. For a dude that was just drafted a couple months ago, though, it's nuts. This is the way he has hit his whole life and it's continuously working. He's doing something right at the plate. It's not like he's gonna be a bust if he's a high GB% guy, either. Just this year Acuna is 15th in GB and Yandy Diaz, Yoshida, Wm Contreras, Yelich, Soto, and Nootbar are all in the top 15, and all are having excellent offensive seasons respectively. There's more than one way to skin a baseball.

    One thing I will say is that each component of the team has been pretty good to great almost all year with one major exception: The offense in high-leverage spots. I never feel like they're gonna come through and it's backed up in fg's clutch metric. This late push they are making could turn out to be just one big 9th inning tease-fail and end up just like 2018 where the Brewers do just enough to take the division.

    They've been extremely competitive in the series against the best teams in the league but they followed up winning a series against the Braves by dropping one to the Mets and now have dropped the opener to the Sox after taking the series vs the Blue Jays. Annoying AF. Working on a 4 game streak against sub-500 teams where they score less than 4 runs.

    DFA Barnhart and Young and call up PCA and Horton. Let's go, the team needs a jolt!
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Terrible offensive effort. Pretty much felt like it was over after Santos dominated them in the 8th and they wisely kept him in there. Bats aren't doing much and they rarely come back in the 9th. It felt inevitable.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Well that was an absolutely perfect throw by Grandal
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Dammit Seiya. From missing a cookie to committing on a swing you would have done absolutely nothing with if you made contact.
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    All told, that turned out to be a really solid outing from Hendricks. He got 10 groundouts and gave up very little solid contact. You'll take that all day even with the measly 4 Ks.

    Looks like Schanuel's extraordinary BBK from college is translating quite well to pro ball. 16:6 overall and 11:5 so far at AA.

    Agree with all of these. That Mets series was horsefeathers. They faced average arms and scored most of their runs on solo homers, pitched to Alonso too much, and blew a prime opportunity. They can't afford to lose series to ****** teams. Feeling a little anxious about this stretch of the schedule. The offense has cooled down some and SP are prone to get beat up a bit lately.

    So it doesn't appear that anyone will catch William Contreras in catcher framing, unless he just completely falls apart. He leads by 5 runs over 2nd place, 12-7. How the hell is Milwaukee so good at catcher instruction? This dude, Narvaez, Caratini... Lucroy possibly qualifies, IDK.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't care at all about this award but I do find it amusing that his only real compeitition for it is Yelich. Just like old times.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Arias really struggling at SB
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    PCA is gonna hit for a lot of power. Can't wait to see him in Wrigley next year.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Major props to Cuas for steadying the ship as well after that ugly 6th
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I'd love to convert him back to a starter
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty bad ab Candy. Two awful chases.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Thank God. I sensed a ****** little blooper coming to take the lead.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    That was pretty great location but total bummer. He hasn't been the lockdown guy lately.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Seiya definitely cut down the leg kick
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    He's faced 75 of them this year, struck out 24 of them, and has 0 walks with a 150 ISOA
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Adbert figured out LHB. See if he can start again. Go all Rays on em.
