  1. Tip of the cap to Brady Ebel. The anchor is up and the sail has finally caught some wind... now let's be on our way.
  2. Hard to compete against the best pitcher in baseball with this lineup, right boys? ;)
  3. Made the drive last night from the Fox Valley just in case I could catch back to back no hitters from TS and PK. Pleased as punch to not hit that parlay. This stadium is awesome by the way. My first time. 360 sight lines (Sans the batters eye) and all of them good to great views of the game. Would recommend. I will come back here for sure.
  4. This is the play before/during. No one is shown but you can hear the commentary team talking through/confused at the situation.
  5. Oh my gosh, this all sounds horrible. I hope good news arrives quickly.
  6. Well he has his second hit and it is just the 3rd inning. Maybe I should have contemplated between 3 and 4. 3 more steals to boot as well. What is going on with this kid?!
  7. I can't decide if I think Dylan O'Rae is going to have 3 hits today or just 2...
  8. 100%. Worst case scenario a late season call up. But if Mitchell sustained any kind of long term injury I would think he would be the regular guy in CF. I assume they just want him getting regular at bats wherever he is.
  9. Keep an eye on Ortiz... That was pretty direct to the thumb. #Jett #Pratt?!
  10. Hamilton could never grow that good of a beard...
  11. These team is going to be awesome when Garrett Mitchell is asked to be our 7th best hitter and not our 3rd best hitter.
  12. That was a hysterical route to the ball by Baez.
  13. Braylon Payne is awesome. After trading Yoph last year the outfield cupboards were BARE after Lara. Moving Josh to left and having Payne come out so strong to start this year makes me feel a lot better about the outfield funnel.
  14. Seeing that Aaron Ashby has thrown the least amount of pitches out of anyone in our bullpen the last 5 combined days is as shocking as Blake Burke leading Biloxi in stolen bases. Not throwing since last Thursday must have him jittery. Murphy might have him warm up in the 2nd just to be ready.
  15. I agree with this and I would assume the Brewers would as well. Makes for a much easier 'shuttle' scenario for their bullpen and you can also rehab guys against competition a few notches higher without having to put them on a plane.
  16. Do we think having both an Appleton affiliate and a Madison affiliate would vulture each other in terms of support ('I'm assuming we are talking about having both an A+ in Appleton and then an AAA in Madison in this scenario)? I live in Appleton now and go to double digit TRats games a year... off the top of my head if Madison became an AAA affiliate of the Brewers I would probably go once or twice a year? Between the TRats, the Madison Beer Barrels, and the Brewers that is a LOT of consumption for even big Brewers fans. One other nugget: Having half of your pro affiliates in a cold weather spot makes for a tough spring every year. The TRats are 3 weeks in and have either been rained out or have been wearing 3 layers for every game so far.
  17. I think the biggest difference for me mentally with pitching over hitting re: our system is that we have control over our entire MLB pitching staff (sans Woodruff) for the next half decade. A legit 8+ arms that we have for a long time... So the NEED for pitching prospects isn't as dire and we can be a bit more patient with the guys on the lower levels. The work never stops but from an arms perspective there is space to breathe given the depth and youth at the top level.
  18. Hamilton is a career .219 hitter. Perkins is a career .228 hitter. Matos is a career .230 hitter. Baddoo would be up here right now if he wasn't hurt. Black would have gotten the Jones call if wasn't hurt. These are exactly the guys you are asking for. It really sucks they all have to play AND are all scuffling at the same time because we are so hurt. Perkins, in theory, was the perfect vet to stash in AAA to start the year because he is that player - a guy who can switch hit, play good defense and hit above the Uecker line. Matos was acquired on the cheap to be that guy as well. "How can Arnold look in the mirror?" - he tried! He had the vet stashed in AAA (he had 3 of them!), he went out and got a guy in season who SHOULD be a bandaid. If Sal wasn't scuffling too we would have one less guy to worry about but as it is all of these guys have to play. It isn't great. We traded away Collins in part because we had way too much MLB depth in the outfield. Chourio, Frelick, Mitchell, Yelich, Bauers, Lockridge, Perkins, Baddoo, Berroa, Black*. Are we really this mad at Arnold for not planning for the April 19th game when Greg Jones and Luis Matos would both start for us in the outfield because we have already lost 5* OF options to injury before the season was 15% finished? Not everything needs to be someone's fault.
  19. Vaughn, Chourio, Yelich, Black. You are better than this! Even if just venting...
  20. Blake Burke having 8 stolen bases without being caught to lead the team might be the most shocking stat of the year so far.
  21. 30 pitches in the 1st... hopefully Carlos Rodriguez brought his big league cleats today.
  22. Little bit of a Sunday pickle we seem to be in here in the 1st inning..
