More fun stats about Burnes

 

Corbin Burnes this year has allowed 1 home run, 1 triple, 1 double, and 1 single. He pitched for the cycle

[John Jahahaha]

just dropping by to gush about Corbin Burnes. Unbelievable!

Really hoping the offense can come to life soon because this starting pitching is phenomenal. Currently 29th in MLB in OPS (.623) with a team wRC+ of 73. If those numbers get back towards league average I will feel pretty good about this team.

Well they've scored 34 runs (including today's game) in their last 6 games compared to 19 in their first 6 so I think they're on the right track. The first week might end up being the outlier.

Getting Yelich, Cain, and Wong healthy should help a bit. But the good news is that Pittsburgh is next, and in theory, a juggernaut offense should not be required to pick up a couple games.

 

But now I'm thinking about a certain series in Pittsburgh going into the 2018 All Star break...Yeah, so, better keep warming up the bats...

Man, Lindblom has not looked good so far this season

DFA. Seriously, if he can't even pitch mop-up innings without getting in trouble or requiring somebody to warm up behind him. What's the point?

At the end of the day he pitched 2 innings, gave up a hit, and hit a guy. No one scored.

2 innings and no runs allowed means DFA? Tough crowd.

I was saying 'Yeah Burnes'

There's a reason he's pitching mop up. He's not Burnes, he's not going to just strike everyone out. He's actually been pretty successful in this role, It got exciting once but by and large he's nailing these innings down with little commotion.

[adambr2]

Cubs were lucky just to win one game of the series.

[NYChez]

Burnes’ worst game score of the year was when he gave up no hits and no walks against the Twins through 6 innings.

Yep, he is what he is, a 35 year old finesse pitcher who can’t hit his spots. The line score looks clean but he can in with a 7-0 lead and they had to get somebody up in the pen before he could finish it.

 

With a guarantee this year and next he’s likely not going anywhere but the point is they must have a pitcher in the organization who can mop up and offer some scintilla of upside

Brewers have now won three series in a row. Keep winning series and this will be a fun season.

[CheezWizHed]

Got to listen to parts of the game between work meetings. Nice clean win by the team. My only wish was that Burnes would've given a big bat flip after his single and kissed his necklace on the way to first base.

Long season, no reason to make those kind of moves in April on a mop up guy.

The Brewers also are down much of their AAA starting pitching depth (Bettinger, File, Brown), and you could make a pretty good case that he had a better last year or spring than Lauer, Zimmermann and Godley.

I wish we could have Swept the Srubs but take another Seies win in our Division. Starting Pitching has been Awesome.
