Agreed, each should be compared to their respective positions.

3b zach green minor league deal; non-roster invitee
brooks_quichenick replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't think I've seen anyone on here proclaiming Zach Green to be a savior of any kind. In the effort to shake things up, I'd like to see him replace Vogelbach to get some ABs at 1B and occasionally 3B. Couldn't be any worse than what we've already got. -
Yikes, I was expecting the LaRussa signing to cause problems like this eventually, but it's only May 18th! I like watching this White Sox team, they're super talented, but I kind of want some more clubhouse drama to muck things up until LaRussa is canned. Terrible hire.

Might not be long before we see Dee Strange-Gordon added to the 40-man and brought to the big league club, Urias can't be relied on to make the routine plays right now. Also, if the offense doesn't wake up tomorrow, Haines should be gone before the plane leaves KC.
-
Ashby with another shaky start. 35 pitch 1st inning with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 3 earned runs.

There is nothing normal about being outside, socially distanced, and being expected to wear a mask in your seat despite...being outside. Thankfully I have only witnessed it enforced one time in the three games I was at. It really depends on where you're sitting, I think. On the 100 level, especially closer to home plate, it seems like almost nobody wears masks and doesn't get any grief about it. In the bleachers and 400 level, the ushers have been pretty hawkish with people who take their masks off for "too long".

this is something that's wrong in America. It shouldn't be a personal choice, it should be a public health requirement. Amazing how our forefathers--who stormed the beaches of Normandy and liberated the South Pacific-- defeated Polio, Smallpox, etc. Yet now because we've been insulated from these sicknesses for decades, people feel they don't have to get vaccines because they read fake news from false prophets. They either claim religious reasons or personal choice. Do we really need to do this again? Again and again, it's been mentioned that you CAN test positive even if you get one of the injections. You have absolutely no clue what Corbin did or did not do, and frankly it's none of your business. "All seven people within the Yankees traveling party who have tested positive since Sunday were vaccinated and past the two-week mark. Six of seven are asymptomatic."

That baseball was hit very, very far
-
Amazing. Starters have to be absolutely perfect to get a win
-
Gant barely threw a ball inside the strike zone that inning. Three K's. I'm ok with Haines getting the axe even if it's not his fault, team needs a change of some sort.
-
gotta laugh at that reaction from Gant. pitch wasn't even close lol
-
Ashby with 5 walks on 67 pitches through just 2.2 IP, and gets an early exit from Rick Sweet. Also struck out 3, but a very shaky outing overall.
-
If catchers aren’t allowed to block home plate, infielders shouldn’t be able to block the bases. Frustrating to beat the ball but get called out like that
-
Where would all of the TV advertisements go? That's the main reason for the long mid-inning breaks sadly.

Link Report for Sunday 5/9

Ernesto Martinez is FUN -
I’m not mad, I’m actually laughing.
-
Some unlucky misses with Garcia and Taylor so far.

Looks like Nashville's game tonight has been postponed due to rain.

2021 Minor League Transaction Thread
brooks_quichenick replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
“Player moves: RHP Noah Zavolas has been moved to @nashvillesounds and OF Mitch Longo has been signed to a minor league contract and assigned to @BiloxiShuckers” -
I think we're 17-15 because we got really lucky in April and we have some really awesome pitchers who have still been generally healthy. It isn't a testament to our depth. Our depth has stunk when needed and the lack of good depth is why we are losing games. Reyes has stunk. Bettinger has stunk. Godley stunk. Zimmerman stunk. Maile stinks. Vogelbach stinks. The only piece of depth that has remotely been any good stepping up is Taylor and to some extent, Lauer. Ok, well I suppose if you want to look at it glass half empty that's fine, but on the other hand, if the only reason we're 17-15 is because we got really lucky in April, than haven't we just been really unlucky in May? We've lost 5 in a row, 4 of which were extremely close games where the starting pitching faltered a little bit and the offense couldn't quite make up for it. The sky is not falling. The 2018 Brewers lost 5 in a row in Pittsburgh and we all panicked, then they ended up being extremely good.

Take your pick. Reyes. Vogelbach. Robertson. Jace Peterson. Fisher. Maile. Godley. Zimmerman. Lindblom. Yardley. At least 25% of our 40 man roster is organizational fodder that could be DFAed tomorrow and their contributions would never be missed. Frankly, I left out a lot of guys that could probably be included. Nottingham for instance, who has been DFAed twice himself in the last month and by very definition probably fits into that category of guys. It has to be the shallowest 40 man roster of any club that realistically expects to contend. There are 4 or 5 pitchers on this roster, mostly holdovers or trades from before Stearns was even here, that are the difference between us being an expected contender and one of the worst franchises in baseball. I think the fact that we're 17-15 despite 15 players from our 40-man being on the injured list shows that actually, this might be one of the deeper 40-man rosters of any club in MLB. Most teams have lots of "organizational fodder" filling out their 40-man. With that said, I won't be heartbroken when Zimmermann retires or Godley/Vogelbach are DFA'd to make room for a Zach Green.
-
Who can we jettison from the 40-man to make room for Zach Green. Cannot be any worse than what we've got at the corners right now.
-
Vogelbach can take a hike any day now
-
Ernesto Martinez took a fastball off the forearm/wrist area, initially stayed in the game to run the bases, but was removed the following half inning. Unfortunate, hopefully he's ok.
-
Pretty exciting to be watching Caden Lemons on the mound. Some command issues a bit early, but his stuff looks really good
