    Seems pretty unlikely they will burn a 40-man spot for this offseason that doesn't need to be burned for 10 MLB games.

    Our magic number over the Reds is 5 because we own the tiebreaker. If Brewers finish 4-9, Reds would need to finish 11-0. Point being the Reds are not a concern.

    I think there is less than a 1% chance the Brewers line up their rotation to have Miley pitch in the WC series. Keep the Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta order and win in 2 games so Peralta can pitch game 1 of the NLDS.

    I don’t know if it’s guaranteed but seems like Carlos F Rodriguez (SP) is getting promoted to Nashville for this final week judging by his Instagram.
  5. wiguy94
    Well that's a nice added bonus.
  6. wiguy94
    Isn't it 3 weeks? Turang was down 23 days and there are only 15 days left in the MLB season.
  7. wiguy94
    Yeah definitely was to say to sit Megill down and get Milner back up.

    I'm quite frankly shocked they used Ernesto Martinez as a pinch runner and didn't use him to pinch hit for Kahle...Clarke was at DH. Just eat the DH and move him to catcher. Just disappointed the season ended with Kahle a guy who has barely played all season at the plate.

    Isaac Collins with a leadoff HR for Biloxi. Up 1-0 in the bottom of the first!

    Burnes threw so many meatballs that day. Threw a cutter right down the middle to Maldonado that he hit out. Threw a hanging slider right down the middle to Dubon that he hit out. Threw a 93 mph cutter at the bottom of the zone but center of the plate to Alvarez that he hit out. Contreras wanted the backdoor cutter and Burnes drifted it over the center of the plate.
  11. wiguy94
    I just looked it up. The last time Contreras caught Burnes was May 22nd against the Astros. Burnes gave up 4 HR in that game.
  12. wiguy94
    Luis Arraez on a bit of a power surge. He had 1 HR in the series against us, but also a near HR on a fly ball, a double off the wall in CF, and 2 warning track fly outs to RF in our series. In the first 13 innings of the Marlins-Braves series he has 3 HR.
  13. wiguy94
    Yeah the reality of the situation is Contreras, Canha, and Tyrone have been the Brewers 3 best hitters since the ASB. If Contreras is at DH it forces one of Canha/Taylor to the bench and that would likely be Tyrone. So you have worse offense and defense if Caratini is behind home plate and the margins in the playoffs will matter especially to a team like us. I don't know if we will actually get Contreras catching Burnes in the playoffs, but I am glad we are at least giving it a try while we have such a solid lead in the division and playoff race.
  14. wiguy94
    Well I imagine they are trying to see if Contreras can catch Burnes in the playoffs. I talked about it at the end of the game thread yesterday. During the regular season it doesn't really matter but come the playoffs when Burnes is pitching 25+% of our games, it becomes a bit problematic to have to include Caratini in the lineup especially with how he's hit the last 2 months.
  15. wiguy94
    WOAH. Conteras is catching Burnes today. Don't think that has happened since late April/early May
  16. wiguy94
    If we do win the WC, I will be very thankful to face the Dodgers and not the Braves. Dodgers are a great team but the Braves are just in a different class in my opinion.
  17. wiguy94
    Mitchell is both a better baserunner and faster human? Wiemer isn't anything special running the bases. These are their MLB SB/CS numbers and BsR numbers. Mitchell - 44 G, 130 PA, 9 SB to 0 CS, 3.0 BsR Wiemer - 131 G, 410 PA, 11 SB to 4 CS, 0.7 BsR Mitchell is significantly better.

    He swung 10 times and whiffed 6 times. He hasn't played in games in months so that's not surprising, but he only has 8 games left at AAA to rehab. There's no way he gets the bat up to speed after missing almost 6 months of baseball.
  19. wiguy94
    Already started yesterday. He went 0-4 with 3 K’s. Looked pretty lost up at the plate but I guess that’s not surprising for how much time he’s missed. I think at this point he’s probably just trending to be a pinch runner type role in the playoffs
  20. wiguy94
    I’ve seen speculation that the Angels aren’t IL’ing him because they are so marginally below the luxury tax line they sending him to the IL and calling up someone to replace him could push them over the luxury tax line. If that’s true it’s an embarrassment for the franchise and league.
  21. wiguy94
    For what it is worth, I am most definitely not advocating we force Contreras on Burnes at this point. We just have to reap what we have sowed and keep rolling with Caratini. I’m just saying it’s frustrating that we will be trotting out a weaker playoff lineup in 25+% of our playoff games because Burnes gave up on Contreras catching him after a few starts.
  22. wiguy94
    Anyone. Nobody on the team should have demanded Caratini be their personal catcher. Miley just had glowing reviews for how Contreras has matured and grown behind the plate this year. For a team that wins on the margins having to start a guy like Caratini in the playoffs could have some consequences. You go from Taylor, Canha, Contreras playing to Caratini, Canha, Contreras playing. Here are their wRC+ since the ASB Contreras - 133 Canha - 118 Taylor - 116 Caratini - 58 That’s a pretty sizeable drop off going from Taylor/Canha in the lineup to Caratini. With the playoff schedule this season how many games do you think Caratini would have actually caught? NLDS has 3 scheduled off days and the NLCS and WS have 2 scheduled off days.
  23. wiguy94
    I feel like you’re missing the point. Corbin gave up on Contreras very early in the season and demanded Caratini be his personal catcher. For the regular season that’s fine, but it’s it makes us weaker in the playoffs when Burnes is going to be starting over 25% of our games. Game 1 of the playoffs instead of having Tyrone’s defense in RF with Canha at DH and Contreras behind home plate we get Canha in RF (worse defensively), Caratini at C (worse defensively and offensively), and Contreras at DH. With the scheduled off days in the playoffs, Caratini would have been lucky to start even a single game and now he will be starting a big chunk of them. That’s a lot of PA to be forced to a 58 wRC+ hitter since the all star break.
  24. wiguy94
    Wade Miley had glowing reviews for Contreras tonight. How he totally changed up the gameplan after the first inning and got Miley back on track. I was so happy reading that then it made me think how annoying it is that Burnes demanded Caratini as his personal catcher. It basically eliminates the DH for 25% of our postseason games because Caratini will be catching and Contreras will be the DH
  25. wiguy94
    Wood Ducks walk it off on a sac fly to RF. Carolina's season is over.
