Sal might be out now, good thing they already brought lara up and didn't trade mitchell 🤣 but I swear to ***** if they bring up perkins.....

I imagine Perkins is the move because it is easy. Baddoo would be a nice guy to have now if he wasn't hurt :(

Quietly after a real slow start, Hurtubise had a really good June (.333/.419/.444) and a good start to July (.292/.414/.500). He is a lefty bat option. Would need a 40 man move, maybe Baddoo to the 60 day depending on his recovery (he is already nearing one month).

I hope the organization is taking a hard look at Miz's use the rest of the year. Since he is feeling arm fatigue, maybe it's better to keep him to six innings or a hard pitch count. Of course, fans will hate it when he's going well in a game and they have a win-for-me-right-now attitude. The organization and esp. Murph will be on the end of a lot of criticism. And of course Miz will not want to come out because he's such a competitor. The organization will need to sit down with him and help him understand why overuse can be detrimental to him and the club. But I think we have to look the entire second half of the season, and also at Miz's career overall. We do know of pitchers who burn out after a year or two.

Yeah, I thought about it after Frelick went down, and I suspect it'll be Perkins. I just don't see them going with a roster that would include a guy who apparently can't put on a glove & play defense (Yelich) & another one who I don't think they trust defensively (Black). Not to mention Vaughn, who only played somewhere other than 1B because he absolutely had to. Hurtubise would be a good 'upset pick' though. And Shewmake has never played the OF as a professional.

Agree 100% re Baddoo; this would be a perfect opportunity for him. His being out & Lockridge being gone this long is frustrating.

Could an effective opener for an inning or two factor in here? I'm not nuts on the idea of using an opener for Misiorowski, just spitballing.

I'm wondering if how they used Miz (4 innings) and Harrison on the DL with forearm tightness might be something they learned from Dodgers when a chunk of their pitching staff took a mid-season holiday and then came back strong late in the season.

Could be, I certainly don't mind resting guys here in the soft part of the schedule for a couple of weeks. And I'd much rather Murphy say his legs weren't great then his arms.

Brewers prospects must be eating good this year with all the rehab assignments!

[hoosier]

Safe to assume Shewmake/Shoemaker will be the casualty when Hamilton is done with his rehab? I can't see them carrying two spare IF guys, and neither Hamilton nor Shew have any real OF experience that I'm aware of.

Seems like it.  Wouldn't expect Perkins going down and going light in the outfield.  Pity as Shewmake has been useful enough that I'd like to see a little more before needing to DFA him.

Have the Brewers done anything to fix the gap in the wall?  Considering how long Lockridge has been out (and how painful that looked), seems like they should have come up with a solution by now.  I mean, a bunch of pool noodles would be better than having a gap.

[Outlander]

I am not there today but have not seen changes to the wall since the Lockridge injury. Considering their franchise player is in LF would think they would do something.

You would have thought they would have been vigilant since Corey Hart's gruesome injury but here we are

1. How about have all warning tracks in baseball the same width? Let’s start there.
2. And there are written notes of players’ foul balls in the press box…those things made dents and holes. How about raise that back net a few feet,

3. Pretty much every first row railing in the Loge bleachers needs to be raised….someone could easily fall.

4. Padding and gaps around the edges of the field could easily be given an upgrade.

Oddly it felt Murphy tried to stretch him in May/June games when the lead was comfortable….AND even after he had been removed from games for fear of injury.  Why the great concern now if not then?

Because Murphy learned from Counsell who we all know is a moron when it comes to managing pitchers.

Harrison continuing to trend in the right direction. No complaints during his four ups today.
