Forget AAA, call Tyler Black to the majors right now
CheezWizHed replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Only if he is 6'2"? Prince Fielder says hi!. Owen Miller is 5'11" (as is Prince). Sure, that might be nice. Would be nice if our 1B hit 300 and 50 HR/year too. Owen Miller has been our best defensive 1B we've had for a few years and his height doesn't bother him. If Black can do about that while hitting 270/410/445 (his MiLB averages), I'd happily take that at 1B. -

CheezWizHed replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
How is Black's D at 3B? I recall that being a draft-day drawback with perhaps a move to 2B necessary, but I haven't paid close attention to it since. If his D is poor, maybe 1B could be a long-term home... Our 1B cupboard is SO bare... -
Statistically, I have no doubts that larger bankrolls give team a greater chance to win simply because you can "eat your mistakes" easier. But it is nice to see that baseball is a team game and just throwing a bunch of high-priced players on a team doesn't guarantee winning. Coaching and clubhouse vibes are still important.

Can't complain about the top or bottom of the NL Central either...

I'm old but don't know it. 😂 I jumped, but my left leg said "nope". I actually blocked the spike without getting off the ground, but limped around for a week after...

Adames got hot recently, but was pretty poor before. Tellez has been pretty bad all year. Urias wasn't there long with his injury, but also very low. Winker of course. Even Brian Anderson could look more like a younger version of himself (yes, easier said than done and self-realized as I tried playing in a volleyball tournament last week... ouch!) Yes, with our BA and OPS so low, we can't be too picky here. DH and 1B are obvious areas to upgrade and should be the easiest as they are or can be hit-first players (i.e. defense second). RF and 3B could be better too.

1) What Corbin Burnes will be pitching for us in the second half? Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? 2) Will CC continue to force Winker into the line-up? 3) Which of the struggling sluggers will join Yelich in a resurgence? 4) What trades are made to improve our offense? And who steps out to make room for them?

Thank you Spencer Michaelis. Very nice writeups the last couple days.

The Wilken/Knoth combo feels a lot like our normal "got a deal with the second so take an underslot with the first to double-dip" draft approach (e.g. Brown/Misiorowski of last year). But Pratt feels a little odd to me. I wonder if something happened mid-draft that alerted the Brewers that he was signable so they grabbed him in the 6th round when they hadn't planned to earlier? Otherwise, you'd expect him a bit higher... I can't imagine they would do it without being sure they can sign their top 10 (per their normal draft approach anyway).

With Twitter and the internet in general, I have fairly low expectations for the ability of sports bloggers to write a decent article,. But my goodness there are people out there that couldn't pass a jr high grammar class. I don't know if I could intentionally write this poorly. Players like Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster, who had seen a lot of snaps for the Packers in recent seasons, were, for the most part, strictly interior defenders and more so space eaters rather than penetrating defensive linemen, which this system requires, and is the type of player Devonte Wyatt, a 2022 draft pick, is. https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2023/07/11/packers-emphasize-versatility-along-defensive-front-to-maximize-scheme/

South metro Twin Cities. I was just in Chetek, WI and they had them in droves. Perhaps they are slow in coming, but I know both are helping. I started Milky spore in 2021 (it takes a year to effect as it kills the grubs). Last July, they came out strong, but reduced. Then in Aug sometime I started using Neem oil. They would land on the plant but not eat it. In years past, they were so bad, they bronzed one of my apple trees. I started using traps (yes, they might attract from neighbors, but it was so bad, I had to) and I would replace the bag weekly in two traps. Last year, I only had one bag per trap for the whole season. This year, no traps and only spraying neem oil weekly with the milky spore doing its thing from a couple years ago. The contrast is very stark. And both solutions are natural solutions, so I appreciate not having chemical pesticides on my fruit trees.
-
I see one or two June bugs every year at my house. But until this year, we had thousands of Japanese beetles. Pretty, but terrible on my fruit trees. Milky spore in the ground and cold pressed neem oil on the trees was the solution. I started that late last year and it really knocked them back (but they did a lot of damage before I figured it out). Now, I've seen maybe a dozen this year with very minimal leaf damage. Now for the box elder bugs.

I'd love to live in Bozemon, MT or Coeur d'Alene, ID or anywhere between. Beautiful country. My grandparents moved to Port Hill, ID when I was young and we visited several times. Glacier > Yellowstone.

Well, last year did no favors to Crowder... bad attitude with Phoenix led him to not playing for half the year. Then a forced trade and poor performance post-trade... He probably could've gotten more than the minimum somewhere, but this is probably the type if deal he needs to take to stay with a contender. And he said he wants to play with the Bucks, right?
-
Aargh.... Burnes' blow up Inning, Peralta's control, and Woody's health... its like all three of their major weaknesses all strike at the same time.
-
To show it mathematically (thus, I MUST be right!): Hauser @SP > Rea @SP but Hauser @RP + Rea @SP > Hauser @SP + Rea @RP The real question is when does Woody come back???

Wouldn't it be better to watch Mr. Roger's Neighborhood then? He actually gives good advice. 😂
-
Or a starter on Dick Bennett's WI team... This kind of tells me two things: 1) He gets hyped for his BB IQ, so I take that as REALLY high IQ. 2) Second round picks are such low value, they are given away for $$. You have to take risks to find gold.
-
Regarding Khris and the cap... as I read it, declining the option was the only way we could reduce his cap number. He can now sign for less/year (longer years). Thought I read someone speculating on Brooks and Mids coming back at lower numbers so the Bucks could get the mid-level exception back... but I don't remember seeing the numbers added up, so don't quote me on that.

Well, shooting is a major flaw in playing BBall. 😂 I was scratching my head last night; kind of hoping for a EU high-upside type that would sit in Europe for a year or two. But both the guys we got were interesting physical specimens. Between them and Beauchamp, hopefully one learns to shoot. We certainly do have "a type" in drafting tendencies. I did love that we could grab our 2nd rounder from 7 years in the future, throw in some cash and suddenly we have a high second rounder. People really don't value them much.

Hire Louis Ely and your Woah are solvvd!
-
I've known this guy for years... on an internet chat board... but he has great NFL draft write-ups! 😂 @LouisEly I do hope the job search is going well.

I seem to remember Myers being projected in the 3rd round, maybe 4th. Not 6th. Being picked at the end of the 2nd wasn't much of a reach. Picking Myers over Humphrey hurts of course... And I agree that moving laterally seems to be a bit of a weakness for him. Moving vertically (i.e. second level and going up field at guys) seems to be a strength for him. He'll be slow, especially on that first step to get someone on a reach block, but once he gets going, he moves well.
-
Yeah, I thought about Tom at center and Myers at G, but it doesn't seem like there is any path to that with the team. But I disagree about his athletism. He actually does well getting to the second level and leading the run. I think his misses come more from instincts/lack of experience. Maybe he is thinking too much and tends to whiff when he doesn't get a good start; especially on reach blocks. Maybe experience helps things slow down for him this year (basicallly having played just over one season). Or maybe he'd be a much better guard when he really only has to focus on the person directly in front of him.

I could've bought Walmart, Microsoft, Google and Amazon before they exploded too. Life would be very different if we could predict the future.
