Zach Davies: Batter (Giants) vs Pitching Stats

 

Madison Bumgarner: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

Going into yesterday’s game I felt good about the fact that Chase Anderson had very good career marks versus the current Giants batters (has held them to a .612 OPS).

 

Today is sort of the opposite as Zach Davies has struggled somewhat against these same Giants hitters (.840 OPS), albeit in just under 50 total plate appearances (so not a great sample).

 

On the other side of the coin, Madison Bumgarner has a .666 OPS against the current Brewers hitters (131 plate appearances). That number seems fitting for Bumgarner.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

This feels like one of those games where Davies pitches an efficient 7 innings with 1-2 ER. I just hope the bats can get it going against MadBum.

 

C'mon guys ... march to the postseason starts right now. Time to get it in gear.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I had people beating down doors to use my tickets last year and this year I am nearly having to go to some of these solo. Kids are too young to hang in the heat/night games. Just kind of funny as I remember a time when a .500 team in July would've been a godsend.

[BruisedCrew]

I will be putting my 8-0 record on the line tonight as the Brewers try to get the salvage win for the series without waiting until Sunday.

 

The Brewers haven’t done well against lefties and have won very few games recently without Hader, so the streak is in jeopardy.

Hope you see a win but I'm not betting on one.

 

Wonder what the line is on it?

Sigh. I have zero issues with Dubon headed back down. I have a ton of problems with it, though, if it means that Saladino can start at short....

Looks like you have a problem tonight.

[timpep]

I generally think Arcia is overrated and I understand the brass is down in his defense but what the heck is going on with all the starts by salad man?

[adambr2]

If Arcia is not your guy at short, for crying out loud just send him down already.

 

Saladino has been in the starting lineup 2/3rds of the time since his callup. It's beyond ridiculous for a guy who, if he absolutely has to be on the 25, should be nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement.

 

Let me be blunt. Roster management since the beginning of June has stunk. To levels that are really disappointing for a Stearns/Counsell level organization.

[BruisedCrew]

Yuck. I expected Pina against the lefty with the day game tomorrow, but Saladino is an automatic K.

The team has also stunk since the roster moves started getting confusing as well...

Brian and Tom blaming Hiura when that was 100% Aguilar's fault.

[PinaMadness]

You knew that was trouble when Aguilar went to try and field that ball.

[stoutdude04]

Brian and Tom blaming Hiura when that was 100% Aguilar's fault.

 

I thought the same thing. He has to know the 2nd baseman is out deep. So frustrating lately.

[PinaMadness]

It seems like I've seen more swings and misses from Yelich in the past two weeks than I have all season before then. If he can't get it going this team is roadkill.

Yeah, I couldn’t make it to today’s game either so I put my tickets up on StubHub. I normally sell them at around break-even, even after the StubHub fees. I had to lower them to half face value to sell the tickets for today. I get it. Who wants to go watch this team right now?

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Long live Ryan Braun!

[stoutdude04]

This team...just a classic inning it feels like. Unearned run and then cant score a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

[PinaMadness]

Is it metaphysically impossible for a Brewer to at least hit a routine fly ball witha runner on third and less than two outs?

[stoutdude04]

My god. This team sucks so bad.

[PinaMadness]

This team is bordering on embarrassing.

[Brewce]

I don't know where to look for this stat, but it seems to me like the Brewers are striking out at a much higher rate this year compared to last year. Can anybody verify whether that is true or not?
