    Just realized the Brewers are likely to face two LHP starters in San Diego (Blake Snell and Sean Manaea) to sandwich Yu Darvish’s Tuesday start.

    Freddy Peralta leaving with an apparent shoulder issue on the verge of a 10-day, 11-game road trip. That’s not great news.
  3. Eye Black
    Brewers can’t stop Babe Thomas from doing damage with the bat this series.
  4. Eye Black
    Rock says he wasn’t out of the baseline and seems shocked he was called out. I personally didn’t think it was an egregiously bad call, he was definitely on the grass.
  5. Eye Black
    Freddy’s defense is really letting him down today, good grief. This must be what it’s like to pitch for the Phillies.

    I think you’re probably right, but I noticed Brice Turang is out of the lineup in Nashville today and I was on the verge of going full conspiracy theory. Probably just a coincidence, but they certainly could’ve used him in Milwaukee today. That being said, I do realize you probably don’t want to put a guy on the 40-man roster just to help cover one game, especially when your primary shortstop is expected back by the end of the week.

    Agree that having Brosseau uncomfortably try to play shortstop is a huge mistake. I wonder if Urias is indeed injured?
  8. Eye Black
    Two innings in a row having Brosseau at SS has cost the Brewers. This time it leads to runs and additional pitches for Freddy who already has a high pitch count.

    Apparently a Sunday [production crew] lineup for Bally as well, they tried to run off into the commercial break after the second out of the inning. ?
  10. Eye Black
    Peralta did a nice job keeping his composure after the first Brosseau mistake. Thank goodness Wong saved Brosseau from his second throwing blunder being costly.

    Did I just hear that correctly, the Brewers are 20-3 when they score 4+ runs this season? That’s an 87% winning percentage when they reach 4 or more runs of support, seems pretty incredible.
  15. Eye Black
    It’s very similar to what the Dodgers have done for years as part of their player development and other teams are now [smartly] emulating.
  16. Eye Black
    The irony of that attempted jab is few managers unilaterally decide their MLB team’s lineups anymore. In the case of the Brewers there is almost certainly feedback from the front office impacting the daily lineups.
  17. Eye Black
    Could probably get Trent Grisham for cheap. ?

    I have a confession… I wanted the reverse splits narrative to be a thing (it’s certainly been stark recently), but I also knew the threshold for stabilization was high so I went back earlier this week and looked at every professional at bat Hiura has had including all minor league regular season at bats (I couldn’t find platoon splits for his time in the Arizona Fall League). Here are the overall numbers throughout his professional career… vs. RHP: 1,467 PA / 1,308 AB / 201 1B / 83 2B / 13 3B / 65 HR / 109 BB / 400 SO / 42 HBP vs. RHP: .277 BA / .351 OBP / .509 SLG / .860 OPS / 27.3% SO% vs. LHP: 569 PA / 498 AB / 91 1B / 29 2B / 3 3B / 21 HR / 54 BB / 172 SO / 13 HBP vs. LHP: .289 BA / .378 OBP / .486 SLG / .864 OPS / 30.2% SO% His slugging and strikeout rate have been better against RHP, but not by nearly as much as I anticipated. That being said, he’s certainly been in a funk against LHP recently and has been worse against MLB southpaws than MLB righties.

    The Nationals have lost all 8 of Patrick Corbin’s previous starts this season. Below is his Game Log this season (listed beginning with his most recent outing). For the Brewers it’s the 3rd LHP starter they faced in the past four games. On the 2022 season the Brewers have a 90 wRC+ versus LHPs (391 plate appearances) as opposed to a 112 wRC+ against RHPs (1,061 plate appearances).

    Ethan Small was ranked as Baseball America’s #45 overall draft prospect in 2019 before the Brewers drafted him at 28th overall. Looking into Justin Campbell a little more, Baseball America has him ranked as their #43 draft prospect. He’s a 6’7” RHP. For those interested in the draft I highly recommend a Baseball America subscription (they have a monthly option). Below are some of their notes on Campbell: Justin Campbell Oklahoma State RHP HT: 6-7 | Wt: 221 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Astros '19 (18) Age At Draft: 21.4 Campbell has hit and pitched for Oklahoma State in his first two seasons with the program, primarily serving as a designated hitter when he’s not pitching. He’s a career .313/.422/.448 hitter who’s shown solid strike zone discipline, but Campbell’s upside is likely higher on the mound. He pitched to a 2.57 ERA last spring over 13 starts and 84 innings, with a three-pitch mix that included a fastball that sat around 90 mph and two standout secondaries in a curveball and changeup. Campbell is listed at 6-foot-7, 221 pounds and could take off with increased velocity during his draft year.

    Thank goodness nobody reached for Corbin Burnes in 2016 before the Brewers took him in the 4th round (111 overall). It is always possible the Brewers could go after an under slot deal early in order to spread their pool savings toward some later picks.

    Just to put the oddness of the Brewers current 40-man roster situation in context... 24 MLB teams currently have full 40-man rosters 5 MLB teams have just one opening on their 40-man rosters (39 players total) The Brewers have 37 players on their 40-man roster (it'll be at 38 when McCutchen returns)
  25. Eye Black
    Brewers officially shed an additional 40-man roster spot...
