  1. I'd guess probably not with McGee as he's been optioned 5 times this year now. If you recall him in September you need to expose him to waivers if you want to send him back down.
  2. So in a span of less than 4 months Made went from having no defensive feel, being a Juan Baez level defender, being 10 times worse than Pratt defensively, and will never be the Brewers SS to being at worst a league average defensive SS in MLB as of right now and even better than plus defensively in the future? It's just over the top Joseph. The criticism back in April and May was over the top. The disgust over Longenhagen very fair evaluation now is over the top. I get we are fanatics to be on this site and posting about minor league baseball as much as we are but surely there's some self reflection going on here right? Like in a span of 4 months a player doesn't go from no feel and will never be a SS to it's disrespectful to say his upside is only a plus defensive SS.
  3. Because he was an almost 20 year old prep (turned 20 a month after the draft) that was committed to play college baseball at North Florida. Jadyn is a nice story and has turned himself from a nice story to a prospect that isn't an afterthought but it needs to be said that he was one of only two 20 year old position players on the ACL Brewers team and despite being now 21 the Brewers still haven't promoted him to Carolina.
  4. I think you just misinterpret how Longenhagen grades. He's saying if you plucked Made out of A+ and put him at SS for the Brewers today that he's a 40 grade MLB SS. That feels fair to me. Made flashes ridiculous defensive upside but he's also very young and has been error prone and inconsistent with his throwing over to 1B. He said he thinks he can be a plus defensive MLB SS in the future as he improves his consistency.
  5. I thought they were going to go 16-14 this month and revised it to 13-17 after we found out Chourio would be out longer than anticipated. Brewers are sitting at 19-8 and have a 6.5 game lead in the division in August 28th. This is a really great spot to be considering we entered August with a 1 game lead in the division. Tough next 6 games. Find a way to go 3-3 and then the schedule dies down, you get some off days, and you get 2 September call ups to give some more guys rest.
  6. I mean it does. You said the head to head goes completely out the window in a three-way tie which just isn't true. Magic Number to eliminate the Reds is now 13.
  7. The well actually that needs to be well actually'd. What you said isn't necessarily true. If there's a 3 way tie and one team has a better record than other two teams they are tied with then they win the tiebreaker. Brewers own the tiebreaker against both the Mets and Reds so if somehow those 3 ended up tied to end the year the Brewers would have the tiebreaker and be the top seed among those 3 teams.
  8. Vaughn has certainly cooled off from his torrid July but the underlying numbers in August are still strong. July - .474 wOBA, .460 xwOBA August - .329 wOBA, .371 xwOBA Over the last 15 days he has a .270 wOBA compared to a .398 xwOBA so there's certainly been some unfortunate batted ball luck there.
  9. They've already made me feel happy about this season. Though if they choke a top 2 seed in the NL I might be less happy.
  10. And ideally Quero is up from Day 1 next year considering he is down to his last option next season and you’d probably prefer not to burn that.
  11. And McCalvy said ideally Ashby would go 1 time through the order. Asking Ashby to go 3 innings today after throwing 36 pitches with 2 up-downs just 2 days ago feels like you're tempting fate to put another pitcher on the IL.
  12. I do not think the Brewers are punting this game. If they were they wouldn't be using their second best healthy RP to open the game.
  13. I’m going to hold up on celebrating a minor flexor strain until we have more clarity. I remember when Henderson went on the IL it was better than expected and he was expected to be back soon. Now he’s on the 60-Day IL and effectively done for the year.
  14. This is a pretty massive blow. There’s a non-zero chance that Megill threw his last pitch as a Brewer in 2025
  15. Getting beyond the Blue Jays and Phillies series and the 19 in 18 stretch with a 5 game lead in the division would feel like a really great spot to be.
  16. Your magic number to clinch the postseason is off by 1 because the Brewers own the tiebreaker over the Reds. Reds have 65 losses so the most wins they can get is 97. Brewers have 83 wins which would make the magic number 14 not 15. Also for the same reason your magic number for the Pirates to be eliminated is off by 1 as well. Brewers have the tiebreaker over the Pirates and Pirates have 75 losses. Most wins they can get is 87 which means the magic number to eliminate them is 4.
  17. I think the Brewers as a minor league system maxed out at 45 games over .500 earlier this year. They are now sitting at 21 games over .500 after an 0-4 night last night. There’s been a lot of losing during the second half of the minor league season.
  18. If Letson's health allows it, I'd bet he heads to the AFL after an injury took away much of his season.
  19. Not happening without the Brewers adding to the lead. I'd guess Tobias gets 2 at most 3 innings if the lead remains 3 (or gets smaller)
