The bullpen has fared well?

 

They are 4th in all of MLB in Win Probability Added, so yes.

 

Look around the rest if the league....there are bullpen dumpster fires everywhere early. And the pen hasn't been the problem blowing leads late - it's the starters getting shelled too often early in games. Bullpen depth is a concern until proven otherwise, but to date the pen hasn't killed them.

I'm sure I can cherry pick a stat that makes them look not very good. The reality is if your name isn't Hader or Guerra everyone's heart is in their throat when you pitch...those two have been outstanding.

Right. Results through 17 games are not guaranteed to manifest for the next 145.

 

But, to this point, they have fared well.

Too soon to say he is the best hitting pitcher in Brewers history? I know small sample.... I know Gallardo was a good hitter but man.....he looks legit

He's just a good hitter. No "pitcher" qualifier.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

Judging bullpens off of such small samples is very hard. Dig into the stats and Guerra has been pretty awful, Barnes has been the second best RP on the team. Albers, Barnes and Hader all have sub 3 component ERA stats so they are certainly doing the job at the end of games. Williams, Claudio and Guerra have all been bad so far this year. Wilson and Anderson are sort of in the middle.

I haven't really been listening nor did I see any news really. Is there a chance Jeffress pitches tonight? If he is available a stable lead holds it would seem like a good spot to try getting him work.

 

He is active so I'd assume if they have a big lead he'll get into the game to get his feet wet. Didn't hear anything specific about it though.
