No Hader win opp!!! Nice Jesus!

6 clean sub 1 whip dropped his era by 1 What do you want? To not walk three times as many batters as he strikes out. Ks are boring

6 clean sub 1 whip dropped his era by 1.11 What do you want? PS play Gamel over Braun. 50/50 split.

Give Braun the day off and play Thames in LF

4/17 4/23 4/28 5/3??? seems about right. 3 IP or 50 pitches whichever comes first seems to be the pattern.

I'm rooting hard for Jackson. The pen could really use a shot in the arm that barnes williams and wilson didn't provide.

It's a shame that Dodgers trade from a few years ago never went though. I could really go for a 50/50 platoon of him and Gamel the moment Yelich is healthy.

To add: Keep Woody in the rotation. Chase has 2 more club option years Davies has 2 more arby years Chacin is a FA next year so that's 1 open spot for 2020 Gio is a 1 year deal but Nelson has 1 more arby year Peralta is pre arby Burnes is pre arby Houser is pre arby Brown hasn't hit the bigs Rasmussen hasn't hit the bigs. And we need 1, maybe 2. Plus they'll be looking for their next Chacin Gio or Miley along the way. I think we need to stop trying to hit the lottery bigger than we need. Hader, even in the pen has hit the lottery. Peralta in the pen could be pretty close.

Teams in a rough spot of sorts. 3 kids you want to groom for a MLB starter gig, but you are trying to win now. Every starter we expected to pitch well has been rough. Every guy we stopped expecting QSs out of (davies anderson) are pulling a Miley season. Gio is Gio, he can be a consistent 4.0 guy. Davies you can't touch right now because he's pitching like our ace and is in a groove. Anderson in the pen has been worse than Anderson in the rotation. He's 2 ER in 9.2 in his 2 starts. Woody is the only kid with a FIP that says his ERA is a lie. He's the most diverse of the 3. He's the one who is ready to cut his teeth as a MLB starter. Unless you are pulling Chacin out of the rotation, and I think that's a mistake, there's no rush. Hader got rushed up, was a throw in piece, had 1 nasty pitch and we accepted that he'd be a dominant pen piece. We got plenty of value out of him. Peralta was one of 3 pieces in a rental trade grab bag that usually amounts to nothing. He has 1 nasty pitch. If we don't stash him in AAA to develop, then accept that he has the stuff to be a dominant pen piece and move on. We'll get our money's worth out of that. But our AAA organization is not in the mountains anymore. Pitchers can develop there. Even if that means Houser, Brown, Burnes and Peralta are hanging out together. Fine, but they have to be diverse. Woody 60-25-12-3... the curve and change are grading poorly Burnes 66-24-5-5.... but his FB is a -13.5 so he should sit in AAA... He was 59-34-7 last year and the FB was his plus pitch. Peralta 80-16-4 Looks like the splits on this guy: Hader 86-13-1 Peralta's diversity is that of a pen piece. Let him be a pen piece or put him in AAA until he can throw other pitches. We as fans get a bit silly about some of the arms we have in the system. Hader Woody Burnes Peralta Brown Rasmussen will not all be starters. Getting high leverage BP pieces who can wipe out an offenses for 4 innings between 2 of them is a great thing.

Jackson doesn't need to be high leverage. Just a guy we don't cringe over when he comes in. A handful of 3.6-4.0 guys behind Hader and JJ would be a huge improvement over what we've seen to this point.

Close it out. He's not coming back to this forum. :-)

I wonder how long its going to be before Wilson is kicked up to San Antonio to play 1B? He has turned himself into a fully legit prospect. Seems to start a level hot, jump a level and finish mediocre. Then come back the next year hitting well at the level where he ended the previous year. I'm ready to let him get his feet under him in AAA for his quality 2020 AAA season. Then again if you let him go to AAA, Biloxi becomes even more of a yawn. Really love checking in on the 19 year old duo Turang and Coca in Wisconsin and the C duo Henry and Feliciano in Carolina. They are punching above their ages.

