    Game report sorry nothing to add about Uribe, didn't even know there was anything going on until after I got home. Crowd of 33k not bad for a Tuesday night, but based on the lines to get into the stadium you would have thought it was a playoff game and standing room only. No idea what the hold up was. It looked like they might have been using new metal detectors. I don't know if that was the problem. I will say they might as well get rid of them all together because it looked like everyone was getting waived through without having to put their keys or phones in the little plastic bins. If you can go through the metal detectors with that much metal and not set them off I'm sure you can sneak in a knife or a gun. It seemed like several brewers changed up their walk up songs, most notably Contreras and Bauer, but then later in the game it seemed they switched back. So no idea what's going on there. I'm not a big fan of the whole tarps off thing, but they are enthusiastic. In the 9th they were yelling several players names and the players gave them a wave. They did Mitchell, Frelick, Bauer, Chruio and even Rengifo. They actually had an announcement in the second inning that if you wanted to participate in that section you should head over to the miller lite landing. Will see how much legs this thing has. Nice to have a couple of studs at the top of the rotation. Best 1-2 punch since prime Burnes and woody? Or Grenke and Gallardo or CC and Sheets?

    I was a fan of his signing when it was announced. I thought he would be an excellent bounce back candidate. But I was wrong(and so was our front office). He's got a giant fork sticking out of him. He gives us nothing offensively or defensively. He is worse offensively than both Ortiz and Hamilton by pretty much every metric. He's also horrible on defense. He should have been credited with three errors in one inning tonight if not for a generous scoring decision and a tremendous play by at first by Vaughn. There is no baseball or financial reason to keep him around. So when should be be cut? Well, I wouldn't want a rookie to face the defending world champions. And the series against the cardinals would also seem to have a little more importance to give a rookie his first taste of the bigs. However after the Cards series there is a Thursday off day followed by a short 3 game road trip in Houston before a 4 game homestand against the giants. Neither of those teams are playing great baseball so that would be a good stretch to get a rookie's feet wet. In fact after that the play Colorado and the A's. 4 series against average at best before they play some tougher competition. So I'm hoping Rengifo is DFA's Thursday May 28th. Nothing against the guy but he just can't play.

    Dynamite drop in Monty.

    Fangraphs did a deep dive into this a while ago. The video evidence seemed to indicate that Arraez was getting big credits for only slightly above average plays, except for one that seemed to be a legitimately good play. So while his defense appears to be overstated the early results are that he has improved defensively from previous years.
  5. AdvantageSchneider
    That was before the game tonight when he struck out 2 more times in 4 plate appearances. That's not going to get it done.

    That doesn't seem to explain why Lara's slug and Iso and HR totals are so much better than Ewings. Launch angle is nice and all but at some point results matter. Ewing did have a very nice debut tonight.
  7. AdvantageSchneider
    I'll grant you that Ewing has a better launch angle over 41 at bats but Lara's EV appears to be a bit better. Lara has 7 HR Ewing has 0. It's hard to make an argument that Ewing's contact has been all that much better than Lara given the results.
  8. AdvantageSchneider
    I'm curious what numbers do you think are better? Ewing is walking as much as striking out while Lara is walking more than k'ing. Lara's isolated power is .085 higher than Ewing. They have about the same number of stolen bases if you include Ewing's AA steals. Lara's wRC in AAA is 147, Ewing is 118. Based only on AAA numbers Lara looks better IMO.
  9. AdvantageSchneider
    Mets calling up their #2 prospect AJ Ewing. Ewing is 3 months shy of 22 years old and has only 51 plate appearances in AAA but he's getting the call to the bigs with the Mets scuffling and Luis Robert hurt. Interesting to see how he performs. Luis Lara is 4 months younger and has 110 more at bats than Ewing does at AAA. They have similar AAA numbers.

