25-year old OF/INF Noah Campbell signed with the Brewers out of the University of South Carolina in July 2020 as a non-drafted player (after we’d selected him in the 2017 draft but he didn’t sign). Campbell impressed with his bat and versatility at Low-A Carolina in 2021 (.775 OPS in 412 PAs; played all 9 positions in one game), leapfrogged to AA Biloxi in 2022 and produced solid numbers there (.792 OPS in 630 PAs over parts of 3 seasons) and struggled a bit in his initial AAA exposure (.623 OPS in 228 PAs). He had 18 HRs and 35 SBs over 4 seasons, as left field steadily became his primary position. If he seeks it, Noah should hopefully be able land another AAA job and prove his hitting chops at that level. 29-year old RHP James Meeker graduated from the University of Delaware in 2018, but didn’t sign with an MLB club until August 2021 after 3 seasons of independent ball, at one point compiling an amazing 57.1 inning scoreless streak (including his first 15.2 IP with Low-A Carolina). The 6’4” Meeker dominated at High-A Wisconsin (2.45 ERA) and at Brisbane Australia (21 scoreless innings) in 2022 before impressing at AA Biloxi in 2023 (2.33 ERA as a reliever; struggled in 8 starts). 2024 was yet another respectable year (apart from 3 blow-up outings adjusting to AAA ball), with highlights including an MLB call-up (one scoreless inning) and ending the season with an 0.86 ERA over his last 21 innings. Good luck James! 25-year old LHP Adam Seminaris joined the Brewers in November 2022 via the Hunter Renfroe trade. Injuries limited him to only 53.2 AA innings in 2023 (5.70 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 9.6 K/9) before getting some Arizona Fall League experience (5.87 ERA in 15.1 IP). The 2024 season saw Adam shift to principally bullpen work, which appeared to go quite well: 2.95 ERA with 45 Ks in 42.2 relief innings, but the spot starts and late season starts went poorly (9.84 ERA in 32 starting IP). Originally a 5th round pick of the Angels in 2020, we wish Adam success wherever his path takes him. 25-year old 3B/1B Ben Metzinger was a 7th round pick of the Brewers out of the University of Louisville in 2022. Quickly sent to High-A Wisconsin, he posted a .653 OPS in 492 PAs at that level over parts of 3 seasons, with 8 home runs and 2 stolen bases. Metzinger was essentially an organizational rover and bullpen catcher in 2024, garnering just 22 PAs (5 walks, no hits). Good luck to Ben in his next career step. 24-year old RHP Tyler Wehrle signed in July 2022 as a non-drafted player out of Tiffin University (Ohio). Wehrle carved out a multi-inning relief role at Low-A Carolina (2023) and High-A Wisconsin (2024), producing career numbers of 4.13 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 8.0 K/9 in 143.2 IP. Wehrle ended his 2024 season with a 5-inning shutout start at Cedar Rapids in early September. Best of luck to you in the future, Tyler! 22-year old RHP Harrison Durow signed in July 2023 as a non-drafted player out of Trinity University (Texas). Durow produced respectable results in relief work at Low-A Carolina in 2024: 4.97 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 58 IP with 6 saves. He even got a late season promotion to High-A Wisconsin (1 game – 2 scoreless innings with 3 Ks). Good luck Harrison! 24-year old RHP Morris Austin was a 10th round pick of the Brewers out of Houston Christian University in 2023. Austin proved to be a relatively reliable multi-inning bullpen arm for Low-A Carolina in 2024: 4.26 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 10.2 K/9. He also pitched one game in the playoffs (on the wrong side of 4 consecutive errors in a frustrating loss). We wish the best to Morris in his next career endeavor.

Lara collected 2 singles, an RBI and a stolen base his next 2 times up. The RBI extended the lead to 5-3 in the 7th inning. 2-for-4 thus far. Baez flied out twice (one a first pitch swing with runners on the corners and 1 out) and K’d over his next 3 ABs. 1-for-4 thus far. LHP Mark Manfredi has entered for the bottom of the 9th.

Peoria’s game is under way at Surprise: - RF Luis Lara - 2 hard hit infield ground outs (103.2mph, 105.1mph) - 2B Juan Baez - one pitch, one single to center field They’re up 3-0 in the 3rd inning.

How about one year of Devin Williams for one year of Eugenio Suarez?

