Bill Hall Rehab Start

[sundevil1]

So I decided to sit out in the good ol Arizona heat to watch Billys rehab start. So far he looks pretty fluid in center. I have not been able to tell if he is favoring the injury. His first at bat has ok. He took a lot of crap and then lined out to the first baseman. solid shot just right at him. In the second he caught two balls in center

Thanks for the updates!

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but when is he expected back with the big club?

Wednesday is what I heard if things go ok after today's game.

What team is Hall playing for High Desert?

The High Desert Mavs are no longer a Brewers affiliate, as they moved their advanced A team to Brevard Co a couple of years back.

 

The Brewers have an Arizona Summer League (Rookie) team, based out of Maryvale.

Oh wow I feel like an idiot. I forgot that they have not been a team affiliate for awhile. I just couldn't think of anything else.

That's alright, it's just motivation for you to re-immerse yourself with the Brewers minor league teams.

I had to leave just before Billy took his second at bat. Also it was getting extremly hot out. Overall I would say that this little stint was a success. He looked good out in center (a little bored but so was I.) This league is the lowest of rookie ball and the talent is just not that good. Think high school baseball or a little worse since most of these guys are from the Caribbiean and probably have not had that much organized baseball. In the second inning Billy was in the field for a good half hour so I know that he was probably a little disgruntled.

 

There was probably a total of 5 fans there watching. I hope I can get this picture to stick because it was the best I shot today.

So if this was like high school baseball he must have hit about 8 home runs right?

[jason21nl]

Thats a sweet picuture. You probably had to get there way early to get a good seat since so many fans turned out to see his rehab start.

[sundevil1]

If he would have gotten a good pitch he could have hit one out off of the pitcher. Of all the pitches he saw, I do not think one was even close to the plate. This kind of sucks since he is trying to get some good swings in.

 

Just read on JSonline that he will play in one more game tomorrow for the AZ League Brewers and hopefully be in the lineup Wednesday.

[CportBadger]

Since the level of play is so poor, couldn't they have had him rehab in WV, which is closer to Cincy anyway?

Any word on when Hall's game was today and what he has done in it?

A. He's not ready to be activated.

B. We better activate him soon before the crappy pitching ruins all of his mechanics.

So because hes only 1-3 with an rbi he shouldnt be activated?

[MoneyballMan]

BrewCrew, no, I fall into the "B" option above. If the original poster is correct that the pitching is horrible, then I'd rather get him out of there sooner rather than later. He'll wind up getting frustrated and flail at anything. The important thing is his ankle, not his stats. Bring him up!

Here, Here to that! I want Billy back in our lineup. We need some kind if spark, Ryan and Prince cant do it alone.

[MoneyballMan]

Too bad he couldn't have hopped MA's plane this afternoon after the game so he could play this evening in Cincy! (yes, I'm kidding before anyone discusses flying times, etc.)

[BrewCrewForever]

No I to wish Hall could have played tonight to. He always crushes Cincy pitching, and now he will only get two games against them this series.

[craigharmann]

OK, so Hall is supposed to come off the DL today. Who is going down for him? Gwynn? Balfour?

[BillScottCanRake]

It probably will be Gwynn, for a couple of reasons.

 

First, the Brewers are going to need as many pitchers as possible with their doubleheader on Saturday.

 

Second, Gwynn is going to miss time going to see his dad get inducted into the HOF.
