I don't want to keep on saying the same thing over and over... But I saw Ashby and threw my hands up. Up 5 is not his spot. Now he is unusable for Gm 2 and tomorrow as well after 2 innings.
-
That was a pretty gnarly slide from Pena to score.
-
I'm here in Appleton. It is cold. I actually feel bad for that kid.. He is blowing on his hands after every single pitch... I am not sure that he was able to feel the baseball much for the first five or six batters.. He's just now starting to throw strikes and his velocity is ticking upwards a little bit.
-
If we are adding a bullpen arm between Gasser and Henderson the RHP makes more sense than the LHP just balance wise. Thankful the Nashville -> KC trip is not a long one. Those late night calls to get to another city in a pinch like this are not ideal.
-
It's actually sinful how full our lineups are in AAA, AA, and A+. Random notes... I know a few have mentioned him on this MiLB board here but on the big league board it feels like Boeve is a forgotten man. Where is ARob? Did Boeve play with an injury all of last year that was not disclosed? If he turns into 2024 Boeve and Blake Burke looks like Blake Burke looks suddenly our corner infield spots are just as jammed as our middle infield spots.
-
It's amazing that we go all off season without baseball but then as soon as it starts back up again every single off day feels like a week and a half that we don't get to watch them play.

Lara is incredibly interesting. Is he the most "under the radar" top 20 prospect we have? Has to be right? The defense is elite. If he hits in Nashville that puts Jett Williams in no man's land AND/OR puts Lara on every team's radar. This team and farm system is so fun right now. It is an embarrassment of riches.

Your 2026 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
liveforoctober replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Timber Rattlers have already postponed their opener tomorrow as we are getting a storm pushing through. Hopefully it is just a cold rain/sleet and doesn't turn into any flurries. It looks like we will be fighting the rain all day and the temps should hold above freezing though past dawn. Double header currently scheduled for Friday - it will be a chilly one. High of 43, low of 32. Saturday doesn't look much warmer. The Rattlers won't be home again then until the 14th and we should be ok by then. But these first 3 games are going to be cold. -
I do see the change now and I am glad. Joey deserved the hit as much as Carson didn't deserve the error.
-
All hail MLB Wins leader* Aaron Ashby.
-
Durbin 0-4. Golly he needs a busted bat single somewhere. This has got to be stressful in a new place.
-
Do I hear Jake Woodford's music?
-
Both MLB.com and ESPN have that Ortiz at bat as an error on Williams... that's a tough break for both parties, that ball was torched.
-
You still have no idea what I'm talking about and that's ok. This has nothing to do with Garrett Mitchell or Joey Wiemer. I'm talking macro vs micro performance. It's ok if you and I don't know how to talk to each other my guy! Go Brewers. We can be done here.
-
Dang, just looking at scores ... Shane Smith got rocked by the Marlins.
-
Hamilton gets an assist on that one I think... he has a Gomez aura on the bases.
-
Considering what I'm referring to Wiemer is incredibly relevant. But we don't need to keep doing this, I appreciate the convo. Obviously, we are talking about two different things.
-
That'll do Miz.
-
Absolutely and this is the kind of macro perspective and conversation that allows teams to identify cast offs and 'he is what he is' types who just had other uphill circumstances that stunted development. There are a lot of teams who should be salivating at the prospect of the Brewers cutting ties with Garrett Mitchell and his < $1mil salary.
-
Yeah, I don't mind the criticisms of the player for his warts but calling him a finished product is a wild take. Luis Lara has like 400 more professional plate appearances than Mitchell does. Luke Adams has over a hundred more. Brock Wilken has the same amount. Cooper Pratt will have the same amount soon. He just hasn't gotten game reps like his peers have. There is another former Brewers farmhand who is playing for the Nationals right now who came up with Mitchell and is just now getting to 2000 career plate appearances. Just had a historic start to the season at the plate. We ran him out of town years ago when he "couldn't figure it out" when he was just crossing ~1000 plate appearances.
-
He may never be a finished product if he can't play, but after hearing you say that I don't think that is what you are meaning anymore. I think you are just saying he is running out of time, which is a whole different discussion and one that I would be more apt to agree with.
-
Because if we are counting Milb and MLB as professional at bats ... they have roughly the same number of at bats in their careers. If Mitchell doesn't get regular at bats to start this year ... Pratt will have more professional at bats than Mitchell in about a month. Mitchell has just over 1000 pro at bats. For reference, Sal Frelick was drafted a year AFTER Mitchell and has 2,400. I still wouldn't say Sal is a completed offensive player. I'm just saying to call Garrett Mitchell a finished product right now is a bit dismissive.
-
A couple of interesting nuances that have been asked on Twitter and I thought were good discussion points. Regarding overturned calls, if it is a 3-1 count with a runner on 1st and the runner takes off for second and the pitch is called a strike and the runner is thrown out and then the better challenges and wins the challenge... The runner gets second base, correct? Additionally, if it is a 2-2 count and the runner takes off from first and the pitch is called a strike... If the catcher thinks it is borderline he should still throw down to 2nd, correct? Because if the play is challenged and overturned.. doesn't the runner get second base with no play made otherwise?
-
Would you say Cooper Pratt is a finished product offensively?
