    I'm not sure I trust a single thing Sean Wright tweets. Maybe I'm scarred from earlier NBA trade rumor days? I don't spend all that much time on any Socials. Has he changed in terms of accuracy and actually having his own scoops? I remember I used to consider every Bucks rumor he spouted as pure speculative theft or trash 😅.

    You failed to take into account yesterday's game wasn't actually a baseball game but, rather, a competitive game of cricket. That 'y' axis is actually a wicket.

    I have been wondering for well over a year whatever happened to one of my personal faves in RHP Tyler Herb. Well, after this morning's minor deep dive I discovered a few things: (1) Last season he was a member of Trosky Baseball (an organization that apparently has a direct relationship with the Brewers) as a regional scout and coach of the Brewers Scout Team. The transition started. (2) From there, he joined the Vanderbilt University baseball staff - first as a Director of Analytics and now, in 2025, stepping into a 'Quality Control' position. It would very much appear his last injury (a season-ending injury 4/8 2023 @ Memphis) led him into the baseball coaching and scouting ranks. Tyler really made his mark in the Brewers organization in his two plus seasons with the club. He was a fantastic interview with an extremely affable personality and, when healthy, he was absolutely knocking on the door of multiple call ups. I will always look back quite fondly at his 2022 work in Biloxi where he truly became a reliable workhorse filling multiple roles on that staff and earning his place on the Sounds' pitching staff. His playing career may have been cut short but I expect good things from him as he continues to pursue a career in baseball beyond the mound.

    A Marlins reunion for one of my personal faves. Great insurance for any MLB ball club. The Marlins (and Jumbo Shrimp) got a good one! Here's hoping for a fantastic and healthy 2025 Brian!

    Interestingly, fwiw, Henderson had a slider when he first arrived at Low-A Carolina. However, it had essentially been cast to the wayside as he worked through injury and the development plan as he returned. Very very nice to see it return if true. @Jake McKibbin talks about his outing HERE. I am hoping (wink wink) Brewer Fanatic reporters who have locker room access expressly ask about this early development in 2025.

    Welch didn't even throw his best pitch if that read out is accurate. His curveball, by my eyes (granted only 1 2/3 2024 IP post-draft 😆), is his clear most dangerous offering. Nasty pitch. Sweeper is a newish offering (?) and he does (did?) have a seldom used change-up. I wonder aloud if they are junking that for the sweeper? In his brief appearances with Carolina at Low-A, Hardin also made 'messes'. His control was an issue last summer. I am hoping he has tightened things up. He has what I would call young expression on his tools. His mechanics appeared unrefined when I watched him. Hoping he is more dialed in to start 2025 but this outing gives me slight pause.

    3-0 in 'The Jericho Sims Era' Where were you when the culture shifted?

    Grab a cup of Yoho. You won't regret it. Glorious!

    Career High 25 last night for the Capital City Go Go for AJ Johnson. A rare highly efficient 8-for-17 and 5-for-11 from deep 3-for-3 from the charity stripe. 2 boards and 6 dimes. It's pretty clear the Whiz were targeting Johnson all along - I certainly don't blame them - given where Midds is in his career. As I said previously, trading him when we did when he was just starting to get it (given his immense on ball tools) was the real basketball asset loss at the Deadline. Obviously, losing Midds was sad and the nostalgia there is very real but given his ongoing health concerns and age it makes sense. Losing AJ as a 'throw in' was painful. Still is from a basketball POV in an org consistently lacking youth with big upside.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    That's amazing. 😅 Glad he didn't get hurt!

    They do not own any picks in 2025. As you note, they can very readily buy a 2nd Rd pick if they so chose and another team was willing. Edit: Wait a minute. Scratch that. None of the draft pick trackers appear to have updated post-trade deadline. The Bucks DID in fact receive two 2nd rd picks. The 2026 Spurs pick most likely never materializes due to caveats like top 55 protections and the fact they have 5 2nd rd picks possible with other hoopla surrounding them. The pick that will translate is indeed a 2nd rd pick for this 2025 draft. It will essentially be the 2nd most favorable pick amongst The Pistons, Suns or Warriors. .So you were indeed correct @CheezWizHed.

