    No more options on Bauers. That's why I wasn't a fan of the move in the first place. However, I concede he probably gets too much hate on here. He looks like a competent at-bat and good glove at first. If he's not playing that often, he's a rosterable big leaguer, and like someone else mentioned, you want Black playing every day.

    Gosh do I love Cooper Pratt's swing. He really looks like the complete package, and a future big leaguer.

    I also think that sending Ashby to Arizona could help. Take a little performance-pressure off, and really get him honing his mechanics.

    Those were some fun boxscores to read today. Great to have Brown, Wilken, and Clarke back. The awesome pitching performances were so fun. Are there guys in Nashville that the Brewers don't feel like they can release for depth-reasons? I ask this because like the rest of you, some of these guys are looking at promotions. Maybe there's just an organizational log jam making promotions hard.

    Was there any update on the severity of Wiemer's injury? I can't find anything.
  6. Playing Catch
    Great stuff. I'm not sure that there's a ton of organizational strategy, beyond that of trying to stay out of 3 ball counts, preferring to earn weak contact instead. I would assume, as you mention in the article, it is mostly coincidental to the skillsets of their available pitchers.

    14-14. Because it's baseball.

    Here's to the optimists! Cheers!

    1- I think Peralta drilled Siri on the upper thigh on purpose. 2- I think it's ridiculous to toss him for that, w/o warnings/bad blood. 3- I suspect Siri has a reputation, or this whole thing comes from 5-year old minors stuff. Peralta has a choirboy image, Siri seems like he's channeling his inner Jose Canseco. I suspect there's a number of players that hate Siri (not that that excuses violence). 4- Uribe was verbally defending his team, telling Siri what he thinks, Siri verbally defends, the young Uribe loses it. 5- It's early. Peralta has plenty of innings to pitch this season. Uribe could probably use a break. 6- Brewers HAVE to get some breaks tomorrow. Guccioni (sp?) and co., need to mend some fences.

    So say tonight, Frelick has already pinch-hit for Ortiz against a tough righty, and represents the winning run on 2nd base, with Wiemer scheduled to bat with 2 outs... Will it be Dunn, Bauers or Tyler Black pinch hitting for Wiemer?
  11. Playing Catch
    Dang. Turang the only lefty 😉
  12. Playing Catch
    I also can't wait to find out how tall he is.
  13. Playing Catch
    I wonder where he'll bat in the lineup? I could see him hitting in literally any spot.
  14. Playing Catch
    Not to derail the thread, but Bauers has also enjoyed the best spot in the lineup, in front of Hoskins with RBI opportunities. The Brewers have basically given Bauers a month-long posh role on the club to see if he can capture some of his prospect magic, and he hasn't done it.
  15. Playing Catch
    Maybe they'll put him in LF?
  16. Playing Catch
    Based on the eye-test, I'm surprised Bauers has been as poor as he's been. I just think they have to release him. Of course, they can send down Miller or Dunn, too, but I feel like they are just delaying the inevitable. I'm very worried about Black being really really poor in the field, though.

    This is the first and only forum I've ever participated in, and it is because it is typically civil, readable, fun, and filled with some really good posters. I think the disagreements tend to maintain civility and respect, rather than what can be found on other forums. I believe this is in part due to the efforts the founders put into enforcing their rules, such as no cussing/flaming/etc. While I understand some posters think that loosening up some of those rules could create a little more color and flair, I think that in the long run, allowing such things would end up keeping a lot of good people away.

    Someone in the game-thread surmised that he wears the mitt for diving back to first, which makes sense to me. Doesn't change the fact that he's been deliberately interfering with DPs for a long time.

    Brewers have started 17-10 against one of the better schedules to date in MLB. I thought that I've matured past the frustration of being the Rodney Dangerfield of baseball, but how is it this fanbase can't jump on board this bandwagon? Almost every thread here at Brewerfanatic is filled with nothing but doubt and consternation. Again, they've got a .630 winning percentage. And many of us, including myself, were predicting a losing record in April! And that was BEFORE the injuries. Maybe we need to recognize that this organization belongs in the conversation for best-run franchises in baseball.
  20. Playing Catch
    He's one of the more dangerous 9-hole hitters in MLB. Power and speed. Let the kid breathe. He's one good game (AB?) away from finding all the confidence he needs to blossom.
  21. Playing Catch
    I respectfully disagree. When you have a protective mitt on, and have Aaron Judge's hand-eye coordination, I'd be surprised if he couldn't block 50% of Wily Adam's throws from 10 feet away.
  22. Playing Catch
    Ask yourself this... If 6'7" Yankee Baseball Superstar, Aaron Judge, slides feet-first every time (which he probably should, outside of game-winning plays at the plate), why does he need a sliding mitt at all? I guess because it's perfectly legal for someone to block throws with their hands. The Crew should have ALL of their players sport mitts on BOTH hands in DP situations.
  23. Playing Catch
    Do we have a current scouting report on Shook? Does he have big league pitches? Is he a candidate to get some IPs for the big club?
  24. Playing Catch
    I really like Miley. I feel sad that his career is in jeopardy and that he has to go through the rehab involved with TJ. I was also really hoping he could throw some innings with the Brewers this season. I like guys that are forced to adjust their career arc by learning how to pitch in new ways. While this is obviously an unfortunate development for the team, its certainly less impactful than say, the Braves losing Strider, so I don't expect they throw in the towel. They may need to bolster with a trade, but I also feel good about their ability to get creative about getting outs.

    There can't be enough Turang threads for me. "Vote Turang for All-Star Game!", "Turang for Gold Glove!" "Turang for Silver Slugger!" "Turang for President!" Anytime we get to celebrate this guy, I'm all aboard.
