Quote from: HutchwasClutch on March 30, 2025, 09:07:36 PMHas any team humiliated themselves in a season opening series as badly as the Brewers just did?

With SEVEN possible starters - Woodruff, Myers, Quintana, Hall, Gasser, Civale, and Ashby - unable to pitch, it has been no surprise.

Civale pitched yesterday. 

In fact, all three starters against NYY were penciled in as such going into spring training. 

They knew the entire offseason Woodruff would not be ready for opening day even if everything went perfectly which it has so far. Gasser is coming off Tommy John, so they knew he'd be unavailable the entire offseason.

Yes, they've been hit with other injuries. They were lit up and embarrassed though this weekend.  They weren't competitive.  Three pitches, three HR to start the game Saturday.  That's little league stuff. It's really specious to write off this weekend up to injuries.

Not much better today so far either.

If Antanasio becomes commish, hope he negotiates sand into the contract.

If the Brewers can hold KC to 10 runs it will bring their team ERA down (was 12.3 before the game)!

Yikes! Similar to the White Sox adding .210 hitters to raise the team average most of last year.

Using a torpedo bat for the first time last night, Elly De La Cruz went 4-for-5 with 2 HR and 7 RBI in Cincinnati's 14-3 win over Texas.

I did see the person who hit the most homers against the Brewers (Judge) was not using the torpedo bat.

Their pitching just might be bad to start.

Aaron judge isn't using the bad. He would never dream to benefit from adventageous equipment to hit home runs

The bats have a built-in sensor letting hitters know which pitches to swing at.

Rafael Devers is planning on using one.

So now the bats are juiced instead of the players.

When has there not been a pursuit of an extra edge?  Bigger gloves, better shoes, off season conditioning, supplements legal and less so,  looking at pitcher tendencies and deliveries on an iPad, stealing signals, bigger bats, smaller bats...

The torpedo bats meet the letter of the law.  The proportions and weight distribution have been changed minutely.   Theoretically leading to a slightly larger sweet spot and a slightly faster swing speed.   This is no different than a golfer adjusting their driver.   They still have to square up the ball.

Plus, teams are still bringing in a new pitcher every inning to throw 15 95+ mph fastball and then sit down.  It would be nice if the pendulum swung back to the hitters.   Plus, with the taper at the end, pound fastballs away.

Oh ye of little faith.  Shoto is totally finishing the year with a sub 1 ERA and Tucker is gonna hit .325 with 50 bombs.

Redlegs scored 14 runs on 3/31 and 11 runs today. And 2 runs in the 4 games in between.

Reds are the first team since the start of the National League (1876) to score 10+ runs on both ends of a 6-game stretch while only scoring 2 or fewer runs in the 4 games in between.

Nestor to the IL (probable TJ surgery?).

That makes 8 starters that are hurt and we're only 10 days into the season.

If this current roster somehow contends this year with all these pitching injuries, I'll never doubt their ability to maximize the guys they have
