well done. what else do you hope for tonight? -
I don't disagree re: brick wall. Best case scenario for me is we bring him up soon and he fills the Lockridge role and offers another RH bat off the bench for a month... he plays well and then sometime in late June/early July we can send him along with a low level ticket to some team that is already out of it for a bullpen arm or something.
-
I think so, yes. He would need exposure to waivers if sent back down. My whole deal with him is if not now, when? He isn't going to be a long term option for us, so his opportunity to help the big league club is now. Otherwise we are saying he is a "break glass in case of emergency" guy for us... which is fine if true but I feel we can utilize the asset better? If he comes up and shows well, he has created a small trade value that could be capitalized upon if we need to send him back down. If he comes up and doesn't show well, he either clears waivers ala Greg Jones/Luis Matos or we lose him to a waiver claim - in which case he wasn't going to get another call up in that instance anyway and we will need a spot or two available for promotions to AAA as it is. The only reason to hold him full season without an early season opportunity is in case we suffer multiple injuries late in the year ... but by then both Jett and Pratt will be the next in line for a RH hitting infield/outfield option to be brought up. He is hitting well and we could use another RH bat ... we haven't hit LHP well at all this year. I feel like he can help and his opportunity to help is now IMHO.

Just left the TRats game. Highlight was a couple of decent hot dogs. Lowlight was the TRats game.

4 years but actually 1 year. Again, I'm not excusing the flaws but, because of the injuries, Mitchell just has had a different workload from his peers. He has just over 500 career at bats in the major leagues right now. For reference, Brice Turang had just under 600 last year alone. His time with Milwaukee might be up if he doesn't figure it out soon... But to me he is a perfect candidate to toil around for awhile until he reaches 1200-1500 professional at bats or so and suddenly turn in a 3 year run of being an .800+ OPS player. We need more production from his spot in the lineup. But I also am not on the "he is what he is" bandwagon with him considering his path thus far.

what are we even doing
-
Wouldn't be the most Brewers inning of all time without a thousand runners on base without a ball leaving the infield (until Rengifo) and also a lost challenge lol
-
Luis, keep the bat on your shoulder until he throws you a strike maybe?
-
I'm mentally noting a bases loaded at bat that isn't Joey Ortiz... feels like it hasn't happened since 2024.
-
Leonard has been my choice for a minute now. I would have had him up here a while ago.
-
An alarming number of you have not seemingly seen one of the best baseball interviews of all time...
-
Luis Rengifo has his head above water at long last. .204 after that single.
-
Here comes the classic Brewers inning... (knock on wood)
-
Well Miz looked like the best pitcher in baseball that inning. The at bats by France and Duran were two of the most uncompetitive at bats professionals could muster.
-
lol at Ortiz with them loaded again...
-
That was a crazy stretch by Vaughn. In real time I was worried he pulled something.
-
Just a random stat that semi shocked me: The Brewers have 3 guys (I'm not including Vaughn and his 6 at bats so far) who have an OPS above .700 against LHP pitching this year. That's it. 2 of those guys are Garrett Mitchell and Blake Perkins. Vaughn backs helps. Chourio back helps. Contreras will get there I'm sure. So we will be ok as long as we stay healthy but gracious..
-
I won't speak on the Marlins but the Rays are typically run so well ... Montreal would eat that up. Having a good team there would be awesome.
-
I've said this in a few threads but the forgotten man out there right now is Akil Baddoo and I think he will have a chapter written on this season before it's all said and done. I don't know if it will be a positive or negative impact but I think he will be called on soon enough once he is back.
-
I wonder how tempting it will be to put Chourio in center and have Bauers play left to keep his bat in the lineup against RHP.
-
How will we get our first 20 game winner in 4 decades if we don't pitch him?
-
Lockridge to IL…..Perkins recalled
liveforoctober replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The pending lockout changes prospect timelines for teams like Milwaukee. Any player on the 40 man roster is included in the work stoppage and can't play if the season gets put on hold. Any player not on the 40 man will still play a full minor league season. Lara is certainly in the group of guys who the Brewers will do everything they can to keep him in AAA unless (1) they have no other choice (2) he has proven he has permanently outgrown AAA. Putting him on the 40 man and calling him up for a 15 game spell in June where he gets 20 at bats just to send him back down and then lose an entire season of development next year doesn't make much sense for a team that values development and control. I have every expectation we will see Akil Baddoo in Milwaukee before Lara. -
I don't anticipate Patrick staying in the pen as I think that was just a scheduling opportunity to get him some innings there. However, if Henderson does replace him in the rotation and Patrick moves back into that high leverage multi-inning role that he has had success in.. with Shane seemingly taking to his role... The bullpen may have just shored itself up and we are a bat away from being pretty formidable.

So you didn't watch Miz in favor of the TWolves two nights ago and you turned the game off in the 8th last night. I'm sorry for saying it but I think you know what you need to do re: today's game Brock!
