2018-06-12: Cubs (Chatwood) at Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-0; Anderson -- 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 6 K]


Eye Black
Domingo Santana has turned into a joke at this point. Absolutely no clue whatsoever at the plate. At least Arcia plays defense.

 

Domingo made a pretty nice play in RF tonight.

"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.

Wouldn’t worry about it. It was a nice play and for some, Braun can’t make nice plays.

 

Yeah Plush! Man you are such an anti-Braun... Next you'll deny Braun is neck and neck with Trout in HR and OPS...

 

Plush is pretty anti Braun, but I do find it funny that Braun has as many HRs and more RBIs than Bryant in about 50 or so at bats.

 

Which would mean a lot more if HR or RBI were useful stats for judging a player. Bryant has an .885 OPS, 139 wRC+ and 2.2 WAR. Braun has a .770, 101 and 0.6. Bryant has been an all star level player and Braun has been a little below average.

 

Bryant has the edge in context neutral stats & is clearly the better player, but Braun has done more in the batters box to help his team win thus far this season with a Win Probability Added of 0.57 compared to 0.12 for Bryant.

Eye Black, thats the still I was looking at also. If Brauns glove isn't there, best guess with that trajectory it makes it over. Otherwise it hits the yellow line. But no way is it 3 or 4 feet down the wall.

 

Why does it matter? It doesn't.

Hope Villar is ok

 

Didn’t see it, what happened?

Domingo is at +7 DRS & +2.9 UZR this season, so the metrics have seen him as a positive in the field to this point.

So basically his couple of game winning hits makes him look better in that stat because of how random baseball is. Not buying it. Same way I'm not buying the Mariners being a good team just because they have an insane record in one run games.

Our offense has looked pretty sad this year...but the Cubs today, I don’t think we can compete with them.

 

An infield hit and a ground ball hit to CF. That was it. Not a single hit made it more than like 5 feet in the air.

Can we get through this with no drama, is that possible?

 

for the bryant/braun thing, no one is saying Braun is better. the initial was just pointing out the randomness of stats in small samples and that's a current quirk in stats.

I'm glad to see that even though the Brewers were collectively quaking in their boots and knew that the Cubs had their number and there was no way they could ever beat them, they somehow managed to pull through and shut them out. The fragile ego of the MLB player should have denied them the win but somehow against insurmountable odds they persevered.

Back in first. Let’s win this series tomorrow and set the tone for the homestand.

Haha We are in their heads now!

Pretty sure this team bounced off the mat .. now this is where we need to swing this into momentum and take a series from the Cubs tomorrow. It’s not a ‘must win’ this early in the year but it would pay dividends as the year progresses , just like letting Chase go pitch the 7th will for him...

 

And two forgotten bullpen pieces - Williams and Barnes- you forget how electric their stuff is with JJ CK and Hader... my goodness
