    Dang it! Well, might be seeing more of those 2-inning saves.

    Man Knebel ... making my blood pressure go up.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Agreed. I think he deserves some of the credit for the surprising performance of the pitching staff this year. While I wish he could knock that average up higher, a team could do much, much worse than Manny Pina as a #1 catcher.

    I'm confused by this post. Is Kratz in uniform tonight in Milwaukee?
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Cain Yelich Aguilar Shaw Santana Villar Pina Saladino Guerra I guess Braun needs a breather after that rough one game?

    Nottingham was placed on the 7-day DL May 12, so he is eligible to be activated. He could have been flown to Milwaukee at any time.

    Such an odd statement that I can't let it go without asking for clarification. What are you basing this on? The Packers' historical bad luck with FA TE's? Graham has played in 15 or 16 of 16 games in all but one of his eight seasons so far. People also seem to be forgetting that, despite a down year last year, Lance Kendricks has been a solid, dependable TE throughout his career.

    Clancy hates Arcia and Bickford. He gets hung up on players he both loves and hates. Hence that Adames love as well.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    He'll play. Everyone on that roster plays pretty regularly. Teams don't have position players warming the bench at the MLB level anymore. I just hope that he's on his last chance. Give him a couple weeks of sporadic playing time, and if he is still scuffling in mid June, time to cut bait and maybe give someone like Dylan Moore a shot. I just don't want to see Andres Blanco.

    It will happen. Book it. Just like Perez getting starts in the outfield when we have four guys to play there that other teams would love to have. Sogard will take over second base. When he's not playing there, he will slide over to shortstop. It is the worst thing that could've happened to this team right now. I have to hope the leash will be short with Sogard. Gosh is sucks that Dubon got hurt. He'd be getting regular time with the Brewers if he were still around. I don't really understand the move with Sogard, except for the fact maybe that he's already on the 40-man. Have to think Saladino is going to see most of the time at SS now.

    Cain Yelich Braun Aguilar Perez Pina Saladino Arcia Davies Shaw, Santana and Villar get breathers. Braun back in the #3 hole. Hopefully he comes back and lights it up starting tonight. I still believe he has the hitting talent to carry this offense for stretches. I kinda like this lineup and having some boppers on the bench if needed. Edit: Yikes? Really? Shaw and Villar aren't great against LHP, so it makes perfect sense. Only change I would have made would be to sit Yelich for Santana.

    Signing Lewis would enable the team to develop one of their undrafted rookie TEs or Byrd on the Practice Squad rather than the rookie having to get consistent playing time. Graham can't and won't block worth a lick, and Kendricks, while he at least tries, isn't much better. If Lewis signed, he'd likely get a lot of playing time. The guy isn't a bad receiver, either. Would be the ideal in-line TE for this offense, and likely wouldn't cost any more than the vet minimum.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It may have been a mutual decision, but I guess I just never got the feeling that the Brewers tried hard at all to sign him after making the diagnosis. With the 14th pick in the draft, it was very odd to just say "His family wants to keep him home, and we're OK with that". I'd love to know the rest of the story, but I still think it doesn't really paint a positive picture of the previous Brewer front office. And you are right, while he probably got good care in college, it likely paled in comparison to what the Brewers could have (and in my opinion, should have) provided.

    See, we can draft MLB starting pitchers! Im both happy for the kid, and sad for the Brewers at the same time. Stupid Dibeetus! Personally, as a Type 1 Diabetic myself, it has always bothered me that the Brewers didn't seem interested in working with Covey to get on top of his prognosis. There have been plenty of Type 1 diabetics that have gone on to have successful professional athletic careers after being diagnosed, yet it seemed like the Brewers wanted no part of Covey. A big part of me really wants him to succeed and kind of show the Brewers up on this one. And yes, I know it's been a winding path for Covey to get to the Big Leagues. But I'm glad he's there and has found some success.

    Just three weeks later and Baseball Prospectus now has the Brewers projected for 88 wins with 60.7% odds to make the playoffs which is the third highest among all NL teams behind only the Cubs (69.2%) and Nationals (64.5%). How does Fangraphs get to their projections? We are currently at 31-19, and they project us to finish 84-77. I get there is some regression expected...but how do you project a team winning 62% of their games through almost a third of the season to finish the rest of the season 53-58? Is it just based on their preseason projections and not taking 50 games of data into account? Maybe they are all Cub fans?

    I don't see any downside to that. Saladino is playing great, while Arcia has been among the least valuable players in baseball this year. If the Brewers are going to make a serious run this year, I don't think Saladino is the answer, but Arcia doesn't deserve to play ahead of him right now. And a trip to the minors could spark a change for the better. If the Brewers are going to make a serious run this year, Arcia needs to be hitting and playing solid SS. I am starting to come around to the idea that a couple weeks to a month in Colorado Springs might be the key to doing that. If he can go down to AAA, and rediscover his stroke and more importantly, his plate discipline, he can hopefully come back up in July and be the SS the team is going to need.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It's very likely that if Dubon hadn't blown out his knee, he's up with the team and seeing the majority of the 2B action right now. But things are what they are, and we're going to have to roll with Arcia's struggles at SS, and the occasional Villar brain fart at 2B. It is very fortunate that Villar has been decent lately. If we can get a .285 average and a .700 OPS with decent defense out of 2B, I'd be satisfied. Now we just gotta get Arcia going. Saladino seems like a more athletic version of Sogard. I wouldn't be surprised if Sogard was back at some point, though. He'll go on a hot streak at Colorado Springs (because everyone does there eventually), and the Brewers front office will think he figured it out.

    Wait, you wouldn't trade any young arms for Realmuto? Can't say I agree with that.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Is it too early to start talking about which Brewers will be named to the All Star Game? I have to imagine that Hader is a lock, and Cain, Shaw and Jeffress stand a good chance. Yelich too if he gets hot. Anyone else I'm missing? Aguilar plays too stacked of a position.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Woodruff pumping it in there at 97. I have to admit, having so many guys who throw gas is fun.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Nice solid inning of work from Woodruff. He needed that.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Perhaps it's because he is coming in and immediately throwing different stuff than what hitters are used to from the team's other pitchers?
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm guessing the move was based on matchups. I think one of the changes that the team has made this year is to not have relievers warm up and sit back down ... so it's pretty much assured that if a pitcher gets up and starts warming, he is coming in, and likely with a specific hitter in mind to face. While that philosophy does lead to some shorter starts, it's working, so I'm not going to question it too awfully hard.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Woodruff ended up warming up for a long time ...
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    LOL Suter ... graceful as a gazelle Shoot ... would have loved to see 6 innings out of him, and pitch count wasn't bad. I guess Williams needs work, though, and Suter did his job well today.
