Brewers (Sproat) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 5/6/26, 12:15pm

[RobertCrawley]

If you're hitting .184, you have to field that.

[adambr2]

You don’t hit nearly well enough to boot that ball.

[RobertCrawley]

Always love beating the Cards.

Let's see if the vulture did enough to grab the win here.

Holy smokes a Jason Alexander sighting in Houston...

[adambr2]

I’ll take a split in St Louis. Still trending in the right direction. Catch em one at a time - tough part of the schedule coming up, so hopefully we can get through it okay.

I wonder what our record would be if Chourio hadn’t been injured 

Better haha

[liveforoctober]

Jett Williams 2-4 today ... avg up to .244 with a .351 OBP. OPS climbs above .700 finally.

A couple good weeks is all he needs.. we have a few 40man roster spots open now too.

Where would we be without an AI agent to give us this information?  Pretty cool, though.

[Jim French Stepstool]

It might be time to do away with the 'starter has to go 5 innings' thing to get credit for a win. If he goes less, leaves with a lead that's never relinquished & the BP load is diced up among 3-4 pitchers then leave it up to the official scorer. 

I get the strategy today---off day yesterday, off day tomorrow, guys in the pen who haven't thrown a lot, and Sproat seems to hit a wall around 65-75---but I thought this was a good day to try to get him through five since we had a cushion. Iffy first two innings, then a great one, then another iffy one.........I'd have given him a batter or two into the 5th to try to 'build' a little more.

Hamiltons' ability to get the ball down & get to full speed immediately---I don't know if I've seen anything like it. Ortiz being behind him dampens it somewhat, but not enough to take it away from him. I'd actually love for him to be hitting 9th but when he & Ortiz are playing together you just can't.

Hitless today but Tyler Black put up a terrific AB in the opening inning. Really seems to be seeing the ball.

D L Hall is becoming quite unsung, in a very good way.

brewers look really gunshy on these challenges right now

The team probably got chewed out for over doing it the 1st month.

[BarremlensTSSC]

Sorry I had to work and missed that one today.  Highlights were fun.

 

Also, after the last 6 years I don't even know what to do with a Brewers team who's actual record is worse than their Pythag.  It's disorienting.

Welcome back Andrew!

I bet Murph sleeps a bit better having those 2 back in the lineup.

[BruisedCrew]

For the time being I want to see Bauers in the lineup every day against RH starters. And when Yelich gets back, if nothing else changes I would seriously think about using Bauers in the outfield with Vaughn at 1B.

Just a quick check in on the 3 bigger trades we made this off season:

Out (BRef numbers):

Collins (.2 WAR)

Mears (.4 WAR)

Durbin (.5 WAR)

Mona/Seigler (0 WAR combined)

Peralta (.6 WAR)

Total: 1.7 WAR outbound

 

In 

Zerpa (-.7 WAR)

Harrison (1.1 WAR)

Hamilton (.5 WAR)

Drohan (-.1 WAR)

Sproat (-.3 WAR)

Jett (XX)

Total: .5 WAR inbound

 

A lot more goes into it than just pure person to person comparisons but initial reaction is the Brewers absolutely stole one from Boston, short term lost the NY trade (expected), and unfortunately took it on the chin with KC.

Long term love what Drohan and Sproat are showing glimpses of and Harrison is a prize so those two trades will (should) pay dividends. Let's not talk about the KC deal for a while.

Both Durbin and Collins seem to be rebounding after slow starts... will be interesting to see where these numbers end up around the all star break and after. Drohan seems to have found a spot in the pen and Sproat has looked better and maybe we get a Jett appearance at some point?

Great insight, and it will be worth re-visiting at the all-star break and season's end.

Thanks for the information.
