Does Megill have a nickname? Because he desperately needs one.

My suggestion would be:

Kilted Flammenwerfer...look it up, lol!

Assuming Megill is of scottish heritage based on his name...Highlander would be solid.

The brewers are 6 games up on reds and 8 on giants for last wild card spot.    
 

brewers are looking pretty good right now

I was told with absolute certainly that the Crew was already out of the running, but we just didn't know it yet.

Magoo wouldn't be bad. Gives the impression he throws 102 but can't really see the plate or hitter very well. Then hit the bull while warming up & you have it made.😁

Cahna is still very mediocre. How didn't he make that catch at the wall today? 

The yellow portion of the wall juts out a maybe couple inches from the wall below. His glove was under the jut, and he went straight up after the ball. Glove hits jut.

Not making an excuse for him, just explaining what happened.

He had a 94 wRC+ before going 2-5 today with 2 RBI and a run scored. He’s also been pretty clutch with his +0.75 WPA ranking 4th on the team entering the game.

Either way, with bottom three in MLB production from DH (80 wRC+) and RF (69 wRC+) this year, mediocrity is a significant upgrade. 

From the neck-up, the type of approach Canha shows is something I think we're transitioning to, and that's a good thing. Frelick. Turang (during the last month). Black. Wilkin & Boeve, if they pan out. Yelich & Contreras, when they don't get over-anxious. Keep doing what he's been doing & he's a huge asset.

I think my math is wrong.    Is it only 7 games on giants?
