    Nestor Cortes threw 3 innings of 1 hit ball yesterday for the Sounds. 4K, 0BB. You know with everything going on over the last ~3 months I often forgot about him. Every 4th or 5th day I'd have a "that's right we still have Nestor" moment. The Brewers might be deploying an 8-man rotation coming out of the all star break.

    I'm not convinced certain people are actually Brewers fans. You can look at profiles and see all past posts... and when the posting history goes back into May and there isn't a single positive thing that has been said about any aspect of the organization... It leaves it hard to take any opinion as unbiased.

    This. I am pretty confident if Sal Frelick started on the mound for us tonight he would look goofy doing it but we would arrive in the 6th inning and he will have given up only 3 hits somehow. He is a gamer. The other two mentioned above are built in that same "chip on shoulder" mode.

    Let's see what the complainers can find to complain about now ;)

    I agree. Adding a 6th starter also then pushes Peralta past the Marlins to get the first game against the Dodgers on Monday, would give him the final start before the AS break against the Nationals, and then (pending his involvement in the AS game) he would be aligned to start the first game back from break against the Dodgers again. That feels like the correct chess move.

    Yep, I wouldn't have an issue with either if it is between those two. I just am merely pointing out Vaughn has been good since getting here and if he were to get brought up there is merit. Dalbec would likely replace Vaughn on the 40 man if he were the pick, as I'm assuming we wouldn't carry both guys.
  8. liveforoctober
    Small sample size alert! Vaughn through 10 games is slashing .256/.341/.590/.931 His .931 OPS currently leads the team*. I do think there exists a world where Vaughn for Mona/Siegler is the power bench bat we end up "acquiring" for the stretch run..

    I know you are speaking mainly on the 40 man and major league roster... and underwhelming might be a good word for it but I think there will be action out of necessity on the backend of the 40 man.. Looking at the backlog of pitchers starting at the big league level that trickles to Nashville and then to Biloxi ... I'm not sure it is smart to stop the development of your whole system like we will possibly see after the break. Guys in AA who are ready to move up to AAA like Wichrowski, Crow, possibly Kuehner, possibly Hardin already in a month?!?, etc ... Shouldn't be held back. So I look at a guy like Tobias Myers and although I really like him... he might be a guy we can easily replace because we just need one of the aforementioned guys to continue developing appropriately and we haven't lost anything. So we are in a great position to exchange our crazy surplus of arms to add to a place where we might be lacking... Whether that is positional depth in the minors or whether Tobias is the piece used to bring back a major league depth infield piece, etc Tobias being the example used here but whether it is him or Quintana or whomever... Unless we get another injury or two in the next few weeks I do think a domino has to move there.

    I don't know if 68 is too high but I am intrigued my Mason Morris from Ole Miss. Plus grade cutter to go with an upper 90s fastball. Seems like he didn't really focus on pitching until this last year or two as well. Command issues seemingly but also just used out of the pen... big kid who could benefit from starting?
  11. liveforoctober
    I'm excited for the kid. Being a 1st round pick to then being an outcast ... there has to be a little doubt that sets in at some point. Hopefully this is the first step to something fun for him. Also, he should be able to save the bullpen a bunch of innings if and when the time comes. Brooks Kieschnick is wiping away tears right now...
  12. liveforoctober
    Well Bauers just lost his pitching responsibilities...
  13. liveforoctober
    We say no pretty quickly I think. This feels like a deal just to make a deal as Durbin and Fitzgerald are redundant. Hall was the main piece of the Burnes deal and we are going to give him up after only 60 innings with us for an infielder who doesn't provide one of the two things we need (another left handed bat) and might not provide the other thing we need (power off the bench)? He would be an upgrade to Mona but it would be silly to lose a piece like DL Hall for a 25th man upgrade. We can upgrade Mona in 16 different ways and none of them cost us a major league arm.

    It's crazy all we had to give up was a competitive balance first round pick and 2 non-top 20 Red Sox prospects to get Cy Young**

    Except Collins hits right handed and Collins has a higher OPS on the season from the right side than Ward does. If Ward were to come here he would be a late inning pinch hit guy exclusively. He should never start over Collins and you aren't going to DH him over Yelich. The late inning RHB power option to hit for Durbin or Ortiz would be nice to have though.
  16. liveforoctober
    Of course, but the original poster was saying we should trade Miz this off-season to maximize our return knowing he is going to get hurt someday in the future. So I was just offering the other side of the spectrum and requesting we meet somewhere in the middle..
  17. liveforoctober
    Nolan Ryan threw 150 pitches at 100mph every 120 hours for 26 years before his arm went. Let's keep Miz around for a few years before we get scared of the what ifs please.

    https://worldbaseball.com/brewers-sign-19-year-old-taiwanese-rhp-to-minor-league-contract/ RHP Chang Tzu-Chun Lin, 19yo "Lin is a 19-year-old right-handed pitcher who was expected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming Chinese Professional Baseball League Mid-Season Rookie Draft on June 30, but he has chosen not to register. Instead, he signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers with a $250,000 signing bonus. The Brewers have assigned him to the Dominican Summer League Brewers. Lin will now try to make his way from rookie ball up through the Brewers system." The 19-year-old has touched 94 mph with his fastball. He graduated from Hsinchu City Chengde High School last year and was studying at Kainan University. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners also reportedly made an offer to Lin, but he ended up signing with the Brewers. The Brewers have developed a reputation for developing pitching and will now get to work with Lin.

    .. and I guess I just mean how much effort it looks like he is giving. Every swing his back foot grinds a half inch into the ground..
  20. liveforoctober
    This is a random observation but for a guy that is always harped on for making soft contact and not being a power hitter.. in person, I don't know that another player swings harder than Sal Frelick.
  21. liveforoctober
    I'm at the game, can someone confirm Durbin had that throw beat by 3ft even if on target?
  22. liveforoctober
    Having Collins and Turang back to back in the lineup has got to be annoying as heck for pitchers. I feel like they take 10+ combined pitches between the two of them each time through.
  23. liveforoctober
    Mlb pipeline had Rodriguez as the Brewers' #7 prospect and 10 weeks later fangraphs has him as the 31st prospect for the Red Sox?
  24. liveforoctober
    Collins is grading out as the best defensive LF in baseball right now to go along with a 117 OPS+ ... he is playing better baseball than Reynolds is and it isn't very close. Not saying Reynolds won't resurface ... but barring injury Collins is our LF the rest of the year. Perkins is the depth piece we need in the outfield.
  25. liveforoctober
    You hate his injuries. Unless you think he is faking them.
