Spring training updates

[Brian]

Bauers go's deep in the 1st for 3 runs. 

[Matt]

Misi's command: still bad.

[bensheeps]

The highs and lows of Jake Bauers in the first inning...3-run HR in the top half & then a 2-rbi single that clanged off his glove in the bottom.

So frustrating………until he figures it out it doesn’t matter if he’s a starter or a reliever…….

Not as bad as it looks. He had two called strikes challenged (one was upheld, the other was “less than .5 inches high”). He also could have challenged probably 3 or 4 called balls. Catcher also dropped a strike.
 

Don’t think anyone could see it well.

Ok Cooper Pratt

That isn’t always the case……there are plays that can be made by a good defender that are called hits. 
 

From what I heard on the broadcast that happened twice in yesterday.

True. I was in a hurry when I commented that. Didn't explain fully. 

[markedman5]

Another line drive double for Pratt……followed up by a base running blunder…..lol

[Brian]

Monasterio looks like he put on about 5-10 pounds since last season and not fat either.

he was more than halfway to second when he touched the ball. Should have let Monasterio have it. It was hit pretty hard

[markedman5]

Blake Burke with a nice opposite field run scoring double off the wall……

[Underachiever]

Here is something I never understand. Pratt leads off the inning with a double. Then Chourio grounds one to short, Pratt takes off, is out by a mile at third. Announcers say, "That's what Spring Training is about. Knowing when to run..." Except that has been the same since Pratt was in Little League. Don't run on a ball to your right or make the first out at third base. They do the same thing when a centerfielder and left fielder miscommunicate on a ball. "They will have to work that out." Except it has been the center fielder's ball since forever. Always puzzles me.

They also posted his weight taken at two venues.   So you can doubt it but they have receipts.   Pros get bigger faster.    That is life. 

It’s called steroids.

Cooper Pratt should be the 2025 starting Shortstop for the Brewers .   I get making them work through the minors but that guy is better than minor leagues and belongs in the brightest lights of the game.   

 

Man he looks full grown .  The baserunning mistake he made today is rookie stuff that will not be issues with more playing time.   He looks like a guy who belongs and we need a new Short.  he happens to play + defense at Short .    the Brewers can debate Ortiz or Turang but the truth is neither of them are going to keep Shortstop because of Cooper Pratt.   Pratt is coming.   Even if they do not make him play bigs ball in 2025 he is the future of this franchise at SS.       So moving Turang or Ortiz temporarily to Short only to have to move them out of Milwaukee or to another spot on the infield in 2026 to accommodate Pratts call up seems defeatist.  

 

That guy is the most special player on the Brewers prospects list and I see that now.    There is no better player for the Shortstop job in MLB ball.    That guy is going to be a SUPERSTAR!

Hudson hit 94 mph today?

Maybe while Perkins is injured.    But the Brewers have the 2 best Center Fielders in the NL Central.    Where someone starts in Spring Training means 0 other than that was the open outfield place of need for this lineup.  I would like to see Chourio play everywhere and we will see him all over the outfield over the next decade .  I do not see him ever taking Center and making it his own though.    Mitchell and Perkins are just really good players who thrive there so I do not see Brian taking that work away from them any  time soon.    

I think the Murphy quote is being taken way to seriously .    He was trying to be funny there and they printed it as if he was being serious.

Great graphic ! thanks for posting.

That is not what I saw.    He did just fine for his first work of the season.   Jacob's command has never been "bad" it just has moments where it gets shaky but it is never bad for long periods of time.      

He walked a few and racked a few and hit good Velocity.   For his first start i say it looked about like you would expect.   

I am not willing to say he has bad anything .  Jacob is our best chance to have a Skenes and I am more than happy to wait on him until he can start here.    The call to push him into the bullpen must end.   He is much to valuable as a starter.    

Craig yoho can be the pitcher who tears up the pen.   Mis can play AAA until they get him ready for starting work.

He is on 1st for a good reason .   Bauers is one of our guys now and i am so glad we have him here.

he kinda reminds me of Rowdy when he was skinnier before he lost his swing altogether.    Hopefully better .

Miz does need to be a starter for this team.

He's barely played in AA, I get the excitement but let's give him some time in the upper minors first and not rush him
