Isn't there a record of like 35 Ks and 0 walks to start a season?

 

edit: well if there was, it's now 36 :)

A 4-strikeout night for Javier Báez. He's now struck out in 48.4% of his plate appearances this season. Tough start offensively for him. #Cubs

 

Hiura has been bad. But not this bad.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Hard to believe that it wasn't so long ago that plenty of fans were ready to cut bait on Burnes after his disastrous 2019. He was being tossed into plenty of prospective trade proposals at the deadline. Obviously the Brewers front office made the right choice by sticking with him. Example number 532,864 of why this is a crazy game.

It is so refreshing to watch pure filth pouring out of the right arm of a homegrown Brewers pitcher that could have been drafted by any other team multiple times before the Brewers pulled the trigger. Even more awesome that Burnes had to work through a really bad stretch to get to this point in his development.

Vogelbach should have a beer named after him.

Robertson needed that AB. Would be nice to get him to the point where he isn't a total offensive liability.

 

Was looking at statcast stuff today and you could make the strong argument that he's been the worst hitter in the league.

He currently has a -27 wRC+. The only MLB hitters that have been worse (with a minimum of 30 PA) are Martin Maldonado (-40), Elias Diaz (-38), and Leody Taveras (-33).

Not just “at Night” anymore.

Quick poll, do you define "batting around" as 9 guys coming to the plate in an inning or 10 guys? Internet seems mixed. Our broadcasters use the 9 guys definition and it drives me nuts. The 10th guy should have to come to the plate for it to be coming "around" full circle back to how the offense started the inning.

 

I feel like the 9 guys definition is like saying the big hand on the clock went around when it only went from the 12 to the 11.

Hiura 21 Ks in 49 at bats. He could be to the ATS when Wong is activated as there’s really no reason to continue to play a hitter who is a defensive liability and Ks in 43% if his at bats

 

Not when Jace Peterson is on the team.

I’ve always thought of it as all 9 players hitting in the inning, but I can understand the argument for needing a hitter to bat twice.

This is fun.

 

I think of "around" (or a round) as one turn apiece. So, I'd go with 9.
