    Wonderful, fantastic read. Since he joined the Brewers, I’ve been fascinated by him constantly out performing his stuff. Thanks for writing such a clear article about it. Now about his size….I know he’s a big sumbidge and weighs a lot and is pretty tall besides, but there is just no way this dude is 6’7. I’d be shocked. My eyes can’t deceive me that much.

    Thank you!!

    Does anybody know if Larry Hisle is still with the crew in his community engagement capacity?

    I’ve been thinking about this all season. I think sometimes we Crew fans take for granted his consistency (year over year) because of his somewhat inconsistent performances game to game. He’s a wonderful human being. Proving to be durable as well. When I watched the nice little special the Brewers production team did a few months ago on Freddy and where he comes from, I noted how his mom said something like she prays all the time that he spends his entire career with the Brewers because of how they have treated him and how happy he has been the day he joined the organization. It wasn’t just lip service she was patently sincere.

    I presume if they weren’t facing the worst team in the league, he may have gone about it a bit differently.

    Paredes has been used a lot and obviously didn’t have his A stuff today. Liked how he still didn’t nibble and just pitched to contact with confidence. I like him. I like him well. This team is so much more fun without Craigory.

    Hahaha I love Willy

    The Sanchize!

    Didn’t have the chance to post today while at work, but…..The SANCHIZE!!!!!

    Yeah whats intriguing is I think the bullpen will only get better too. I mean obviously Williams, but trading guys like Junis for White, or if they put Hall in the bullpen and just let him go. I mean, look out!

    Good article. Just to be clear - Payamps hasn’t really “struggled”. He pitched poorly around his long layoff. But he is firmly entrenched in the Brewers plans this year, and most likely beyond as he is still controllable. It would be shocking to see him let go of mid season. He would most likely have to perform pitifully for over a month straight. I mean, we saw how long of a leash Vieira got…. For some reason a lot of fans seem to underestimate how high the Brewers are on Payamps, and how high they have been on him for several years. They had wanted to acquire him long before they did, and he has pitched admirably ever since.
  12. Sugarrayray
    I agree with those sentiments entirely.
  13. Sugarrayray
    True and, sadly, true.

    Bauers has proven over his major league career that he’s…..not a major league player. His one strength of first base defense is mitigated with him in the outfield. His strike out rate is unsustainable. Chourio is twenty, 1000 times more talented, and a better outfield defender. He needs to play through ups and downs to get better, not be benched for a replacement level player. Furthermore he was starting to take pitches very well and was raising his batting average in the week before this benching. How Chourio has performed in his first month as the youngest player in the league should not merit a knee jerk reaction to an almost week long benching. He is known for making fantastic and effective adjustments throughout his career. Bauers is…..not known for that.

    This Bauers and Dunn fetish has to stop. One thing Counsell always did was interrupt hitters’ rhythms. As soon as someone gets going they sat inexplicably. As stated on this thread, Chourio was starting to put together some really good at-bats, now he mysteriously gets four games off while Frelicks’ at bats look more pathetic by the day, and this soft platoon with Ortiz is downright maddening. Looks like Murph inherited some bad habits from Counsell.
  16. Sugarrayray
    The Sanchize!! Bad send on bad lead/baserunning for Dunn. Tired of him playing over Ortiz.
  17. Sugarrayray
    The Sanchize!!!!!
  18. Sugarrayray
    They want their players to run. I guess they could be sending everyone else but him? I doubt that. There’s no way Willy should have more stolen bases than him.
  19. Sugarrayray
    Does anyone have any idea why Frelick refuses to attempt stolen bases this year? This catcher literally is unable to throw guys out. He only gets on first due to weak power and walks, why is he refusing to use his speed on a team that encourages it.
  20. Sugarrayray
    I for one am keenly looking forward to seeing what 7-10 starts a piece look like for Gasser and Myers. If Junis does indeed come back to the bullpen, perhaps they can stretch him out slowly if need be. Its really a bummer about Rodriguez so far this year. Would have loved to see him take that next step and be available for spot starts. He still may yet.
  21. Sugarrayray
    Man the Brewers normally don’t do this; try to fix something that isn’t broke. I really can’t see any reason why they forbade him from throwing a four seam 5% of the time and upping it to 20% of time with two strikes. It just seems like such a strange thing to eliminate.
  22. Sugarrayray
    Have been wanting to this talked about because it’s so absurd. Thank you for addressing it. Another frustrating development is that his slider has gone from a plus pitch that sat in the mid to high eighties to a poor looking pitch that hardly has any velo separation from his curveball. He’s also commanded his slider pitifully. How can he just lose shape and speed to that effect literally overnight? His curve has looked good, and at times his changeup has too. Thats about it….
  23. Sugarrayray
    That would be so dope if Rea outperformed Burnes tomorrow. I’d love to see Burnes have one of his mini temper tantrums.
  24. Sugarrayray
    This homeplate ump has been shamelessly helping the Brewers today.
  25. Sugarrayray
    They have both always been guys who sit in the mid to high nineties. They just need to get back up to their talent level to perform as expected. Ashby will get up to at least mid nineties soon as he is working his way back from injury. Hall has no excuse for throwing 91-93,94. He will not have success that way. Hopefully as the weather warms up he’ll gain a couple mph.
