I think that's pretty close, but I think Miley on Thursday and Gio on Friday, Chacin on Sunday, Zach on Monday. Davies was pretty shaky his last time out.So, Wade on Thursday, Zach on Friday, Chacin on Sunday, Gio on Monday, Wade again on Wednesday if needed? That sound about right? Chase and/or a bullpen day in there somewhere? I'm curious where Craig will go
This my guess as well.I think that's pretty close, but I think Miley on Thursday and Gio on Friday, Chacin on Sunday, Zach on Monday. Davies was pretty shaky his last time out.
This keeps Miley, and Gio on 4 days rest, and Chacin on 5
Yeah that order would make sense. I just worked backwards for the most part. Have to wonder if matchup (i.e. Cubs or Rockies) plays into it at all. But I think you have to carry 4 starters in case of injury. I'd be hard pressed to find a spot for Anderson now that I think about it more, but Davies should be there.This my guess as well.
Never paid too much attention to the roster cut during post season (mainly because the Brewers aren't usually involved), but I can't think of another team that relied more on the expanded roster. So many difficult decisions to make. Realistic that Thames and Anderson or Davies will be left off.
I agree with pretty much all of this and I think you're right at the bottom, leave Santana off for Williams or Peralta, but CC likes him some Williams and he hasn't pitched that badly in Sept. Toss in the fact they don't have an "Ace" and I think they carry an extra pitcher. I could see them going Johnny Wholestaff for at least one game too.Yeah that order would make sense.

One of Williams/Woodruff/Barnes/Peralta?
Would they leave off a Grandy or Santana for an extra reliever?

Well to be fair, 20 or so were no brainers. I whiffed on the last 5 or so not thinking they'd carry guys like Guerra/Peralta over Williams/CedenoGood call on the roster.
ETA, I just don't understand keeping Santana on this roster. He's garbage, rather kept a 12th pitcher or Thames
Yea, I just don't like Santana. He doesn't hustle and that rubs me the wrong way. He has been hot in Sept. though.strykerpks said:But to your point Santana has hit like .440 or something stupid as a pinch hitter in September and Thames hasn't hit the broad side of a barn. I'm more surprised at Broxton who has Corey Hart disease, though he plays good defense at all 3 OF positions and can be a SB threat.

Communication sent to @MillerCoors employees today explain that #MillerPark naming rights are coming to an end when current agreement expires in 2020. American Family Insurance will be the new naming rights sponsor of the home of the #Brewers. Press conference at 2PM today.

Yeah it will be odd. In the long run though people will call it what they want. I still call it the MECCA. BMO-Harris was still the Bradley Center. What the media and the team call it doesn't really matter to me.I'm oddly sad about this, not that I have any great love for the Miller-Coors company, but it is somewhat disappointing. "AmFam Park" doesn't have the same attachment to the city.
Thursday: Chacin
Friday: Peralta
Saturday: Woodruff
Sunday: Burnes
Loved that old place...stopping for some Helds brats on the way down to Milwaukee. Tailgating in the parking lot. Getting in for BP trying to get some baseball cards autographed. (going through some stuff ran into two of those cards...Teddy Higuera and Chris Bosio...oh yeah those have to be valuable, right?).Speaking of County Stadium, here's a pretty cool look behind the scenes right before it was torn down. A grounds crew member "got a day off" and took his family on a personal tour. It sure brought back some memories and I thought some of you olds would appreciate it.
To the DL....I mean ILJimmy Nelson's comeback is a work in progress
MehCan Brewers homers give a ruling on this picture: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_U82ADXsAAfCCm.jpg
It's the ball from Posey's game winning grand-slam.
Seems a bit traitorous-ish.
Eleventy millionJeffress is always good for at least one run.
How much is Yelich going to get for his next contract?
I hear ya. Go Stros!Bob Sacamano said:I wish you good fortune in the wars to come.
That's been the debate here locally the past few weeks. Hiura alone could bring a nice haul but I'm pretty sure he's untouchable. Ray, Dubon and a few others are all they haveFiveThirtyEight says the Brewers should be sellers, not buyers at the deadline.
I guess that makes sense from a purely analytical standpoint but the franchise's historical lack of playoff success and a small market team's desperation to maximize their Yelich window are outside of their model.
I'm hoping for the best but I don't know if there are enough prospects left to patch all the holes in this pitching staff.
Crazy idea, but Shaw has a bit better track record so he could conceivably be a piece to deal as well if someone thinks a change of scenery could do some goodAfter tonight they are one game back behind the Cardinals and tied with the Cubbies. Finally starting to play better as of late. They are buyers. Not sure if they have enough to be players for the big name starters but they could fill a bullpen role or two. I expect Aguilar to be on the block with the return of Shaw.
Yeah I thought of that as well. He was hot down in AAA ball. Was hoping he could continue it with his return but it doesn't seem to be yet. He could have a bigger market than Aguilar. I think Aguilar is under control until 2022 though so he could be more valuable to a team, including the Brewers.Crazy idea, but Shaw has a bit better track record so he could conceivably be a piece to deal as well if someone thinks a change of scenery could do some good
If Yelich had thrown to the right base in game one, it would have been a sweep.3/4 from the stupid Cubs is fine.
Yup. Bonehead play. But I would change "would" to "could". Hader likely comes in at some point and that changes the rest of the series.If Yelich had thrown to the right base in game one, it would have been a sweep.