I have more faith in Jackson, but so far he's through 3.2 clean. Who knows, but surely we've seen worse. Jesus replaces Yelich tonight to be the MVP. Good way to start the series.

Hart throws left handed like I bowl left handed. I'm not left handed.

Mendoza baby... off the ankles.

This could be exciting. Jackson's got it on lock. Happy to see him up. Great, quick, debut to get the jitters out.

Claudio, Jackson, Hart for the 8th? JJ to close? That's what the pen looks like.

Two unlucky ones there for Davies. Need Claudio to do his job here.

They can have Santana’s power and negative war inducing defense, glad we have the hit the ball were it’s pitched, professional hitting, always hustling Ben Gamel. I prefer Gamel as well. I didn't think we would because I worried about our hitting vs LHP if Braun was down. I'm over it. We don't have a DH so Santana is a waste. Braun's fallen soo far down that his war is -.7 and Gamel is a nice cozy .7. Let's max defense the OF and be done with it.

When Yelich comes back can we find a mysterious injury in Braun and 60-DL him so we can play Gamel.

Been hoping Jackson would come up soon. Looks like Davies pitch count could throw him right into the fire. WOW JESUS!!!!

Fluke? Don't you remember reading up on how he worked with his college pitching coach and mileys old coach realized miley changed something that messed up his timing and lead to a loss of horizontal control. He was a good pitcher when he wasn't walking a ton of batters abd getting behind in the count. His old coach got him back on track. That's a fluke? Fixing your mechanics and getting back your control is a fluke?

Well we don't use our Loogey as a Loogey.... part of what destroyed Logan. We used a Loogey a couple times down the stretch but otherwise treated him like any other RP. So yeah he's going 2 IP. Hope they think a shift can help limit hits or sliders can help him vs RHB. As for RLP get gassed after 70 IP. Yup. That's why we have so many guys who came up as starters. As for guerra woodruff suter wouldn't be our 3-4-5... you are right because woodruff would still be in the minors developing. Suter and Guerra would be long men at best on teams looking to contend. They'd be nearly useless to MKE right now...unless they pitched short stints. That strategy changes that and that's my point.

Right... more depth. But what consitutes as depth. 27 innings 3 games. You have arms that average 3 innings per stint you need 9 every 3 days. Counting no rest. Add knebel jeffress claudio. Theres 12. But it needs more depth. You mean like Guerra who has next to no role without short stints. Suter who is a long man. Woodruff who is mediocre if he can't pitch up his velocity at this point in his career. Peralta and Hader who need another pitch to be a starter by definition. You are using math to weave marginal talent and limted arsenals into elite results. It's said it needs more depth. It MAKES also-rans that depth. Low value pieces have real value. It won't stop anyone going good from going 4 ip either. But if you have 8-9 guys who can go a decent 3-4 ip and you let 1st time thru math take over we're starting to see what happens. Long extra inning games always hurt teams. This doesn't remedy that nor add to it. The goal is to win 3 of 5 games and achieve a certain era as cheaply as possible. Its great when you have a small lead and can put in a wipe out arm. That's not required for every win. However, when you can build an entire staff for the cost of 1 kershaw... then use that collection of stuff to limit 2nd looks and elimitate 3rd looks you get results. Team missed the WS because jeffress was gassed and the bats went cold for a few games. They'll continue to blur the line between starter and reliever. We already did that a great deal. More is coming. Having woodruff burnes peralta nelson? Suter? Davies? More than last year... with our next up Brown closing in makes that even easier. You should be expecting more 4ip "starts." More 3 ip relief appearences. Even less short stints. Claudio is not coming here to loogey. He's coming here to throw mutiple innings at a time because 1 results, 2 another odd look to the collection. No big investment... few huge talents needed... lots of good... and some of that good is very overlooked due a league full of teams with different expectations of their arms. Teams starting Guerra Suter Woodruff would be laughed at. Us rolling them out there for 2-3 ip works. This teams looking for a way to collect MORE starters on the roster at 1 time... and use them even shorter stints than last year.
