I'm already planning a trip to Appleton next year to see those "two other guys".
-
I'm wondering about average attendance. I went for the first time last Friday. Watching on TV, it looks like there are always plenty of seats available. Walking up, all they had was grass seating left minutes before first pitch. Over 6000 announced. It was a special event night, so does that explain it, or do they always sell that well?
-
Wilken and Adams were listed as 7 day IL around June 20-23. Still listed as 7 day IL. What is the point of listing it with a range of days if it's largely meaningless info? Aggravating. 8-10 week recovery for Wilken is basically season ending, but I haven't seen anything officially saying so.
-
I wasn't expecting anything more than Nashville for Wilken and Adams by years end.
-
Agreed, it's a gamble. Suarez could come in at a high cost of resources and flop miserably. If they would take Payne, Gasser and Boeve or Quintana, I think you have a heart attack racing to make that trade. (And I like all those players). You could start with that offer, but with deep pockets also in the mix, the ante is probably going to be raised.
-
Maybe not preferable, but with the competition for Suarez, it's going to be costly. It's natural to want to rank prospects, but it's no guarantee they measure up to expectations. Not saying this is the trade I want, but just that it might take something on that level, pain for the gain.

Any talk of trading a prospect capable of slugging 25-30+HRs annually should be illegal. MIL is dying of thirst for a home grown power bat. Wilken K's a lot, but if you think he can hit. 225ish with 35 HRs, you don't trade that away. If they went hot for Suarez, maybe Meyers, either Made or Pena, and Black. AZ gets major league ready / experienced, controllable SP, a top SS prospect and guy who needs a chance to latch on with someone at the top level. I like Black, but he just doesn't have a position in MIL. AZ might give him a shot at 1B if Naylor is gone after '25 or traded at the deadline. The mention of Made might seem odd after my thoughts on Wilken, but he's years away from MIL. He could always wash out yet. Plus they would still have Pratt and Pena.

Thanks for the tips. The stadium resource article was helpful too.

Are the Brewers as good as their MLB-leading record?
Turning2 replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It depends on the mental makeup of the player. No metric can measure that. Certainly, playoff experience can be helpful or overrated depending on the player. Overall, I think younger players are less intimidated by the big stage than they used to be. I also think this bears out across society. Our culture has changed for better or worse. People used to have stage fright. People used to have a personal filter, an inhibition. Now, the most tone deaf, untalented hacks have no qualms about embarrassing themselves in front of 50 strangers singing karoake very badly and regarding their own performance as pretty good. In a narcissistic environment where everybody can have a social media platform to assuage their egos, younger people aren't afraid of the spotlight. It does not surprise me in the least when wet behind the ears ball players hit the big leagues in stride with some immediate success. Others still melt from the pressure though. It's a case by case situation in my view. -

It's delicious when the Brewers play well enough to force MLB and its cottage industry to talk about its version of a "fly over land" team. Jomboy media overall gives them a little lip service, but the other show with Plouffe and Rose could do better. It's also should be noted that they are saying things indirectly which echoes my opinion about what matters in evaluating players ... and more importantly... what is overrated. That is a subject for a thread all itself, but it ruffles too many feathers. -
Just wish we had a bigger sample size on Vaughn. They definitely need more from 1B, and no way to know what we're going to get when Hosk is back. Vaughn has been pretty good, but will it last? All in all, I l like the idea of bringing in O'Hearn.

Never say never, but moving Turang at this point seems pretty unlikely regardless of his past experience at SS. A popular argument against making major trade changes is upsetting the chemistry of the team. That doesn't only apply to the roster makeup, but to the positional lineup as well. Turang at SS would now have to get a feel for how the guy on both his left and his right are going to react to certain balls. A split second of uncertainty can cause issues sometimes.

Yeah nutso, laughable and a bunch of other things besides. My eyes tell me all I need to know about Ortiz' defensive chops.

Give me an old school coach like Murphy any day, every day, all day. -
My guess... Chourio and Frelick will play just about every day, and they'll juggle Collins and Perk primarily. Maybe give Yelli or Black/Bauers an odd day in LF to give Chourio a spell.

They are good enough, and things are clicking just right for the time being that it’s challenging to say no to the general poll question. My gut tells me they are overachieving a little though. Feels like they still need to add a power bat while they can. No ideal way to fit one in though. I do wonder if Vaughn is going to remain consistently productive at the plate, or if Naylor might be a consideration. I think we can scratch Suarez off the list as probably too cost prohibitive. -
Hands off Wilken. Brewers finally have a big slug bat in development who could be their Devers, Suarez of the near future. Don’t go trading a guy like that.
-
Might be catching a T-Rats game for the first time in a couple weeks. Seems like every time I catch a few innings on TV, they're playing the Kernels
-
That question had been asked elsewhere on social media. Nobody had a solid answer or mentioned the bullpen, but yeah, that might be it.
-
As shown in the Chourio photo, who are they pointing at? Why do the players always point towards centerfield when rounding 2nd on HRs? Are they watching themselves on the big screen and pointing to themselves?
-
Has there been any more recent injury update on Wilken beyond what has been shared in this thread? Adams too for that matter.
-
Wouldn't require a trade, but I wonder if they might consider bringing up Dalbec to bolster the OF and add some potential thump. His MLB numbers haven't been great, but he's swinging a good bat in Nash.
-
Fine. Counter perspective / opinion / viewpoint whatever... Just because people say stuff doesn't mean it's true or possibly stretching the truth. I could explain how this might have applied in this case, but it's really not worth the energy. This thread has rabbit trailed enough already.

That's funny. I've been posting on forums for decades. Never been labelled as a troll before. No, I might be a contrarian with my own ideas rather than a go along to get along type, but I'm not a troll. I'm not the one engaging in personal attacks. I didn't blow off "smarter responses", I offered counters to some of them, don't have time to engage everybody. I've been respectful in offering my opinions. Can't say I've received the same from some here. Regardless, I'm here to talk about the Brewers, not waste my time defending against ad hominem pissing matches.

Saw some speculation about Garcia being a possible MIL target a few days ago.
