Apparently this is why they acquired Margot…….the Perkins injury happened first so they signed him is what I read.

You know this how? Just because Turang is the best second baseman doesn't mean second base is his best position.

Plenty of evidence (feel free to add some yourself) but Ortiz has a much better arm than Turang

Now we know why Milwaukee signed Margot … Perkins fractured his shin bone a few days ago & is out until early May. 

Perkins is one of my favorite Brewers players - this is sad news for me & costly to the Brewers depth.

Followed by a prime RHP Tyler Woessner experience inning. Sighs.

Have yourself a day Vinny!

Vinny Capra trying to silence the “Why is Vinny Capra on the roster?” questions. What. A. Day.

Hey Vinny the 3rd base job is open……” Hmm…….you don’t say?” 

[Joseph Zarr]

Where were you during what is now historically referred to as 'The Vinny Capra Game'? My grandkids will ask me about this historic day. I, for One, will be ready.

Is EMJ a realistic candidate to make the team? Seems like a lot of hype lately

He certainly is a talented enough player to put himself in a serious position to do so. He is definitely this good - ie what you saw today. He's been this baseline of a player (and getting better) for essentially two consecutive seasons. Tis why I've been saying he is the best pure first baseman in the system for over a year now. More than anything, tho, if he continues having a productive ST he is firmly placing himself on the 40-Man radar.

As a sidebar, with Perkins' injury I personally think the Brewers 'should' start giving Tyler Black more regular work on the OF grass. He is a sneaky good defensive OF'er and I think he merits more time out there. This is the perfect time to do so.

[Joseph Zarr]

Capra has serious intense vibes. The man is ready - for 2025 MLB baseball and maybe a bar fight.

Sounds like the defense didn’t help him much either

Yeah. Collins missed a catch and Durbin air-mailed a throw to first

[duewizard]

First Durbin live AB's I've seen. Must say I really don't like that massive leg kick

Posted by Jim HERE. As I've been saying for the past season plus: RHP Chase Costello has filth. Will hurl it.

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Grab a cup of Yoho. You won't regret it. Glorious!

 

[jay87shot]

Hope to see a ton of that Yoho sequence for year to come. Filthy change over the plate, heater up in the zone, not even close change the batter can't help but swing at. Devin 2.0 style but maybe with better command?

Tyler Black did/does the same thing also, not sure if it was corrected but I am not a fan of the massive leg kick either. It makes it harder to react and make solid contact to different speed pitches with the exaggerated leg kick. It may give you more power but the good consistent line drive contact would drop.  Leg kicks were big 100 years ago when they were swinging 40 oz and 50 oz bats.
