  • In case you havent noticed, since trading Hader, the Brewers have lost 5 of 6 to the Pirates and Reds. Unforseen consquences!

      So have the Padres (not to the pirates or reds but still)

      • Boy did he look bad last night — 37 pitches to get two outs. Of those one was a strikeout on a 3:2 pitch that was actually a ball. The other was a screaming liner that Profar made a terrific play on. He walked the bases full and blew a 3 run lead. Hopefully he turns around this mid season slump.

        • Yep

          I watched every painful moment of it

          • When do the Brewers call up (and play) Esteury Ruiz? I have to think he could be a spark plug for MIL. He’s not lighting it up in Nashville but he’s doing fine and stealing bases. Where does he likely fit in eventually for MIL? 2B? CF?

            Edit: they seem to be playing Ruiz in LF.

            Frelick is playing CF and absolutely killing it btw.

              Yes I could really use Ruiz.

                Same here. Still have him stashed on my bench. Stolen bases are non-existent on the waiver wire these days.

                • I heard there’s something in the current CBA that will prevent the Brewers from calling up Frelick until Aug 23 or so. Maybe that’s the deal with Ruiz too? Not sure. Hope someone here has insight.

                    I have Ruiz and Brujan stashed hoping for a late call up as I can make up 3-5 points in one league--enough to put me in 1st. I hope you all get your wishes....

                        I think the fantasy community is one year ahead on Ashby.

                          I'm not aware of that, though it could be true. Key issue is he's not on the 40-man roster, and I don't think he's eligible for the Rule 5 draft yet. Being the cynic I am, I suspect the Brewers will hold him back until May next year to eliminate Super 2 risk, too. Since Ruiz is on the 40-man and Turang has to be added this November, I think one or both are the two next guys brought up. I'd not be surprised if both of them and a pitcher are called up, and the Brewers jettison Davis.

                            whoa, look who's back!

                            Aug 23rd is actually the day that all players recalled still retain the "days on the roster" rookie eligibility for '23 -- which allows teams to still reap rewards for rookie awards next season, assuming they don't get 130 ABs or 50 IP.

                              Since Ruiz was up for San Diego earlier, I wonder if that changes the calculus for him. He’s running wild in AAA again.
