I'd say Diaz probably won't even suit up tomorrow at this juncture
-
that was about 1 inch from being really, really bad...great battling AB from Adames there. He got a couple hangers to hit and just missed but fouled off some tough ones too
-
wow...hope that was glancing off his helmet
-
looks safe
-
I think he beat that throw
-
at minimum it burns their closer for tomorrow's game...maybe he'll continue what he started last 9th inning and turn this into one of those "this team LOL" game threads after the Brewers somehow pull one out of their tails
-
The fact this team has had its two best hitters (Yelich/Contreras) basically on fire for over a month, and they are still borderline last in all of the NL in team OPS and amongst the AL dreg teams in that category just tells you how putrid the rest of the lineup has been for a loooong time.
-
he got a pretty good slider to hit there with two strikes and did nothing with it
-
And then Adames promptly gets in the hole swinging at a pitch 2 feet off the plate followed by taking a fastball right down the middle.
-
Great AB Contreras!
-
yeah...but then again they haven't won a game against the Brewers in seemingly forever...Reds looking to put together a big inning here though. Would be nice to hold them and force their key relievers to have to pitch tonight
-
Reds' key pen guys are probably a bit fatigued...still a couple cracks at 'em. That being said, now would be as good a time as any to start scoring some damn runs
-
Frelick hasn't been up long enough to forget how to hit...really would love that guy hitting leadoff right now.
-
tough luck there...
-
Cmon Abner, strikes please
-
They've already lost millions, why make it worse by keeping him on the roster?
-
I love Misiorowski....but if it took just him headlining a trade for Ohtani and a couple low level lotto tickets, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Pitching prospects flame out so frequently due to injury that it'd be hard to not just offer one really good one up for the best player in the game right now. I'd have a harder time parting ways with Chourio or Quero for a rental because they're young everyday position player prospects that project to be franchise cornerstones for at least 6 years as soon as they're brought up. I think an Ohtani trade would require much more in terms of prospect value, like two of the 3 names mentioned in this poll...I'd probably say no knowing it's just a short term rental - but it would be a total all in move just as the Brewers are getting other key arms back. Adding Ohtani's bat in the middle of the lineup and his arm every 5th/6th day would make this team really dangerous in the playoffs.

Keston Hiura has a .984 OPS in Nashville
Fear The Chorizo replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
For starters, a full MLB season - from late March through September. And I'm one who also preaches patience for guys like turang and wiemer who provide defensive value even when they aren't hitting. That hasn't happened yet for Hiura, and won't until 2024 at the earliest -
Keston Hiura has a .984 OPS in Nashville
Fear The Chorizo replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This fails to mention that he was put on waivers at the end of spring training, at which point most teams are looking to squeak guys through back onto their minor league teams and teams would be hard pressed to open up a 40 man spot for a guy with no options left. Plus, the Brewers did still value him enough to give him his $2m salary this offseason. He wasn't dfa'd in November 2022. It's never as simple as "any team could have had Hiura on waivers if they wanted him". I continue to see the defense argument posted about why Hiura isn't on the mlb roster...if the Brewers weren't so hellbent on having all their position players capable of playing multiple defensive positions, including designated freaking hitter, this wouldn't be an issue for getting him on the roster. Hiura has also played decent LF this year in Nashville, but I don't even care - designated hitters don't play the field. I don't want hiura up in Milwaukee as the DH on a roster that would still include Winker and a bevy of other AAAA utility players on the bench. I want Hiura to replace winker and be the DH, and then have a trade to add a better offensive 1B/3b. -

I think the counterpoint is that Hiura's bad rate/projection stats people endlessly use to justify keeping him off the mlb roster and not giving him one last long, extended look as this organization's DH come from small samples split up over multiple years, too. Hiura hasn't had a full season at the MLB level in his career to work through his struggles and either come out on the other end a better hitter or wash out of the organization entirely. I don't count a 60 game COVID season in year 2 of his MLB experience as one. His performance in AAA/mlb last season and AAA so far this season justify him being in MLB right now and in the everyday lineup as the DH. If the reason Hiura isn't up yet is 40 man roster manipulation through the trade deadline, it's a bad baseball move because there are plenty of players currently on the 40 man who could be DFA'd and likely wouldn't even get picked up by a different organization right now. -
He has always profiled as a plus defender at SS - he will be able to stick there defensively just fine...not putting any stock in what just 29 mlb chances there so far this year would project.
-
I think he'd be an ideal trade candidate this offseason to try and find a couple lottery ticket prospects from a team looking to fill out its rotation. Basically, get out from his final arbitration year contract and move on. He has been really good but also maddeningly inconsistent and I Jared over the past 1.5 years.
-
Not concerned with Turang at the plate at all...he wont ever hit 20HR annually, but he will improve his OBP and slg a bit better with time to more than justify starting him at shortstop and keeping his speed towards the bottom of the lineup. Let him keep developing and don't part time role him alongside a slew of veteran journeyman infielders.
-
It all makes so much sense...but then it takes too long to write in the game thread and the game ruins most of the point, lol. A good 9th inning doesn't make any of this a cold take, btw
-
reverse jinx!
