2019-09-06: Cubs (Hamels) at Brewers (Davies) [Brewers win, 7-1]

If Yelich gets to 50/30 will he win MVP?

 

No it is Bellinger's to lose at this point.

 

I think time will show Bellinger simply isn't on Yelich's level but team records carry a lot of weight. Can you imagine if we have consistently good 3/4 hitters next year?

This is where it becomes frustrating, NEVER allowing your guys to go 3 times through the order, no matter the situation, no matter what the starter looks like. It's actually pretty asinine.

 

At least let him go until the first sign or trouble.

The way he has pitched the last couple innings, and with a 4 run lead, I would give Davies two baserunners in the sixth before taking him out. Why not at least try to avoid needing the bullpen to cover 4 innings.
Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

At which point the screams of "left him in X batters too long again", start to rain down. Every. Time.

Nope, you let him start the 6th, and if there is any trouble, a walk, a single, whatever, you take him out. Don't wait, don't stand around in the dugout looking confused, then all of a sudden bases are loaded. Be ready, first sign of trouble, take him out.

Freitas has a pretty ugly setup and swing.

 

I thought the exact same thing; I had to remind myself that wasn't a pitcher batting.

 

I have yet to figure out why so many guys come out of the farm system with messed up mechanics.

Who are the others you are thinking of, besides the 30 year old joyrneyman catcher currently with his 7th organization in 10 professional seasons?

Some people will second guess no matter what happens.

 

But I said before the inning that I would give Davies two baserunners in the sixth. And I guarantee I would not be saying “left him in too long” if he had put the first two hitters in base.

Arcia

Brinson

Phillips

 

Huira.'s mechanics are certainly not something you would teach a young hitter but he gets away with it due to ridiculously good hand-eye coordination.

 

The best pure hitting mechanics of the team are Yelich by a mile and probably Grand ol would be next.

And I've been here long enough to say there would 100% be posters making that comment.

Guerra is such a buzzkill.

 

Lead off walks never start big innings.

 

EDIT: Oh, ok, Guerra's plan all along was to walk the first guy, then get the double play ball. Genius.
