    The multi-inning ability of former starters is becoming crucial. So many relief innings to cover. Vlad a good choice, hopefully Reds will focus on fitting others in that role, along with Antone for now.

    Re: Vladimir Gutierrez

    Vladimir Gutierrez will face the Brewers for the second consecutive start. He allowed just two runs and six hits with three walks and seven strikeouts across seven innings in a victory Wednesday at Great American Ball Park for his second consecutive win.

    He is 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 over 17 IP through 3 starts.

    LHP Eric Lauer is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 1-2 with a 4.82 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 10.6 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 28 IP through 4 starts and 3 relief appearances.

    Lauer made a relief appearance Wednesday at GBAP, opposite Gutierrez and the Reds last time out, allowing two runs, two hits and four walks in a wild 80-pitch relief appearance across four innings.

    Very pleasant development.

    Not getting lit up the second time he faced a team is a huge positive.

    Re: Vladimir Gutierrez

    I’m still kind of bearish on his long term prospects as a starter but he’s come up huge since the callup, really couldn’t ask for anything better from him.
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    Vlad’s poised for a young pitcher. I’m hoping he can pick up his bat missing ability over time. Tyler Mahle did that, maybe Vlad can too with work and coaching.

    A welcome candidate for Reds’ staff, throws strikes, hope he can keep developing.

    Re: Vladimir Gutierrez

    It'll be interesting how his next start plays out after throwing 110 pitches plus the league getting more and more video on him.
    ...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

    I don’t think Vlad’s stuff is as good as Mahle’s.

    I kind of think Vlad is getting by on smoke and mirrors. Hope I’m wrong.
    What would you say.....ya do here?

    I thought that against the Cubs and Cardinals but he's looked solid in his two starts against Milwaukee. He got away with a couple of fastballs down the pipe that Brewer batters either fouled off of just swung and missed, but otherwise he was locating well and moving the ball in/out/up/down.

    Re: Vladimir Gutierrez

    Once Gutierrez settled in, Milwaukee’s day was seemingly over.

    Gutierrez retired 10 straight batters from the last out of the second through the fifth, and Yelich’s walk was the only other baserunner allowed before he struck out Brewers shortstop Willy Adames to end the sixth.

    It seemed like just about every pitch in his repertoire was working, too. On the night, Gutierrez's four-seamer picked up a 24 percent whiff rate, up from 13.3 percent coming in. He started 13 different batters off with a breaking ball; 10 of those were for strikes.

    It was the second time in just six days that Gutierrez matched up with the Brewers. His last time out against them Wednesday, Gutierrez lasted a career-high seven innings and picked up the second win of his young career. On Monday, Gutierrez didn’t last as long, but he was arguably more dominant, recording 14 whiffs on 50 swings; his 28 percent whiff rate exceeded the 20.2 mark he’d achieved over his first three career starts.

    “That’s two games in a row that he’s made it real tough on us,” Vogelbach said. “He has a really good fastball, and he throws a curveball for a strike when he wants to. He’s just a guy in a groove right now who’s doing what he wants on the mound.

    “You have to give credit where credit’s due. He’s thrown the ball well twice against us."

    Re: Vladimir Gutierrez

    I thought about picking him up in my fantasy league, but then I read this...

    https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/throwing-heat-week-11/

    Vladimir Gutierrez, CIN

    Last three starts: 2.65 ERA, 18.3 K%, 1.12 WHIP

    What a great start for Vladimir Gutierrez this season! In three starts he holds a 2.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. All is good in Gutierrez land, right? Not right. To start with the good, he has been amazing at inducing weak contact. Although a small sample, his barrel rate against is just 2.0%. His hard-hit rate against just 26.5%. Both elite numbers. Explains why his xERA sits at 3.20.

    And now comes the bad part. Just to start off simple let’s look at his underlying ERA indicators. His FIP is 3.97, okay not bad. His SIERA is 5.10. Not good. But most importantly his xFIP is 5.15. Why is this most important you might ask? Well, he currently has an HR/FB rate of just 5.3%. Something typically unsustainable. That’s lower than Jacob deGrom. Of course with a low HR/FB rate comes a low HR/9. A low HR/9 he has indeed. It sits at 0.53. Now to reiterate his HR/FB% is 5.3% and his HR/9 is 0.53. In his time in the minors his average HR/FB% was around 13% and his HR/9 around 1.32. The home runs look to be coming and that’s why his xFIP is so important. xFIP normalizes a player’s home run rate which means when the home runs come his ERA will rise. If you want to really put the nail in the coffin here look at his walk rate. It sits at 11.3%. Can you imagine how many runs he will let up when he is walking a bunch of hitters and then letting up home runs?