    He will be in his second arbitration year. According to our AI overlords Arby 2 relief pitchers average between $1.5 to $4M. Is that worth giving a roster spot and that kind of salary to a relief pitcher that might only be able to pitch 3-4 months of a season? Especially considering how good we've been at turning scrap heap relievers into serviceable pitchers. I'm thinking Zerpa might be released at the end of the season.

    infield prospect Luis Peña is scheduled to meet with a neurologist on May 4 in the wake of a scary incident that occurred last week in Fort Wayne, Indiana. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2026/05/01/milwaukee-brewers-infield-prospect-luis-pena-to-meet-with-neurologist-after-collapsing-at-game/89898820007/ Probably a good idea to take it slow. Hopefully nothing serious.

    Pratt has a sub .700 OPS for the year and his hot streak over the last week has a 725 OPS. Oritz had a 885 OPS in his last year in AAA. There's no reason to bring up Pratt until you have some belief that he is at least as good a hitter as Ortiz was in AAA. Given Pratt's small number of AAA at bats and his lack of production no one would be bothering to talk about bringing him up if it wasn't for the contract.

    The game started at 6:30 and the temperature per the box score was 71 degrees. How do you overheat in those conditions? I assume they are going to have to do some medical tests before they let him back on the field because that doesn't sound right.
  14. AdvantageSchneider
    You shouldn't trade Peralta because there really isn't anyone on the staff other than Priester that you can trust to eat a ton of innings next year. Last year they were the best team in baseball when they had Peralta, Woody and Preister 1-3 in the rotation. Then Woody goes down and the pitching staff was not the same in the playoffs, although they weren't horrible. Plus how many prospects do you really need? We already let some decent guys go in the rule 5 draft compared to other teams. I know we are going to need to replenish the supply when Contreras and Turang leave but we've are pretty stacked. This is the time to run it out and take the comp pick.

    The NL central odds haven't changed yet at least at the Poto sportbook. Cubs and Brewers both still at +225.
  16. AdvantageSchneider
    Maybe, on the other hand how much lower would the figures be if his counting stats were even lower due to decreased playing time. I'll say this I don't know if I posted this here but I did not think it was a good decision to decline his option. Clearly saving $2 to $3.5M was worth it. Trust in Arnold above all else.
  17. AdvantageSchneider
    I don't remember too many bad sends for Lane. Some guys may have been thrown out but I don't remember them being dead ducks like other teams. Braves and D-backs replaced their coaches mid-season.

    Highest AAV for a free agent in Pirates history.

    You ever go into a sports car dealership and loudly proclaim you are willing to pay $15k for their best car? I think you'd get laughed out of the place. That's what the pirates just did.

    Big money for some, pocket change for the Dodgers.
  22. AdvantageSchneider
    The Brewers could still opt to offer Woodruff a qualifying offer of $22M right? That wouldn't impact his $10M buyout does it? So if they were to offer him and he accepted they would theoretically be paying him $32M next year to pitch?
  23. AdvantageSchneider
    Game ends with Kirk being thrown out from RF. 9-3 on your scorecard. I've seen that play a few times before but usually it was a pitcher batting and it was usually a closer play than that. Don't think I've ever seen a guy thrown out by what appears to be 2 steps.

    One of the tragedies of the last years wild card game was that the masterful job Murphy did in managing the bullpen against the mets was totally forgotten due to the Williams blow up. The top 3 hitters in the Mets lineup faced Tobias twice, Megil and then fatefully Williams. A lot of other managers just would have gone the traditional route with the setup/closer and had Megil pitch the 8th inning. Instead Murphy brought him in the 6th to face the top of the Mets order and had Peralta pitch the 8th against the bottom of the Mets order. I was holding my breath when Murphy brought Freddie in, but it worked. It really was a great job managing a playoff game, even with Williams blowing it. I think he's done the same thing ever since Megil has gone on the DL. Based just on stuff Uribe should be the closer but Murphy seems to be slotting him in against the other teams best hitters in the late innings. Doesn't matter if that is the 8th or 9th. So he's forgone the prototypical setup/closer roles with Koening and Uribe. No manager is perfect. I'm comfortable with Murphy.

    It probably depends on the matchup for Hoskins. If the team they play has a lefty starter that Yeli has struggled against I can see a case for including Hoskins as a DH.
