  1. Murphy and Payamps blowing this really sucks for the rest of the team who put them into very good position with high probability of a win. 8 shutout innings. Some timely hits on offense. Blown.
  2. Putting Payamps in to start the ninth was reckless with the way he’s been pitching this season. They know how his pitches have been profiling. Heat of the moment, horrible decision and surely Murphy (who I really like) would admit it. Not worried about Megill. They tried to get him work last night and so he was on a back to back plus he didn’t start the inning. Double whammy. When he threw the 5 straight balls, it was apparent he didn’t have it. With Yoho they are apparently trying to save a year of service time. I think he could pitch in leverage situations right now. Payamps. They have a couple of years of trust there. But he should be in when we are behind or in a blowout to get on track. Then DFA if he’s showing he’s not a major leaguer anymore (a distinct possibility).
  3. He was very well regarded when he came up. Papi is a guy who floundered and then all of a sudden turned into a rocket ship.
  4. Sometimes fans have enough insight to make the right call and the organization makes a mistake. It’s not a proper assumption to assume a front office executive is automatically going to make the right call over a studious fan. It happens all the time where the fan has the right ideas. Front office executives make mistakes all the time where fans would have been right. Like all the time.
  5. I keep up with minor league box scores and write ups as well as social media. But I’m not watching the games so I’m more of an aggregator as opposed to offering my own analysis. But I can fairly say that there were fans talking up Shane Smith last year and kudos to them and for calling out the mistake as it happened.
  6. I didn’t get the Pujols reference. Did you mean Big Papi?
  7. There were some knowledgeable posters (not me) who in real time were livid about us leaving Smith protected. It’s not like this was hindsight. The fact that the White Sox ran the card up like Flash Gordon in the Rule 5 draft reinforces the point. Self-scouting your own personnel is as important as anything in your organization. It sure looks like this was botched and it’s exacerbated by how badly we could have used him right now and in the future considering our shortage of controllable years in starting pitching.
  8. You’re right. I’m still getting used to the reversal of the affiliates between low A and high A. It’s a mental block even though it’s been a year!
  9. Wisconsin is easily the most fun team to follow this year. Ridiculous upside with several of our favorite players. It’s crazy early so I’m hesitant to make proclamations but it’s hard not to be exuberant. Do we know what the situation is with Made? Great to see Durbin working at third. I’m skeptical about his projection at third just based on his profile but maybe he can be adequate. He’s been rock solid at the plate. Good to have that in-house with shaky coverage in Milwaukee. Some solid starts up and down as guys are getting stretched out. I am frankly not familiar with some of the starters but nice to see them put up zero earned runs. Great to see Martinez and Pratt pop too. Wilken and Brown, Jr. Not sure what to say but we can only hope it’s early.
  10. Based on how much they spent on him, you’d think they targeted him with a particular plan in place. I doubt this was just a grab of whatever guy was available. I’m sure they saw something in particular they like and feel good they can develop. This is not an organization in the habit of just giving up high draft picks. They know the value of that money slot after they manipulated the money from the Pratt draft.
  11. At least we are getting it to Megill in the ninth.
  12. Yoho is a guy that should be here right now.
  13. Boeve should be ready to join the minors in mid May. Hopefully he can rake and get up here by mid-season. Maybe Durbin can be a factor. I am skeptical on both defensively at third but at least Boeve can flat out hit.
  14. Has anyone heard when Boeve is expected to return? I’d love to see him have enough time to progress to the point he could help the big club late in the year.
  15. @Joseph Zarr what do you think about playing Black every day in left field at Nashville? I’m stubborn about trying to find this guy a role.
  16. Building him cautiously is the smart way to go. One of my all time favorite Brewers and I go back 50 years.
  17. Last I heard, Davy is still in the navy, and probably will be for life.
  18. I buried the lede but really like the Quintana signing. I suppose I am overcompensating for how good he looks against us but this is a guy who has been reliable and knows how to pitch. There’s been a sense that we needed more innings absorbed and JQ gives us a solid answer. He can keep us in games and get us to the pen.
  19. It’s a big year on the development side to see if we can start getting some young arms ready for ‘26 and beyond. Gasser - will he recover from injury and adjust to a full time starting role Hall - can he take a step forward with consistency and reliability Ashby - has been better in relief so can improve in a starting role Mis - command Henderson - not electric but knows how to pitch KC Hunt - can he continue his ascent Wichrowski - great arm but how long will his development take So out of those seven guys, it’s a huge year to show the development needed to have at least a couple jump up and enter the rotation in ‘26. When Burnes, Woody, and Freddy came up, they all had ups and downs for awhile and they were all high upside guys. They took their lumps. It’s natural to expect our young pitchers to need MLB adjustment similarly.
  20. Raynel Delgado was a minor league signing that was easy to miss. He will probably be a depth guy in the organization at AAA but you never know with a guy like him. He’s an advanced minor leaguer and his stats might show something to build off of.
  21. Hard to believe that Vuk and Caldwell were never all stars.
  22. Kid has great moxie. He’s the type of guy you like to have. Let’s hope he takes a big step with considerably more XBH this year.
