I'm chalking it up to the umpire and Stroman. Between Stroman's command and the ump's zone, there were so many unhittable pitches thrown yesterday. No hitter is going to do anything useful with a sinker dropping below the knees and being called a strike. You swing at it, you're inducing weak contact. You take the pitch and you're issued a strike. It was no-win. -
I hate the day off after opening day. I think it ruins the momentum of the baseball season just as it begins. The thing is that it's not that hard to have the Tigers, Red Sox, Cubs, White Sox, and Twins start on the road every season. It should just be a thing baseball does every Opening Day. There are plenty of viable cities for a handful of teams to start out on the road against every season.

One of my underlying concerns about the Brewers is whether they can repeat their pitching development magic of 2015-2018. Seeing them develop a bunch of unproven bullpen arms on the fly goes quite a ways towards assuaging that concern.
-
It's a pretty big deal if the Brewers can immediately turn Gus Varland into a quality relief pitcher.
-
That game was not fun to watch.

I want to believe this is the case. I go into *every* season nervous about bullpens because of the individual variance but ultimately, I think I have more faith in the Brewers pitching dev system than I have fear of individual variance. But it’d still be nice to have one more lock down arm, which is a mantra repeated by 30 fanbases every March.

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! -
My biggest concern is that something happens to Williams and then...

The way I see it is second options. This time last year, you had Hader and Williams. If one of them goes down with an injury or (as what happened) ineffectiveness with Hader, you slide everybody up one slot. Williams was a perfect candidate to do that and late innings were still in lock-down mode. This year, relying on Williams with more significant question marks behind him removes (or at least reduces) that depth. Almost every bullpen is somewhat nerve-wracking going into the baseball season but I'm on the side of this Brewers bullpen being one of the things I'm most concerned about on the team. That and the nebulous outfield situation. I don't have to squint very hard to see that turning disastrous for awhile until the team can figure out which one of Frelick, Mitchell, or Wiemer is ready for big league pitching.

2023 Brewers Season Predictions (Post-ST)
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
90 wins would be fantastic, as I think that probably takes the division and it certainly earns a Wild Card berth. -
Welcome aboard, we hope to see more of you in 2023!
-
This is the time of year I need to remind myself that the roster today will not be the roster a fortnight from now and that very little of this matters in the grand scheme of things. Congrats to Miller - and I hope the Brewers figured something out with him - but I'm bummed we're not seeing either Frelick or Wiemer on the roster.
-
Good job figuring out the Voit situation. Bummer for Frelick but I suspect we’ll see him soon enough.
-
Welcome to the site and yes, it's exciting to see these two guys get the call! It's pretty cool that the Varland brothers - Minnesota natives - are now playing for the Twins and Brewers.

Agreed. The Reds should be better than last year but I think they're still solidly a fourth-place team at best. If a few things bounce in the correct direction for the Cubs, they could challenge the Brewers but I don't see the Reds doing so.
-
I find the burgeoning Reds rotation pretty damned scary. This year will be really important in evaluating exactly what to expect of them going forward.
-
Shrinking on Apple TV+ is extremely good. And with the new season of Ted Lasso releasing, it’s worth a month or two of subscription.
-
This is a good problem to have. What’s more likely is that by the time Taylor returns, either Mitchell or Wiemer (maybe even Frelick, too) are struggling to the point that the Brewers want them off the 26-man anyway. When dealing with rookies, failure is the most likely outcome.
-
I doubt anyone will give anything for Hiura at this point.
-
Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! I think Frelick's hit tool could be really useful on this team but honestly, I can't really get worked up if they call up Wiemer instead. I'm simply happy that one of the kids might make the roster in place of Taylor. May as well make the upside play in Frelick or Wiemer, hoping that they make your decision more difficult when Taylor is ready to return.

Thank you for the story! And welcome to the site!

I mean in baseball in general. I always get tense over injuries as camp nears its end. The Brewers have been pretty lucky injury-wise this spring training.
