wasn't his wife having some difficulties with her pregnancy Yeah, she was in California having a difficult pregnancy with twins. When they were born, they were his fifth and sixth children. Matt would have been leaving the team at some point either way.

The first 20 days a player spends in the minors count as Major League service time. But once 20 days are spent in the minors, the service time is gone. Maybe it's the 21st day when the option is used and the service time is gone. The contract is written in legalese, which makes it clear as mud to us normal folks. Anyway, to gain the extra year, I'd think that 46 days would be closer than 66. I think Outlander's interpretation makes sense when he rounds it off to about a month and a half. That leaves room to give or take a few days days, which is fine from a fan perspective. The Brewers and the Commissioner's office would know the exact number.

There's a nice article about Zach by Mike Bauman on brewers.com. The article also mentions that Terry Collins missed today's game due to an "undisclosed medical condition" and will be spending the night at Froedtert. I hope he's OK.

More like a month and a half, a full year is 172 days but the season has more than that many days, more like 182. That makes sense. I didn't think of the opportunity to earn those extra few days. That would still open the door to bringing him back at the trade deadline.

I think he has to be down 3 weeks minimum before his service time is paused. Or 3weeks minimum in order to count his days down against his service time. Lemme google search.... If Peralta spends less than 20 days in the minors, those days count as major league service time and the option isn't used. I would think he'd need to spend 34 days for the Brewers to get another year of control. That's mid to late July. It could be that Garza is traded at the deadline and Wily becomes his replacement. A lot would have to go right for that to happen, but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Davies and Broxton were busy on the basepaths today. And Scooter had a double and single off of Matz.

Tommy Lasorda is at the ballpark today.

Where did you hear this? I'm not seeing anything on the Brewers site or elsewhere on the web yet.

I heard the Brady Whalen pick by the Cardinals on the webcast, and Shawn was mentioned when Brady's name was called in. It's pretty cool how nods are given to people in the game when picks are made.

Wily stared at his home run. Is Verrett supposed to plunk him in his next AB?

Bingo!

Villar has little pink stripes in his eye black. And on the scoreboard, the Brewer photos have been photoshopped to make them become Star Wars characters.

That change happened after the fiasco in San Diego last year. I don't recall the player's name offhand, but everyone knew for months that he was the PTBNL in a trade.

It's a good idea to post this separately to draw attention to the fact that Braden is pitching right now. If something like this happens in the future, people should do the same thing. But I'll lock and direct further discussion to the Rounds 1-5 Draft thread.

Just a reminder that any "play by play" starting with Round 21 should into the Rounds 21-40 topic. I figured I should mention that because it feels like we're robots on an assembly line. Of course, any dissection, digestion, and discussion should go into the thread that fits.

mlb.com is up to date now.

Well, I'm going to need to answer the call of nature soon. That'll likely cause me to miss a round.
