Very small sample size warning Lara .412/.444/.647 This kid could end up in Helena this year if he keeps this up

Well right now we are 11th in baseball in attendance with a little over 1.1 mil in only 35 home games. If attendance says the same they would draw 2.5 mil. We have no idea how much they are going to lose if they just keep everyone. My uneducated guess would be not that much and I'm not that worried about payroll/attendance. We should be able to trade Krod and knock another 5 mil off next season if we are tight.

We'll we've only got 70 mil in contracts for next year. And they can replace all of our FA with min or near min deals so I'm not that worried about salaries

I was really disappointed in the attendance, looked like only a couple of thousand. Kodi looked really great, that slider is nasty.

Ban them from the post season

I wonder who else they have hacked. You know it's not just one team.

That's a shame , I was hoping to see both of them next Friday at Miller park

Not very well though

Lara is all of 17 and has yet to play any baseball in our system. I think your putting the cart before the horse there.

Iskenderian, George Miami (FL) 3B R/R JR -- 6'1" 190lbs DOB: 02/28/94 Selected by the Cardinals in the 34th round of last year's Draft, Iskenderian returned to the University of Miami and hit .379 with a .471 on-base percentage for the Hurricanes this season. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound shortstop compiled 11 doubles, two triples, 50 RBIs, 63 runs and 23 steals in 58 games. Iskenderian was drafted by St. Louis coming off a sophomore campaign in which he hit .373 with a home run and 23 RBIs in 40 games. The native of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., hit .250 with six runs scored in 16 games as a freshman in 2013.

The University of Florida product was 1-0 with a 4.26 ERA, 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 25 1/3 innings over 14 appearances, including four starts, this season. A 6-foot-5, 205-pound righty, Hanhold played for the Orleans Firebirds in the Cape Cod League last summer, going 1-2 with a 3.42 ERA in six games (four starts). Hanhold was picked by the Phillies in the 40th round of the 2012 Draft, but he chose to play for the Gators instead. He went winless with a 5.88 ERA as a freshman, then finished 4-3 with three saves and a 4.20 ERA in 25 appearances as a sophomore, striking out 36 and walking 18 in 49 1/3 innings

Hanhold, Eric Florida (FL) RHP R/R JR -- 6'5" 205lbs DOB: 11/01/93

Just saw that Lucroy's brother is in the draft

Sounds like the plan is to send him to rookie ball once they start in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping the Brewers wait till the last minute to make that decision. After starting out very slow he seems to be coming around at the plate. April .179/.233/.286 May .204/.264/.265 June .313/.353/.375 Yes it's a small sample size but it would be really cool if he could finish the season in low A and next year probably start in low A and finish in high A. It's really too bad Monte looks totally lost at the plate

Nix gone too

Lonnie Chisenhall got optioned by the Indians. While this year he hasn't been good, he's had a couple of good seasons. He's about avg defensively and could be a decent stop gap till we get one from the draft. Maybe we could flip a reliever(krod or Broxton or cotts) to them for him?

Wonder why Matusz lost his and is serving 8 games and Will's got reduced to 6?

St. Louis – Milwaukee Brewers rightfielder Ryan Braun will miss Wednesday's game with the St. Louis Cardinals after traveling to Los Angeles to have a cryotherapy procedure performed on his right thumb. It will be second time Braun has undergone the treatment, which introduces subzero temperatures into a damaged nerve at the base of the thumb with a needle, and is again being performed by Dr. Vernon B. Willians. It was first performed last Oct. 2 after other treatments had failed over the previous two seasons. Manager Craig Counsell said the decision to send Braun out for another treatment was pre-planned, which would help explain the team's moves earlier in the day to option starting pitcher Tyler Cravy to Class AAA Colorado Springs and recall outfielder Shane Peterson. Peterson is in the lineup today in left field and Gerardo Parra will play right. "He feels like this therapy that he gets, it significantly helps and gets him back to 100 percent," Counsell said. "And if we can keep him at close to 100 percent then we get the great Ryan Braun for 150 games. It apparently has a shelf life, I guess you could say, and we're kind of getting up on that shelf life. "So we thought now was a good time – with the off day and the DH series (in Minnesota) – to do it." Braun is hitting .258 with 12 home runs and 38 runs batted in this season, and had been named the National League's player of the month for May. He went 1 for 8 in the Brewers' first two games against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. As recently as a month ago, Braun had said emphatically that the thumb had not been bothering him. But Counsell said there had been signs recently that the benefit of the intial cryotherapy procedure had been wearing off. "It's not a situation where he can't play. We've obviously seen that," he said. "But I think he just felt a little deterioration in it and the effectiveness of the therapy had kind of expired. So it's more, get him at 100 percent and not just get through it for the rest of the season-type thing." With a five-year, $105 million contract extension due to kick in beginning next season, Braun's health is of the utmost importance to the Brewers moving forward. But Counsell said he's unsure if Braun will need to continually have the procedure done over that span in order to remain pain-free. "I don't know the answer to that," Counsell said. "I think the chances are that he's going to have to deal with it. But that doesn't mean it's going to affect him, really. The point of this is that he thinks he can really manage it well, and that's what we're trying to do. "We're trying to get him at his best for the next 100 games rather than get him at a percentage of himself than just a grind-through-it type of thing." It's Counsell's understanding that the latest procedure would be enough to at least get him through the remainder of the season. "Ryan feels really good and really confident about it," he said. "It's not something that's got him down or anything. He's really felt like it's really responded to it and he can get back to (normal) when it feels good." Counsell is hopeful he'll have Braun for at least part of the Brewers' upcoming weekend interleague series with the Twins at Target Field. "This is a minor thing, to me," he said. "It's just difficult with the roster, a little bit. It's a small day-to-day thing, and we know when he'll be back. To me it's Saturday or Sunday for sure. He's not even ruling out Friday, quite honestly, the way he's talking."

Victor Roache is having a very nice season. Looks like the wrist is finally 100% healed.

Newcastle is such a crap club. Their owner is the biggest dbag ever

I doubt schafer see the brewers again. Parra can play center. Maybe Jason Rodgers gets to play LF most days until Davis gets back

The Brewers purchased the contract of right-hander Tyler Cravy from Triple-A, the team announced. Cravy, a 17th-round pick in 2009, has a 3.71 ERA, 2.97 K/BB rate and 8.7 K/9 over 460 2/3 career minor league innings. per mlbtraderumers.com

So would he be pitching Monday against the cards?

No way Ronald Koeman is the only logical choice. His whole team was gutted in the summer and he'll finish top 7

Seattle sure could use him.
