    My gut tells me neither Peralta nor Woodruff will be dealt at the deadline so “not trading Peralta” will be the next big source of consternation. If Peralta is dealt & the return is anything less than a Consensus Top Ten Big Name kind of prospect (even though Freddy’s “never been an Ace”) then it’ll be “selling low on Peralta” instead.

    The other Jesus (Flores) walks the tight rope to secure the 4-3 Mudcats win. After Bitonti, Di Turi, and Nadal singles plated two in the top half of the eleventh, Jesus went single, line out, walk, wild pitch, intentional walk before striking out the last two with the bases juiced.

    Last year the Brewers played their 54th game on May 28th. On that date DET (26-27), HOU (24-31), NYM (22-32), and ARI (25-29) were all under .500. Three of those teams went on to make the playoffs and Arizona lost the tiebreaker with 89 wins. In 2023 the Brewers played their 54th game on May 30th. On that date PHI (25-29) was under .500 and made the playoffs. The Yankees were 34-23 and went on to miss the playoffs that year. In 2022 the Brewers played their 54th game on June 3rd. On that date CLE (23-24), SEA (23-29), ATL (26-27), and PHI (23-29) were all under .500 and made the playoffs. Most of the teams that are in the playoffs or close to it at this point are going to get most of the spots at the end of year too, but if recent history is any guide (I'm sure there's plenty more examples farther back too) they won't get ALL the spots. Personally, I don't have much faith in the Brewers making an improbable run, but if I did have faith it wouldn't be all that improbable either so the two go kind of go hand in hand. Here's what I do think I know, though. If the Ghost of Uecker is perchance pulling strings from The Great Beyond, he wouldn't draw it up for the Brewers to go wire to wire leading the division all year and cruising to the postseason. Feel like a gifted story teller such as Bob would come up with a much more devious arc than that.

    You honestly believe the front office will behave as buyers at the deadline if they keep playing like this for the next two months? Sounds like you've already moved beyond desperation to a crisis of faith.

    If it's OK to have a down year why would be in very desperate times as a fanbase?

    45 days on the active roster (regardless of how many IP) would also disqualify him for ROY consideration in 2026.
  7. sveumrules
    Here are the K/BB ratios (& ages) for the eleven Zona Crew pitchers with at least 5 IP… Renz (18) 15 IP | 13 K | 3 BB Dubanewicz (19) 13 IP | 14 K | 4 BB Dorchies (18) 12 IP | 19 K | 3 BB Mercedes (18) 10.1 IP | 18 K | 4 BB King (19) 10.1 IP | 8 K | 3 BB Mercado (18) 10 IP | 13 K | 2 BB Tobias (19) 8 IP | 9 K | 0 BB Carra (18) 7 IP | 9 K | 1 BB Quezada (21) 6.2 IP | 9 K | 2 BB Aparicio (19) 6 IP | 7 K | 3 BB Meneses (20) 5.1 IP | 8 K | 2 BB Obviously still dealing in early season small sample territory, but pretty impressive stuff from a group of predominantly teenage hurlers to open the year.

    Seigler must be feeling alright. 102 MPH single, stole second, to third on an error, and scored the first Sounds run on a Nick Kahle RBI single to make it a 2-1 ballgame after two innings.

    Misio threw 97 IP last year. I'd imagine they don't want him throwing much more than 130-140 IP this year (he's already at 52). I'd guess when he does get the call that they'll be similarly cautious with how many innings he throws and batters he faces just like they do with the other young arms.
  10. sveumrules
    Misio walked 12 guys in his first 18.2 IP and really only has six appearances / 33.2 IP / one calendar month of dominating performance under his belt at this point. I've got no problem letting him stack a few more good outings to show whatever changes he has made are sustainable before throwing him to the wolves in MLB.
  11. sveumrules
    Sure that would be more exciting, but for Wilken its questionable whether that would be the best thing for his long term development. Entering the month he was hitting .164 in AA. Not sure a three week heater no matter how scorching is enough to promote him straight away to MLB. I don't doubt Misio could step into the MLB rotation and perform right now, but I also don't see the need to call him up immediately. The rotation is doing fine without him (5th in ERA- | 6th in rWAR since 0401) and there are a number of veteran arms coming back that are going to need those starts if we want to get anything for them at the deadline. Let guys like Rodriguez, Priester, Henderson and Patrick who are already on the 40 Man bounce back and forth until it sorts itself out. Jacob's first four starts he walked 12 guys in 18.2 IP. It's only been in his last five starts (7 BB in 30.2 IP) that he's appeared to have turned a corner. I'm fine with letting him build on that recent success for awhile longer then adding him to the 40 Man and calling him up after the deadline.

