FYI Gasser was optioned to the ACL Brewers not AAA. I don't think it's a coincidence that he was optioned to the ACL Brewers when his next start was scheduled to be Sunday in Arizona.
Perkins has a 96 wRC+ against LHP this year. The concerns about his impact is severely overstated because he was being used poorly at the start of the season and was playing way too much against RHP.
They are testing this in the PCL. I think fans need to be prepared because the check swing line is a 45 degree angle so it's much more hitter friendly than how check swings are currently called
To protect him from the Major League portion he would need to be on the 40. Being on the 40 protects you from the minor league portion as well. To protect from the minor league portion he would need to be added to the AAA roster in the offseason.
By the stats you shared starting Vaughn against RHP has a significantly worse record but I’m sure people are going to ignore that one because it doesn’t fit agendas.
One guy I'd be kind of interested in is Steven Cruz on the Royals. He's been pretty terrible this year and I'm not sure the Royals would trade him but he has options and some really intriguing tools to work with. Maybe the Brewers could get him to that next level.
Looks like they aren't DFA'ing Kuhnel which feels like a mistake. You need Gasser to go at least 6 innings tonight and hopefully more than that.
Red - Kuhnel, Patrick
Yellow - Anderson, Ashby, Uribe, Megill
Green - Koenig
Kuhnel as a Brewer has a FIP over 10 with a 19% K-rate and 14% BB-rate. He’s been objectively terrible. xERA and ERA are both over 6. SIERA is pushing 5. He’s thrown 44 pitches over the last two days and likely needs to be down a day or two when our pen is already stretched extremely thin. It would be incredibly shocking if he was still on the team tomorrow.
Henderson dominating through two innings in his rehab start tonight. I don't think the Brewers will do it but I'd be tempted to just bring him back after this outing and having him pitch out of the bullpen during this stretch then stretch him back out post ASB
It’s probably overreacting but if Arnold doesn’t do something to fix the bullpen and fast, I think the division lead will basically be gone by the ASB. We have 2 relievers you can trust right now.
I think it’s pretty clear that something with the light and batter’s eye is a huge reason nobody on either team could hit in the first two games of that series. It was overcast in game 3 and both offenses looked much better
