    Seems like an extremely low price to get two potential rotation pieces. If even one can go 4 or 5 IP and give up 2 or 3 runs 7 to 10 times this year, it’s a net win.

    Love the extension for Miz talks….sure would be nice if a small market like us could extend him thru say, like 2031. Oh, that’s right, we have him thru 2031 under this CBA, at least. If he throws out his arm and never pitches again, we are not on the hook for even next year. We have a pretty good situation how it is right now with Miz’s contract.

    Right. You are right in that you left out he bats left, ain’t that right?

    Williams could very well be playing backup 3B/SS in Milwaukee soon if healthy…..especially if they are dead set against bringing up Made or Fischer. I agree Jett is somewhat blocked by others for meaningful playing time long term. But not as much this year….pt is there for the taking apparently.

    He might be taking too many painkillers…..better watch that. Just makes sense. He was supposed to have two surgeries by now instead of one. I’m guessing he’s dealing with a fair amount of pain daily. And if Murph is going to make the pitching changes….meh, I might rethink that. If you are drudging to get up and make that walk to the mound each time it’s needed, there might come a time or two that your decision to leave a pitcher in is in some part influenced by your desire to not have to walk to the mound. Keeping Hook in that role might be better this year.

    I think Peña has been included in some of these mock trades because of three reasons…. 1. He is a top 100 prospect, and we know to get something of quality in the MLB rotation, we need to give up quality. 2. We are likely not trading other top prospects that have been extended (Lara, Pratt) or have super star potential (Made) 3. We see Peña as potentially not fitting a position here with several infield top prospects (Pratt, Made) or for not being defensively above avg at any one infield position, which seemingly is a priority with the Brewers.

    Play him regulary…..like 5 times a week.

    Brewers players are on a TEAM. It is a presupposition that each is going to try to his utmost to help the entire body do its best. Anything less than that should be news and of interest, especially to the manager who majors in this kind of thing...making sure all are pulling together, for each other, etc. This isn't hero ball or a clown show taking on dares. I liked Murphy not making a deal of it publicly. But you can bet it got his attention.
  9. rickh150
    I am guessing Murphy told Chourio not again after the game...yet just laughed it off to the press not to make a big thing out of it. I mean, as a manager, this could really get out of hand with young guys in a blowout. What would the next "dare" lead to? Very slippery slope. How about if he hit with his helmet backwards? Didn't run at all to 1B? Got a hit and kept running until he was tagged out. Young males can be extreme idiots we've all seen when egged on by peers if no apparent repercussion or fear of consequence is there.

    The throw by the first baseman...

    Doubles i meant

    Guessing Yelich bunts too..

    Perkins and Black are obvious guys to remove from 40 man if they so choose to bring up a Fischer/Made. Fischer is white hot now at a mlb weak position, and Made is the #1 prospect in baseball. It's not crazy to try either up, not that I expect this. The option is there to try it though and not be tied up trying to keep others on 40 man roster.
  14. rickh150
    Why not? Why put limits here? If Hamilton and Pratt get hurt, I think one is up.
  15. rickh150
    If he can help us this year, do it. At least try it. Worrying about 2033 rules and how that plays doesn't make sense to me. Especially if the next CBA runs for only 5 or 6 years. Who knows what the clock looks like or how much $ we have to sign anyone.
  16. rickh150
    With the situation we are in, meaning a great opportunity to get to the World Series, I try it now (or later this year). It is a small price to pay for a potential huge lift to the team. If he struggles, send him down.
  17. rickh150
    Not that fair considering Fischer's success with Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Limited at bats there, sure...but there would be worse ideas than bringing Fischer up for a few starts at 3B. He has been off the charts hot this season. Call it a basketball term of heat check. Keep shooting until you start missing. I wouldn't mind seeing how his 1st round pick bat would play here, especially if Hamilton is banged up anyway.
  18. rickh150
    If they are planning on trying out Sal or Vaughn at 3B, now is a unique time to try with Hamilton banged up a bit, a double header today with no days off this week, and a spark plug waiting for outfield at bats.
  19. rickh150
    Yeah...the decision has largely been taken away from the team, you'd think. Not gonna NOW. Wait til the offseason and who would trade quality prospects for a few months maybe of a top catcher? Perhaps a team or two. Maybe.
  20. rickh150
    Starting this early, but with the 2027 halfish maybe season near us and with Contreras pricing himself out of Milwaukee via FA, I wonder how we view him. Do we trade him NOW and reap a good haul for him? I shutter to think of the backlash that would happen in a year we have high hopes. We have learned from the Hader Trade, I think, but ironically that Trade brought us Contreras indirectly. How about this offseason? Then again, can we expect any type of good Trade in an offseason that could go mostly or even throughout 2027? Or is he like Adames? Keep up this year and next. Let's go for it. Lots of intangibles there.. not worth it's gold in a trade. I am probably in this camp. You thinks?

    Almost just want Henderson to wait until after All Star break to start a game for us....bullpen it a game or 2.
  22. rickh150
    Not sure what USA or Trump did wrong?? Asking to revisit/look at bad call again? Not first time a call has been changed between games.
  23. rickh150
    Will be interesting to see what Henderson does this week.
  24. rickh150
    If they try and succeed to extend Bauers NOW for 2 or 3 years, then I see Vaughn picked up and traded. I see Vaughn back next year. Absolutely. Well, then again they need to pony up 28 million to pay Woodruff. Maybe not.
  25. rickh150
    Huh and how?
