Its a parody account.

Brewer World? U sure thats a parody acct? Dude gets pretty defensive.


He loves to troll. Go back through his tweets again, you can tell he likes to stir the pot and acts like the Brewers are making moves for all top players. He's even gotten lucky once or twice. I'm 99.9% sure he's a troll

It will be interesting to see what roster moves are made and what the rotation looks like. Knebel is activated tomorrow, that we know.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

My guess is Knebel takes Jorge Lopez spot

It wasn't even that fun. More frustrating than anything. One of the Brewers twitter guys called it an "epic" at bat last night. Uh, no, it was terrible. We had some flat out awful AB's after first and second with nobody out, Pina's included. On the bright side, Hader continues to amaze.

Yeah. Not to sound like an insensitive di*k, but I'm actually happy that Nick Franklin got hurt. Sorry, Nick, its not you, its this organization's strange obsession with you getting big league AB's.

I was there with my kids and it was kind of fun in person because he kept on fouling off pitches and many were right around where we were sitting. Kept the kids interested at the very least and woke up the crowd a bit. Was kind of surprised though that McAllister didn't throw a breaking pitch sooner since he was ahead in the count, it sure appeared that Pina had some good pitches to hit.

These guys are literally all interchangeable to me, but Orf has to hate management, even if he's basically the same or worse than this caravan of journeyman utility players.

Orf has never seen the majors for a reason and has had more time to beef up his numbers in Colorado Springs the past 2 years.

Is ARCIA a slow starter or just not a very great MLB bat? I know he got hot last year about the time i was down on him. And yes, I understand only 23. Just not sure what we have offensively with him.

Likely not great, but players have definitely blossomed after age 23. So if he remains like this, he's just not a good hitter that had a bit of a lucky stretch last year. But he can definitely improve given that he's still relatively young.

Arcia seems like the type of guy and pulls a Segura and leads the MLB in hits somehow. I would think there are some adjustments he needs to make in the box. He always looks off balance, and I understand that is his thing but it's hard to be consistent
