  1. Yelich is going to be walked a lot more if he continues to be followed with 3 ABs like that.
  2. Upside is great when you're a 68 win team with no expectations and can experiment on the fly. But when you're a hopeful contender who missed the WS by 1 game, you can't just have a white flag starter 20% of the time. And sending a guy to AAA to work on things is not giving up on him.
  3. Is the current Chris Hook different than the Chris Hook that worked with these guys for years in the minors, where they saw large degrees of success? Hook isn't the reason Burnes and Peralta are missing their spots. Trouble is having to make adjustments against major league hitters is a completely different set of circumstances than assisting in their development in the minors. I'm not saying Hook is the problem, it's too early to tell, but you can be good at developing a young prospect pitcher and still not necessarily be a good MLB pitching coach. We'll see. His career as a MLB pitching coach is not off to a good start at all, obviously.
  4. I love Burnes, but we are too good of a team to keep trotting him out there every 5th day like this right now.
  5. Thames needs to be playing over Aguilar against RHP right now. Aguilar is just in his own head right now.
  6. True, that ball needs to be caught. That said, that last out by Carpenter was smoked and luck and positioning were definitely on our side there.
  7. They've got to be looking into if Burnes is tipping his pitches or something. It's gotten way beyond perplexing.
  8. I can't imagine there are too many pitchers in the modern baseball era that have given up double digit HRs by April 17th.
  9. Best player in baseball up against an AAA guy with the bases loaded and he fans on 3 pitches. Because, baseball.
  10. That is 100% my prediction as well. I mean, Wilkerson hasn't been bad, but Houser's been better, and has a lot more upside. It wouldn't have made any sense to call up Wilkerson now if they intended on starting him against the Dodgers in Freddy's spot. This way, he provides multi-inning coverage over the next few days, and can go back down for Houser Saturday. The more I think about it it does make sense. The Brewers wouldn't waste the roster space to call a guy up just to have him sit and do nothing until Saturday.
  11. If they needed a starter I figured it would be Houser. I'm going to make an off the wall prediction that Wilkerson is available for the next few days in long relief, and goes back down on the 19th or 20th for Houser who immediately comes and up and starts. Just a (probably incorrect) hunch.
  12. Fixed Woodruff can swing it. He's got a career .985 OPS, which is nuts though obviously a small sample, but even when you figure in his minor league batting he's about .700.
  13. Yeah, I don't really know if they could care less, but I very much doubt they are making trades based on a 13 AB sample from a backup catcher.
  14. I think Grandal should be the #3 hitter for the time being. Moose #4. Beyond that, doesn't really matter.
  15. Umm. The Warriors blew a 31 point 3rd quarter lead at home against the Clippers? Wow.
  16. My guess is that they want to keep him stretched out as a starter. Not much starter depth on the 40. Just him and Wilkerson. But yeah I wouldn't be opposed to it at all. They really, really miss having young power arms in the pen.
