Brewers trade for RHP Quinn Priester
liveforoctober replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Holy tunnel vision. -
Chad Patrick has the highest WAR of any Brewers player. Turang and Frelick are tied, if that is a metric you follow at all.
-
There is looking good and then there is making the other team look like goofballs. He struck out the side last night with 13 pitches, The Padres only fouled off two of them in that sequence. He hasn't done that before. Yesterday he looked like Billy Wagner.
-
I realize this can be taken a few different ways but according to Fangraphs WAR numbers... Isaac Collins has been our 6th most valuable position player this season and he isn't terribly far behind the next few guys ahead of him ... in about half the at bats.
-
That was as filthy as we've ever seen Ashby I think. 99 with movement and that curve/off speed? Holy buckets.
-
I definitely don't think Sal is making it... I was more or less saying he exemplifies this year's team better than the others so I'd like him to represent us if I had the choice.
-
If I had to pick someone both based on earning the spot but also representing this specific Brewers team... I am sending Sal Frelick to represent us. If I had to place a bet on it, I think Peralta will be the one who goes.
-
Contreras is hitting .333 with runners in scoring position this year (19-57). https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/39895/william-contreras We need to get on base ahead of him more so than we need someone else hitting in his spot. Chourio and Yelich's OBP (along with his drop off in XBH, granted) are the issue if we are talking about RBI opportunities for Contreras.
-
The only reason salary needs to be mentioned is if you are hoping to trade him this year so getting him good MLB reps is of the essence. If you think we are keeping him for the year then his salary has nothing to do with whether or not he is ready and can help us at the MLB level.
-
I say this with a hint of sadness, but my first glance of this tweet I read it as "replaced on roster by LHP Tommy John"
-
oh boy ... he has figured something out. here we come.

It's an odd thing to think about now given the plethora now but the Brewers still might be in the market for another arm at some point. Civale, Myers, Quintana, Woodruff, Cortes, Ashby, Hall, Gasser* all coming off of injuries. Then you have to assume there is an innings restriction to varying degrees on the rest of Patrick, Henderson, Mis, Carlos (IL), Hall, Gasser*, possibly Priester and Ashby as well. Right now it seems we have about a dozen arms at our disposal but when it is Oct 1st how many will we have left? I'm not sure how many of the young guys will be available to us. We truly only have one starter who doesn't fall into the 'hurt' or 'limited' category... it wouldn't shock me in the least if we grab a vet along the Wade Miley lines and send him to Nashville with the vision of how he could be needed later.
-
Wade Miley.
-
If both Urias and the Brewers SS/3B situation finish the season the way they started it ... acquiring Urias in the next month would add 1-2 WAR to the roster. Whether that gets us in the playoffs or not, who knows. Hopefully Durbin has discovered something and Ortiz finds anything and this convo is for nought.

Minutiae, Oddities, and Random Baseball Queries
liveforoctober replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Just for clarities' sake... are we talking about a foul ball vs a swing and a miss? So if the count is 0-0 would the pitcher rather a batter swing and miss or foul it off? -
In another thread someone scoffed at the thought of acquiring Luis Urias (or someone like him) because (paraphrase) "he isn't a needle mover and we aren't winning it all this year". There is a lot that goes into deadline deals and when and why to pull the trigger, but your line "as young players grow & learn “how to win” in the big leagues" is amongst the reasons why a minor upgrade at any position, this season specifically, can be crucial. I don't think we are winning it this year as well but we need our young guys to play as many games as possible when the season is on the line. Need stressful at bats. If a minor upgrade doesn't cost us much but it allows us to stay in the playoff race all the way until October ... that will help next year's team. That's a good deal to make. Of course, you balance that thought with the other which is moving assets you know you won't have next year for assets that could help beyond this year ... it's a tough puzzle to build.

If this is accurate then the above "sitting 90, touching 92" would make sense. The scoreboard was 88-90 all game.
-
In my mind Murph made the right decision and did this regardless ;)
-
Hoskins better hit for Ortiz if we get to that spot.
-
Well, really hope we don't mess this one up now.
-
Frelick is the easiest guy to root for.
-
Z only threw a few pitches yesterday. Would think he is ok to go.
-
Brewers did a great job clearing the pitcher's spot in the order that inning. Will have top of the order to end it!
-
I just left during the rain delay... The fastest pitch read I saw on the scoreboard from Woodruff was 90 all day. Nothing higher that I saw. His first two innings he was sitting 87 -89 and then the remainder of the game. He was sitting 88-90. Of course, this was just the scoreboard reporting so not sure if that is official or not.
-
A very light rain started to fall here in the 4th and Woodruff just gave up a leadoff single, his first hit allowed. He picked him off though.
