Time to talk BREWERS!!!!

Yeah I know baseball is ruined and ther Brewerw are almost as severly hampered by Princess Prieb as they are the lack of revenue sharing, but Im still excited. I am probably crazy but I think the Crew should be .500 this year and if Sheets, Wright, Quevedo, and Nuegebaur pitch up to their potential and we dont swing at everything, I think the crew can win 90 and be in the wild card race late, which is something we havent seen in a long, long time. They must finish over .500 to avoid 10 years straight of losing seasons. I think it is time for a coup to remove Princess Prieb.

GT-   I do agree with everyone about the comments on Turang. I know Murphy sat him because lefties have been going for the Marlins but I would still have him on the field.

Concerning the comments about Churio and "playing the best nine", I would still look at it differently.  Turang had a good start to the season in 2023 but really was a liability at the plate the last 2-3 months (hitting under .200). He was not one of the "best nine" guys the second half of the season but the Brewers stuck with him and he received a lot of valuable experiences and "at-bats". Look how that patience is paying off in 2024. You want another example look at Bobbi Whit Jr. for the Royals. He had some tough times in 2022 when the Royals bought him up but they stuck with him all of 2022. He made a big jump in 2023 and this year he looks like a bona-fide All-Star who might be a MVP someday.  Churio needs to be on the field (imo) and yes there will be growing pains.  

This team is young and we are not serious contenders with our pitching staff. Have you seen the Braves team .or.. the Dodgers (best team money can buy  ). heck the Phillies are playing better than anyone. Never thought we would be in 1st place for a week this year much less for most of April/May. I am still looking at this team more for "the future" and just want to see the young guys get playing time/experience.     

Pat sat Turang and Bauers for the entire series because the Fish had 3 lefties starting.  Left with Monasterio and Owen flippin' Miller starting.  We complain about Weimer on the big-boy club, Miller is no better.  He had that hot start last year, and that was IT.  Bauers has the third best OPS in the NL in the last month and Turang has been playing well.  Sit two of your hottest hitters for an entire series against an inferior team and lose the series.  Very, very disappointing.   

I too miffed by keeping a good hitting, base stealing, good fielding team leader on bench!
Turang a sparkplug that we need out there! 
What about Churio? He’s the one to bench awhile. Can’t do anything but take first pitch, foul off second, and strikeout on third or fourth. His fielding always an adventure as well.
Understand he is young, but play your best nine!

4 stinking hits 4

Monasterio led off tonight.  But about that, you sit Turang 3 days in a row, when he is hitting over .300. WHY??? Thought this analytical crap left with Counsell, but obviously not. Don't wonder why you don't win when you don't play your best players. Just frustrating!

Tough lose. 

The YELICH lead off experiment again?   Won’t they learn that he does not do well there?

The Goose strikes out the side for the save! 
Now c’mon Braves , beat the ciubs

Nice comeback win, shouldn't have allowed it to slip away

2 runners thrown out at home already.  First one no business going on a ball hit back to the pitcher. 

Understand the comments/concerns about Mitchell and his injuries but it is not like he is constantly pulling hamstings etc.  Couple of freak injuries have shelved him the last 2 years. Look at his skill set and production. Limited sample size, but he has a .278 avg and even more importantly an OPS just shy of .800. Assume you remember some of the plays he has made in the field.. He has a plus arm and great speed. Like most young guys needs to cut down on his strikeouts but he has shown real promise.  He had a really good spring and I am looking forward to his return.

I would say the same thing about Chourio. He has been clocked at even a faster rate going to 1st base than De La Cruz. Has shown that great bat speed and power. Certainly agree he needs some work in the outfield . However the athletic skills are off the chart .. Just look at what happened to Jackson Holliday/Orioles. #1 rated player in the minors the last 2 years and just was tearing the cover off the ball. Every pundit/talking head has him as a can't miss guy. Orioles called him up and he struck in 18 of his 35 plate appearances and really struggled. Orioles have him back down at triple-A.. Some young guys just need time to develop. Case in point Turang with his bat. Brewers were patient with Turang and it is paying off.  

An insider told me the Crew is building up right now. Sometime in the near future they will explode like a shook-up beer! They told me it would be around May 27.   

I'm glad I am not a loner on Wiemer and Chourio. Wiemer needs to talk to Turang. Turang turned his offense around since last year. Chourio has stopped on a few balls hit his way this year. I hope somebody pulls him to the side and gets his mind right. I am just glad of all the wins with the team we have. Pitching depth has been great. Could CC get the play out of the players like Murphy has? I just pray they keep it up and beat the cubs.  

I think that brews is saying that's what he profiles as fully developed, not what he is right now. 

He’s FAR from being a .230 hitter!   More like .130.   I’d be happy with a .230 ave.
