Is this going to begin the Sal Frelick era if Mitchell is hurt?

Doubt it. He's not on 40man until and Wiemer can play CF. May just be Anderson LF and Brosseau 3b.

Not as meaningful as his play last year and in Spring Training/WBC. We're only two weeks in the MILB season. 

Spring Training and WBC means nothing.

Only 2 regular OFs on the MLB roster is a dangerous game to play. It's either him or Perkins that would get the call.

More meaningful than less than two weeks worth of numbers in the minors...

[wallus]

I'd be surprised if it isn't Perkins which obviously isn't very exciting. 

[RobertCrawley]

Three great pitches.

If you believe the Brewers are going to call up a guy not on the 40 man hitting under .200, be my guest.

[Brewcrew82]

Remember, they can also move Woodruff to the 60 day IL to create a 40 man spot..

We have to have another OF on the active roster...  We'd be down to Yelich, Wiemer, Anderson and I guess you could call Miller an outfielder.

If Mitchell is out for any amount of time, we are going to have to have another body, just hope we don't call Perkins up.

I mean the WBC was 6 games and Frelick was bad against the best team he faced.

Frelick is hitting .232??? If you believe the Brewers care about less than two weeks of minor league numbers, be my guest. They may call up Perkins just because he's already on the 40 man, but it won't be because of these two weeks...

[RobertCrawley]

The ever expanding and shrinking strike zone.

[Brewcrew82]

Come on Contreras please put the ball in play. 

[mtrebs]

Haven’t been impressed with Brosseau’s defense as of late. It seems like every game there are two or three hits to him, that while being somewhat difficult plays, end up with him getting the ball to first late or pulling the 1B off the base. It’s resulting in additional outs that our pitchers need to get.

The stats I looked at must not have updated. Look, I get you are a huge fan of his but no team is calling up a struggling hitter that has not played much in AAA.

[wallus]

Willy got the job done

[RobertCrawley]

I miss the old Ron Roenicke suicide squeeze.

A lot of people are huge fans of his. He's a consensus top 40 prospect...He's also played more games in AAA than Wiemer and Mitchell..And if you're making claims based on short sample sizes then he's actually sizzling now considering he went 3/5 with two doubles tonight.

The Brewers disagree with you because he was not on the OD roster...

[RobertCrawley]

Wow BA did not look good at that AB.

[Joseph Zarr]

Well, at least if we blow this the Cardinals will still be in last place. That's my take.

[brewcrewdue80]

Bold move there. Auto walk a guy with 3 ks looking and slow to pitch to Anderson who now starts the 11th on 2b.
