It’s only 5 games but the early returns for Chourio are pretty crazy. 10 hits including 3 HR
-
I say put him in for 2 and if the brewers start the game with another 9 spot, you move to quintana or someone else. One can hope :) But seriously, its a solid strategy. They want to give Ashby the work regardless, so he gets to face the heart of the order at a critical juncture. Having some mystery around the actual starting pitcher perhaps forces Cubs to play the lineup card straight. Gives the Brewers options in case of crooked numbers in either direction, but also kinds of goes for the jugular in Game 2.

i have also seen a much less aggressive approach at CF since his return and figured that was an intentional staff decision. We already saw and heard Frelick was changing his approach after coming back in order to protect his health for the playoff run. So i figured they told Chourio the same.

ahh the virtue of obsessing over anything and everything that can divide us in hopes of some moral high ground
-
Not understanding Perkins here with Contreras and Hoskins and Monte on the bench and RISP
-
any chance they offload Yeli's contract? He's a solid member of the roster but the largest chunk of salary for a player who doesnt have a position. He becomes somewhat redundant and blocking other talented upcoming players going forward. That would give the team flexibility to lower payroll and allow them to capitalize on other opportunities they find to "go big", especially anything in-season.

34 over .500, has to be one of their best marks ever
-
nice 1-2-3 for Yoho. maybe he will give us some needed depth
-
pitch 100 at 100 mph
-
Head to head with Skenes and Kershaw and the allstar controversy in the first month-plus during the heat of the playoff battle. He didnt need the lead to dominate.

I think in a season where mgmt seemed to make all the right moves, their kid gloves approach to the starters has taken a toll on the bullpen which is why we find ourselves "unlucky" with bullpen injuries right now. As for Miz being soft and needing to pitch with a lead, im not buying it. This kid was put in many high pressure situations and handled it well. The staff tried to find ways to cut innings to prep him for postseason so the IL stint was convenient. When he came back, he hasnt found his dominance but also didnt pitch long enough to find his groove. I would attribute much of today to not just the lead, but rather, to the time he was given to find his groove. Expecting to see more of this going forward and the Brewers lengthening his starts again in prep for postseason play.

I was at the prior game he pitched vs Quad Cities and granted im not as tuned like you guys, but I was underwhelmed by his stuff. 20 years old. Fastball sat around 85-87 on the stadium gun most of the time i checked (3rd through 5th innings). The opponents were squaring up everything and making HARD contact but mostly foul. Yeah he got 6 Ks in less than 5 innings but that was a head scratcher to me.
-
i cant see Collins as a backup after the season he's had, nor penciling in Mitchell as CF. Probably should flip one if you can add younger prospects.
-
whats the most over .500 the brewers have ever been?
-
+163 run differential and maybe a 7.5 game lead on the rest of MLB since the opening series
-
its more than a rest at this point. seigler has had some productive plays at third, but he seems to make every play an adventure somehow
-
Been thinking the same. I can't believe how bad our opponents defenses have looked this year. Seems like high school at times
-
Nobody is going to hand Williams a high leverage role this next year. Williams best bet is to find a staff that will help him rediscover his skills. And right now, there might not be a better place for that to happen than Milwaukee.

Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
cragi replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I wonder when the last time a player had that dramatic of a shift, going from literally, the dead last worst hitter in baseball to one of the very best in the same season -
Demanding more value from the vaugn trade apparently
-
Brewers braintrust figuring out how to get 1.000 OPS out of Lockridge and Jansen
-
salary dump to make room for waiver wire
-
i didnt think it was possible but the FO managed to find someone with a much lower OPS than Ortiz
-
well its clear that management is playing the long game today. Seemed a good year to cash in some chips but they have proven shrewd, so i trust them. Time will tell if losing a player like Suarez should have put us over the top. Now onto waivers. Brewers dont have to sacrifice prospects but MA will have to open up his wallet and i expect he will do so, if someone becomes available. Meanwhile, Ortiz gets a little more rope to prove himself and Durbin to solidify his role. Who are some candidates to become available for a salary dump?

The Return Timeline For Rhys Hoskins Has Been Pushed Back
cragi replied to Jason Wang's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
yeah ive also been thinking Rhys will add quite a bit to the lineup if he returns healthy. At minimum, we should have a better DH platoon situation with Yelich and Rhys or Vaughn
