I know we're all caught up in the euphoria over the freshmen and the run-scoring right now (and rightly so), but I'm most excited about our rotation, mainly because I believe their success is more sustainable over the long haul. Miley, our fifth starter(!), just followed up Freddy and pitched 6 shutout innings against the mighty Mets. Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta, Lauer, and Miley is just an elite rotation and probably the best in the game at the moment. Here's hoping everyone stays healthy!

Wiemer's an option. Though, I think Turang is a better fit for the leadoff spot, and he had reverse splits in the minors so I wouldn't sit him for Miller.
-
We'll see. It's a long season, and these rookies will inevitably experience their rough patches. That said, they are so much fun to watch right now. Luis is still a very good ballplayer, though. Depending on how things look at the deadline, I might consider trading Taylor for a reliever or something. But right now, he's valuable as insurance for the rookies.

I would love to see this lineup tomorrow against the lefty... Turang 4 Adames 6 Yelich 7 Contreras 0 Anderson 9 Brosseau 5 Voit 3 Caratini 2 Wiemer 8 If Counsell is going to hit Yelich 3rd against lefties, I would rather Turang leadoff than Brosseau.
-
This is fun! Burnes for the sweep tomorrow!
-
The confidence these young guys are getting right now is so important for the rest of the year.
-
Wow. No words. Just no words.
-
Brian Anderson!!!
-
I don't think it's disrespect as much as it is concern over his high K%, high groundball% profile, which doesn't portend to much success in the majors.
-
I like Miley a lot better than Chi Chi and Alexander. That's for sure.
-
Cardinals' starting pitching....LOL
-
Great at-bat from Wiemer. Very promising to see him laying off the low and outside sliders.
-
Rowdy...Might be a good day to sit him tomorrow against the lefty.
-
Stop it Turang. Creating too much hype.
-
We also have Urias for 2B, too, FWIW.

It’s more likely that at least one of Wiemer or Mitchell flames out due to contact issues, while Frelick establishes himself as a high average/high OBP bat that you can’t take out of the lineup. I mean, there’s a reason why Frelick is a consensus top 50 prospect while Wiemer and Mitchell are not.. That Chourio is more of a LF than a CF is not the consensus from the prospect industry either. He’s pretty much unanimously rated as a future 60 grade defender in CF. Most likely, according to the industry, you end up with Frelick in LF, Chourio in CF, Wiemer/Mitchell in RF. Probably Wiemer barring a swing change from Mitchell, as his high ground ball % and high K % is no bueno.
-
That is asinine.
-
Trading Yelich is great in theory, but it’s important to remember that he has a full no-trade clause…
-
Why is Frelick most likely to get traded, other than the fact that he’s the only one yet to reach majors? Top prospect of the bunch and much safer with the bat compared to Mitchell and Wiemer…. If any of them are getting traded, it seems to me like it would be Mitchell in order to clear they way for Chourio in CF.
-
What’s asinine is to think that Turang’s development has little to no bearing on the Brewers’ decision to trade Adames in the off-season. As the team has stated many times, their goal is to be competitive on a yearly basis. You don’t think that Turang sucking would cause them to be a more reticent about subtracting an All Star caliber SS from the club? In such a scenario, they could decide that it’s better to hold on to Adames for draft pick compensation in order to give more time for Turang to develop or to find alternative options while they continue to shoot for the playoffs. In addition, Turang’s development could decrease the motivation for them to pursue an extension for Willy at his likely price tag, in which case a trade becomes all but certain.
-
And why can’t I? One is a short-term perspective focused on winning ballgames on the present, while the other is oriented in the long-term in light of the Brewers stated strategy of remaining perpetually competitive. Brewers can’t afford Willy at current market prices for a FA SS as established this offseason. I think we all pretty much realize this by now. With one year of control remaining after this season, the Brewers are already going to be highly incentivized to trade him, regardless of the replacement options. If Turang continues on this trajectory, the incentive will increase even more as the Brewers would have a proven high-quality, low-cost replacement at the ready while they try to remain competitive... On the other hand, you have person(s) demanding a lineup change as it relates to this season after a mere four games, when Yelich has proven to be an elite on-base threat and Turang remains a developing rookie. That’s what I believe to be best for winning games in the present, particularly when we’re already scoring runs in droves. You can be high on Turang in the future, while cautioning people to reel in expectations in the present and to let his development take its natural course.
-
Asinine? You gotta be kidding me…After the events of this past free agency in the shortstop market, the Brewers are highly likely to be dangling Adames in the off-season as he’ll have one year of control remaining. Turang’s development will put them in a better position to do so, as Turang can take over at SS. Please tell me, what’s asinine about that?
-
Every time Turang gets on base is another step Willy takes out the door…

Cardinals rotation....not so good. -
3-1 start to the season! 10-0 pasting of the Mets and their $300 million+ offseason! Brice Turang superstar!
