Jansen had a great pitch to bunt and he pushed it to 1st. They teach you to bunt to 3rd in in that situation in little league.
-
Perkins has been horrible as of late and hitting .214/80 ops+.. I have no idea why Seigler is on the field, .203/51 ops+,.. Bauers .184/80 ops+ may be the worst of the bunch.
-
I'd hate to be Murphy trying to figure out his pen. Today the arson squad showed up. He really doesn't have any options. Uribe has to be the closer by default. I don't trust Mears to be anything but a mop-up guy. If it's the elbow, Miller is done for the year. Koenig hasn't been consistent enough to be confident in him late. It might have to be Ashby, but he too has been on again - off again. It would be huge if Yoho could contribute, but his track record is awful. It's a horrible predicament to be in this late in the year.
-
Vaughn is back in his White Sox mode. 5 for his last 31 with only 3 RBIs. Milwaukee has to get him hot somehow.
-
Just when you thought it can't get any worse, it does. They look like the Rockies on D tonight. Bull pen has been an arson squad. Hopefully it's another walk-off 9th.
-
Seigler is hitting .204 with about the same slugging pct... He's not a major league playr , but Milwaukee has nothing at AAA to replace him.
-
I think Lockridge is destined to be a 5th OF (call up from AAA when needed). With Perkins they don't need another OF when Churio gets back. I think Seigler is another one of those AAA emergency call-up type guys. He's hitting .208 and slugging .208. More Ks than hits and not that great a fielder. He is a 3rd catcher so that gives him some MLB value.
-
This ump is a great example of the need for the automated ump behind the plate. Nothing consistent.
-
Boy that inning was pathetic. Crew needs a lot better ABs the way Woodruff is throwing. He's not going to make it past 4.
-
A fabulous turn by Bryce! Nobody in baseball does it better. That's one of the reasons why Murphy doesn't want to move him.
-
I would imagine Myers is headed to Nashville tomorrow. Everything was up in the zone and very hittable. Last year might have been it for him. I'm not sure who to bring up, but they need an arm for the pen.
-
He's back to Mr. roll-over or whiff. He's in one of his cold phases once again. Hopefully he can somehow find "it" soon. With Churio out and Contreras not going so well, the Crew needs him badly.
-
You forgot Collins in the OF. I see Mitchell being moved in a trade with Perkins the backup OF. Murphy moving Turang off 2B. I definitely don't believe Murphy will move Turang off 2B. Frelick (RF) - Churio (CF) - Contreras (C) - Yelich (DH) - Vaughn (1B) - Wilken (3B) - Collins LF) - Turang (2B) - Ortiz/SS aquired in trade (SS) Bench: Perkins - Adams - Durbin - Haase (no way they p/u Jansen's $12M option)

Minutiae, Oddities, and Random Baseball Queries
wntrtxn21 replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The popularity of maple bats hs a lot to do with the problem. Maple tends to splinter a lot more than the Ash bats that were used almost exclusively years ago. Ash bats would crack, but rarely splinter the way maple bats do. I think you're right about composite bats in the near future. -
I was really bummed that Arnold did nothing to upgrade the infield depth. If anyone goes down all they have is Monasterio (.184/55 OPS+) and Zeigler (.185/21 OPS+). Arnold had plenty of opportunities and the prospect depth to do it. I understand doing next to nothing to upgrade the lineup, but getting bench depth was doable.
-
Agreed! They got a 28 yr. old minor leaguer and got rid of Cortes' remaining salary. While many of the top teams are getting better, Arnold sits on his thumbs.
-
Too passive! Jansen won't change much. Still a glaring need at SS and 3B, pen could be upgraded. Arnold has to get creative and find somebody not on the obvious trade block, but it looks like he's going to stand pat and once again hope to get out of their first round in the playoffs.
-
No, no, no. He's scheduled to make OVER $200M (about $25.5M for the next 8 years). No thanks.

Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
wntrtxn21 replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
There will never be a salary floor w/o a reasonable salary cap. Unless MLB nearly copies what the NFL model (salary cap and floor), I don't think there is any way of making it close to fair for everybody. Without a reasonable cap under your proposal, small market teams would be forced to massively increase their spending just to stay even to where they are now. Plus they would lose their prized younger players a year earlier. Big spenders could further distance themselves from everybody else. I don't think a maximum salary could ever be implemented for legal reasons. With an NFL type system, teams could spend their money any way they wanted as long as they were at or under the cap and bad owners would be forced to up their payrolls to at least meet the floor limits. -
Henderson is probably a good start because the Royals need starters. However with Witt Jr. at SS for them long term. Pratt wouldn't be much of a second piece. I believe a deal could be struck with some different pieces because it doesn't look like the Royals are going anywhere this year. However, I'm not sold on Garcia at short. He's a -12 UZR/150 there. The Brewers get a better hitter but weaken their defense up the middle.
-
I think that's the last we'll see of Yoho for this year.
-
He just needs to sit and get healthy. Talk about predictable, Yelich once again rolls over an a ball and ends the inning. He too has done nothing since the break. Tough to get any offense going when you 3 and 4 guys are having a hard time getting the ball out of the infield.
-
Did you mean to put this comment all in blue? Cruz is the exact opposite of a great defensive SS. He's the worst SS in all MLB with the glove. Last year his UZR was a -8.4. worst for any MLB full time SS. His career UZR at short is -16.3.
-
Agreed. Since the break Yelich has been terrible and Contreras just needs to sit. Anybody who doen't think that Arnold needs to add a bat need only to look at this series.
-
*** is wrong with Yelich lately? Whiffs and roll-overs almost every time up. He looks like he did to start the year.
