Ray Black has ben called up, per Robert Murray on Twitter. Faria optioned to AAA. Kinda excited to see what the fireballer can do.

I'm not optimistic on this guy yet. He obviously didn't work right and needed fixing, I doubt we got that done in 2 weeks.

We are desperate, we are now throwing anything against the wall in hoping that it sticks.

 

Not the way to be in a pennant chase, but it's what we are.

Me too. I like that we now have 2 big time stuff guys in the pen, with Williams.

You're not wrong, but no real choices here.

[bill hAll Star]

At this point I'm equally interested in giving Black a tryout for next year since he'll be out of options.

Didn't see it mentioned, but the game is streaming as MLB's YouTube Game of the Week in case anyone was looking:

Thanks. I would've assumed you needed a subscription or account of some kind and not bothered with it. But it seems to be working fine. should help pass the work day

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, not a great start.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Good lord. I feel like the Twins lineup is what the Brewers tried (and somewhat failed) to do. Everyone hits bombs.

This game is obviously a long way from being over but this is so depressing

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Obvious already that the offense isn't going to have the luxury of taking a vacation day until the 6th or 7th inning, which has seemingly happened a lot lately.

[folly412]

Grisham now 9-17 leading off and 1-15 in every other position.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The announcers just called Hiura a power hitter. That's a mischaracterization. He's a hitter with power.

[jason21nl]

Time to make them pay

[Eye Black]

This game is obviously a long way from being over but this is so depressing

No matter how bleak things seemingly get one small bit of solace is knowing Grisham, Yelich, and Hiura should be three of the top four hitters in the lineup for the foreseeable future. That’s a solid starting point to build upon.

Yeesh

[phnxcrew]

Start giving Grisham half the starts in center. Cain is getting to the embarrassing level.

[brooks_quichenick]

Will Lorenzo ever hit anything but a weak grounder to the left side ever again? Time will tell

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Time to make them pay

 

Nope ... Moose tried his best to hit into a double play, then Cain says "hold my beer." Depressing.

[NYChez]

Cain is batting 6th and Thames 7th for what reason?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Cain is just a ground ball machine. After the error, that is just a killer AB.

[BruisedCrew]

Last night he hit a weak grounder to the right side.
