We all love Adames’ energy. We would not love his .475 OPS which is not too far removed from Dunn.
I appreciate Adames will heat up but 7 years $182 is a lot to pay for energy.
Misiorowski and Carlos Rodriguez have both pitched very well through three starts.
Peralta, Quintana, Patrick, Priester, Alexander
(Myers, Cortes, Woodruff and Civale all possibly back within a month?)
1.83 career ERA with Milwaukee makes his collective performance among the greatest relief pitchers of all time. I agree that he may have the absolute most nerve wracking 1.83 ERA ever.
Cubs at LAD this weekend. Yamamoto tonight and then Sasaki/Glasnow. Both Sasaki and Glasnow have shown very mixed results over their first 2-3 starts.
Phillies at STL and CIN at PIT.
TBD is widely speculated to be Jose Quintana. He has not been particularly effective against Arizona in his career.
LHP Eduardo Rodriguez last faced Milwaukee on 9/13/24. Brewers won 2-1. Rodriguez went 5 innings, allowing 5 H, 3 BB and 2 ER with 7 K. Hoskins hit a HR off Rodriguez.
I still don’t see the Cubs having 2x the potential to win the division compared to Milwaukee. I guess more veterans means more data points to project success.
Justin Steele getting MRI on pitching elbow and is now in the 15 day DL. Colin Rea will likely join rotation. Or, Cubs may recall Jordan Wicks from Iowa.
I think Hader seeming redundant in 2022 with Devin Williams ready to close played a factor.
Milwaukee needs 5+ years of cost controlled talent. In that sense, trading with year of control probably is best.
Milwaukee faced RHP Ryan Feltner twice last year and four times ever with 3.32 ERA against Milwaukee.
Feltner has allowed 19 H, 7 BB and 8 ER with 19K over 21.1 IP lifetime against the Brewers.
Last time at Milwaukee, Feltner threw 6 IP allowing just one hit, 3 BB and 1 ER.
Priester has never faced Colorado but Jacob Stallings and Mickey Monika each have had success against Priester over 3 PA each.
