    Watched the Cardinals-Mets game on Sunday and both Ozuna and Cespedes were wearing the neon sleeves. Agree that it looks odd, would think they would require a neutral color or a team color.

    Mystery Triple-A 3B acquisition solved... MLB Trade Rumors Link

    I've heard his defense has looked good since instructs. I'm not going to buy that his glove is holding him up if the current three options continue to be horrible. If he is hitting lights out, he'll be up. A lot like 3and2, I’ve been one of Hiura’s biggest fans including fawning for him to be the Brewers selection in the months leading up to the draft. That being said, the defensive development is a legitimate need. He had a below average throwing arm before he suffered the elbow injury. I have no doubt his bat is going to be special, but I think the Brewers are going to take their time making sure he is ready defensively. That includes not only fielding, but developing his footwork and arm strength to the point where they are confident he will be able to make all of the necessary throws for a major league second baseman. I would guess no matter how much he rakes, the earliest we will see him in the full-time 2B gig is sometime in 2019.

    Well would you look it that, it actually DID stem from an April Fools joke gone awry... and on March 31st.

    One reason for optimism is that it seems this team is going to put the ball in play a fair amount more than last year. In 2017 the team strikeout rate was 25.6%. That was the worst in Major League Baseball. While 2018 is obviously a very small sample size, in 130 plate appearances so far this season the Brewers have struck out just 22 times (16.9%). I realize better pitching lies ahead, but I think this team can reduce their strike out rate into the low-20% range this season which will be a marked improvement.

    I had forgotten how well Bubba Derby pitched in Colorado Springs after his promotion last year. Looks like he is back and ready to go per this Tweet with a fun graphic.

    Got it, I see that now via Derrick Goold. Apparently Ozuna has a shoulder injury. Should be interesting to see how that plays out during the two upcoming Brewers-Cardinals series.
  9. Eye Black
    So unless Marcell Ozuna has some sort of arm injury this seems like an inexplicable move by Tommy Pham... Video Link

    Next 10 games against the Cardinals and Cubs will be a challenge, but for now I am going to enjoy looking at this...

    I know this isn’t necessarily the regular bottom of the order, but it isn’t a great sign that while the top of the order looks like they are playing slowpitch softball the bottom of the hitting lineup is 0-for-11.

    Yu Darvish with a rough first outing for the Cubs. Gave up 5 earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched. Short start after the team had a 17 inning game last night.

    I've never known anyone to play an April Fools joke on 3/31. Well apparently Stearns thought it was an early April Fools joke also. For the record I was joking about the “April Fools joke” thing. There was a reference in the mystery 3B thread about that being an April Fools joke and I was pointing out this seemed even less believable. I’ll break out the [sarcasm]blue font[/sarcasm] next time.
  14. Eye Black
    Now THIS seems like an April fools joke, but I guess we shall see.

    Sounds like Wil Myers is likely unavailable tonight with back stiffness. In other injury news Anthony Swarzak suffered an injury today (Link).

    I was going to pile on to these former Brewers third baseman jokes, and then I realized Casey McGehee is actually a legitimately decent guess at just 35 years old and coming off a successful season in Japan. He is still listed on the team roster for the Yomiuri Giants, but doesn’t appear to have played in games this season according to their team stats.

    The Reds scoreboard this year includes WAR, OPS+, BABIP, and ISO.

    My guess is that Braun’s reaction of immediately turning his head and shoulders back towards the plate may have thrown him off, but still not a great sign.
  19. Eye Black
    Braun’s home run, nice launch angle on a 92 mph pitch high above the zone...
  20. Eye Black
    Great question, I was wondering the same.

    How can posters report posts/posters? Sounds like a much more constructive response than the airing of grievances in the threads. Thanks mods Every post has an exclamation mark “!” icon on the right side of the post. Click that and note why you are reporting the post and the mods will review the post.

    Brauny!!!!!!!!

    Hand pitching two high stress innings yesterday and now an extended inning here is a good equation for the Brewers.
  25. Eye Black
    If the Brewers hit a Grand Slam I am pretty sure I am going be waking up my entire household.
