Regarding Frelick - I could see a move up to Nashville soon but the Brewers don’t promote prospects from AA to the big leagues. Would be fun but not happening.
Really excited to see what Mitchell is doing since his return from injury. Hopefully he can keep it going and stay healthy. Frelick just keeps hitting.
Our big offensive prospects have been struggling a bit lately - Wiemer, Valerio, Chourio, etc. Mitchell is nowhere to be found. Turang has been fairly consistent all year in Nashville but has hit for virtually no power.
Tough day for Chourio - 0-5 with three strikeouts. You don’t see too many days like that for him. On the bright side, Hedbert continues to stay hot with the bat.
And now he has two homers a double and 8 RBI’s on the night. Arguably his best game as a professional. Biloxi absolutely pouring it on tonight offensively.
Chourio continues to impress with a four hit day. Speaking of impressive, I wonder if Tyler Black is knocking on the door of a promotion to Biloxi. He’s had a real nice season so far.
I know Snell hasn’t been very good this year so far, but Burnes will have little to no margin for error tonight. Between the injuries and the fact that we’re facing a lefty, we’ll be lucky to score more than a couple runs if we’re lucky.
Two big gripes:
1. I absolutely hate playing the Braves. Always have.
2. Our issues against LH pitchers is almost comical at this point. If you are an opposing manager, why wouldn’t you just toss out every single lefty you have?
