Wilkerson starting. Really?

 

Someone teach me how to insert the blink 182 mullet gif please because that is the only possible post here.

Fair enough. Out of curiosity, who would you have started? I'm assuming Woodruff...

[TJH123]

Feel like this would’ve been a good opportunity to see what we have in Corbin Burnes, they seem to think his future could be as a reliever based on his recent outings, which is annoying.

Sometimes, plans change.

 

Corbin Burnes learned that firsthand recently, when after spending two years in the Milwaukee Brewers organization developing himself as a starting pitcher, he was informed he was going to the bullpen.

 

The switch will be a temporary one and is far from a demotion.

 

The idea was borne out of the desire to get the right-hander to the major leagues more quickly, with the hope Burnes can pitch effectively in relief and help the Brewers back to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.

[YelichPosse]

I would have loved to see Woodruff but , with most strange moves, DS has proven correct more often than not.

 

Hope we can get Cain back today ... or tomorrow and the offense put up like 10. Wilkerson can do whatever at that point !

[Chicago Here]

other than minny, we have struggled to take advantage of using the first wins of a series only to end up with splits after losing the back ends.

 

While we will get crushed today, there isnt any other pitcher to use other than Wilkerson.

 

If we can get 3 innings from him, who do we put in?

 

IMO, even if he gives 3 innings, just leave him in there for 7 and treat this as a spring training day. Use up all of sogards ABs as well. Maybe let williams pitch the last 2 innings.

We simply dont have starting pitching depth so dont blame Counsell.

Nice. Thanks for the crystal ball. I won't watch today.

 

I will bet you $1,000 Sogard won't get any at bats for the Crew today.

[phnxcrew]

I'll agree that Woodruff should be starting. One can only hope the speculation that a trade is occurring with Woodruff as a piece, otherwise I hope we're not giving up on him in favor of a journeyman AAAA guy. Sanchez is certainly pitching way over his head, so hopefully it's a slug fest that we walk off with. Go Brewers!

Because call ups making a spot start have never had good outings, right? How many times over the years have we faced pitchers making their MLB debut and absolutely shut us down? Quite a bit, and those were years where we actually had pretty good offenses.

 

You just never know.

Like Joey Myers Bombs said yesterday, he prob goes 7 strong today and blows our minds.

If anything is evident about this team this year, it's clear we DO have starting pitching depth. We're above league average without Nelson, Miley (Yeah, I know, he counts), Davies, now Suter, and Chase Anderson trying to decide if he's good or bad. Guerra, Chacin, Suter and Peralta have been the reason the bullpen has been able to shine. Go watch Wilkerson throw a shutout today. Baseball makes no sense.

I'll bet 5 million Sogard doesn't see an AB today.

 

Geez.

[adambr2]

I've been hard on ol' man Brauny lately, so he's due. 3 for 4 with a HR today.

Obviously there are different levels of fandom and casual fans are great to have, etc.. but to come here and say so many outlandish things and then follow it up by proving you don't really follow the team all that seriously is kind of funny..

[Lee16]

In absolutely shocking news, Braun has been scratched. Perez will play for him.

[buckybrewer232]

With Wilkerson starting and Braun not being able to hit anyways, I would've gone with Broxton over Braun to strengthen the D.

[cesser000]

Wilkerson pitched 7 innings of 2-hit ball against the Cards the final game last season. Hoping we get that Wilkerson today.

Get crushed today??? Thanks for letting us know.

 

Isn't any other pitcher to use... NO... Woodruff was actually lined up, they chose Wilkerson because of the year he's having in AAA.

 

3 innings? No, he's stretched out as a starter.

 

Sogard plays for Colorado Springs, lol.

 

Don't have starting pitching depth? Anderson, Guerra, Chacin, Suter, Perralta, Davies, Miley, Nelson, Woodruff, Wilkerson... How many do we need? Depth we have.

I don't believe Sogard plays for anybody at the moment. He doesn't play for Colorado Springs. He is still in DFA limbo and they may just move on. Yes we have a deep rotation -- just not a top heavy one.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Can we remove posts like PinaMadness' above please? It is not funny or clever and is really deeply alienating to a lot of fans, male and female.

 

Hope Perez stays hot. Go Crew!
