    The Brewers only signed him right before Thanksgiving... you can give yourself half of a pass on this one Cross your fingers that he is Junior Guerra 2.0

    Todd Rosiak on Twitter confirming Espino is starting tomorrow.

    Favorite:Franklin. Next in line: Sogard. Darkhorse: Feliz. So you want them to go with a 14-man pitching staff and 3-man bench? Want? No. But Braun is back Monday. A pitcher makes sense but who other than Suter? Are they really going to call BS up for 72 hours and then ship him out again? Yeah... now that you say it that is exactly what they are going to do. Franklin will go when Monday hits.

    If I were Stearns I would give the start to Espino as well … however Paulo has played 7+ years in the minors and never pitched in the big leagues. There is plenty of reason to think he will be more emotional than one of the young ones would have been. The kids know they will be there someday … Espino probably has had his doubts. I’m pulling for him if he gets the call though!

    Whether or not Espino succeeds is another discussion … but I’m excited if he gets a spot start+ because he might have the most obnoxious 12-6 curve we have seen since Sheets. Love it. Furthermore, the move to the pen has potential to have a very happy ending for Peralta. He has two pitches which isn’t nearly as big a problem in the pen and he can add a tick to his velocity coming out there. I think he can help the team.

    We can't make important decisions based on small samples. Believing that Sogard is a long-term upgrade based on a few games is akin to believing that Nelson is now a stud #1 based on his last couple of outings. Let Sogard ride out this hot streak while half our team is injured, but he'll drop back to what we expected when we picked him up. He's capable of being an okay placeholder, but not someone for the long-term plans. Villar has a chance of becoming an above average MLB player, so we need to ride out his bad start to see if he can get things going. 25% of a season is not enough time to make that determination when he has some history of being better. I could see him getting some extra days off, or moving him down in the order, but he should remain our starting 2B. His potential upside benefit for this team, both now and for the future, is too high for us to replace him with someone with little present value and basically no future value in Sogard. .. and I think this is likely what is being suggested. If we happened to bring Sogard up at the exact time he is seeing the ball extremely well and it coincides at a time when Villar is pressing, then it might be a great time to let Villar breathe a bit. I certainly understand letting someone work their way out of a slump but it is also just as likely that someone could develop bad habits that take months to repair. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think anyone is suggesting replacing Villar permanently. But a week of limited use or careful use can be constructive.

    So play GM for me. I know Sogard has an option left and Franklin doesn’t … can Sogard play left at all? I know it is a 10 at bat hot streak … but when Braun comes back what are the reasons to keep Franklin over Sogard at this point? We brought in Franklin to be Scooter with versatility, but it seems Sogard is that guy instead of Franklin, no?

    I was waiting for someone to post about this. My brothers and I built a wiffleball park on my parents property and to this day when we get a 2-0 count on one of us someone will be yelling something along the lines of “What would Chuckie do?!” “”You better be hackin’!” etc.
  10. liveforoctober
    I think I agree with you. If Wily was DFA'd I think he would be the Mets new closer within 72 hours.
  11. liveforoctober
    Missed this a few days back but the first trade with the Marlins in 21 years! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/05/marlins-acquire-nick-noonan-from-brewers.html

    Anyone else think Pina screamed "mom" when he hit it?
  13. liveforoctober
    I was in the camp of "let's bring up Phillips and see what he can do in 10 days" ... but thus far the Sogard call up has resulted in 4-5 with 2 HRs, 3 RBIs, while reaching base 7 out of 8 times between he and Perez. Won us the game yesterday. Stearns 1, LiveforOctober 0.
  14. liveforoctober
    Hmm, the old strike em out, throw em out but WAIT we scored play? Little confused watching gameday update that one. Obviously Hernan got caught in a run down? Did he just stay in it long enough to score Villar or did they go home with it?
  15. liveforoctober
    We have the best offensive shortstops in baseball.
  16. liveforoctober
    On another note... great job Matt Garza. In line for the win (knock on wood), 6 innings to give the bullpen a touch a breathing room, ERA below stays south of 3 ... slowly building that trade value. Good job
  17. liveforoctober
    Eric Sogard is the best player in Brewers history.
  18. liveforoctober
    Only 1-0 but great start for the Crew in the sense that Harvey is already at 50 pitches in the 3rd. Mets pen is hurt and overworked and if we can make them eat 5+ innings in the opener.. hopefully that sets up some favorable match-ups in the next couple days.. As I'm typing this Perez goes deep. What a call up with Sogard! Produces a HR already
  19. liveforoctober
    Kind of surprising. This must mean all of Braun's at bats will be going to Perez and Aguilar I'm assuming? If we are assuming only a 10 day stint on the DL, is 'not wanting to break up the rhythm' that the top OF prospects have currently a legit excuse not to give one of them 20+ big league at bats right now?
  20. liveforoctober
    I'll be the first to be slightly disappointed Keon isn't leading off again. 2 spot is ok but it seems to be a fix while Thames sits. Villar needs to take a deep breath down in the 7 hole I think for a bit. Hope I'm wrong.
  21. liveforoctober
    In the short term I hope it is the former.
  22. liveforoctober
    Just had the conversation last night on this board somewhere that Broxton should be leading off in the short term to take some pressure off of Villar. Happy to see this actually. If Keon has a good night at the plate again I would anticipate him leading off for a few days/weeks.
  23. liveforoctober
    Seems like a really well spoken kid with his head on correctly. Best of luck to him, he will do well out there.
  24. liveforoctober
    He's suddenly got an OPS of .812. Yes, he's been hitting well of late and he should be batting leadoff. I said that two nights ago to a friend ... Villar needs to take some pressure off of himself. Flip Broxton and Villar for a week.
  25. liveforoctober
    Would be lovely to get through the entire Boston bullpen in this game. Let's run Drew out of here by the 3rd..
