    It would have been Frelick making the throw not Mitchell.

    I have no issue with him swinging 3-1 but you have to pick a spot you're setting your eyes on and only swing if the pitch is there. A FB up and away is not that spot for Turang.
  3. wiguy94
    Yes fault Turang for swinging at a 3-1 FB in a spot he was going to do no damage on. On FB in the up and away corner of the strike zone and up and outside of the strike zone, Turang had a .188 BA and .313 SLG in 2024...If you exclude the ones outside the zone and just look at the ones in the up and away part of the zone Turang had a .053 BA and .053 SLG.

    It wasn't a crazy chase but it's a 3-1 FB that was up and away. Turang is not going to do damage on a pitch like that. I'd have much rather seen a chase on a changeup dipping below the zone where you're hunting a FB middle or low in the zone than chasing a pitch you're not going to do damage on. Need to keep the bat on your shoulders. FB up and away has been a problem area for Turang with chases. Last year Turang had a 32.8% chase rate on pitches up and away. If you limit it to strictly FB he had a 42.4% chase rate on up and away pitches.

    Not blaming Turang, but man chasing on a 3-1 FB when Devin was struggling to throw strikes was brutal. Devin was locating much better against Chourio and Yelich. Feel like Turang giving Devin an out turned that inning around for Devin.

    14-17. Brewers SP injury woes bite them in the butt leading to a tough first month.
  7. wiguy94
    That would give a competitive advantage to the runner on 1st base with a larger area to safely be, so you can't do that.

    It is consolation in case the Brewers do have a down year that we have so many potential trade assets. I would much rather continue to have good seasons and make the playoffs but the idea of a half season retool is kinda of tantalizing especially with the NL being so strong right now. Teams like the Dodgers and Phillies are at the height of their windows. A down year where the Brewers could kind of reset their window a bit wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I'm no Pat Murphy so I find the path to the playoffs and WS through the NL to be a bit daunting at this point. I think you could argue that the NL has the top 5 teams in the MLB in the Dodgers, Dbacks, Phillies, Mets, Braves.

    The idea of Counsell winning Manager of the Year when the Cubs are pretty universally considered the favorites of the NL Central is pretty funny. Though it does make sense when you consider a lot of people consider all 5 of the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, Braves, Dbacks as likely to make the playoffs. Seems like most believe that outside of the Cubs and those 5 previously mentioned teams that not many teams have a real shot at making the playoffs so if those 6 teams make the playoffs who gets Manager of the Year?

    Agreed just like his brother. I'd also gladly do the contract Contreras got. His bat is good enough to shift to 1B or DH over time. Not like he's a glove first catcher.
  11. wiguy94
    Now we just wait to see if Pena and/or Anderson join him.
  12. wiguy94
    I think it's pretty unlikely that they do a bullpen game featuring all three of our long relievers the day before Patrick debuts. Think it's much more likely that they do two piggy back scenarios. One of Alexander/Thomas and one of Rodriguez/Patrick. Have them try and get 9-12 outs each.

    Scooter Gennett
  14. wiguy94
    Well you’re absolutely wrong to do that. Freddy isn’t an ace but he’s miles better than Bryse Wilson.
  15. wiguy94
    Pain. Very much pain.

    I come bearing statcast courtesy the minor league search feature on baseball savant. vs LHP - .278/.344/.415 expected slash, .334 xwOBA, 90 Avg EV, 15 Avg LA, 42% Hard Hit, 4% Barrel, 17% whiff rate vs RHP - .234/.370/.374 expected slash, .339 xwOBA, 88 Avg EV, 14 Avg LA, 38% Hard Hit, 7% Barrel, 22% whiff rate

    Collins is an OF. Monasterio is an IF. Not really comparable.
  18. wiguy94
    That's just a completely unrealistic offer. They'd laugh the Brewers off the phone.
  19. wiguy94
    If I had to guess, I'd guess they just mixed up Di Turi and Anderson's positions considering Anderson never played IF last year and Di Turi has never played OF in his two years in the system

    I'm officially going to go 86. Brewers start slow in April because of the SP injuries. Battle back throughout the season but finish just shy of the postseason.
  21. wiguy94
    Areinamo with the A+ guys again. Starting to look like he might start the year in A+ again.
  22. wiguy94
    Yeah I just crunched the numbers and removing the players that hit full season/60 day IL lists and 40-man guys that list has 147 players. That would leave 18 available slots. Have to imagine some DSL guys will get called up closer to ACL season start.
  23. wiguy94
    Well I think that is a list of 161 names. Stateside limit is 165 but that doesn't include players on the 40-man or players on the 60-day/full season IL. 9 players on the list were placed on full season IL/60-day IL today and 7 players on the list are on the 40-man roster. That would leave 145 players towards the 165 player limit. I think that would mean we might still see some players come stateside eventually. Just looking at the list and I struggle to see a full ACL squad of pitchers and position players, so I'd expect some players to come over closer to the ACL season start. Edit: That doesn't include Yoho and Alfaro who were reassigned to minor league camp today. So make that 18 available roster slots.

    I think it's pretty unlikely for either team to do that trade. Brewers internally view Pratt as their 1A/1B top prospect alongside Jesus Made, so I think the only way they would trade him is in a move for an MLB proven player. As for the O's, they would be trading Mayo because of an infield logjam. The big piece coming back being an infielder doesn't make much sense for them. If they are trading Mayo they'd likely want a controlled MLB SP coming back.

    He's 1 year and 50 weeks older than Chourio. It's 2 years and you unsurprisingly missed my entire point. Chourio was 2 years younger than PCA at every single minor league level. That's not "slightly older" in prospect years and minor league production does not equal major league production. Sal Frelick's MLB wRC+ is 38 points lower than his MiLB wRC+. I certainly hope you've never written off Sal Frelick's ability to hit in the MLB because by your logic he's not even 2 years older than PCA.
