Wasn’t Wahl on a similar if not faster timeline?

 

 

You'd think. TJ vs a torn ACL from about 6 weeks before the season. The one thing you don't want to do though if rush a guy who's got a leg injury out there as it can cause him to try and overthrow to compensate for the lack of strength in his legs.

 

I'm still excited for the stretch run, but really excited for what next years team could look like. We should have a loaded pen with Wahl coming back, Knebel coming back, Devin Williams, Rasmussen, Houser...etc..etc....

People here are absolutely bagging on the Black acquisition. What has Wahl proven to make you believe he's a legitimate MLB option and a better option than Black?

@Haudricourt

LHP Brent Suter has said all along he thinks he can be ready to pitch for #Brewers in September and with an assignment to

@BiloxiShuckers, it certainly seems reasonable. Don't put anything past him, with his work ethic and smarts.

 

At the very least, he can help out of the pen. With no ability to add players via trade, getting a guy like Suter back would be tremendous.

Suter gets extended run for Biloxi tonight: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0H, 1 BB, 1 K. 27 pitches/16 strikes.

 

 

He has also resumed his acting career with another stunning performance:

That video was both stupid and hilarious. And also yet oddly realistic? He really sells his part... ;)

This could be really big. Bigger than one would think.

 

Yeah ... another multi-inning reliever that you can trust out there would be a big deal in the very least. It doesn't appear that they are trying to stretch him out to start.

 

This year.

Also made one of my favorite plays of all time

 

 

I think in a different alternate reality Suter could win a gold glove. He fields his position well, he hustles, and makes some spectacular plays as well

My opinion was last year he was on his way to having a really good shot at it, had he not gotten hurt.

Suter had zero chance at the Gold Greinke Glove Award. None, he isn’t good enough to win it. This is typically true for any position, but pitcher may be the worst.

While probably true, I don't know if I've ever seen a pitcher make more "web gem" plays than he has in his short career.

Another two scoreless innings, this time with the Missions in AAA.

 

Rehab outings are obviously firstly about health and building endurance, secondarily about getting the mechanics right and get rid of the rust and the cobwebs, and only a distant third (or fourth) about results. And of course it's a major league pitcher facing inferior opposition.

 

Even with those caveats, Suter still has yet to give up a run or even a hit in 7 IP. 2 walks and 11 strkeouts. Better hitters might get better results, but even so it's encouraging to see him looking sharp straight out of the gate.

Does anyone know if Suter by chance has improved velocity due to a better ligament? I know sometimes that happens. He's never struck out guys like this before. Man it could be huge if Suter came back in the next couple weeks for the stretch run.

 

Read on the twitter that his fastball was 85-89 in his last appearance, so no boost in velo at this point.

Heaiest workload yet 8/15: 2.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K. 50 pitches, 32 strikes.

 

Gave up his first hit, but he did complete his rehab assignment no-hitter: No hits in his first 9 IP through six appearances between Rookie, AA, and AAA.

Suter could probably come up and help the team in a big way right now. Unfortunately there isn't much fat left to trim from the 40-man to make that happen. If you are going to drop a pitcher, I imagine Wilkerson is #1 on the chopping block, probably followed by Taylor Williams and perhaps Jay Jackson again. I doubt they even consider dropping any of the 40-man catchers, and Saladino is probably the only 40-man infielder on the bubble. In the OF, Stokes and Taylor are perhaps bubble guys. Taylor has finally found something offensively over the last couple weeks, though, and is playing very well. Stokes hasn't been good, but he's young.
