The Milwaukee Brewers were smart to decline starting pitcher Braden Looper's $6.5 million mutual option, freeing up a significant amount of money to plug various holes. Looper led baseball in home runs, checking in at 194.2 innings of a 5.22 ERA. I don't think serving up all those home runs are sustainable, so it's likely he returns to a mid-4.50s ERA next year. Is that good enough to bring him back...
More photos » by Jeff Chiu - AP Manny Parra is not one of the 24 pitchers with above average Brewer careers. How many can you name? Browse more photos » As we progress through the offseason, there will probably be some conversations about "league average" pitching and its value. Here's something to keep in mind during that conversation: Counting one season as the Seattle Pilots,...
This is outside my normal realm of analysis, but it's something I've wanted to address for a while. I'll get some Arizona Fall League Pitch F/x stuff up later in this week or early next week for sure. I'm not too much of a pitcher, but I sometimes get that role in stickball games. I often struggle with my control. I'm inside, outside, high, and low. It really has nothing to do with my concentration...
Maybe you heard about the unfortunate post on the usually unreliable Bleacher Report website over the weekend. The writer had a "rumor" that had the Brewers considering sending J.J. Hardy, Manny Parra and two prospects to the Royals for -- wait for it -- Zack Greinke. If this is the first you heard of it, I'll wait while you cycle through the normal emotions. "WHAT?!?" (shakes head...
Fox 6 in Milwaukee Tweeted this tonight: “Internet whisper says Brewers have completed deal for Royals SP Zack Greinke. Brewers supposedly sending Royals JJ Hardy, Manny Parra, Mat Gamel & Angel Salome !!! … We called Brewers GM Doug Melvin to either confirm or deny, but he’s not answering or responding right now.” As a long-suffering [...]
(note: bumped from FanPosts) In the same vein as yesterday's Minor League free agents, these are the John Maine -esque, under the radar steals of typically cheap, young pitchers that for whatever reason become available. Whether it's a post-hype prospect (like Maine), a 4-5 starter that's out of options but won't make the 40-man or just a player that's being overlooked, usually this is someone who...

The Brewers scored 12 unanswered runs in 3 innings last night, including four on wild pitches, to come back from a 6-0 deficit to beat the Cardinals 12-6. Ryan Braun got hits 198 and 199, as well as steal 19, leaving him just shy of a few landmarks. Braun scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch that didn't get too far away from Jadier Molina. Braun was dancing a bit at third, but despite BA's claims...

Boxscore In a giving mood Loss lets Colorado in playoff door Standing in a nearly empty dugout about an hour before the game, Ken Macha raved about Manny Parra's raw, natural ability. The manager of the Milwaukee Brewers praised the Parra for what seems to be limitless potential and an arm and frame capable of supporting his rise. Then again, the question with Parra, the left-hander the Brewers were...
Mike Blowers may have been a mediocre Major League Baseball player, but he's one helluva fortune teller. The ex-Yankee, Mariner, Dodger, and Athletic played 3rd, 1st, and outfield during his 11 professional seasons posting a line of: .257/.745, 290 r, 591 h, 116 dbl, 78 hr, and 365 rbi in 761 games. He was actually drafted on 4 different occasions, finally signing with the Montreal Expos after the...
A commenter over on BCB coined a new term and I'm digging it- brewtal brewtal [BROO-tal (adj) – 1. savage; cruel; inhuman: Watching Jeff Suppan is brewtal. 2. crude; coarse: Manny Parra’s pitching is brewtal. 3. harsh; The weather is brewtal today. The Milwaukee pitching has been brewtal this year. 4. taxing, demanding, or exhausting: They’re having a brewtal time throwing strikes....

The Rockies clinch a postseason spot at home by clobbering Manny Parra and the Brewers, chasing the Milwaukee starter after only 2.2 innings. Parra walked in two runs in the third, including Colorado pitcher Aaron Cook — impressively, his second walk of the day. He ended up walking three times and collecting a pair of RBIs. With a stiff wind coming into the park from the outfield, a lot of long...
