Rasmus and Bautista are going to come back to the dugout and tell the pitchers to get the damn ball down. -
Fiers location is pretty solid, and his breakkaball has been pretty darn nasty.
-
7! Someone hit a homerun for cryin out loud!
-
Double number 6.
-
Bye J.A.
-
Happ is certainly doing the hitters a favor and getting the ball up routinely.
-
That's kilos. 205 kilos. 205 stone. That would be one hefty dude.

Good thing Kawasaki triple clutched that ball.....

I think you missed my point. WHen someone is a 32nd rounder, there's a reason, or more likely, a lot of reasons. We can't even say "The Brewers saw something no one else did", or he'd probably have been snatched before the 32nd round, or he'd have progressed through the system faster, or something. There seems to be this bug on this board where everyone feels like our system is 'dissed' by the 'experts', and it's always punctuated by quotation marks around the word 'experts'. People feel like we've proven the "experts" wrong by hitting big on Davis. He's not that big of a sleeper, he was a 7th round pick. He's also not overproducing. He's a .780-ish OPS guy, who's producing using the one + tool he has (power). Experts aren't going to look at 32nd round guys putting up decent numbers at leagues that they're too old for and say "oh that guy's raking, we have this team ranked too low in the prospect rankings". Brewer fans had it good for so long with top ranked prospects, I find it silly that people get their feathers ruffled over prospect rankings when we're (rightfully) ranked in the bottom third for a number of years.

Given the big league success of two other "under the expert radar" Brewer products, Davis and Gennett, I think it's a fair question whether they have another one the experts overlooked in Rogers. These guys were all toiling in a Brewer farm system when it was rated at the bottom. I don't think it's fair to say that Rodgers was "under the experts" radar, as if he was some hidden gem we knew about and they didn't. He was a 32nd round pick, and has been old for the leagues he's been in all the way up the ladder. He's been good, not great, and only the last few years has he started showing the power that you'd think a guy his size would display.

There's a lot of talk about trading Gallardo, trading Lohse, or trading one of Gallardo or Lohse. Interesting ideas, but the truth is this. Melvin and Mark A will (once again) believe that the Brewers will be contenders going into 2015. It would be HIGHLY UNUSUAL for them to trade away a top/middle of the rotation starter going into a "go for it" season. It's just not the way Melvin operates. It's just never been part of his MO, and he's not likely to change now. I'm not *personally* questioning the strategy, I'm just saying that's not how our mustachio'd Canadian GM does things, and I see no reason to believe that he will change now. My *best guess* would be that Marco gets non-tendered, and the rotation is Gallardo, Lohse, Garza, Nelson, and Peralta. Fiers is once again the odd man out here.

I think it's way too early to be talking extension for a guy who will be in his 30's when his current contract expires. He's a very good, but not great hitter who plays a defensive position that often shows signs of early deterioration of skills. He's going to have the choice of staying at catcher (and not a lot of catchers age well into their 30's), or playing 1B. When he gets into his mid 30's, is Luc going to continue to be an .850 OPS hitter?

The Reds Infield could be their downfall
DuWayne Steurer replied to Dead Simmons's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
8 games back now, with 38 to play. They're not eliminated, but at this point, the Reds are not a factor unless they (somehow) get really hot. -
Boy have BA and Counsell run out of things to talk about.
-
Nice to see Luc light up the scoreboard today after Kershaw made him look terrible yesterday.
-
I wish they'd stop making such a big deal about Peraltas win total. Yes, it's great, but it's not an indicator of his talent.
-
Not only are we up 5, Haren is going to be at 50 pitches after this inning.
-
Lucroy 5, Dodgers 0.
-
This is the best way to look at it. Either call was 'not wrong'.
-
If Ron lets Yo start the 9th and the first 2 guys reach base, he's still a moron.
-
We have to trade for an ace, or we won't be able to beat aces like Kershaw or Wainright or David Price in the playoffs.
