2019-04-12: Brewers (Burnes) at Dodgers (Urías) [Brewers win, 8-5 -- Burnes gives up three more HRs, but Grandal and the offense come to the rescue]

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Burnes is going to set some HR records this year.

 

Nah, if this keeps up, he isn't going to get the chance. They aren't going to leave him in the rotation to continue getting shellacked.

Can you name the Brewer single season record holder?

[folly412]

I'm ready for a Houser-Burnes swap.

[HarveysWBs]

Burnes is going to set some HR records this year.

 

If it gets that bad, he better get yanked out of the rotation long before he approaches a HR record. This isn’t some rebuilding club that can trot out a sacrificial lamb every five days. I like Burnes well enough, but at some point, the Brewers can’t live with this. We’re not at that point yet, but that point exists. I hope we don’t find it.

I would guess Marco Estrada and Chase Anderson are both up there without looking it up but not sure.

[yfinn6]

Getting too much of the plate.

Neither in the top 10. Of course looking it up is not allowed not that you would

[HarveysWBs]

Getting too much of the plate.

 

Way too much. The fastball is moving, but if it moves to the middle of the zone, it’s getting crushed consistently.

Considering how Anderson ostracized himself in Counsell's eyes for this very reason, I can't see him having infinite patience with Burnes. Not with two experienced starters in the bullpen and legitimately the entire AAA rotation being viable replacements.

[adambr2]

Young pitchers in the rotation experiment has been a massive failure so far.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

 

Neither in the top 10. Of course looking it up is not allowed not that you would

 

Didn't Matt Kinney or Wayne Franklin have a year in the early 2000s where they both gave up a ton of bombs?

[yfinn6]

Just pure in-game nonsense and it sounds like nonsense, but almost wonder if Corbin should throw more balls. He's predictably in the zone. That's not a bad thing, be better in the zone, but hitters are literally swinging each pitch and getting a lot of them.

Nicely done, Wayne Franklin is #2 but did set the franchise record, since passed, in 2003 with 36 dingers allowed

Suppan?

[yfinn6]

Now I say that and he throws a nasty slider to Pollack. I like this kid and think he'll be good, I'm just shocked at a bit at times.

[kybrewerfan]

Brandon Looper? Think I remember that name from last year when Anderson was giving up home run after home run

[topper09er]

Suppan?

 

Also surprisingly not in the top 10

[yfinn6]

Dave Bush?

[topper09er]

Brandon Looper? Think I remember that name from last year when Anderson was giving up home run after home run

 

Correct!

 

Here is a fun stat, the Twins single season record for HRs allowed by a player 50 (Blyleven 1986) is higher than their single season record for HRs hit by a player, 49 (Killebrew '64, '69).

[Oxy]

Wily Peralta? Doug Davis?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Ah yes, Braden Looper. He won 14 games that year, but they were so empty he was never heard from again.

[TURBO]

How does anyone except Arcia to be a consistent hitter when he continuously pulls his back foot?

 

It makes no sense that that can't be fixed, and continues to happen with a professional baseball hitter.

Same is true for Houston.

 

48 allowed by Jose Lima 2000, 47 hit by Bagwell same year

Sophia talking about locating the FB as Burnes throws one dead center

[HarveysWBs]

Don’t look now, but Burnes is on pace for a Quality Start*! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to find the closest lumber yard so I can knock on all the woods.

 

*totally worthless stat
