The point is it’s common for young hitters to have a low walk rate and for it to increase as they get more experience.

@espnhomer As he gets more experience, his walks should increase. It’s better this year than last year. He is only 22. All parts of his game need to improve for superstardom.

@jimithyeisen23 @SparkyRadio It’s probably a little early to move on from Sal but at this point, he’s probably a 4th outfielder. His offense picked up last year and was hoping for it to take another step but so far this year it has taken a step back. Lara is breathing down his neck.

@RyanWingFOX11 Let’s see what happens with Woodruff, Henderson, Sproat, Drohan. There is potential for all.

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@SparkyRadio @jimithyeisen23 What about defense and baserunning? Playing Vaughn weakens 2 defense spots and he hits into double plays and can’t run. I love Vaughn playing against LHP. I think it’s time to replace Frelick with Lara.

@colt1962 @espnhomer Very subjective to say Astros lineup was better. I don’t think that’s true. 5 more K definitely impressive. 95 pitches for Miz vs 122 for Wood. Miz threw 19 balls vs 38 balls for Wood.

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@colt1962 @espnhomer Miz had way less pitches and no 3 ball counts. Woods had a HBP.

@JordanLoppnow Wasn’t that a sunny afternoon early season game with shadows affecting the hitters. Do we take that into account?

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@RichRolld41 @BesartsMind @ONABAMfan No 3 ball counts even!

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@AdamMcCalvy No 3 ball counts! I wonder how often that ever happens in a CG? And he throwing 104! Crazy good!!

@jeffwagnerradio You don’t win the World Series in June. Another month or two in AAA will do them all good. Pratt and Lara have only been in AAA a couple of months. Williams AAA stats really aren’t worthy of a call up right now. Perkins will go down once Lockridge comes off the Injured list.

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@Stevie_C1977 @dekker Weakens two defensive spots when Vaughn plays and Bauers goes to the outfield too. Plus baserunning downgrade. The way Sal has been hitting, might be worth it right now though. I love Vaughn but with Bauers cooking, it’s a good problem to have.

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@BrazeauJay @TomOatesWSJ It’s obvious better production is needed but not sure the prospects are ready at this point. Probably need to look outside the organization.

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@Jloveszn0 @BrewersOfMKE @1MrFantasy We need upgrades but the minor leaguers need more development. Need to look outside the organization or wait.

@jaypo1961 Why not cheer? You no longer need to be the impartial journalist. Being a fan is the best!

@MadtownMaverick @BartWinklerShow For Bart too!

[RF @Rick___Jay]

@nkp1980eng @jeffwagnerradio Williams wil be up when the Brewers feel he is ready. My thought is he is very close. If he is not ready, they need to stay with Rengifo a bit longer.

@jaypo1961 @jackeichsays 60 percent of homes had cable in 1992 so to say there were only 4 or 5 options is just not true either.
