Last weekend for Brewer baseball until spring... Go CREW!

[pacopete4]

Always a sad time of year. Love football season but there's just nothing like a baseball season.

[CheezWizHed]

Well, Suter pitched well in Colorado Springs, so he should be well versed in how to manage the altitude.

The jitters should be out, too.

[adambr2]

Holy defense, folks.

[adambr2]

That was textbook on how replay SHOULD look. Even though it was close and tough to see, they were able to see it and overturn it quickly.

[TURBO]

It is hard for me to imagine Suter as a staple in the rotation with that 85 mph fastball... I wish him nothing but the best of luck going forward, but I don't have as much faith in him sticking as some do.

[adambr2]

Sedar gonna Sedar.

[TURBO]

Way to hustle down that line Domingo...

 

...and another great decision to waive Carter in from 3rd Eddie, you ridiculous excuse for a 3B coach. Eddie has to go, he just has to GO! Of course Arcia follows that up with a base hit, Eddie costing us yet another run.

[jason21nl]

Sedar has to go. Know who the hell is running!

[TURBO]

I can't believe Rock and BA don't rip on Eddie for his ineptness. They must see it, right?

[jason21nl]

They just love trying to steal 3rd with two outs

[1992casey]

All games this weekend are free on MLB.TV.

I'm sure they know it, but probably not in good taste in their position to rip any of the Brewers coaches/managers beyond the mild 'probably would have done it differently if he had to do it over again.'

[adambr2]

What an absolute joke of a call.

[1992casey]

Rockies fans were treated to a game that ended before 9:00 local time.

To be honest, Suter's bounced between the rotation the last couple of years.

 

Two starts in the majors is a small sample size. I'd like to commit to Suter in the rotation for a year, and see how it goes. We know he can be a shut-down bullpen guy - a left-handed Doug Jones. But can he be more? Id like to find out. Worst case, he goes back to the pen as a shut-down reliever. Best case, he buys time for the top pitching prospects.

I thought Suter is the top pitching prospect.

I was sitting between 3b and the edge off the OF in the 14th row. Carter was barely around 3b when the OF got the ball. I knew he would be out as soon as I saw Sedar wave him around. Just a horrible call, because you would have had a guy on 3b with one out.

I think he is. But I do worry about what the bouncing between the bullpen and rotation did. I think he could be very good. I think his floor is as a closer - a left-handed Doug Jones. Top case? A #2 starter. Middle case, a borderline #3/#4.

 

Still, I think he's got the lowest risk of the pitching prospects. But he needs to be stretched out, and the Brewers need to commit to a real shot at the rotation.
