2018-04-21: Marlins (Urena) at Brewers (Suter) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5]

[stoutdude04]

I don’t have an issue with Suter getting a shot to start but I will have an issue if they don’t make a change when it’s apparent he’s not that good.

 

Well said.

[adambr2]

Don't think that should have been caught Rock, that was pretty much in no man's land in left center.

[TURBO]

Thames is going deep here, I can feel it!

[adambr2]

Alright we need to capitalize this inning...

[adambr2]

Thames is going deep here, I can feel it!

 

Not quite, but I'll still take it!

[TURBO]

I meant to say he is going to find a hole and single, yeah, that's what I meant to say.

 

[pacopete4]

This team would benefit greatly if they had a good bat in the sixth spot.

Agree. I have been as big of supporter of Suter on here as anyone, but if he can't get it done we need to give Woodruff another look if he's throwing well in AAA.

[82brewcrew82]

I guess that counts as positive for Sogard.

[adambr2]

Wow just read Knebel is already throwing off a mound.

[82brewcrew82]

That's surprising.

[adambr2]

I guess that counts as positive for Sogard.

 

I guess sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Should have been an easy double play.

[wildcat83]

Not only closed the gap, but also got the pitch count up. The sooner we get into the Marlins crappy pen the better.

I'm reaching, I know.

No way is this true of anyone not named Clancy.

I defended him pretty hard, I really thought he could be an effective 5th starter.

The bar is high, did you rank him the best prospect in the organization?

[stoutdude04]

Wild pitch...single. Suter can be effective as a spot started. Not full time.

[adambr2]

That right there is why I hate having Yelich in RF. Just a waste of his defensive talents.

[pacopete4]

Per Adam McCalvy

Ryan Braun's 700th extra-base hit tied Bobby Bonds for 188th all-time. Next up, a trio of onetime Brewers: George Foster and Dante Bichette (702), then Cecil Cooper (703).

 

Hank Aaron is the all-time extra-base hit king, with 1,477.

[TURBO]

George Foster was a Brewer?

 

Do tell...

[Greenleaf1]

I am a Suter fan and definitely wanted him in the rotation this year, but as much as I like him, I just have a hard time seeing him as any sort of long term starter with the organization or even bullpen arm.

 

There are just too many promising arms in our system that are going to fill up the rotation and the bullpen, Suter would have to be very effective and basically force us to keep him which he's really not doing (he looked particularly hittable tonight, all his pitches seemed like they were ending up with too much of the plate and up).

 

Suter was probably always destined for a short stay in the rotation this year, and with Miley/Nelson/Woodruff/Burnes/Peralta all likely to get shots in the rotation at some point this year, he's going to fall way down the depth chart once he gets taken out of the rotation, and the bullpen is looking pretty full right now.

 

I'd say his best chance at any sort of role with the Brewers is as the 8th man in the bullpen or a spot starter that spends most of his time at AAA and as long as he has options he can be kept as depth or until we really need his 40-man roster spot.

[adambr2]

Damn. 0-2 and Yelich just missed it.

[yfinn6]

Nice work, Braun. Just missed it but still got a run in. I like our chances still against their bullpen. Urena is bound to give Shaw a mistake.

[pacopete4]

Both so close to taking it out of the park. Nice to get it back to one run.