    2-0 in what will be remembered as 'The Jericho Sims Era' There is PS (Pre-Sims). There is AS (After Sims). Where were you? I am curious if the Bucks will be able to keep KPJ after he opts out. Like a Bobby prove it deal handshake deal? It is clear he likes his new situation and he has fans in the org. Most importantly, he has a big fan in the GM...errr...I mean Giannis

    Capra has serious intense vibes. The man is ready - for 2025 MLB baseball and maybe a bar fight.
  19. Joseph Zarr
    He certainly is a talented enough player to put himself in a serious position to do so. He is definitely this good - ie what you saw today. He's been this baseline of a player (and getting better) for essentially two consecutive seasons. Tis why I've been saying he is the best pure first baseman in the system for over a year now. More than anything, tho, if he continues having a productive ST he is firmly placing himself on the 40-Man radar. As a sidebar, with Perkins' injury I personally think the Brewers 'should' start giving Tyler Black more regular work on the OF grass. He is a sneaky good defensive OF'er and I think he merits more time out there. This is the perfect time to do so.

    Where were you during what is now historically referred to as 'The Vinny Capra Game'? My grandkids will ask me about this historic day. I, for One, will be ready.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    Followed by a prime RHP Tyler Woessner experience inning. Sighs.

    Indeed. ACL can be wacky. AND, every player has a different path and a different timing in their careers. The Jackson Chourio path is not normal as we know. Heck, the KC Hunt and Craig Yoho paths aren't normal - even for Minor League players in their age group. There are very plus attributes to Di Turi's game that likely endeared him to the broader organization - his overall discipline, his zone recognition and swing decisions, his general fluidity, and I would opine the way he carries himself. He seems like a very level-headed young man and player. His first stint was mired in one long slow-to-adjust Low-A slump for the most part. Even tho, and I obviously saw this and 'contend' this, the first exposure speed of play was a tick too fast for where he was in his development arc, I appreciated he didn't change who he was. His swing path and his swing, by and large, remained the same. This does give me hope that with an off-season of strength and conditioning work he can have a bounce back season where he re-establishes himself. A worthy add to anyone else's 'Sleeper' list. 😉

    I know you do my friend. Do you think I also don't know who I'm talking to in addition to not knowing what I'm saying? LOL. Riddle me this: Did you see anything remotely close to Payne's impact in Di Turi's 66 game sample? I think we both know the answer. Again, this isn't an apples-to-apples thing you are trying to get across here. As I said: completely fine to disagree with you on what you are attempting to assert I'm saying. Despite what you seem to think, oddly, as I've state numerous times: I actually just want all the players to achieve the best versions of themselves. It still won't change my opinion of what I saw at Low-A Carolina in Di Turi's 2024 output. This isn't rocket science. ( @CheeseheadInQC: At this point in time I'm simply adding to your comments to try and attract you more views 😜)

    Man, words can not express how excited I am to see Ernesto Martinez get his due respect. So fun to see him in the Brewers clubhouse. Such a likable young man:
  25. Joseph Zarr
    I know you love doing this when you are really trying to prove your point with me. If you're going to tout your Baez assertion here you are comparing an original late season 9 Game sample size to a mid-season 66 Game sample size. This just isn't apples to apples. It isn't. Baez was also 18 years old quite a bit of last season when he was very much a lifeblood spark plug of a playoff contending team before his unfortunate shoulder injury. And then further solidified what I saw with a very solid AFL even making Propsects Worldwide's Top 20 list (above Durbin, no less😅). These two players are only five months apart in age. And, their development curves are in different stages. And, as you know, I watch these games. I am discussing the players and their output. And, that's really it. Obviously, age is a factor. Plenty of runway left for both players. I don't know why you are overly harping on this. Here's another way of saying this: I don't care if we disagree on what we're saying and how we're saying it. I hope both players have fantastic 2025's.
