Trevor Williams: Batter (Brewers) vs Pitching Stats

[Eye Black]

I was hoping the Brewers would announce today’s starter by now, but Adam McCalvy is still saying he doesn’t know. Some speculation that it’ll be Eric Lauer.

[Eye Black]

Brent Suter is starting tonight, and it will be a bullpen game.

Prepping for that blockbuster trade about to go down

[wibadgers23]

Pittsburgh won a bullpen game yesterday so it’s time to return the favor.

[folly412]

Since Lauer isn't starting, counter move to the Phelps trade would be Knebel activated or Wahl recalled?

Oh man ... the "we're facing a RH pitcher" platoon lineup. Hasn't exactly been fear-imposing. But who knows ... let's get Craigtember started early!

Not quite...big day!

 

RHP Brandon Woodruff placed on the paternity list. RHP Corey Knebel sent to Alternate Training Site on rehab assignment. RHP Trey Supak recalled and RHP Justin Topa selected from the Alternate Training Site

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Just announced that Trey Supak and Justin Topa are coming up for tonight's game. Being a pen game, both could theoretically see some innings tonight. Especially interested in seeing Supak since he remade his body in the offseason.

Counsell on Ryan Braun's off and on back issue: "It's important that we manage it and that's what today is about."

[TURBO]

As long as Sogard is starting, I'm happy!

[markedman5]

[pacopete4]

I think I’d take Hernan Perez back over Peterson.

[PinaMadness]

Suter out of the first inning in 3.5 minutes. The game will still take 3.5 hours to complete.

Those hitters were probably begging their GMs not to trade them to Milwaukee.

I heard quite a few of them were hoping to catch part of the Haines magic.

[homer]

Someone in the Phelps trade thread was upset because we're wasting a year of Yelich's prime. I think he's wasting it pretty well by himself.

I posted that before I knew what happened.

It’s just hard to root for a Jace Peterson. I mean, he has no business being on this roster. So when he’s up in a spot like that, while it benefits the Brewers, I almost want him to stink so they move on already.

[PinaMadness]

Lepay and Rock giving Haines a verbal happy ending when the offense is in the bottom 10% in virtually every major category.

[TURBO]

I'm actually not a fan of Lepay...

It's easier for me with not having a minor league season. I just assume Ray and Taylor aren't better options based on whatever they're doing in Appleton. Compared to last year, when Hiura was raking in AAA while Travis Shaw was up here looking like he had forgotten how to play baseball.
