NASA driving by the moon comes at a great time to sustain some box office succes for it, too!

I think both Ashby and Zerpa have the stuff to get righties out just fine...and Koenig is right there, too. None of those three guys would qualify as situational lefties where a manager should start sweating if the opponent runs a few righties in a row to face them. Hall is more of a swing guy - and I'd expect him to be the arm that gets switched out with a righty coming up from AAA if things get too lefty heavy with the grind.

I'm disappointed this team isn't going to have the run differential and pythag vs actual W/L record strawmans for Cub fans to spend the season confidently stating why the Brewers arent as good as their record. I'm sure Cub fans will find other reasons, maybe team payroll difference to spend the summer acting high and mighty while looking at that yellow Brewer flag atop the NL Central on Wrigley's center field scoreboard. This team is 1 pitch away from being 6-0 and looks every bit the part despite two of their best hitters and 1 of their top 5 starters being out injured. Just give Murph manager of the year again already!

All kidding/ridicule aside, that was a brutal shot that CB just took right to the face. Sincerely hope he's ok and glad for his sake that he's not still behind the plate. Almost positive he just got concussed.
-
I joked that the over/under for number of pitches thrown before the first challenge today should be set at 3... I think the better question is regardless of the number of challenges, will either team wind up being wrong twice before the game ends?
-
I think there are quite a few "late bloomer" type players scattered across MLB who were impacted by sporadic development time early in their pro careers due to COVID (no minor league season in 2020 and a severely hampered instructional period between 2020-2021) - both collegiate and high school draftees. Wiemer fits that bill moreso than Mitchell because I think Mitchell's is more injury-related. But Mitchell got drafted in 2020 after an abbreviated collegiate season, followed by no organized instructionals/minor league development until a delayed start in 2021.

I'd rather have Mitchell starting in center while Chourio is on the IL than Perkins - and frankly I'd rather have Lockridge starting there against a lefty than Perkins, too. Probably why Perkins started the year in AAA and not Mitchell. Burning Perkins' option upfront for the year sets the stage for a rotating cluster of 4th/5th OFs once Chourio does come back in a few weeks - and honestly the Brewers may have been thinking to use Perkins' option instead of burning one for Mitchell at the start of the year assuming Mitchell is more likely to get injured and go on the IL than Perkins. Of those 3, I'd say Mitchell still has the best offensive upside should he stay healthy and get regular MLB at bats. I don't think anyone views him as a developmental prospect anymore as much as he's been an injury-plagued enigma who could still be a late bloomer if health cooperates. He's capable of a few monster 30/30 seasons with great plate discipline and GG caliber defense in center field even with high strikeout totals.
-
I think that is the nuance though - only challenge the blatantly bad calls and the ump would need to keep swallowing his pride when they are steadily overturned. ABS is designed for a CB Buckner game not to decide who wins and loses a ballgame - particularly with umps known to have inconsistent zones with some bad misses, players shouldn't be challenging ball/strike calls that are borderline early in the games.
-
I think Miz pitching to contact is always going to be a problem, moreso because hitters aren't going to hold up their end of the bargain and actually hit his stuff even when he's pounding the strike zone. Get us through 5-6 IP with around 10Ks and limit walks, and let's win the series!
-
Rasmussen's whole issue is never being able to stay healthy. He's the Garrett Mitchell of pitchers. Anytime you land your everyday SS for 3.5 years in his prime for a talented but oft-injured arm, you make that trade - especially from a Brewer's organization who knows how to develop and acquire pitching.
-
As this new world of ABS evolves, I think at some point we are going to see umps tossing players/coaches and perhaps even fans if they start getting chirped for missed calls. Already has been a few instances of umps getting noticeably frustrated by challenges.
-
Zerpa looks to be a massive addition to this year's pen. Love his pitch mix and it's decent against righties, too.
-
If chourio and Vaughn were healthy, thats where he'd be
-
He's too injury prone to know for sure what he is at the mlb level if he puts in a fully healthy season - not even 1 week of games in March isnt a sample size this year to make bold proclamations. I think Mitchell gets too passive in the box and that puts him in too many holes leading to k's.
-
Miz and Rassmussen throwing with CB behind the plate - id say the over/under for the first pitch call challenge tomorrow would be the third pitch of the game, lol.
-
Sorry way too many posts....glad seeing the bats wake up!
-
The entire stadium is laughing at you, CB
-
I dont see how Buckner makes it to the all star break with ABS
-
Holy CB buckner
-
That was a bomb!
-
They got it right!
-
Should be a 3rd run and safe at second...ball came out on the tag
-
He does have 6ks...this is what he is at this point in his career. He will give up bombs and some loud outs but largely limits the damage and gives his team a shot to win if they opt to hit
-
A pair of solo homers arent the end of the world across 5 innings pitched...but it seems that way when the offense hasnt shown up for 1.5 games

2026 Misc MLB News Thread
Fear The Chorizo replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
If I'm Boston I think I stop trading young pitching they can't get the most from to Milwaukee - it was just about a year ago they sent Priester to us for Yophery (still a solid prospect but he had a subpar 2025 in high A for the Red Sox).
