Brewers @ Twins Series Thread (5/27-5/28)

[neiLz]

Guy on third no outs and brewers can't bring him in. Then ump starts cheating on balls and strikes.

The Shaw/Aguilar regression is, um, not tasty.

The Shaw/Aguilar regression is, um, not tasty.

So predictable though.

Alex Claudio is not good.

Alex Claudio is not good.

His ERA of 6.33 somehow seems low.

Claudio. What a terrible trade. Full stop. Stearns is really just so 50/50 on the relief fringes. Disappointing to say the least.

EDIT:

I should addendum this: A terrible trade given Counsell's stubborn and stupid use. Shocking, Counsell having no idea how to use a reliever or a relieving corps. Rinse and repeat from last season, imho. You can't stubbornly cling to a a LHRP not being a LOOGY from past successes. It is utterly obvious: Claudio is strictly a LOOGY. Period. The Brewers are clearly dreaming otherwise.

Claudio might be bad but can we just acknowledge his rookie 2B didn't help him at all today? Ok, thanks.

Aguilar sure, Shaw not so much.

You can cling to LOOGYs being not LOOGYs at times when you have:
A: no other options behind him as they did early this year with Claudio when Knebel and Jeffress were both out.
B: situations where you leave them in for the wolves if the game has already gotten hand at their expense (Jennings last year) so that you don’t burn another arm.

It may not be perfect usage but I swear to god, you may not believe this but one of the best stat departments in pro sports understands the idea of a LOOGY and their manager does as well.