    So far he’s got 11 HR, 41 BB/HBP and 47 K in 176 PAs for a whopping 56.25 3TO%. For comparison Rob Deer was at a 49.78% for his career, Adam Dunn came in at 50.96%, Schwarber is sitting on 49.44%. Even the mighty Branyan could only muster a 51.35%.

    If this is No Man’s Land where are the Pirates? Or the Rockies? That feels overly dire to me. With the young talent in place and on its way I’d say we’re closer to the Waiting Room even if they do finish with their first losing full season in almost a decade. How are they not fully committing to a youth movement? They’ve got the 5th youngest position player group in MLB. Eight of their top ten batters by PAs so far this year are 27 or younger under long term control. Last year Contreras, Chourio, Ortiz, Frelick, Turang, Mitchell, and Perkins combined for 20 WAR. This year they are on pace for like 11 or 12. Young players (& Yelich) are the main cause(s) of the team’s struggles to this point. Between various injuries to Quero, Black, Boeve and Wilken last year, plus Pratt still being incredibly young (one of only five players 20 or younger in AA) none of their upper level prospects are really in a position to help the MLB team at the moment.

    They have the youngest position players on the Arizona Complex League. They lead the league in OPS by 76 points. They have the youngest position players in the Carolina League. The lead the league in OPS by 61 points. They have the youngest position players in the Southern League. They lead the league in OPS by 48 points.

    I get it’s frustrating when only three guys in the lineup are putting up good ABs on the regular, but I’m still enjoying & am super invested in the season personally. The Orioles are a perfect reminder that things could be a whole lot worse than they currently are. My preference would still be for the Crew to turn it around, go on a run and get into the postseason, but if they don’t they’re also in a great position to sell some pieces at the deadline and try to kick off another improbable run of seven straight seasons with 86+ wins (hopefully featuring more playoff success this go around).

    Patricio Aquino went 3 BB | 4 K over three scoreless to open the game for Wisco. Dikember Sanchez in for the fourth and works around a leadoff walk and stolen bag to put up a zero (1 K).
  17. sveumrules
    Eduardo Garcia walked, stole second, went to third on a Blake Burke single and scored on a Marco Dinges sac fly in the first. Hebert Perez went deep in the second for another TRats run. Then in the fourth Hedbert singled, Daniel Guilarte walked, Jadher Areinamo delivered an RBI single and then Eduardo Garcia went deep with a three run shot to make it 6-0 Wisco.

    Black has four rehab games on the complex so far and only played nine games at 3B last year. Boeve has only DHed in his nine rehab games and hasn’t played 2B since 16 games in 2023. Not sure the Brewers would rush either to MLB so soon after injury, especially at such demanding positions.
  19. sveumrules
    Think rehabbing veterans will have first dibs on rotation spots until the trade deadline. Ideally guys like Civale, Quintana, and Cortes (I think Ashby/Hall will be in relief roles once ready) will get healthy and show enough between now and then that they can be dealt for some kind of whatever at the deadline. After that Peralta, Woodruff (don't think he'll be dealt either way) and some combo of Misio, Henderson, Patrick, Priester, and Rodriguez becomes the rotation for the last couple months.
  20. sveumrules
    Yeah, looks like he was a little amped up getting some extra juice that first inning before settling in around 92-93 last couple frames. Either way, hard to argue with those kind of results from a pitcher who doesn’t turn 19 for five more months.
  21. sveumrules
    Ethan Dorchies on in the 6th and he’s working mostly with a 93-95 MPH four seamer. Dropped in a couple 84 MPH sliders, a 92 MPH sinker and a 90 MPH cutter. Worked around a leadoff single and stolen base to put up a zero with one K and two fly outs.
  22. sveumrules
    Quintana delivers with his second single of the game to tie it up at one each. & Handelfry Encarnacion goes grand slam, 5-1 Zona Crew !!
  23. sveumrules
    Jadyn Fielder greeted the new Royals pitcher by ambushing a first pitch 96 MPH fastball for a double, then advanced to third on a balk. Tyler Black has walked putting runners on the corners one down for Quero who gets hit with an 81 MPH curveball to load the bases for Jorge Quintana. & we’ve got a mound visit.
  24. sveumrules
    Dubanewicz strikes out the side in the fifth, dropping in a few 84-86 MPH change ups too. Of his ten batted balls so far he’s at nine grounders and one line drive.
  25. sveumrules
    Dubanewicz goes four up three down in the fourth with a single and strikeout. 52 pitches (31 strikes) so far.
