I know the record doesn't show it but I think everyone knows the Braves are better than their record and will likely make a run to respectability at some point (probably too big a hole for playoffs). Top 5ish of their lineup is still very good. Then have guys like Albies/Harris on the bottom who are solid/ok too. And one game was vs Sale. Really their record is skewed by a terrible BP blowing a lot of games. Which of course, the BP is part of the team but the rest of the overall team is still pretty solid and the same core that has been winning for years. Yea, I'd have wanted 2/3 too, but with one vs Sale as a huge uphill battle you still split the other two. Get 3/4 vs STL now to make up for it.

Perfectly solid backup. With Contreras injury and him just kind of middling this year likely because of it. Have to wonder if/when they bite the bullet of an IL stint. Maybe if Yelich is out or hits the IL a middle ground of a bunch of DH days for Contreras could come. Otherwise I was thinking to wrap a DL stint around the ASB to try and get him a couple full weeks

Jacob Misiorowski gets the call to the show!!!

In addition, by sending guys up and down like this you get an extra BP arm in the 4-5 days the SP like Miz would be sitting around unavailable. That's gotta be a big thing for MKE with how heavily they use their BP. So get the 5-6 innings, send down and get a fresh arm up for however many days needed, then send the bp guy down to pull up another AAA starter when needed, Rinse/repeat -

Funny, I thought I'd read that on here regarding him, thanks. But then with all the Roman Anthony talk the last few weeks I was expecting someone to mention it on tv or wherever but never saw it brought up regarding him (if it applies idk). I was just expecting someone at some point to say he'd be up around June 8-10ish due to the rule and never saw it. So I thought I might've been misremembering -

I know it wasn't the crux of your point, as you were speaking in terms of this year. But, bringing someone like Pratt up as a hail mary since its unlikely he can be worse than what they have would likely be costing MIL years of future control of Pratt seasons when he is a much better player than he would be now. -

Hey I hope he does as well, sure. But being realistic, I'd be surprised if he isn't sent down the following day. They have an off day coming Monday. In addition, its not like our starters of late have not been doing very well. At this point we know the Brewers do tons of roster manipulation with Ps, and its kind of needed with how they tend to pull them a bit early so need fresh BP arms. Plus, Mis is going to deal with innings limits too. -
Who knows as we just watch on TV, but to me its pretty simple that his eye/patience needs to come back and he'll go back to producing like he did the 2H last year.
-
The cash out was a hypothetical future, not now. It was if he played next year and did well. Say he played 140-50 games, hit .280 with 25 HRs while still playing good D. I'd be looking to sell him right away the following offseason rather than bank on him staying healthy. After a year like that you'd be able to get something from someone hoping he could repeat it. Basically rather than a sell low now, that would be trying to sell at his peak
-
I'd generally agree with the recent posts sentiment on Mitchell. But, if a trade does come up you think can help the 3b/SS and the other team likes him and wants him I think you do it. And i think you prefer to trade him than younger guys. But yea the question comes down to if a team does value him. Other thing to note is that he only has 3 years left after this one. So say he does finally stay healthy next year and pans out, you really only get him for two years before you have to trade him. Because no way you want to give a guy this injury prone much of any legit contract. And really, if next year he played 140 games and did well, I'd be looking to cash him out right away next offseason.

It was so quick in spring and people are saying it is in AAA too that one would think you could just do it on every pitch automatically and never have to think about it again.
-
Yea while I agree Cubs are a clear favorite at this point no way I'd be giving up on it either. 5 games at this point in the year is nothing, but they have such a good offense and a much easier schedule going forward due to their brutal April. But at some point they're going to have pitching issues and PCA is going to regress. By no means am I saying its a lock that MKE make it close, but as their pitchers are all coming back now if Yelich/Contreras do much better than the start of the year and Chourio gets back to last year they'll have a real chance. Likely will add a basic competency bat on the left side too. One thing to note, if you delete the first four games when for whatever reason they were just not ready for the year, they're at a .576 win% which is a 93-94 win pace, and thats in spite of a completely injured starting pitching staff, Contreras/Yeli well below norms and Chourio just being ok.
-
Sure. I wasn't saying it was doghouse even. More that it might be that he's the type that needs multiple days off since he's used to longer outings, thus if used today he wouldn't be available Friday for the role he's intended. But just saw the post that he was beginning to warm up, so it was likely out of what that poster said. Especially since Mears was warmed up anyway and hadn't pitched in a few days
-
Was surprised to see Mears too but I think we all know that they know it too. It was clearly by intent not stupidity. I'd guess, Mears off since the 1st so by Friday that's 5 days off, which they didn't love. And I'd guess Ashby is in a situation where they want multiple innings and subsequently days off due to health management. So they might have it that if he pitched today he wouldn't be available on Friday (especially for 2-4 innings) if needed. Thus you're left with the guy who hasn't pitched in the longest in Mears. In a sense its a good thing that you essentially don't have a 'bad pitcher' in the pen at this point to eat innings in this situation. Ashby is the closest thing to it for sure but his multi inning status and injury history limit him. So moreso than bashing the coach for bullpen use here, its likely more appropriate to discuss whether Ashby should be on the team. Though I didn't do any digging to see his option status and if he can be send down. If he can't be, well then it is what it is

