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?

Chris Roller, Tyler Black, Patrick Dorrian and Wes Clarke each homered in Nashville’s convincing win, with Bryan Hudson making his pitch to rejoin The Show. For the week, Nashville managed to claw back to earn a 3-3 series split at Norfolk. Transactions: N/A Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 12, Norfolk 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Trounce Tides in Season Finale After dropping three straight in Norfolk to start the series, Manager Rick Sweet and the Nashville Sounds picked themselves off the mat to end the 2024 season with a three-game winning streak. Sunday’s finale took a pitching committee approach, with starting RHP Easton McGee retiring 9 of 10 batters faced, striking out 4 while issuing no walks, then handing over to four bullpen arms. Norfolk’s starter also retired 9 of the first 10 Sounds, but center fielder Chris Roller (1-for-2, HR, walk, RBI) made sure the second time through the order was not smooth sailing with a 4th inning leadoff homer igniting Nashville’s offense. A single by OF Brewer Hicklen (3-for-6, double, RBI), error and two walks produced a second run before SS Freddy Zamora brought two more Sounds home with a 2-out double for a 4-0 advantage. Any thought of a Norfolk comeback in front of their 5,481 home fans was essentially put to rest with another Hicklen single and 1B Tyler Black 2-run blast for a 7-0 lead in the 5th inning, followed three batters later by a 3B Patrick Dorrian 3-run rocket. Each of RHP Evan McKendry (2 1/3 IP), LHP Bryan Hudson (1 2/3 IP) and RHP Shane Smith (1 IP) contributed scoreless relief outings, with most eyes on Hudson of course as he tries to earn a spot on the Brewers’ playoff roster. Hudson faced six batters, getting three strikeouts, two ground outs and conceding one hard hit double to old friend Garrett Cooper. The five swinging strikes were encouraging, although the velocity on his sweeper is not yet back to where it was earlier in the season. All nine Sounds' position players produced at least one hit, with DH Wes Clarke having perhaps the best offensive game of all: 3-for-4, HR, walk, RBI. The 24-year old had a sneakily-solid season, producing an .812 OPS in 425 plate appearances (including 373 PAs in his first opportunity at the AAA level), with 21 home runs and 72 RBIs. Sounds’ Extras: Black set aside a rough patch (16-for-99 from August 4 – September 18 with 31 Ks, 18 walks and 2 SBs) to end the Minor League season with a 4-game hitting streak, including home runs in his final 2 games. Will this be enough to grab a spot on the Brewers’ postseason roster? After getting cups of coffee in The Show in 2022 and 2023 (combined 9 2/3 IP) then spending much of the 2024 campaign rehabbing from a 2023 surgery, McGee will have his eye on returning to the Majors at some point in 2025. C Andy Yerzy saw his first game action in 3 months, contributing two singles in five at-bats, with no Norfolk player attempting to steal. Late season signing RHP Sam McWilliams was the only Sound pitcher to run into difficulty on this day, conceding 3 runs on 5 hits in the 8th inning. One would imagine the goal is to get him into the pitching lab, then back to Nashville next April, but let’s see how things proceed. Congratulations to RHP Chad Patrick for leading the 20-team International League in basically every starting pitching category imaginable: This report polishes off a victory-filled 2024 Minor League Season for the Milwaukee Brewers’ affiliates, with seven squads combining for a regular season record of 389 wins and 320 losses (.549 win percentage). Of course, the Brewers’ big league campaign continues, with six regular season games remaining. They’re off on Monday, but will be in Pittsburgh for a 5:40pm CST game on Tuesday.
