At Coors facing a left with an 8 ERA, he’s gotta be able to do something today.

Really only need three starters in the playoffs anyway so if one is available we are good to go.

I thought he’d gone cold even on that after his hot start, but it’s nice to see he has that going for him still.

The fourth is Sanchez not Mitchell

He’s a great example of not striking out much isn’t necessarily a good thing. Weak groundouts ahoy.

Hardin has a much higher ceiling than Crow. Whether that will translate right now who knows, but Hardin has a ceiling that rivals any pitcher in the system imo.

It’s wild to me they aren’t even playing Chourio RF at least a little bit to get Frelick out of there and both Bauers/Vaughn in the lineup.

Also challenged a pitch which pitchers aren’t supposed to do and lost.

McGreevy is having a heck of a year so far so not gonna complain about getting a run on the board, and despite some weak at bats at least driving his pitch count up.

He also had to throw a ton pitches in the first inning after the Hamilton error and then had to immediately go out there for the second inning after the bottom of the lineup put up a quick dreadful performance.

I think so, I compare it to drafting pass rushers in the first round of the NFL. Even though the bust rate is high for them, it is a premium position and like power in MLB, high risk but HIGH reward. And considering the Brewers have shown the ability to draft other types and pitching later in the draft, I think it is a good idea to keep hunting for power early in the draft. And you also get the boon of the international signings, which lessens the impact if you miss on these guys so you might as well as swing for the fences (sorry).

Red Sox fans like to say that, but then why did they trade for two SPs before the Durbin trade in the offseason in Gray and Oviedo?

Brewers were willing to start Bauers twice in LF in the playoffs so yeah agreed he should start in LF against RHP until performance from him or others dictates otherwise.

They aren't playing backup though since Yelich is basically the full time DH now, so one of them has to be the starter. I do think Perkins makes and stays on the team no matter what, but he is like permanently the backup. Like if they start out with Mitchell and he fails, I think Lockridge comes up to be the starter and Perkins stays in the backup role for example. The good news in general is there's a ton of options so you hope one of them pans out, be it Mitchell, Lockridge, Jett, put Chourio in CF and Bauers in LF, hell maybe Baddoo tears up AAA and gets a shot in LF etc.

And in a similar vein International players, even if they got a big bonus, are more apt to sign an extension because a good chunk of that signing bonus money ends up going to their handlers.
