Seems time to return him and remove Singleton.

He just had a 4-6 HR 2 doubles 4RBI night. Chourio should not spend the entire season at AA. I'd give him another 20-30games there and promote him to AAA. Comes with him continuing to show small improvements at AA level. If only the team had Frelick to replace Mitchell. The largest batting issue is who we're using at DH. Yelich there with the core of Rookie OFs would solve a lot of the batting problems.

2Gs 10 for 65 vs the worst team in baseball. 20ks. There's no hope for this team. Just need a firesale and trade all our no value players who are being paid to provide value.

Yelich missed one too but Contreras finally connected on one.

I know how bunting is frowned upon. But Anderson on 2nd, Toro on 1st, Turang a LHb with speed, 0 outs... That's the situation right there to call one isn't it? Caratini/Wiemer due up. Of course Caratini flies out. Lh Caratini at the plate probability to roll a dp grounder has to be higher than when on RH side no? Should have moved the runners with Turang imo manufactured a bottom of the order run.

I dunno where to put this note thought here at least worked. Quero cracked the top 100 on MLB rankings the other day. Now at 99 with another prospect graduating. Up to 9HRs in under half the PAs it took him to hit 10HRs for his entire age 19 season. If he were a Dodger like Diego Cartaya he'd be top 15 prospect at mid-season rankings. Cartaya off to an ugly AA beginnings at age 21.....

The counter I'd have on the RBs to shorten the field, is Rodgers had the green light to run, pass option change Lafluer's(whoever) called play at his discretion. He'd pass out wide to a WR when the O-line/RBs were in motion for the play to be a run. If the WR didn't catch the ball or break that first tackle, very little yards gained/none/lost yardarge. Had the running play happened, well Jones has a 5yards per carry avg. Dillon below 4 I believe. Expect it'll be different this season as Love won't be reading defenses anywhere as well Rodgers did to change the play without anyone knowing but him and the WR. Rbs will get the ball fed to them running more clock and more consistent pulling 4yards or more to shorten the field, even gaining 1st downs. Expect this to lead to a bunch of play action utilizing the 2 TEs or over the top deep balls to Watson. He really does have the full array of weapons that Rodgers never had. 2 receiving TEs vs Kuhn plus Finley.

Nice to see 2nd HR had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2outs. Excited for this guy. He has to be headed to AAA before too long. How the team works him in to the Milwaukee lineup next season with Contreras really leaves me wondering. Which of the 2 puts on a 1b glove and plays there? How much DH time could there be when Yelich you would assume slides there next season.

Well for being 2 years younger and obviously not to the 119games Walker played for his entire age 20 season in 2022, Chourio has some games to build up to the similar stats besides hrs/rbi. Looks like we're at 38games thus far. You'd imagine the callup would happen in late June early July to AAA when a healthy Frelick/Wiemer would have joined the team. Injuries moved Wiemer right away and unfortunately took Frelick less than 3 weeks later. 6-8weeks is what was said Frelick would be down. What are we 3weeks in? Expect a callup around 65-70AA games to AAA. He can add 60+games at AAA to determine a Sept callup. August 1st if the crew trade say Wiemer or Frelick around deadline.

No it's the expectation because he has 2 veteran RBs to shorten down and distance to go. It's the expectation because Gutekunst used 2 draft picks in 2020 to select Love over helping the current team. He's special, that's what that move suggested. Love has had 3 years to prepare for this role. Burrows, Herbert, Tua, and Jalen Hurts had none. Hurts drafted after Love already established top tier QB besides Burrows and Herbert. I expect better from Love than rookie level record. Year 2&3 from the 4-Herbert 9&10 wins. Hurts 8&14 wins. Tua 7&8 wins. Burrows isn't fair to comp considering his sure fire generational QB taken 1-1, but 10&12. Average year 2- 8.5 wins. Year 3- 11 wins. I don't get why it should be comparable to Rodgers' 6wins just because 7 games lost were by 7 pts or less, with 5 being 3pts or less. Expected w/l was 8.9. 8.9wins in a 16game season is where the comp should be. Not the actual w/l. So again 9 at 16games and 10 if 17games. 2007 they faced a schedule for a 1st place 13win team. This season is following a 3rd place 8 win team. Easier schedule. Jennings was Rodgers #1 WR a 3rd year 52nd pick in 2nd rd. And Driver. Nelson and Finley were rookies that season. Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson RBs with Kuhn FB. Compare Watson-Jennings Doubs-Driver Musgrave/Reed-Nelson Kraft-Finley Jones/Dillon-Grant Jackson. Seems to me Love has more weapons to play with better RBs again. He just doesn't have the veteran Driver but a higher drafted similar size Doubs. I think Gutekunst should be removed from GM if the team doesn't win 7 or more games. With only Love suffering a 10game or more injury saving him from that expectation. He built this roster for Love's emergence, not at all to surround Rodgers the last 3 seasons.

I wondered that too but you're talking these guys would have pitched in far more save opportunities than blowing 3 of 3 chances. 16 total chances aside from closing out the game for the likes of Broxton, Smith, Duke, Kintzler, and Jeffress? Yeah they probably blew save opportunities. Rodriquez averaged 1.8days between games pitched. He's not a robot and couldn't save all the games opportunities.

