Now down 8-5 heading to top of nine.

Gorgeous bomb. 105 EV, 422ft bomb....but it was off old friend Daniel Robertson position player on the mound.

That TR infield with Brown activated is niiiice.

Moore to 2B, Brown to SS and Boeve/Wilken to 1st/3B?

Either that or they're simply skipping his turn through the rotation to limit his innings. 

He is lined up to start Saturday it seems!

Yophery is more likely on the Chourio-Lara track - hoping to shine in 2024 Extended Spring Training, skip ACL ball and join Low-A Carolina in April/May 2024.

Pratt just turned 19 and is hitting well (.356 AVG / .426 OBP / .444 SLG in 54 PAs), so hopefully that pushes the Brewers to promote him to Carolina now.

I'd think that Juan Baez (18 - .952 OPS) and Satchell Norman (21 - .897 OPS) could also get a look, along with some pitchers (harder to predict - e.g. Root (24 yo), Moore (24 yo - return to full season affiliate after injury/recovery), Whiting (24 yo), Yoho (23 yo - 8th rounder), Austin (23 yo - 10th rounder), Hunt (23 yo), Kuehner (22 yo - 7th rounder), Brailin Rodriguez (21 yo - return to full season affiliate after injury/recovery)).

I'd still like to see them push Yophery. Give him a few ABs at Carolina. 

They're different types of hitters. Rodriguez is a more disciplined hitters. I'd love to see him get a couple weeks, see how it works. He doesn't need to do much. Just not be overmatched and then start next year out in Carolina. 

I think his approach is less prone to slumps as he'll keep getting on base even if he's not killing it.

Still, for a frame of reference, Chourio .833 OPS at the same age and level, Rodriguez .842 OPS. If he flops like Chourio at AA last year...nobody will hold it against him. If he hits, his prospect status is just gonna get more helium.

And what's the harm with giving him a look? I don't see a downside.
