Love it. I don't like seeing guys melt down on the field but I do like seeing aggravating players be punished for self-inflicted mistakes. -
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.
-
I view it akin to the NBA. Others may feel differently but I don't like that 46 minutes of the game fly by and the final two minutes take 20 real-time minutes to finish. Slowing the game down a bit during tense moments is fine. But that will happen with the clock either way. Catchers will be slower to throw back to the pitcher. Fielders will slow down throws. More pitching changes will happen. All of that can and likely will happen without violating any rules of the pitch clock whatsoever. But it'll all be done without pitchers roaming around the mound, stepping off constantly, and all the things that I find absolutely aggravating late in games.

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 to Brewer Fanatic! I think the pen will be pretty good this year but a ton hinges on Williams. With the loss of Hader, there isn't a fall-back behind Williams that really makes the pen look great. Basically, there are several good arms but not the elite depth we've enjoyed the past couple of seasons. And given the general volatility of bullpen arms, that's slightly concerning.
-
For sure. I hope it has a cascading effect. More running and athleticism is good for the sport.
-
Welcome aboard, we hope to see more of you in 2023!
-
I've said it a bunch of times but I don't get why AmFam's concessions are so lackluster. Most of the rest of baseball moved past that part of the fan "experience" quite some time ago. I can rattle off a half dozen things at Target Field that aren't just okay, they're legitimately good.
-
Yet somehow, the cheese they actually serve you at the ballpark will look worse.
-
I'd classify Hiura as a AAAA guy but my opinion of AAAA guys is that they're generally pretty capable players with flaws who just haven't received a legitimate shot at regular playing time. That certainly fits a description of Hiura.
-
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.
-
First, welcome to the site. Second, it's very unlikely Keston will hit over .300. After his breakout rookie campaign, he hasn't had a batting average higher than .226. The reality is that Hiura is a player who misses the ball way too often and doesn't have a position. I hope he sticks somewhere else and does well - I have no animosity toward the guy - but he just didn't fit into the Brewers plans anymore.
-
I truly hope this is the case.
-
I hope this continues, though I’m skeptical. I have a nagging feeling teams tried out the new running game and will immediately revert to previous trends once games matter.
-
Good job figuring out the Voit situation. Bummer for Frelick but I suspect we’ll see him soon enough.