Pretty sure the Wang experiment was an effort to add some kind of pitching prospect the organization fully lacked. The 2014 team I remember for blown saves. Looked at BRef. Rodriquez blew 5 in 49 chances. Meanwhile 5 other RPs blew 15games in 16 chances. 1 for 16!

Wave the white flag and trade who's still playing that helps another team for a value prospect

I agree the defense should put more pressure on QBs. More pressure means more QBs making quick and at times poor decisions throwing the ball or bad throws on the run. The secondary will have more opportunities to make interceptions if they can catch the damn ball. That is giving the offense better field position and more chances to have a scoring outcome(if these aren't pick 6s 😁) The worry is how does Love react to pressure himself. Has he learned in 3 years to get rid of the ball and avoid taking hits? Will he run with the ball and slide or take hits? How well does his body respond to the hits, or is he soft and by week 5 his season is over? Can the O-line keep him upright consistently? I'm expecting to see a lot of screens out in the flats to WRs or TEs lined up 3 to a side this season. You've got guys with probably enough wiggle to make the 1st guy miss, and if the blocking is sustained they'll take 6-9yd chunks, where you hope Jones/Dillon turn in to 1st downs if the play didn't get them a 1st to begin with. If Love starts 16 games or all 17 games, I think it's a failure if they don't win 9games this season. 10 of he starts all 17. Obviously that can be adjusted if the defense suffers multiple injuries to key guys like Gary's impact did. And no team plays a full season without losing at least 1 top 8 player on it for numerous games. Think GB's history is filled with these losses before week 4.

Team can't recover when guys go on the IL and the depth in minors, also happen to go on IL down there. Uribe, Frelick, and Hiura. Who else? Winker is this year's acquisition you believed would help turn some of the offense around including himself from last season, but tanks further. He has 4XBH this season and 0HRs. He's nearly below his career average in slugging pct- .269-.274. He's the DH like McCutchen was 82games last season and both batting/ed worse than .660 OPS being such. The move to make? Preparing to trade Adames, Burnes, Tellez, Anderson, Taylor, DFA Brosseau and Taylor. Pray they make it to that time healthy. There's no bandaid out there to fix this roster. Just waiting for the IL guys to return. Waiting for your top prospects to mature in to the Major League team. Waiting for Turang/Wiemer to progress to better than average hitters which likely is next season. Mitchell's season ending loss dropped the team from contender to pretender. Offense has not been good after he went down. Team needs to acquire 1 or 2 SPs from the future trades who are at least #3s with TOR upside.

Miller has 3 more 2bs and 5 hits less overall than Adames. It's time to move attention from Yelich batting woes, to Adames. He has 100 PA more than Miller. 185PAs 5 2bs on the season. How do you play every game this season and average below 1 double a week while being in the 3 spot the majority of time.

To be fair, Varland left with the bases loaded 2 outs and Counsell gave the ball to a position player who promptly gave up a Grand Slam allowing all 3 of Varlands runners to score. Wonder if CC actually used a real pitcher how many of Varland bases loaded runners score. It will take 26.1IP of 0 runs allowed just to take his ERA from his final line to 3 ERA. Somebody needs to make sure he's alright and check in on him daily.

I think the tweek that needs to be made is due off a players age. Don't think it's fair for the 16-18yr old signed/drafted to be eligible for Rule 5. They should add a year before eligible. Teams/players should also have like a red shirt year where they can be protected and not be put on the 40 man. The requirements would need the player to have been injured for any total longer than 5months of potential games played. Basically losing a minor league year in development. Saving some 40man spots would allow more room for Rule 5 selections vs protecting. Older FAs at the ML level to be signed that are AAAA types to be on a 40man vs a AAA minor league contract that requires a team to jettison someone off the 40man to add to the ML team. Maybe create a twice a year Rule 5 draft 6months apart. Where the player has to be playing through 1 half the season or the other half depending which draft they were selected. Doing so they can be kept then.

Great bullpen game! Think CC used Williams for the 5out save there with how awful tomorrow's pitching/bullpen outlook must be. Barring an explosion offensive game, prepared for another blowout. Nice to see Brian Anderson hit a HR. Feels like it's been a long while. Wiemer and another HR. Just a very positive sign for his future.

Wiemer has had 2 Ks looking these last 2 games that were ball 4s. While certainly both were close he was on wrong side of bad umps.

I honestly wonder on the price to WAR value. Does it really begin from 0WAR? Or 1WAR and up? BRef lists 0-2WAR value as Sub. And 2+ as Starter. So wouldn't it make sense to tie the value per WAR starting higher than 0? Trout was putting up 8+WAR seasons yet his max in a year is below 38M. How's the work for him? They paid him to be 4.5WAR? Or 6.5WAR? As a starter+ beginning at 2WAR? Maybe that's why some contracts come out and we're like we should have done that for that price vs production?

So I take it Adames was thrown out at 2b after rounding it too far? Kinda nuts to go bases loaded no outs hit 2 consecutive singles before a gidp and only score 2 runs.

2-10 runners in scoring position and the 1st was an infield hit by Yelich. The woes continue. At least they are getting some walks in.

Agreed The stuff of nightmares. You want 162 games of post game interviews having to stare at Molina's face?
