yeah its actually remarkable what this team has been able to sustain without a good number of their best players. In the past, a single one of them would be enough to tank the team. If they can hold serve with these guys, they could be sitting pretty in a couple months.

any updates on Pena yet?

probably not the best time for snap judgment on a team when 3 of the top 5 OPS guys from last year's team are injured and you've just faced both Cy Young winners back to back

shhh. im trying to get to my first T-Rats game of the season next week

gotta be thinking Lara for Perkins at this point

That seems to be the entire staff this year if you think about it. Just makes me wonder if the Brewers are adjusting their approach to the season to preserver the arms more. Remember they dont look at pitch count but rather the number of high intensity pitches

yeah that popped out at me as i was reading through it. try an inflation number of 5+% and curious to see those results instead. though historically, 2% is fair. Also, the win-win of this for both sides is that it motivates the Brewers to bring up sooner rather than later. He could lose a year waiting around otherwise. i think they are looking at serious inflation plus getting him up sooner

kind of surprised not to see Fischer at this point. Seems like a number of guys have fallen in the rankings.

yeah i had to chuckle at one commenter posting during the last game how bad this offense is right now with the injuries. i get they could be betteer, but having the most runs in baseball right now hardly qualifies as "awful"

yeah seems the talent barely stops in Appleton, but nice for us to get to see some young stars for a change

I think its more about the increasing trust Mark has in Arnold and maybe the staff has in their own evals. You just dont make a move that sets the market like this as a small market team without his approval. Who knows on Turang. Maybe they were weighing an early offer but chose prudence until he was priced out of the market. Could have been a few guys who they hesitated on blew up and now they trust their evals a lot more than waiting for them to justify it. They've been slow to go all in on anyone under Arnold, and its prevented any kind of big hit to the org that would set the franchise back years.

Lockridge, the punisher. Wonder if there's ever been a single AB where the batter took out the pitcher, catcher and ump

I can recommend in appleton. Wellspring at the Cross

how does it work in terms of years of player control when you sign someone that young?
