Rattlers are facing Tarik Skubal on a rehab assignment today. Very tough ask for the young guys in A+. Robert Moore struck out on 3 pitches. Wood hit a first pitch single on a grounder down the LF line. Joe Gray Jr got down 0-2 then was hit by a FB on the elbow. Alex Hall hit a FB to the track in left-center. Eduardo Garcia battled a bit but struck out in 6 pitches.
I do think the hype got to be a bit much for Chourio especially after he hit A+ and the results were very good but not special. He has a lot of developing to do, but he has "generational" type tools with his combo of speed/power. 70 grade speed and 70 grade power (107 90th EV for a 19 year old at AA is absolutely absurd) just gets people excited.
He's a 35 year old who has had one good season in his career. Your consistency with who is good/bad continues to be horribly inconsistent. Ruf = washed/nobody wants him. Bass = good pitcher who we definitely need! It's almost embarrassing at this point.
Misiorowski comes back out for the 6th inning for the first time this season. He walks the first batter. Second batter hit a fly out to the warning track in RF. Third batter hit what should have been a routine double play ball to 1B but Alex Hall threw the ball into LF. Should have been 6 scoreless in his first A+ start but alas it wasn't because of the error.
Brewers hitters have collectively faced by far the best defense in baseball this year. Opposing teams have 25 OAA against us. Second highest is only 13 OAA.

Probably no to 6-man rotation. I’m guessing Rea will get optioned because Teheran can’t. I also think if everyone else is healthy (including Woody) that Peralta will get a fake 15-day IL stint at some point to limit his innings.
I could definitely see Lauer being the in the bullpen as a swing man when they want to go 6 SP for a turn through the rotation, but I doubt they go full 6 man rotation.
1. Reds (Elly De La Cruz seems like a superstar already and that club is playing with a ton of energy)
2. Cardinals (on paper they seem the biggest threat but they just don’t seem to have it this year)
3. Pirates
4. Cubs
He might be 2nd in the NL in fWAR tomorrow. Corbin Carroll is going to run away with the award. He looks like a legit superstar, but with Wiemer's defense and baserunning, even a league average bat might get him near 4 fWAR
