Brewers sign Matt Albers - 2 year deal

[502 to Right]

look for matt albers to be activated in the coming days . . .

 

Good grief. Just leave him down until September 1st.

[StearnBrewliever]

We need albers or knebel to return to form in addition to Soria. Tomrrow we will see that when JJ and Hader will be unavailable.

i'm puzzled why they're not considering a couple minor league rehab appearances for albers.

Maybe they know what sucks and rehab won't help? Only half blue.

 

Could be a thing where they pitch Peralta on Wednesday and send him down after the game and bring Albers up.... Peralta gets 10 days off, and Albers is the "game is out of hand" pitcher to eat inning(s).

 

For that matter if Guerra doesn't look better tonight, maybe they DL him again for 10 days and same scenario with Albers.

He had three with Biloxi - 8/14, 8/16, 8/18. 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R/ER, 0 BB, 6 K.

matt albers has been activated from the disabled list.

[Austin Tatious]

It'd be huge if he can deliver.

Yeah, hopefully his poor play was injury-related and he can come back strong for us down the stretch.

I'm really surprised they're bringing him back up already when this was an obvious stash DL move.

Do they have a choice? Right now the pen is Jeffress, Hader, Burnes and dynamite. If Albers can be anything close to effective, it's worth taking a look.

Well, Soria should be back this weekend.

 

Williams has looked better since coming back, got a little burned by some bad luck. As long as it's not against a lefty I feel very confident in him.

 

Same with Jennings the other way, although I have a little less confidence there, evidenced by last night. I wonder if Counsell would ever consider pairing them up with the strategy of stashing one in the OF for one AB and bringing him back in for the next guy.

 

But yeah, if you can get pre-June Albers back it would be big.

[Harold Hutchison]

Not worried about Jennings. Yes, he gave up that gopher ball to Gennett, but he held LH batters to a sub-.220 average before that.
