Nothing would make me more happy to see Nottingham become a stud catcher for us just because of the trade that it occurred in.

 

No! Didn't you know that Stearns was hosed on that deal? I mean, Davis has hit a lot of dingers the last couple years! It must be because Stearns is young and inexperienced.

Here's to hoping Derby finds his way to the big leagues at some point as well.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

5 innings, 1 H, 1 ER, 4Ks tonight. He's certainly on the map as potential help this year.

I get why people like Aguilar, but I don't get why people want him to play every day instead of Thames, considering Thames has been our best offensive player. And it isn't even really close.

 

Didn't Thames' April of HRs include many vs. the Reds last season?

 

Not advocating playing time one way or another, straight Platoon works for me.

Just feasts on Reds Pitching

lol Hader... just continues to impress.

 

Kind of hoping to see Barnes, and not Albers in the 9th.

I'm wondering if they changed where the gun picks up the pitch again this year? Seems velo is down for a lot of guys.

 

Maybe he is tuning it down a little for control and to last multiple innings?

Am I wrong that I'd like to see less taking of pitches against relievers by the Brewers? Or is seeing a lot of pitches always a good thing?

 

Taking pitches for the sake of taking pitches is never a good thing, unless a pitcher can't find the zone. If you get a fastball in your zone first pitch, rip it. MLB Network was talking about Votto's first pitch swing percentage and he's swung more often as his career has advanced. I was on the treadmill so I don't know what they were saying but I would assume it's because he has a reputation as a pitch taker, so pitchers throw him strikes on the first pitch. But he's now adjusted his game to take advantage of that and is swinging more often.

Braun laid off a slider away and then hit a double. Please be coming out of it.

Fixed that one for you

 

I'm good with that also. I don't know if I see Counsell doing it but I'll take Hader again if they want. Save Barnes/Albers for tomorrows game.