It's difficult to even draw a lesson from this series. Win Game 1? Lead by more than 2 runs in the final inning of the deciding game? Those are easy things to say, but most series come down to these clutch situations regardless. Sucks!!!

Okay. My understanding is that Rhys will earn an $18m base in 2025, then inevitably collect a $4m opt-out in Feb 2026, since it’s a mutual option which basically never gets jointly picked up.

So we’ll lose Adames, trade Devin, pray Hoskins does a magical Winker turnaround, lose Sanchez, get Woodruff back, let Bauers walk… I guess we need a solid third baseman, though the owners may skimp and hope Frelick plays some third base. With Woodruff coming back, I don’t believe we’ll spend anything on starting pitching (bye Wade Miley). DL Hall will hopefully be a solid starter in 2025 - Peralta, Woodruff, Myers, Civale, Rea, Hall, CF Rodriguez. Maybe we’ll see Gasser in August. We’ll probably WANT to re-sign Joe Ross just like Colin Rea last year. We’ll see. It’s either re-sign Ross or tender and keep Bryse Wilson. To me, Wilson and Hoby Milner are tender-and-trade candidates. Having already let Enoli Paredes and Mitch White walk does not bode well for JB Bukauskas, I think. We may hold onto Rob Zastryzny though. A $10m third baseman - that’s all I’m expecting. Rhys will get $22m next year. Please Lord help this man figure it out.

Thank you Brewers for a fun season which far exceeded my expectations for the team. Thank you God for letting me pass out on this side of the Atlantic and not have to watch that collapse live. Sorry friends - that one hurts like a #*}€~*?*<*

RHP Tobias Myers - 26 years old - 1 year of Major League experience - 138.0 IP vs. LHP Jose Quintana - 35 years old - 13 years of Major League experience - 1,969.2 IP Quite the contrast!

Do we think Pratt will commence next season at AA Biloxi or was the playoff game just a little early exposure? He’s only 116 days younger than Luke Adams (and Dylan O’Rae was playing AA ball by 20 years, 4 months), so they may push Pratt up immediately, regardless of Eric Brown Jr.‘s status.

105 pitches for Severino. Hit 97.7mph to the last batter. Retired the last 8 batters in order. We’ll never know if Peralta would have blown up in the 5th or 6th innings, but the difference in managerial approach here was stark. Tip the cap to the Mets. Too bad for us. Gotta find a spark.

Let’s score some runs. Put the pressure on. Get the crowd fired up.

Everything backfiring. Freddy had retired 8 in a row before his early exit. Obviously we messed up. Sigh

We seemed flustered by Severino’s pickoff move. Whatever he did, it seemed to keep Mitchell from stealing, which probably then saved the Mets a run.

Winker getting a big playoff hit against the Brewers, then yapping it up proves there’s no justice in the world. Like a thief coming back to the crime scene to laugh at us. Find a way to overcome, men. We can do it.

- RHP Mitch White elected free agency I thought we might select the 29-year old’s contract after such a strong stretch run at AAA Nashville (2.08 ERA with 45 Ks in final 39.0 IP). Tough decision. Best of luck landing an MLB contract and starting pitching gig, Mitch!

Hehe. Wenderlyn was my pick as well, though at age 19 (after a late August birthday) I guess he's a bit older. He put up excellent numbers despite a .376 BABIP, striking out 6 or more hitters in 4 of his 10 games played.

EVs against Milner: 107.2 grounder, 103.0 liner, 71.9 grounder, 97.1 fly. Sorry man. Hoped you'd figure it out. Hudson may not have his best stuff, but maybe he's less risky than Milner (or Mears - but that's another story).

Right or wrong, I went with Pena. Higher average, slugging, more SBs, RBIs, fewer errors playing basically the same SS/3B/2B mix. Of course, Made is 6 months younger, with elite exit velocity, more HRs, better BB/K ratio. And he’s also the future MLB MVP. It’s an awesome time to have these kinds of prospects!

“proprioception” - that’s a $7 word if I ever saw one

My predictive power is apparently Nil, but I’ll guess Walling, Timmerman and Costello for the Aussie league. We should hear in about a month.

Thank you for this. I assume the Hudson ship has sailed or we would have recalled him by now. He got solid results in AAA, but I guess the underlying data don’t favor him. What about DL Hall? He’s had some up and down performances. Is he an alternative to Milner and Hudson?
