Yup, that hot streak scoring 8 runs plus over and over can't be expected to continue so coming back to reality was bound to happen. Also seemed the Cubs series and at least yesterday had lots of hard hits that got caught, which is baseball. For example, Vaughn had at least 3 well hit balls that were barely caught. I think at least two were runners on too, if one or two of those fall they likely cruise to win. I think his 4th could be considered hard hit too but it was at the SS so either way just a single (not sure if runners were on) On paper he had an 0/4, but in reality he hit very well yesterday

Ouch, and here comes the fear at the deadline. Hopefully it's just 2-3 weeks and he can get a couple weeks of ABs in before the playoffs.

Yea he's not totally wrong. Not a fan of that style of ranting but that's the world these days. If I was them, if Tucker is hurt then DL him today and backdate it. But if you need to play him due to who he is, today probably should have been an off day for Happ. He's been ok this series but in general he's been rough this year. Tough to bench the rookie today after how he's played, so get him out in left. So then it comes down to Castro/Shaw, just go with Shaw since he's been good these games. Castro has been fine too though so not much to get worked up about on that decision. ETA: With how this is going. doubt Tucker is back though which is good for us. They gave a good package for him including a good cheap starting OF for the next 7 years in that deal. Could have had their whole OF set with him, PCA, the new rookie all for league min the next 5-6 years. Tucker is costing himself a fortune unless he can prove he's been hurt. Still, not like he's not gonna get 200 mil from someone.

Didn't Mears throw like 4 pitches? with how the BP has been I'd probably try for another out of him instead of Anderson here but we'll see
-
remember he had one last night to that was a rocket to the wall. Don't recall if it was caught or was the one that was almost caught. But that was a homer almost any other day. Quite the power run he's been on
-
But it is true. If that ball gets pulled a bit its a double and they're ahead. If its a few feet to the right its a single. By hitting it very hard it increases the chances of all that happening since the D doesn't have time to get to it. In reality, it is 'luck' in the sense that of where it goes in a say 20-30 ft radius. The harder you hit it though the higher the chances. By hitting it so hard it is essentially has to go right at someone, which is bad luck when it does
-
A factor in that is being a switch hitter. Turang is the obvious guy to move up but he and Frelick back to back L is the issue
-
I've thought he's generally looked good in his recent callups and then you see reports like this about how he's been in AAA. Makes me think a descent route from here could be to have him take Miz's spot and start moving Miz into a 1-2 inning reliever role in the Burns/Hader mold of 2018. His innings are going to have to be limited anyway, and Tobias seems in a good spot to start. Wonder if the discussion will start if Miz struggles again next time out Side note: I still don't get why they didn't let him try to finish Sunday's game
-
Yes, if MKE wins today they will have lost a whopping .5 games in the standings over the last week. Sure, it wasn't a good week as you could've essentially ended it and have instead let them linger. But its far from panic time. As of now, there's no reason to think the team is going to have a meltdown type finish to blow it. And really, with the abundance of pitching on the team it would be shocking if that happens.
-
It ended up not mattering, but it was a split second from ending the game. The SB attempt on a 3-1 count when the pitcher is being very wild was kind of dumb and not worth the risk
-
This was the big concern when not adding anyone at the deadline. What if an IF gets hurt and you all of a sudden have to rely on Mono to start for a long time or playoffs. Didn't help to have Castro hit a ding dong and gun a guy at the plate in the same game that this happened. But hopefully its just a couple days off and he'll be fine.
-
Yes its almost at barring historic collapse or historic run by the Cubs level of being over. Really, if not for the 5 gamer as a big variable you could be saying it now. As someone just said, this time next week will say alot. Assuming normal-ish occurrences for the next week it will essentially be at the "barring historic..." point. But, if Cubs go 4-1 or 5-0 in that it changes everything. This next week is big. Just simply go 4-4 in these 8 games and you're good to go. Also, if it goes even better than that to kind of close the door its big for planning roster/injury returns and all that.
-
Yea no reason to have seen this dip coming for him this year. He'd probably be a great bounceback guy next year for someone, assuming a reduction in pay next year. Really he wouldn't be a bad platoon/insurance for MKE to pair with Vaughn since he's LH. Unfortunately I don't see any OF ability in his background to kind of take the Bauers role, I'd guess MKE wouldn't two strictly 1Bs on the roster with how they do things. Probably makes sense for him just to go back to TX right now. I think they're still playing Tellez/Pederson/Burger combos at DH/1B right now. Cut Tellez for him and see what happens
-
And in the playoffs these days everyone is basically a 4-6 inning guy other than maybe a handful of guys like a Skubal/Wheeler. For some reason the rest of the league has seemed to copy what the moron Brewers started in regards to 3rd time through lineup cautiousness combined with loading a bullpen of 3-4 fireballers to lock down those last innings rather than a worn out guy throwing his 95th pitch. . Quick google summary, and saw another note that LAD hasn't had a SP complete the 7th since 2021 In last year's playoffs, 7 starting pitchers completed at least 7 innings in a game. There were 41 total playoff games, and starting pitchers averaged just under 4 2/3 innings per start. Only 16 times did a starting pitcher pitch into the seventh inning, and just seven times did a starter complete seven innings,
-
I just noticed this last night which led me to double check if MLB reseeds after the WC. They do not. So, in theory if the playoffs ended today MKE would be playing the winner of LAD/Cubs. On one hand, you'd want the Dodgers to go through any difficulty possible, on the other you'd rather not risk playing them in the NLDS. And really I'd rather not play the Cubs either due to losing the stadium to their fans, plus it would sting so much worse if we had this crazy season and then lose to them right away. We'll see, hopefully it doesn't shake out facing a Cubs/Dodgers winner.
-
They said it was first time goin going on normal rest, so probably just trying to be cautious. In addition, to keep him feeling good as his next start will line up in the Cubs series which are important games and more important to go deep in those games. This one, 6-0 lead vs worst offense in league and day off tomorrow would fall in the opposite category. But such is baseball
-
Hall has had two days off, kind of surprised he wasn't used here for two innings instead. We'll see how it plays out
-
It's probably all moot when talking about such small numbers and really both sides aren't wrong. But, was just going to add that double plays probably more than outweigh the lost in the sun type defensive F ups. It's all in the ballpark of a wash though.

Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
tmwiese55 replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was thinking something similar in the last few days as someone like Frelick hit some simple grounder through the right side and I thought how that would've been an easy out before the shift ban. Several of our guys would theoretically be greatly hurt without the ban, so yea I thought maybe we've targeted or found a little niche in the market befofre everyone else that base hits can actually happen again. -
Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
tmwiese55 replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think we've had this type of PT issue conversation countless times the last few years. Generally, it continues to work itself over and over due to someone else getting hurt/injured. This talk just happened regarding OFs here in the last month or so as mitchell/perkins were coming back, then Chourio and frelick both get hurt and now we're playing a guy we never heard of from San Diego. Sure, yes if every player is healthy this discussion will happen. But chances are, at some point in the next 4-5 weeks someone else will get hurt. -
It has been blowing in pretty much every day on this homestand. I've been checking it for fantasy baseball reasons. today is in at 11-16. yesterday was 8-14. With them having the bigger boppers on O than us, hopefully its like that too for the 5 gamer
-
You're not wrong in general. But lately the BP has been in much better shape due to all the easy wins. Yea only 5 from Freddy last night but didn't have to use the high leverage guys, got two out of Ashby which is his role. 7 innings from Prierster Monday. Day off tomorrow. Hopefully it stays like this going into the CHC series. Mets announcers on MLB network just now had a gushing over how stacked the brewers pitching is
-
When those trade happened I saw comments on how Yanks have the best BP now, etc. I thought have people not seen what Duval has been the last 1.5ish years and the last few weeks. Then with talk like that I thought hey maybe Devin has fixed himself from the awful start, looked it up and saw he's still be struggling lately. I did not get, but big names rule the deadline. San Diegos BP hype, ok yea I get that
-
This might be the best team ever assembled.
-
Yup not grabbing a Castro type depth piece is the one deadline I think most could agree on that should've been done. Hopefully doesn't come back to bite them
