    As my family probably gets tired of hearing me say…. LETS GO HITTERS

    This situation is exactly why i’ll never be comfortable thinking of Freddy as an ace

    Wonder if Perk’s head is right after a death in the family. My wife commented before his leave that he looked depressed.. I told her he’s an even keel type guy. When the bereavement leave happened, she gave me a “told ya so”. He still looks down a bit.

    Anybody catch Dillard‘s reaction when BA opened the umbrella unexpectedly hilarious

    Except for his little bit of additional power, Jansen seemed like an odd pickup. Hoping they get a big hero pop or two out of him in some critical moments down the stretch or playoffs

    Love the road navy blues. That would be the home uni if I had any say on the matter

    Nothing wrong with a 15 pitch first inning

    I have too many life responsibilities to get mired in all the stats, data, metrics, so I trust the broadcast team has some clue. The other aspect is accuracy of course. Maybe the numbers show he's better there. With his speed, Pete Rose like tenacity, and penchant for making big defensive plays, he does seem like more of a logical fit in CF to me too. Murph must know something we don't.

    The broadcast guys say Frelick has the strongest arm, That tool is valued in RF to make the longer throws.

    It’s nearly impossible to judge such a thing.

    There is zero reason at the moment to rush him back. Everybody knows hammys are tricky.

    yeah, crazy... that was essentially how I viewed him last year as well. A decent bottom of the roster guy with potential to contribute. I liked Hicklen too actually, but he shot himself in the foot with a boneheaded baserunning error, which I recall, opened the opportunity for the guy I call Ice. He's a humble, midwestern man playing for a blue collar team. Likability is off the charts.

    As things stand today, I'd think they would go with Woodruff for the obvious reasons already stated, primarily, Freddie struggling to get through 5-6 innings consistently.

    Having only just started following the affiliates this spring, I don't know these things... is there a typical, somewhat predictable timeframe or window for minor league promotions? My thought was to come back to Appleton next year and catch Pena, Made, Dinges before they get bumped up. Any chance that happens over the winter instead? Wondering if I should make an other trek before the end of the month. My hunch is they all start the year out in High-A next season, and some will promote faster than others depending on who is up above them. Does Made bump up if Pratt doesn't etc? Or perhaps surpass him?

    Yeah, I'm in the rural hinterlands as well, just WI rather than west / coastal region. Those little strips of patches look like band aids, but they get the job done. As a fiscally frugal person, I appreciate the stretching of the product before dealing with replacement costs LOL.

    Dang.. .has to be an afternoon game. I'll have to remain sequestered from social media until after work when I can watch the replay on MLB

    From our recent first trip there, the stadium appears to be in an outer city limits development area. With lots of road construction going on, our trip from the hotel to the ballpark detours seemed to take us in a giant rectangle of roundabouts and right turns, some of which took us past corn fields as well as quiet industrial parks. Those roads get upgraded when they handle a relevant amount of traffic to justify the cost. Appleton reminds me of Eau Claire somewhat.

    Was just there a couple weeks ago to catch Burke before he got promoted. Can't wait to come back and see Pena and Made, maybe even Dinges and Letson. Several hours drive, so it's going to have to wait until next year, hoping / assuming they start '26 in Appleton.

    This is my first year of having access to the minor league affiliates, so I didn't know what the standard was. Didn't take long to get annoyed with the poor quality broadcast production for Biloxi, but I wasn't sure if that was the norm for higher levels to have lower quality. Biloxi was my primary interest the first few months, but it was hard to watch with video delay always being a tick behind the audio.

    And to think Chourio and Hoskins will be available in a couple weeks. Hopefully, that's it with the injury bug so they can hit the stretch run and playoffs at full strength. That's a pretty damn complete team. Myself and others have said before... it will take a special alignment of the (baseball) planets for the Brewers to get to and possibly win a championship. Some of those factors included: Young talent breaking out, having career years. They have that in spades at the moment. Low key, affordable acquisitions producing far more than could fairly be expected. Yep, getting that too. Core young veterans taking a step up. I'd say Frelick, Turang check those boxes off. Baseball is a funny game of streaks and momentum as we all know. Usually, we small market fans cling to that in the "just get in the tourney, and anything can happen" meaning... upsets can and do happen. Oddly, this year, I'm tentatively viewing that in the reverse. I don't want to hope for upsets, because MIL could be going in as the targets for an upset instead of the other way around as we are more accustumed to. Funny game indeed.
  24. Turning2
    Just was. I hope to return early next year to catch these two up and comers.

    A radio/pod host I listen to warned many years ago that AI will reach a point where we won't know what to believe anymore from any news source, rumor, accusation etc. We're getting there. It begins with innocuous, amusing subject matter like sports or pop culture related stuff to normalize it.
