  1. 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.
  2. Vaughn, Chourio, Yelich, Black. You are better than this! Even if just venting...
  3. Blake Burke having 8 stolen bases without being caught to lead the team might be the most shocking stat of the year so far.
  4. 30 pitches in the 1st... hopefully Carlos Rodriguez brought his big league cleats today.
  5. Little bit of a Sunday pickle we seem to be in here in the 1st inning..
  6. This might be the most Sunday Brewers lineup of all Sunday Brewers lineups in this current era. Miz is like the 4th longest tenured Brewers player playing today and he has been with us for about 15 minutes. Looking forward to it! Also, tickets should be "pay what you want" if your team's starting lineup doesn't have a combined .600 OPS.
  7. I'm buying up all of the Dylan O'Rae stock I can find right now.
  8. Which is an amazing asset to have as a backup. Late inning defensive everything all over the infield. I do think Jett has every opportunity to hit his way onto the roster whenever he wants to.
  9. In a world of John William Smiths.... be a Coleman McCade Crow. What a name. Let's sit em all down CMC.
  10. I've been waiting for a 20 game winner in Milwaukee for a long time. If it turns out to be a middle reliever...
  11. Will Childers is an interesting story. Drafted out of high school late. Went to college instead. Arm injuries. Undrafted. Brewers UDFA signing. Unspectacular store window numbers throughout the minors. Now closing for the AAA squad and has a chance. Looks like his fastball sits 96-97. Slider, Cutter, Change.
  12. I was hoping a Matos for Lara swap was the corresponding move for Yelich personally.
  13. I think you meant the opposite? We took Blake Burke with the comp pick.
  14. Uribe until further notice please. Get Megill right in the middle innings. Bad win but great win. Good job Patrick.
  15. The bottom 3 of our order right now (Perkins, Ortiz, Hamilton) are slugging .200, .208, and .200. That is... something.
  16. Well, the reassuring news is that the MLB record for appearances in a season is 106 and Ashby is only on pace for 96 ... so at least he isn't on pace to be the most used reliever of all time. 2nd place all time is 94. So he is on pace to be used the 2nd most of any pitcher in history through 17 games. Silver lining.
  17. I didn't want to be the first one to say it. 81 pitches and was throwing well. I would have allowed him to work the inning.
  18. Pena is not long for Appleton but O'Rae has every right to his spot currently in Biloxi. I just said this in another thread but our outfield prospect list is just about dry after Lara in the upper levels. Pena might force O'Rae out into LF and if I were O'Rae I would welcome it. There is a path there to big league at bats in Milwaukee... I'm not sure that is true at 2b for him?
  19. Yeah there was going to be movement with outfielders after the Jones promotion. Between the Berroa trade, the Black injury and now the Jones promotion ... Nashville was out of bodies to play out there. I think O'Rae would help his chances immensely if he got comfortable in the grass. Keep hitting and become position flexible. Josh A same thing.
  20. Giving up 4 runs in an inning and only throwing 16 total pitches is really impressive.
  21. It's a decent topic. Mitchell is a strikeout guy ... would you rather he be in the top of the order trying to set up the RBI producers or would you rather he be in the run producing position? Where might strikeouts hurt less/more?
