should have left Montero in Toledo

perfect spot for a hung changeup.

You're not understanding me,. When Colt plays why not him 2B, and Torres DH like it is today?

Again, lefty-righty. Not my calculations, but AJ's. That formula seems to prevail over all others. Colt has been the odd man out in terms of execution as well.

I'm talking about when a RH is pitching and they auto DH Keith instead playing in the field. Nothing to do with lefty right matchups

I can't remember, who is the worst 2B in MLB? Is it Keith or Torres?

That's my point except I don't think a 23 year old should be FT DH.

Have you not seen him play 2B? Chuck Knoblauch is more mentally sound than him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least are other pitchers are getting rest, lol.

so far this year, he shouldn't be in the field or play DH. He needs to go to Toledo and get his head straight.

And Torres is Bobby Grich

Then you might as well send Greene there. And take a few others with him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

We need some bombs.

Look at Toledo .. who are we calling up ? They are 5-11 and only a few are hitting . Maybe Jung. Lee played 3rd last night and had a good game.

I know that but so far this season Keith, Greene - I don't see a difference offensively. Though at least Keith hits the ball occasional. So why suggest to send Keith but not Greene.

Greene has a track record of being a average + to good hitter. Plus, he is good at defense. Keith has no track record of being a plus hitter and a track record of being a poor defender. Given his age, lack of MLB experience, and the fact that they have a suitable replacement, I would send him down.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Does Javy have any HR power anymore?

What do you expect when he got no snaps (so to speak) at 2B this off-season or ST. Lots of players improve in D. They just never gave him a chance. And then they want him to be a good defensive 1B right away.

Brewers 4th
K’s
4-3
4-3

Top 5th trail 4-0

Just a frustrating series since the 9-1 win for Skubal
