Dodgeville vs darlington battle The old Southern Eight Conference
-
Shouldn't be too difficult - they are a better team than anyone in the NL Central right now... No more extra inning games - don't want to wear out their staff. Beat them twice - tick them off, but do it quickly too.
-
All that freaking noise sounds like a high school football game in which the home team has an enrollment of 124 kids.
-
Lyles looks like a very confident pitcher out there tonight. Working quickly - good command of his big sweeping curve ball. Pleasantly surprised. I missed the first couple innings, but nice 4th and 5th frames.
-
Lyles and Pomeranz are total gap fillers. Black and Faria have legit upside, though. The only determination you can make right now on the trades is "we'll see." Spot on. Gives the staff a shot in the arm, without giving up Moose or Grandal.

Jesus Aguilar to Tampa, Jake Faria to MIL
B-Train replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
2 months to go, just stick with a consistent lineup with a short bench. Play your starters these last 2 months and maybe they get on a collective roll. Give Braun his usual rest, but don’t mess with anything else. We still have a very talented group of hitters. They will have to carry this team to as far as they go. -
Add in FF and Knebel and Wahl. Looking ahead to next season, the pen could rival the 2018 group. Faria may be in the plans to be a rotation guy.
-
Maybe? Black is 29. If he has that much potential, what is taking him so long to stick bigs? Pretty sure he's had a couple TJ surgeries. I believe they were both prior to age 26. Relatively healthy since then.

Relief Pitching Options
B-Train replied to BrewCrewBlueDevil's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Yeah that makes the trade so much better. Rather than replenishing the farm system with Moose/Grandal returns Still an hour left ... those moves could still happen. None of the moves made are "all in" moves. These move so far feel like they meet 2 objectives. Fill out our pitching roster in response to all the injuries suffered and to create depth going into next season. These aren’t the all in lets go for it in 2019. Saying that, it matches the results on the field so far. Tough spot to be in for the decision makers. Still time to add a quantity starter or closer, but do we have assets to give up and make it fit. -
Additionally, There are ways to get more than adequate major league ready shortstops if/when the day Arcia is finished here.
-
Good comp. I would still like to add that clear cut back of the pen closer, so that Hader can get back to his role of last season. Still time, I guess, but do we pay the price or fold ‘em and call it a day.
-
Just read an interesting article on Black. Hits 104 on the gun. Has one of the highest spin rates on his slider in MLB. Top 20 in MLB last season in exit velocity. Coming off 2 TJ’s. Control issues. Very volatile. Sounds like the trendy bullpen hard thrower type that needs to be taught how to locate.
-
Watson possibly
-
Rumors out of New York - Jason Vargas being traded from Mets possibly to Brewers. Phillies, in fact receive Vargas.
-
In the spirit of bringing back pitchers after moving on ... Cubs will counter with Mike Montgomery. Likely that Stearns discussed this MM with the Royals?
-
Peralta 1 + and Hader bring it home.
-
Another way to look at the current pitching staff... Remember last season when the Brewer Brass seemingly had the difficult task of deciding which pitchers to keep off the post season rosters? This season just think how difficult will it be to decide which pitchers to place on the postseason roster. What a difference a few months makes!
-
Couldn’t be more happy to see the boys flashing some leather in big big spots. Team effort all the way around tonight.
-
Aguilar’s big body with an assist on that bad throw.
-
3 hits, 1 run, and nobody out. Add on boys!
-
Arizona probably feels like they could have 4 on the board with how hard they have struck some of those pitches. Between Cain and some nice infield work/DP’s, the D has been the story of this game. Give Davies credit for not giving in and sticking to his game plan.
-
This is a super post.
-
What a treat to watch him out there tonight.
