Brewers (Peralta) vs Pirates (Keller): 4/25/24, 11:35am

[Brock Beauchamp]

An early one today as the Brewers try for the split against the Pirates.

[SeaBass]

I know Jean-Claude Van Damme is in favor of a split today.

[jay87shot]

So excited for an early game, I have a boring 2nd half of my work day on a computer so this is going to be great.

Freddy is one happy feller ... getting to face Keller!

Keller ain't ready to face Freddy!

I'm at cardiac rehab at 10:00, so I'll probably only miss the first 45 minutes.  No late night, which is nice.

Murphy going with Wiemer again

MIL Lineup:

He is handing him the rope, lets

hope Wiemer can produce today. 

1. Sal Frelick (L) RF
2. William Contreras (R) C
3. Willy Adames (R) SS
4. Jake Bauers (L) 1B
5. Rhys Hoskins (R) DH
6. Oliver Dunn (L) 3B
7. Blake Perkins (S) CF
8. Brice Turang (L) 2B
9. Joey Wiemer (R) LF

[TURBO]

I'm to the point of not liking to see Frelick, Bauers, Dunn, and Wiemer in the line-up at all.

How close are we to letting Tyler Black show what he has?  Kid does nothing but hit at every level, when is it time?

I'm ready!

Frelick is hitting .289 so far but super injury prone.

Getting there.  I started work about a week ago.  After almost 3 months, I'm trying to remember anything.

I get light-headed at times, but my meds are keeping me in the comfortable normal range for blood pressure.

This coming weekend is the anniversary of my Dad's passing away.  We've been holding a commerative shooting session around that day.  I've been told to avoid anything with a real recoil.

Let's get some bats on balls today.

Jackson getting a needed day off.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

There is always something joyful about morning baseball, even more than afternoon baseball.

Get a split, and you're thrilled with a 5-2 road trip, heading into a tough week.

You continue to beat the Black drum, which I understand to a point. However, this team values defense to a higher degree than most and Black currently remains deficient in that area. I'm tired of Wiemer as well, but the the other three guys you list have all brought value to this year's team. 

Frelick is what he is a light hitting outfielder, who plays plus defense with excellent speed. Bauers is an excellent first baseman who has saved the rest of the IF multiple errors already this year. Dunn is a solid bench player who has shown enough flashes to remain on the roster at this point IMO.

I'm not sure Black is an upgrade at this point

[Bulldogboy]

The absolute last thing this team needs is Contreras coming up lame. Catching him day after night is a mistake. Let him dh and catch Sanchez more. He has better bat than Bauers too.

Reminder: Frelick is hitting .289 any team would take that but he is in a 7 day lull.  Maybe he is getting tired also but what will we do when it is 90 degrees out every day standing in the hot outfield grass?

Hey just got back from Cardiac Rehab myself - hope your rehab is going smoothly.  Now I have a Brewer game and NFL Draft tonight.  That's a good day (hopefully)

I'm not sure why anybody thinks Black is going to be any less susceptible to the offensive struggles the other young guys have had to deal with.

[duewizard]

Dunn has a 0.580 OPS in April, and has gone 1-14. When do we try Monasterio again?  Has only had 7 ABs for the Brewers for some reason and  has a 0.888 OPS in Nashville

I went back to work 2 months after my STEMI - I have a primarily desk job (Psychologist) but am pretty sure I came back too early and wore out pretty bad by the end of the week.  No a month back to work and I feel almost back to normal.  

Pay attention to your body and pace yourself.  It'll will come in time but you don't want a set back. Mine was complicated by the fact I was in Mexico on vacation when it hit.  So had to wait a couple of weeks to come back and then having medical chart all in Spanish slowed the process down a bit. But alls well that ends well and all that. 

[Team Canada]

William is good at baseball.

[SeaBass]

This Contreras kid might just have a future in this league.

Wild Bill!

Potential like Molina IMHO.

We're lucky to have that guy.
