    Yes, the guy starting has been a 1 inning reliever this year, not stretched out. Kind of like they have done with Brosseau in the past wouldn't surprise me if Turang comes in for Miller rather early.
  2. Outlander
    Unless they get rid of Varland they may not be able to do much, especially with Elvis pitching so well. It is nice to have guys with options and major league experience like Miller, Cousins, Megill, Small. I hope Claudio never gets called up again with other left handed guys available.

    He is retired, no idea why the Brewers would still roster him. If you want to pay a $1 to read the article from the Scranton Times Tribune you can read this: https://www.thetimes-tribune.com/sports/railriders/pro-career-behind-him-hard-throwing-ray-black-slows-things-down-to-basics/article_f012547c-d605-5d3f-a8f1-6a59a259582d.html

    Shrinking, a show with Harrison Ford, is also very good. Liked the Tetris movie as well so worth a free trial to watch the Brewers and binge some shows. Facing a couple of former Brewers this weekend well past their primes in Greinke and Lyles and a bullpen game with left handed Rogers to start. A real opportunity to get the bats going.
  5. Outlander
    Which is a pretty big assumption with any starting rotation, certainly the case with the Brewers where there is limited to no depth.
  6. Outlander
    I don't think anybody can say his role was going to be RP this season without making assumptions, he has always been a starter and still is. They have him under control next year and actually wouldn't be surprised if he signed a couple year deal in the off season to avoid arbitration and get some more guaranteed money in '25. However, not seeing a five year deal. If his trends hold true, he should be good the rest of the year so that is all I am hoping for at this point.

    The Royals are so much worse than those two, the Athletics and Royals are clearly the worst teams in the majors. Pretty much never expect a sweep but the Brewers better sweep the Royals.
  8. Outlander
    There will be plenty of doubters until he can prove it at the major league level. They can keep him down there until July and if he is still hitting lefties there will be many that say he can't hit major league lefties. They still might even be correct. Since the Brewers are paying him a decent amount they should take another look at some point. He probably is the best first base option in the organization if Rowdy got hurt as pathetic as that is.
  9. Outlander
    Well at least they play the Royals next. The Brewers have lost their fair share against bad teams but the Royals are the worst of the worst. The best thing about Rea coming in this game is probably get to see Burnes Saturday when going to the game.
  10. Outlander
    Wiemer is actually very good against lefties but batting 9th. Counsell is just playing who he has. Voit stinks against lefties, he isn't fine, so how about the GM get rid of him and acquire a 1B that can.
  11. Outlander
    Rea probably going back to Nashville after tonight.

    It is real hard to engage on this site because every new topic looks like there are no replies to anything. If somebody starts a new topic it could really have 10 replies or none, you don't know unless you click in. Active topics with much discussion drop down because it looks like there are no replies. Basically appears to be a dead forum if a new user looks around.
  13. Outlander
    Not a good sign for Brosseau that he isn't in the lineup tonight, certainly not on the team for his defense. May be optioned after the road trip.
  14. Outlander
    We'll see but somebody has to go Sunday. If a guy like Elvis pitches 3 innings Saturday it could be him. Rea may very well lose his starting spot as well.
  15. Outlander
    The Brewers can make an incremental improvement by actually getting a right handed platoon bat that can hit LHP. Lane Thomas of the Nationals fits, get rid of Voit.
  16. Outlander
    It.is so frustrating that Voit is the platoon against LHP when he can't hit LHP. How low can he go, I guess .038 isn't low enough.
  17. Outlander
    I don't really think the Brewers are considering sending Turang down right now because of the lack of good options. Hopefully he can pick things up in the next month as I have no doubt he will be sent down when Urias come back if he continues to struggle offensively. If Anderson/Turang/Urias are all producing there are enough at bats for all.
  18. Outlander
    Obviously very small sample but Hiua is hitting lefties better than righties thus far and his k rate is lower against lefties. It is clear that the Brewers will be using Voit against LHP and if Hiura was brought up they would do the same. So the question is has Hiura actually done something to improve against lefties and the inside fastball or is it small sample nonsense.
  19. Outlander
    He appears to actually be playing better defense than he has in years. Yes, it would be helpful if he could sit against lefties, maybe can do that more with Taylor coming back. They are not releasing him this year so enough will not be enough this year. Business wise I'm sure the Brewers have a large insurance policy on him. Realistically not getting rid of him anytime soon unless there is a career ending injury.
  20. Outlander
    Very possible based on Curt Hogg, front end of the road trip.
  21. Outlander
    They are paying him anyways, just start Hiura for three games and see if he really can hit lefties. Perkins is useless.
  22. Outlander
    Any word on if Taylor is still with the team or is he done with rehab already? If healthy certainly could use him against the LHP heavy Angels.
  23. Outlander
    Lots of patience by the Brewers, fouling off pitches. Lorenzen putting in a lot of work, could be gone early.
  24. Outlander
    In general the Brewers should play Contreras more at DH, I don't exactly consider that a hot take and not sure why so many would disagree. However, do like Winker in this game. Next series against the Angels where they will likely face more lefties I think the Brewers start Contreras at DH. It is still early, Contreras will get his fair share there.
  25. Outlander
    With you there, very strange last paragraph.
