I appreciate Jake Bauers.

Drohan is pretty clearly the #3 starter for this team. Love this kid. Unflappable. Steady. Get Henderson back and a playoff run of Miz, Harrison, Drohan and Henderson. And run it back next year.

Did I miss something that Chad Patrick will be pitching out of the pen now? Or just a one time thing?

Look, fair points. Freddy is a 4/5 on the only team in baseball with more money than the Rothschilds, the Dodgers. But….the window is now all across the field in MKE. So you just gotta get into the post season and have a punchers chance. Lots of deep pieces that can do multiple innings in relief. MKE could win the thing by having three guys able to go 2+ innings in relief in Chad Patrick, Hall, Ashby and Gasser. Freddy Woody Miz Preister Hendo/Ashby/Patrick/Myers/Zerpa Heck, maybe we get lucky with a Letson as a late season bully piece.

I can answer without looking at anything they might secure in a trade (knowing what is “realistic” for a return). It’s “no” for me. This was the winningest team in Baseball. They can win the whole thing. Freddy is too important for that. The system is very healthy. Longevity of the team is on firm ground without having to trade him. there are young players with the ability to take next steps in Chuorio, Felick, Turang, Durbin and Ortiz. It’s a time to play for this WS.

Really happy to have Woody Back! He looked great last season. Let’s do it again.

I would sign up for 3 @ $75M. Risk? Sure. But he looked fantastic at stretches. And I think he’s just coming into his own post surgery. You have to take a shot sometimes.

I agree on Siegler. He does a great job leaning into pitches and staring them to the glove. There were times Murph praised him for his at bats. I never saw it. He did nothing to show he can hit at this level. For Wild Bill: exercise the option. Build goodwill with your best player and leader!

Under no circumstances would I be trading Freddy. There is a good team here. Gotta take a shot every once in a while. Here is my crazy scenario: if Detroit makes Skubal available, I am at that table. Prospects like Pratt, one of Quero/Dinges, Pitchers like Gasser (not Miz or Logan Henderson). Baseball is about to change. Take a shot with what you have before a work stoppage. You roll with: 1. Skubal 2. Freddy 3. Woodruff on a one year prove it (he’s not getting a big deal). 4. Miz 5. Priester 6. Logan Henderson Hall, Patrick and Ashby are the 2 inning guys. Megill, Koenig, Uribe are the back end. Call me crazy! But let’s push some chips into the center and make a play.

Strike zone is not consistent between Snell and Priester

What the hell was PCA doing?

Craig is always uptight. “Well, I guess they are doing a bullpen game, so we’ll have to figure it out.” The look on his face was tight. Murph is just cool and loose. The teams reflect that in these two games.

No way am I trading Peralta. MKE is a World Series Contender. Freddy is their ace. And they have the top minor league system. Need to focus on this post season and next with the resources we have.