Feel free to explain that more as I'm not sure I grasp it and might not fully know it. Seems to me they do own the right to highlights of all sports, since they well do show at least some of all major sports. That's one of the things I never grasped as to why they've gone the route of paying guys tens of millions to argue about sports rather than just air the summaries/highlights of sports (for free, since they already pay for it however they do). Pay a random host 2-300K or Stephen A 25 mil, you're still getting the same ratings of people who just default toss espn on in the background. Real sports fans just want to see the sports, not people argue about sports anyway Best route these days is to neve turn espn on other than for live games. The 3-4 times I have in the last few years do to being in a hotel it has proven still be as awful as I recalled
-
Yea my nitpicks on the lineup would've been why Mona at the top. And why Cameron at the 5 rather than lower, probably swap him with Haase. I accept that come days you have to play bench guys so the fact they're playing I don't even worry about, but those would've been my tweaks. Just shows why getting agitated over lineup daily is likely a waste of energy.
-
I'm talking about prospect cost, not financial. Saying someone would be willing to fork over more/better prospects as I don't expect MKE to act desperate and force it
-
I guess this explains something that stood out to me a few days ago while clicking around basic team stats. Brewers were low in OPS like say 23rdish, yet like 8thish in runs scored.
-
Yea surprising AZ has faltered this much but what it does is probably open up Suarez to the market. With his good year so far I'd be shocked if he's not priced out of our range as I doubt we'd be willing to 'overpay' to get a rental with how stacked the NL is above us even if they do make the playoffs. Unless DJ starts hitting in NY, Suarez seems to have Yankees top target written all over him. I'm sure there's a few other playoff teams that will be calling too. ETA: other things to note with AZ and relvant to a Freddy trade market is that both Gallen and Kelly seem to free agents after this year as far as I can tell. If the team keeps faltering both them will probably be put up for sale too.
-
Man this game must be a complete blowout considering how absolutely awful the starting pitcher is for us.
-
Burnes leaves with elbow injury, this is almost always a precursor to TJ surgery. So for our two recent SP stars going for their big paydays, Woodruff wrecks his shoulder like 5 games away from the payday. Burnes (assuming TJ) luckily made it roughly 7 games after his payday before the injury that would've cost him a bunch of money.
-
Kind of feels like they might have the Burnes/Woody route in mind here. Keep developing as SP, and get innings built up for next year. But later in this year as he approaches innings limit, come up and do 1-2 inning outings to help the team and get his feet wet before next year.
-
don't love the chances with the short BP but never know with the new extras format. My question here would've been why not Megill to finish that 8th instead of Payamps. Had day off yesterday, would hope he could get 4 outs.
-
Yup, I believe he also admitted to leaving the sample in his car, possibly trunk, while he went to work or did whatever the next day while it was a warm day outside. Its reported that several other players also tested positive that day, all so freakishly high that they were thrown out but Braun's was barely under the level to be thrown out so he got put through the ringer. Add in that due to testing procedures that the players would have to be absolute morons to be using that day, players then got tested X amount of times regular season so after they hit the last test were free to do anything. And come postseason they had to get tested once(knowing its coming), possibly twice again, and then would be free to do whatever, so if you hadn't hit your last test yet (I think it was 1) you'd have to be a moron to take anything. I'd have my money that at that exact moment Braun's test was a fluke caused by mishandling of sample, just like was assumed with all the other fails that day. It just so happens he was guilty regardless otherwise an innocent person might have had their whole career tainted due to that mishandling. Also, things like trunk of car while you're not with it, in a basement while sleeping in another part of the house would constitute chain of custody issues.

Maybe the best thing for his psyche is to take a two week break from the pressure up here. Go down and try to get back to what made him good the first half of last year. Who knows, but putting up a 0fer every day letting your team down in front of 30K people and hundreds of thousands at home could be worse than the embarrassment of being sent down. they have to do something at the two positions soon. For Ortiz, I'd guess he's safe in mke more because chances are they'll be lucky to find one replacement, let alone two. Not out of any psyche thing that having 2-3 good month means you can never be sent down again
-
I doubt Brewers are going to punt on the season at this point. But sure if things are the same 6 weeks from now they'll likely make some moves. But to this discussion, even if they do Megill still has two cheap years left before FA and I'd guess MKE thinks they can get back to contention next year. The guy I would be looking to move would be Mears, rather than trust him to be closer. Guy has been shaky for years, if you can get a 2-3 month hot streak out of him and cash him out for way more than you gave up for him I'd say go for it. And sure, Megill would get more back but I'd still much prefer to keep him for the next two years as I trust him way more.
