[Brewcrew82]

lol Peguero Vargas isn't even going to swing, and you walk him...

[Brewcrew82]

Wow. Keep putting it in the air, Garrett!

[RedStickBrew]

Looks like Wiemer went to work in the weight room again this offseason.  Quite the physical specimen.  Hope we see him in Milwaukee this season

Love to hear it. In game power was his knock. Never that he didn't have power. Yelich Jr.

You must have meant Garrett Mitchell, lol.

I have no complaints if the Brewers hitting prospects all start producing like mid 90's Cleveland hitters. .900+ OPS for everyone!

Who is Miller, Van Meter, and Bolt?

SS starters of Gasser and Junk make the baseball poets happy...

RHH Owen Miller’s a 2B/1B/3B - the pride of Ozaukee High School. He’s on the 40-man MLB roster. 2B/LF/3B Josh Van Meter (LHH) and CF Skye Bolt (switch-hitter) are non-roster invitees who’ve struggled to hit in their MLB time.

Eric Brown Jr with his first spring training homer.

LOVE seeing all our Minor League guys getting early run in these ST games. Several notable offensive performances. Will James Meeker ever concede a single run in any baseball competition ever again?! Stay tuned!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

I love spring training but this is a friendly reminder the correlation from spring training performance to regular season performance is negligible.

Watching kids hit dingers is better than watching kids not hit dingers but just enjoy the moment for what it is, don't read anything into it.

You will never calm my adamant joy when Cam Devanney smashes leather at any Level. I smell a first ballot...oh wait...that's my socks 😔

This is mostly correct, but the MKE Tailgate guys have pointed out in years past that K/BB rates in spring often carry over and can be a sign of a breakout or the opposite

I don’t ever expect to calm your exuberance, Joseph. I was speaking to literally everyone else. 😃

Just nice seeing highlights and stats and stuff.

What the heck has happened to Zamora’s defense? 2 errors today & a boatload before his injury last season. Count me more than a little concerned.
