Hey now. I mean, I wouldn't complain as you know. He's electric. I just tend to think the Brewers may be coming from a place of wanting to give him more innings and exposure.

Maybe. But I think he proved a lot in Spring Training. I think it'll happen sometime in the second half of the season, with him getting called up around the all-star break. My bold prediction...

Agree. His walk totals are really high thus far in his pro career. So far so good in '23 but I think he'll have a lot of "prove it" innings to come before we see him in Milwaukee. It actually wouldn't shock me if we see Cam Robinson before him if the need arises.

I might be missing something but isn't that his first HR surrendered? I would say more than that how can he limit the free passes?

The walk to Carp pissed me off as much if not more than the HR.

Yep, I can’t stand walks in that situation. They seem to hurt you more often than not in those tight situations.

You were saying??

Yes, they surprised me by scoring that run in the 10th, especially since they didn’t get a hit.   They pulled it off though, which was a pleasant surprise. It just had a the feeling of being one of those gut-punching losses.
