2017-05-19: Brewers (Espino/MLB debut) at Cubs (Butler) 1:20 PM CDT [Brewers win, eventually, 6-3]

[Oxy]

I think Peralta, Barnes, and Knebel can be a quality pen.

[Ennder]

Nice inning Wily! Even the walk shouldn't have been one.

 

Would have to think there's a good chance Knebel isn't available today. He's seen a lot of work lately.

 

Yeah I hope so. He has pitched 4 of the last 5 days and that last one was very high stress.

Do we ever play in Chicago in the middle of the season? Feels like the cold weather hoods are a permanent part of our Wrigley Field uniforms.

[adambr2]

If I were Villar I would probably be laying awake every night thinking about how much money I turned down. I'm not saying he does, but I probably would.

3 Games in September and that is it this year.

[adambr2]

LOL Bryant. Plenty of the plate.

[homer]

Domingo Santana is batting .373/.455/.552 over his last 20 games played.

[LouisEly]

Wily... filthy.

[adambr2]

Is there any chance that Wily is going to transform to a shutdown reliever just from moving to the pen? Because that was shutdown reliever stuff the last 2 innings.

[markedman5]

Wily striking out everybody now....lol

[Ennder]

Domingo Santana is batting .373/.455/.552 over his last 20 games played.

 

Broxton has over a .900 OPS in his past 30 days of games too. OF is looking really good lately.

Yes there is a chance. High velocity fastball plus slider is something that works in a bullpen but isn't enough in the rotation.

Honestly, we assume Brinson should be up in June or July, but he could end up being a September callup guy.

[Ennder]

In fantasy circles I've been telling people Brinson isn't coming up until late in the year, someone heavily struggles or gets hurt or Braun is traded. There just isn't any room for him. If Broxton and Santana both hit all year long it just means someone is traded in the off season.

[Ennder]

If we score here I assume Peralta just finishes the game? oops, didn't notice he was PH for. Guess that can't happen!

[MrTPlush]

Wow all the bunting Counsell does and he doesn't do it there? Come on man.

[homer]

Arcia really clubbing the ball today. 3 hits that went about 100 feet total.

[adambr2]

Torres? Ugh. I know he's been doing ok, I just don't have much confidence in him for some reason.

 

No drama please.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Two hands Keon!

[TURBO]

I think I should probably bench Arrieta on one of my fantasy teams tomorrow... He's been crap lately anyway...

[wildcat2237]

Come on Torres, finish it.

[TURBO]

That is the kind of play that opens the door.

 

darn.

[adambr2]

Watching that play unfold I said 'Villar is going to drop it.'

 

Hopefully no factor . ..

[Ennder]

There is no way you can give him a hit for that play. Yeah it was tricky with the wind but you should make that 90% of the time.

[markedman5]

So Feliz is basically the last man in the pen now........
