AUDIO via Matt Pauley's WTMJ Brewers 'Extra Innings' Podcast: "The Brewers spent the past week on the west coast, where they were swept by the Angels but took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers in a rematch of last year's NLCS. On this week's Podcast, Brew Crew Ball managing editor Kyle Lesniewski joins the show as he gives his thoughts on the club. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Radio voice Chris Mehring also joins the podcast to tell listeners about the Brewers prospects playing in Appleton."

 

For the purposes of this particular forum, the Chris Mehring interview begins at the 36:30 minute mark.

 

But do enjoy the podcast in full

I was putzing through Erceg's peripherals so far, and he seems to be quietly having a good start to the season. K and BB rates are outstanding. He has a 190 BABIP and an 882 OPS heading into today, I assume that doesn't count the bomb he already hit today. Has anyone seen anything notably different from him this year? While the sample is small, everything I'm seeing is very promising for him.

RHP Marcos Diplan's 40-man roster spot has to be tenuous. He's used his second option this year. Even if he lands in Milwaukee in 2021, he'd have to be up to stay at that point, and the Brewers aren't big fans of non-optionable pitchers. And where have the results ever been worthwhile recently?

The two veteran radio guys discuss the many games they have called, including ones in major league stadiums. Lots of baseball breakdown in this segment, so get ready!"

Since starting 18-9, Brewers affiliates have gone 5-14 since to even their overall mark at 23-23.

Good luck to RHP Andrew Vernon, released in spring training after working his way through Tommy John surgery, as he just signed with the independent Frontier League's River City Rascals (O’Fallon, Missouri).

I noted this in the SA thread, but it looks like he is another Driveline guy...

 

Lucas Erceg makes an appearance in FanGraphs Daily Prospect Notes for 04/10. Excerpt...

 

Erceg is one of the more prominent early-adopters of some of Driveline Baseball’s hitting philosophies, which has made him a bit of a visual focal point for reasons other than just talent evaluation. He’s a pretty extreme fly ball hitter who will show power to all fields, but he hasn’t performed on paper. In my opinion, it’s a selectivity issue more than a mechanical one.
