Does anyone know if the waiting period after being optioned still applies to September callups? Specifically, do Lockridge and McGee (and Gasser??) have to wait the 10/15 days before they can be up?
-
They do teach blocking, for breaking balls. Blocking fastballs, which you never expect to be in the dirt, and are faster than ever is and always has been extremely difficult. Sometimes picking is the only option .
-
I don’t think some appreciate how difficult it is to block a 100 mph fastball that bounces in front of the plate. You don’t even have enough time to drop down as a catcher. It’s luck based on those, and he unfortunately didn’t get lucky.
-
Would have to DFA him first. I’d bet he clears waivers, especially now that Boston has a left handed hitting first baseman in Lowe. Even if he doesn’t, who cares? He’s #3 behind Vaughn and Hoskins, it would take a lot to need to him again.

Peralta’s Realistic CY Young Opportunity
DonBarclay replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
1. Make 7 more starts, win them all. End season 22-5. Have most Wins in MLB 2. Not allow a run over those 7 starts, with at least 42 innings. ERA ends at 2.14. Win ERA title. 3. 46+ K’s, to clear 200 That should do it. So, .00000001% chance. -
1. Going to extras makes pulling Tobias that much worse, he could’ve gone 5 if needed. 2. Just let Grant go. We win or lose with him out there today. Send him down tonight for a fresh arm.

Teams can also designate players as two-way players -- players who are both position players and pitchers -- if they meet certain criteria. Two-way players are able to pitch in any situation but don't count toward the active roster's pitcher total. Players qualify for the two-way player designation if they have met both of the following conditions in either the current MLB season or any of the two previous seasons: • Pitched at least 20 Major League innings • Started at least 20 Major League games as a position player or designated hitter, with at least three plate appearances in each of those games
-
MLB changed the rules a few years ago. A position player can only pitch if you’re down 8 runs any time in the game, or up 10 runs in the 9th. Also, 6 is still too close. Give up two runners and you have to get your closer up. Better to throw a real pitcher and try to ensure your closer rest.
-
Tack on a few more and get Seigler up in the ‘pen, it’s time.
-
.672 with plus defense and baserunning doesn’t exactly scream “bench for Seigler”
-
Did Durbin do something to get in the doghouse?
-
Luckily would only need to do this one more time before you get the free extra pitcher in September.
-
This is actually big for the bullpen too. Option Henderson after the game, bring up an extra bullpen arm until you need another start and line up Patrick for that one, then repeat until Miz’s next turn.
-
Easton McGee was one more hit with RISP or just a Murphy decision to use Seigler away from a good 1 inning outing and staying in the pen. Now he’ll be sent down or DFA’d. Tough life being the last guy in the bullpen.
-
That’s been a lot less common since MLB cracked down on Eppler
-
Myers can’t come back yet unless they put someone on the IL.
-
Have to think he’s getting sent down tomorrow after these walks and 40 pitches or whatever he will end up with
-
One more crooked number from perhaps finding out for sure.
-
When it was 9-2 with the bases loaded I was having dreams of a 15 run lead and a position player pitching. With no Bauers, I believe they currently have zero career appearances amongst the position player group. Anybody know who would be the guy at this point?
-
I know it’s not as common for baseball as it is say basketball, but this seems like a perfect 3 team trade opportunity. Brewers send veteran MLB pitchers to a big market contender, big market contender sends prospects to AZ, AZ sends Suarez to Milwaukee.
-
At what point do you consider sending Ortiz down for two weeks to find his swing? Give Mona and Seigler some run. Turang gets some games at SS, Durbin at 2B. He’s so lost with identifying pitches to swing at right now, and has zero confidence.
-
With this leaking before the pick, is there any chance the Brewers could be working on trading Smith instead of allowing him to be selected? If he’s going 1st overall in the Rule 5, you’d have to think they could get greater than the $100k they’d get from the White Sox in a trade, especially given that the acquiring team then doesn’t have to have him in the majors for the full season.
