Pretty sure he didn’t check his swing on the previous pitch, either. Wish they would have showed it.
-
Am I the only one who thought Andujar hit that about 450 feet?
-
Not disagreeing that this happened, but trying to understand it. Isn’t Collins a very high end leftfielder defensively?
-
Bucks sign Amir Coffey. Sneaky good deal. That’s as solid of bench depth as you’ll find for that price at this time of year.

The Brewers aren’t particularly top heavy, which makes them very well equipped to handle injuries. There isn’t one guy who you lose that throws the machine totally out of whack, unlike other teams that rely heavily on a couple superstars. That makes this Brewer team quite a bit different than their best teams from years past. I think a good way to answer this question is to ask, whose absence would be most harmful? I can’t say Yelich — since he doesn’t really contribute in the field, we’re only talking about his bat. His ABs if the roster was fully healthy would be mostly absorbed by Hoskins with probably minimal difference. Can’t really say any of the outfielders because of the depth there. Obviously, you start losing a couple and it hurts, but it’s why we haven’t missed a beat without Chourio. That’s why I went with Contreras, then Turang. Jansen is adequate, but I don’t know how much effect Contreras missing would have on the pitching staff, and I’d rather not find out. Come to think of it, by this criteria, Megill should probably get more consideration than he gets. It would potentially hurt a lot to lose him.
-
If you give Chourio, Yelich, Frelick, and Collins each a day off every 8 games, you can work Perkins into the lineup half the time. I think that’s a ballpark of what I’d go with. Seigler is probably going to continue a soft platoon with Durbin. Monasterio, Hoskins, Lockridge and Jansen are going to get scraps. I kind of forgot Jake Bauers existed. I think he actually might be a DFA candidate when healthy because I just don’t know where you put him and who you take out for him.
-
True, but Miz would only need to finish top 2 in ROTY voting to qualify for the full service year. If Collins weren’t having a breakout rookie season, Miz would have a much clearer path to top 2.
-
The Dodgers are definitely dangerous, you’d like to think we would have some confidence going into that one being 6-0 against them in the season, but we know how dangerous they are when they’re right and healthy. They’re the defending champs for a reason. The Cubs — I don’t know. The home field advantage thing would suck, but it’s just always been that way. Would be a crushing series to lose, but it’d be just as sweet on the other side to end their season. I think you could make pretty legitimate arguments that the Mets and Padres aren’t very desirable opponents, either. I guess my summation is that nothing has gone our way since 2018, no matter the opponent or matchup, so it’s time to just let the chips fall where they may and get the job done regardless of the opponent. Start by locking up that top 2 seed and go from there.
-
Dodgers versus Cubs is a pretty interesting potential WC matchup. Interesting mostly because one of them would be going home early.
-
But his emergence ironically may cost Miz a service year. Unfortunate for Miz, not unfortunate for the Brewers.

Peralta’s Realistic CY Young Opportunity
adambr2 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We literally go from discussing if we even trust Peralta to start a playoff game to discussing his Cy Young chances within the span of one calendar week. To echo others, Peralta isn’t a legit contender — probably borderline top 5, but he’s underappreciated. I should disclaim that by saying “right now” because there’s still time for him to go on a crazy tear. Isaac Collins wasn’t a legit ROTY contender until he was. -
I mean it’s so rare that it happens. But it’s just about the sweet spot for him, right about where the QO is, so, maybe. The only time I can think of where that happened is Aramis Ramirez. Come to think about it, he gets the 10M buyout if he doesn’t pick it up, so no, he’ll decline. He can do better than 1/10 in free agency.
-
He looked pretty brutal last start. But he’s looked really good coming out of the pen a couple times.
-
As one of those, I will definitely give credit where it is due. I mentioned a few weeks ago that this team is not where it is just on the moves they’ve made, but the moves they didn’t make. If a lot of us had our way the last 5-10 years around the trade deadline, this roster would look a lot different right now (and a lot inferior).
-
Thats embarrassing. A drunk armchair Wisconsinite sitting on their recliner at home could hit 82%.
-
So there are actually many different tiers lower than the umpires we usually get. That’s troubling.
-
It’s sad but it can almost be true on any given night. The good thing is that 5 years from now, they won’t be calling the balls and strikes.
-
Huge insurance runs by Bill.
-
Good thing that they have you here to point it out to them EVERY time it happens in an IGT.
-
Again, I don’t literally mean he shouldn’t pitch the rest of the season and that Seigler is a better pitcher than him. It’s just standard IGT embellishment. But I get that it may have came off that way over the net.
-
I was embellishing, I don’t literally mean he shouldn’t pitch the rest of the season. But I wouldn’t be trusting him in anything but low leverage spots for awhile.
-
That was not “rough”. He damn near blew a 6 run lead single-handedly.
-
Outside corner has been a strike all damn day, even inches off the zone, and now blue decides the actual corner isn’t a strike. I hate MLB umpires.
-
I’d rather see Seigler pitch again than another Shelby Miller inning.
-
So maybe Shelby Miller is not going to be a hero for this pen.
