Need to go back to Fridays game for the bigger picture. Look at his final 3 ABs.

Yeah, I'm just not much into taking coach speak so literally I guess. Murphy routinely talks his guys up, and this is more of a way to show how tough Contreras is than it is that they literally wouldn't do it because Contreras wouldn't allow it IMO. I also expect Contreras to be better moving forward.

Lost me at they could afford to replace him with Haase and Alfaro. I have a sneaky suspicion the lore of Eric Haase would dimmer quite significantly if he was the Brewers regular C.

Can't help but feel like there's some contradiction here. The point of the article appears to be that there's no top of the rotation ceiling for Hall if he has to rely on secondary pitches with an average FB. Yet in the same article lists Halls numbers post IL as a bulk pitcher that are absolutely top of the rotation numbers with said profile.
