2018-09-19: Reds (Harvey) at Brewers (Gonzalez) 6:40 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-0]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

More wins than last year. This team has really been something.

 

9 games to go. Just. Keep. Winning.

Miley looks to be a great teammate......always engaged and enthusiastic.... .seems like we have a lot of those guys.

 

Everything about the guy has been impressive. I shook my head in wonder when we picked him up, I was wrong...

 

 

I would say 73 IP of ERA is 100% completely worthless and means nothing. Now I expected Miley to be a 4.50 ERA type talent, he has been a 3.5 to 4 ERA talent so he has definitely been better than expected but his actual ERA means jack and squat. It just shows how useless the stat is for judging pitching.

I get it, but he also seems like a guy FIP might underestimate because of all the ground balls and soft contact.

 

I don't trust the 73 innings of 2.5 ERA, but he has been really good.

[Ennder]

I'm not going by just FIP though, I'm also looking at the xStats versions which do account for how hard hit it is. No composite ERA stat gets him under a 3.50, if one is an outlier sometimes it is the others missing something on a pitcher, when they all say a certain level it is almost never sustainable. ERA takes almost 3 years of data to become meaningful, it just isn't a stat people should be using for evaluating players in a single season.

[PeaveyFury]

Perhaps the real takeaway is that pitching stats put up in Baltimore aren't indicative of anything, because Orioles.

[Pugger]

Always love the fact Joey Meyer owns it when he was wrong, very refreshing I must say. (And don't worry Joey, you had a lot of company on that position.)

 

LOL, I've been wrong a ton this year. Not necessarily a great look for me, but the Brewers are 21 over and a likely playoff team, so I'm ok with it

 

Domingo Santana is proving me wrong lately, too, and I couldn't be happier.

 

We can be a bunch of negative Nellies because so often this team disappoints. But this year has been a lot of fun so far!!

[buckybrewer232]

I would honestly like to see less of Aguilar, or at least drop him down in the order. He has a .720 OPS since the all star break and under .650 for the last month.

 

Happy to see Domingo get a start, though.

 

Nailed it.

I think mostly people are just appreciating what he's done for the team this year. I don't think anyone is saying he's an awesome pitcher, or that he's going to continue to be a 2.50 ERA guy. He's really come through for the Brewers this year when they needed him to, no more, no less.
