    Doubt you’d hear anything today with the off day for the big league club and affiliates.

    If Braylon Payne is now a power hitter, feel like that changes things A LOT. His prospect status should be taking off with his tools. Swing and miss not exactly where you want, but not really out of control for his age.

    Let's not take Gary Sanchez out of the lineup today, please, Murph. We need his power so long as three of our biggest power hitters are out. Mitch Keller has been a bit lucky this season. Need our lefties (looking at you Turang and Bauers) to feast as Keller struggles much more against lefties.

    Every team is different, but are we seriously doing this again in April? Have we learned nothing from this franchise over the last decade? Also, it's not a couple weeks from Chourio. It's more like one week, with Vaughn seemingly set to follow shortly thereafter, presuming the all-clear from his surgeon on Tuesday. Who knows how quickly they'll get up to speed, but their presence (and the resultant lackthereof from the likes of Jones, Perkins, etc.) will undoubtedly be of benefit to the rest of the lineup. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that it's some of the same people from last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.....

    What do you mean no returns in set? Chourio is swinging a bat, including on the field tomorrow, and is set to be back by the start of May....Probably the first week, which is only a couple weeks away.

    Did anything happen with Henderson in the 4th there? Following on Gameday and said there was an injury delay. He stayed in to face the next batter before being taken out. I know he's been on a limited up-downs/pitchout schedule to start the season, but curious if I should brace for potentially another injury.

    Gotta feel pretty good about Harrison going against this lineup with the way he’s throwing.

    Grant Anderson is low key deserving of leverage innings with his start to the season. I'd probably take Megill out of leverage for now and have Anderson as your RHP to help bridge to Uribe, who has clearly earned the 9th inning at this point. Ashby is really needed in the later innings. Really sucks we burned him for the weekend in a game we lost by 4.

    Think there might be something to the WBC hangover. Zerpa was used as heavily there as any pitcher. Guys just aren't used to having to go all out in that type of hyper competitive environment that early in the calendar. Wonder if Turang's knocks and recent slump aren't related. Add in Chourio's injury....

    Grant Anderson is low key deserving of leverage innings right now. If I were Murphy, I'd take Megill out of leverage for now (if he doesn't end up on the IL) and go with some combination of Uribe, Anderson, Ashby, and Zerpa in the later innings. Of course, doesn't help that Ashby has basically been burned until Tuesday now.

    This is the "win tonight" strategy in action. Nats' best hitters are all lefties, and Patrick is worse against lefties. By having an opener in front of him, you reduce the number times he has to face those guys. Ashby has had a day off and only pitched 2.1 innings in the last 5 days. He'll be fine for an inning or two.
  12. Brewcrew82
    We're looking at a month or more still with Vaughn unfortunately. Chourio thankfully only is a matter of weeks, perhaps less than that. It's pretty brutal when you're having to play multiple of Perkins, Lockridge, Ortiz, and Rengifo against RHP.
  13. Brewcrew82
    I don't know a part of me kind of wants to see Uribe punch someone again.
  14. Brewcrew82
    Also, Chourio didn't get extended until after he had spent an entire season in AA and AAA. Made is 18 and has only about a week's worth of ABs in AA. I'd venture to say this deal has next to nothing to do with Made or his proclivity to sign an extension.
  15. Brewcrew82
    And the Brewers will get an absolute haul and be incredibly well-positioned to replace his production when Turang reaches 30 years of age. The Hoerner deal extinguished any hope of the Brewers extending Turang.
  16. Brewcrew82
    They way Murphy and Arnold have talked about him, pretty clear they are as high as can be on his glove at SS. Which is saying something for such a defensively-oriented org. Think that's what it comes down to, and they'll take what they can from his bat. Pratt was still an above average hitter in AA last year as a 20 year old.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Doubt it. Made has played like 5 games in AA. Wait until after the season, maybe.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Yes considering he’s by far their best backup C option with McGuire gone. Could be Bill still, but don’t think that alone says anything.
  19. Brewcrew82
    It's not a personal attack to point out a not very smart comment.
  20. Brewcrew82
    Nobody said BrewerFanatic posters were smart either for that matter

    Record: 90-72 Postseason: Yes. WC, but win first Pennant since 1982 as Dodgers get taken out in the NLDS. CY Young: Mis. Control improves year to year again. Posts 3.35 ERA over 140 innings but gets around 180 Ks. MVP: Tie between Contreras and Chourio. Can’t pick one. Think both are primed for huge years. Chourio his 3rd year in will take a leap to hit close to 30 HRs and Contreras with a healthy thumb and heading into a contract year will have a prime season at the plate while catching basically everyday. 5+ WAR seasons for both. ROY: Sproat. Tempted to pick the other part of the Freddy trade in Jett who I think ends up starting at 3B sooner than later, but I can’t get over how good Sproat’s stuff and command have looked in spring. Surprising Player: Jake Bauers easily. I think he’ll have a 120 wRC+ type season and play a lot more OF than we think as I don’t think Vaughn is going to have a huge regression either. Disappointing Player: Also easy with Mitchell. You know he’ll get injured again, and even when he’s in the lineup it won’t be pretty as he’s going to strike out a ton and hit the ball on the ground mostly when he does put it in play.

    Woody was hitting 92-93 consistently in the first three innings. Which is about where he was last year. Then after a long down period caused by a 7 run outburst, he was at 88-89. Tells me he was tiring and that he's not fully built up. I think at least one more start before the regular season is necessary.
  23. Brewcrew82
    Joey O having a killer spring. Hopefully we're not about to be reminded how meaningless ST stats are.
  24. Brewcrew82
    Pena to the OF first of all. SS and 3B taken by some combo of Pratt, Made, and Fischer. 1B between Adams, Wilken, and Burke, with a platoon possible. Jett Williams=Ben Zobrist (IF and OF) Likelihood is some of these guys will bust and/or get injured and the "problem" will sort itself The only certainty I have at this point is that Made will entrench himself somewhere on this IF.
  25. Brewcrew82
    There's different types of TOS. Priester was just interviewed and said he has the version which guys have been able to make it back from pretty regularly and in a relatively short turnaround time. https://x.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/2032475095017656378?s=20
